Andrew figured it was only a matter of borrowing for one evening. As soon as he won against the country boy, the ten billion he borrowed would instantly double to twenty billion.
This could be the best deal he'd ever make—an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
Having made his decision, Andrew turned to Isaac and asked, "Can you win against this country boy?"
"Of course!"
"Good! If you win against him tonight, I'll give you a bonus of one billion! As for Great Stephens, who recommended you, I'll reward him with fifty million!"
Andrew was willing to be quite generous to win people over.
The prospect of earning a billion had Isaac practically floating with joy. "You can count on me, Andrew. I will not let you down; I'll surely win this bet against that country boy!"
"Excellent! I hope you won’t disappoint me."
Andrew transferred ten billion from the company account into his personal account and then into the joint account that Scarlett had set up.
Once the full twenty billion was confirmed in the account, Isabella announced to both men, "The stakes are set. Please begin your performance. The rules are clear: each of you only has ten million in available funds, and whoever ends up with the jade stones of higher value wins."
Daniel, looking at Isaac with a cheery demeanor, said, "Since you're the king of Jade Gambling, I trust you must have some special abilities. Therefore, you should start first!"
Isaac was taken aback. Having the same amount of capital, whoever picked first would have the advantage because the other could only choose from what was left.
Was this country bumpkin really that clueless, allowing Isaac to pick first? In a scenario involving ten billion, Isaac certainly wouldn't demur.
