The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 136

Indeed, the cross-section was red, but it was a dull red with many impurities. To everyone's eyes, the quality of the jade looked quite average. Despite its size being as big as a fist, the stone's many impurities meant that if used for bracelets, the finished product wouldn't yield more than ten bracelets. To say it was worth five million was a stretch—it might not even be worth five hundred. It looked like Daniel had seriously messed up.

Nicholas, whose expression had initially been full of expectation, now looked visibly upset upon seeing the cut-open stone. Pointing at the dull red cross-section with visible impurities, he asked Daniel, "Is this what you call a Blood Jade worth five million?"

"Yes," Daniel nodded confidently, offering a suggestion to Nicholas. "If you don’t think it's worth five million, I can refund the three million, and you can return the stone to me. We can cancel the transaction."

Hearing this, Andrew quickly called out to Nicholas, "Cancel! Only an idiot wouldn’t cancel this transaction!"

Yet, Nicholas shook his head, indicating his refusal. "I've never regretted a business decision. It’s only three million—I can afford the loss."

Andrew was speechless, but he didn't give up. After pondering for a moment, he came up with a rationale to try to convince Nicholas. "You don’t renounce deals, Nicholas, I respect that. However, this isn't just about one transaction—it's about two.

The first transaction already concluded when you bought the stone from the country boy. Now, there's a second potential deal since he's willing to purchase the stone back from you for three million.
