The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 139

Picking up the conversation with a chuckle, Daniel said, "Maybe Nicholas isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's certainly not stupid. It's you, the so-called top Florida appraiser, who seems to be blind. A five million dollar Blood Jade right in front of you, and you can't recognize it? Maybe you should quit being an appraiser, Henry. Ever thought about construction work? After all, that doesn't require good eyesight!"

Daniel's words felt like a slap in the face to Henry, who was instantly boiling with rage.

"What do you mean by that, you little hillbilly? Are you saying I'm blind?"

"If a Blood Jade is right before you and you can't recognize it, what other explanation could there be if not blindness?"

"That's just a piece of junk plastic, and you dare call it Blood Jade? I think it's you who's blind—no, you were born blind!"

Just as Henry finished speaking, the flames in the plate went out, leaving the two halves of what was supposed to be precious stones charred and emitting a pungent burnt odor.

Andrew understood the irony immediately and burst into laughter. "Hahaha..." he laughed so hard that everyone could see the jubilation in his face.
