Chapter 147 A Magic Trick Jessica's words stunned Brittany, who looked at her incredulously and asked, " Jessica, do you really believe this country boy can win? How could he possibly win? Henry was brought here by Andrew; he would never spend twenty million on the Blood Jade. He himself said it's not worth that much!" "Daniel is my assistant. If I don't believe in him, who should I believe?" replied Jessica.

Brittany rolled her eyes in frustration at Jessica's response, though she didn't dare lash out since she was talking to her boss. Instead, she softly suggested, “Jessica, this bet the country boy made with Andrew, he's sure to lose! A hundred percent! And if he loses, how will he repay you those twenty million? No, you also want interest, so that's thirty million. Plus the fifteen million he already owes you, that's forty-five million in total. Even if you sold him, he wouldn't fetch that much, right?" "He won't lose." "And what if he does? If he loses and can't repay you, what will you do?" "If he loses, then he'll work for The Matthews Organization for the rest of his life!” "Dear Jessica, that's forty-five million! He'll never earn that much in his lifetime, you know that!" "If that's the case, I'll have him work forin the next life too!" Rendered speechless, Brittany could only turn to Daniel. "Country boy, you boasted about selling that Blood Jade to Henry for twenty million, right? The stage is yours, start your show." All eyes were fixed on Daniel, waiting to see the country boy's embarrassment.

Henry, for his part, regarded Daniel with amusement, curious to see how he would persuade him to part with twenty million for the Blood Jade. Regardless of what Daniel might say, Henry was sure he'd refuse.

Then, Daniel took half of the Blood Jade and struck one piece against the other as if they were flintstones.

Chapter 147 A Magic Trick 2/2 Thump! Thump! After two strikes, sparks emerged from the Blood Jade, then both pieces burst into flame. Tiny but vivid crimson flames flickered from the Jade pieces.

Strangely enough, the pieces were still in Daniel's hands. His hands seemed to be engulfed by the blazing crimson flames, but there was no sign of any burns.

Everyone was stunned. What was Daniel doing? Brittany was the first to react, with a cold chuckle. "Heh!"

Assuming an air of having seen through the ruse, she mocked Daniel. "Country boy, are you performing a magic trick? Did you put something on the Blood Jade, so that when you knock them together, they ignite? You don't seriously think such a crude magic trick could convince Henry to buy your Blood Jade for twenty million, do you?

Henry already said this Blood Jade is worth at most five million. Now, I'd guess it's been destroyed by the fire.

Forget five million; I don't think this Jade is even worth ive hundred bucks now.

So, stop wasting everyone's time, pay the twenty million, to Andrew, and admit. lefeat!"
