Chapter 162 The King of Jade Gambling 

Andrew was still confused, so he continued to ask, “What kind of trap has this 

country boy set for you?” 

Isaac put on an air of having seen right through Daniel’s plan and explained, “He was 

trying to entice me to say the same words!” 

“What do you mean?” 

“He just said I could pick an additional stone, but his real intent was to tempt me into 

stating he could also choose another stone. 

That country boy’s picks are worthless–none of them contain any jade, so he’s sure 

to lose. 

But if I hadn’t seen through his ruse, I might have, out of politeness, allowed him to 

choose an extra stone as well, meaning he could add one with no spending limit. 

I have chosen the three stones with the most value for ten million. 

If the country boy picked another without a limit, spending more, he could potentially 

grab a stone that would be worth more than mine!” 

After Isaac’s explanation, Andrew immediately grasped what was happening. 

“Heh!” Andrew started with a cold laugh, then addressed Daniel, “I hadn’t realized 

that you, a simple country boy, would be so sly. Such tricks you come up with; it appears you really are full of schemes! 

But still, you are too naïve. Did you really think you could deceive the king of Jade Gambling? He saw right through your evil plan.” 

Daniel’s failed scheme delighted Brittany, who naturally seized the chance to throw in a jab. “Country boy, I didn’t realize you were this sort of person before. Don’t you have any integrity? Such underhanded trickery -it’s a good thing the King of Jade Gambling saw through your plans. If you had gambled with someone as pure as, say, me today, I bet you’d have sold me off to some gang.” 

Brittany was trying to convey to Jessica just how sneaky Daniel was and how 

innocent she herself was. She wanted Jessica to take heed and not be fooled by the country boy any longer. 

Daniel, uninterested in pointless chatter, prompted, “Let’s have the staff open these stones!” 

“Fine!!” Isaac pointed to the stone he was most proud of and told the staff, “Open this one first and show the country boy something special!” 

The staff member took up the saw and began to carve into the stone. A stone the size of a goose egg was split in half. 

Green! 

The center of the stone was filled with green. Although the green wasn’t entirely pure, a jade of this size was worth at least five million. 

And consider that the stone had been priced at just one million. 

At one million for a jade worth five million, the return on investment was five–fold! 

Everyone who saw it instantly started to praise him. 

“The king of Jade Gambling truly lives up to his name! Invest a million and just like that, earn five million back–amazing!” 

“That Henry, who claims to be Florida’s number one appraiser? Now he seems like nothing but trash!” 

“With the King of Jade Gambling on Andrew’s side, this round is sure to drain that country boy of everything!!” 

“I thought it would be boring just to see the country boy crawling and barking like a dog. But now that he’s about to lose a billion in one go, I’m curious to see how he’ll take it all..
