The began to drag Daniel away, but he was as unmovable as a post, and she couldn’t

budge him, in a panic, Jessica stamped her foot and asked, “What are you doing?

Why won’t you leave?”

* won’t be a deserter! I’m going to bet with them! Don’t worry, even if they cheat, they can’t beat me! We must believe in justice; we must trust that the goddess of victory will favor the righteous!”

Daniel spouted gibberish that made Jessica want to slap him. After finishing, he

pulled away from Jessica’s grasp and strode into the pile of stones, casually picking

out three.

“These ones!”

After Daniel made his decision, Isaac couldn’t help but smirk. The country boy had

picked three stones, all of which Isaac had previously examined and knew had

nothing valuable inside.

Isabella’s brow furrowed slightly. Which stones within the pile possibly contained

high–quality jade, and which were essentially worthless, that information was largely

determined during the mining stage, and as Jade Gambling props, they underwent

various tests to ensure no surprises.

Thus, Isabella knew that the three stones Daniel had chosen were almost the worst

picks possible, while the three chosen by Isaac were indeed the best. With ten

million, she could not think of a more valuable combination than what Isaac had

picked.

Even though the six stones hadn’t been cut open, the outcome seemed determined. But Isabella was unfazed. For her, Daniel losing might even be a good thing. Spending ten billion to recruit such a capable assistant was worthwhile.

Jessica didn’t understand Jade Gambling and couldn’t fathom Daniel’s actions. All

she could do was pray for him.

“Daniel, why did you pick the three cheapest ones? Your three stones together are worth just three million. Are you planning to spend the remaining seven million on

other stones?”

“Why would I want other stones? I only need these three, worth a total of three

million, to defeat Isaac.”

Daniel looked at Isaac and said with a chuckle, “Out of respect for your seniority, I’ll give you another chance. If these three stones are not more valuable than the ones I chose, you can pick another one, no matter the cost.”

During the stone selection, Isaac had glanced several times at the stone priced at 8.8 billion, and Daniel had noticed that stone. He knew very well there was nothing in

that 8.8–billion–worth stone. If he could get Isaac to persuade Andrew to buy that

stone, he wouldn’t mind at all!

Daniel was not naively kind. Since Andrew wanted to gamble with him, Daniel

intended to teach Andrew a harsh lesson. He wanted to make it clear that Andrew

had messed with the wrong person.

Caught off guard by Daniel’s offer, Isaac was stunned for a moment. However, he quickly figured it out.

“Country boy, you realize you’ll lose to me, so you’re trying to set a trap? I’ll tell you

this: I won’t fall for it!”

Andrew, failing to grasp the situation, curiously asked Isaac, “What’s this country boy up to?”

“This country boy is quite cunning! He suddenly made this offer, almost making me fall into his trap!” Isaac exclaimed.
