The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 999 A Priceless Treasure

Daniel paused, taking a deep breath before continuing, “You see, all lying women are usually not very pretty! With you being this stunning, you wouldn't lie, right? As long as you recognize that my jade is indeed rare Imperial Green Jade worth 1 billion, I’m sure you’ll buy it.”

“Do you really trust me that much?” Delilah asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “What if I'm in cahoots with Grant?”

“Come on! You’re too beautiful and good-hearted to be working with someone like Grant. He’s just a pathetic little man—there’s no way he’d roll with someone as lovely as you! If he was with you, that would tarnish your beauty!”

“Listen, kiddo, didn’t your mom ever tell you that women can’t be trusted? Especially gorgeous women; they are the least trustworthy!” Delilah laughed, playfully mocking Daniel.

He couldn’t help but smile back, his sunny disposition shining through. “My mom taught me that the prettier the woman, the more you can trust her. My mom is a stunning woman, and she said I must believe everything she says. Because a beautiful woman’s face is her credit—more beautiful means more trustworthy.”

Delilah burst into laughter, genuinely entertained by his response. “Since you trust me so much, let’s see if your stone really is rare Imperial Green Jade! I’ve seen all kinds of jade. My skills may not be as great as Aaron’s, but since I’m the one spending money, I’ll check even more carefully. I will give you an exact figure, not just a rough estimate. I need to know if it’s actually worth 1 billion.”

She waved her delicate hand, and her attractive assistant brought over some equipment. Setting the stone down on a pedestal, Delilah pulled out a special flashlight specifically designed for examining jade. The light from this flashlight was different from a regular one.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

With a flick, she turned the flashlight on, shining it on the rare Imperial Green Jade. The beam purified perfectly from one side to the other. Delilah changed angles, and the result was the same— the light passed right through.

The quality of the jade was impeccable, nearly untarnished. Delilah was meticulous. After she's done inspecting, she confirmed that this was indeed Imperial Green Jade. But was it rare enough to warrant that title? She wasn’t fully convinced yet and needed to inspect more.
