The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 349

"Deal!" Aiden readily agreed, then watched Daniel with a smiling gaze, curious about what he would choose.

She expected Daniel to carefully select from the pile, but to her surprise, he didn't take that route. Instead, Daniel randomly picked out ten different herbs from the discarded pile and then turned to Aiden with a grin.

"Aiden, are these ten alright? Need to check them again? If these turn out to be valuable herbs, I'm sure you’ll be the one crying!"

"What are you talking about! I won’t be the one crying for sure!" Aiden rolled her eyes and said confidently, "These ten herbs you picked are worthless! I should be thanking you for giving me an easy thousand dollars."

After showing off, Aiden felt it wasn’t enough, so she turned to Brittany. "Nice move, lending a thousand to him and asking back ten times more. You’re making more than me, a clean nine thousand profit."

Brittany was livid. Indeed, she could make an easy nine-thousand-dollar profit, but that meant Aiden gained a thousand! Why should Daniel's money go to anyone but her?

Brittany, still fuming, glared at Daniel. "What’s the secret with these ten herbs you picked? How much are they really worth?"

"The cheapest one here is worth a hundred thousand. The most expensive could be worth a billion! How about this, I’ll sell them to you for a hundred thousand in total."

His words made Brittany feel like her chest was about to explode with fury, her heart ached from the exasperation.

Brittany, savvy as she was, quickly figured out the country boy's scheme.
