Chapter 955 The Plan

"Then let's cut it and find out," Daniel said with a grin.

He took a marker and drew a line on the Heliotrope.

When he was done, he told the worker, "Hey, please cut this original stone in half along the line I drew."

“Sir, this cut looks significantly more complicated than the last two. I'll need a five thousand dollar tip to make this cut."

The worker was clearly in it for the cash.

"Sure! Five grand is fine!" Daniel casually shrugged. To him, a few thousand wasn't a big deal, especially since he was planning to win big that night.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Initially, he aimed to win at least eight hundred million, but now he adjusted his goal to a billion. After all, this worker expected to charge money with every cut, but Daniel didn't mind. He knew he'd get back every cent tenfold from Grant.

"Five grand? What a naïve country boy!" the worker thought.

For now, Daniel just watched, curious to see what would unfold from this guy's sudden twist.

"Sir, the blade broke," the worker said, still acting innocent.

"Yes, I can see that. Just get a new e blade! You're the professional here, right? This isn't the first time a blade has broken while dealing with original stone, is it?"

"Of course it broke. But we have a rule: if an original stone breaks a blade while cutting, that stone is cursed. And I can't continue to cut such a cursed stone without consequences."

The worker paused, gauging Daniel's reaction to decide his next move.

“Uh, so what are you saying?” Daniel asked.

"Sir, if you want me to keep cutting, you need to be responsible for whatever bad luck comes from cutting this cursed stone."

The worker unambiguously placed the burden of "bad luck" squarely on Daniel's shoulders.
