The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 149

Annoyed, Andrew clenched his teeth and, like a petulant woman, let out a huff and stamped his foot.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Andrew's tantrum, Daniel couldn't help but laugh. "What's the matter, Andrew? Can't handle losing?"

"Who says I can't handle it! It's just twenty million, right? I'll transfer it to you now! But for the record, you must engage in a gambling match with me tonight if you take my twenty million. You have to accept any bet I challenge you with—no matter what. If either of us wants to back out, that person has to return all the winnings to the other!" Andrew laid down his terms. He believed that even if he kept losing, as long as he won once, he could win back everything from Daniel. So he made such a demand.

As they were speaking, Christopher arrived, not alone, but accompanied by a distinguished-looking middle-aged man. This man was Isaac Martinez, the owner of DC's Jade Realm, and he was the top Jade Gambling expert in the USA, known as the king of Jade Gambling.

Jade Realm had grown from a little-known shop to DC's number one jade store in just a decade, thanks to Isaac’s Jade Gambling prowess. Isaac wore gold-rimmed glasses and sported a Monkey Ring on his right thumb—a family heirloom handed down to him by his grandfather. The ring gave him the unique ability to feel the presence of jade within a stone just by touch. However, such discernment was challenging, and Isaac could only rely on his sense of touch.

Isaac inherited the Monkey Ring at eight and practiced for thirty full years before he could faintly sense jade within stone. At the age of thirty-nine, he went to DC alone and started Jade Realm. With the talents granted by the Monkey Ring, he gambled in Jade Gambling around the city, eventually earning the honor of Jade Gambling king and turning Jade Realm into DC's premier jade store.

"Andrew, are you engaging in Jade Gambling here?" Christopher inquired.
