The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 350 Payback

"You... I... Pfft..." Aiden was so exasperated that she burst into laughter. "Just because I have money, you hike up the price?"

"Exactly! I’m just following your business model! Charge more to those who have more and less to those who have less."

"You... you scoundrel! How could you do this to me?"

"But Aiden, it was you who did it to me first! At most, I’m just paying you back in your own coin!"

"Payback? I don't want it!"

"You sure you don't want it?"

"Yes! I'm certain! A chance to turn one million into 1.5 billion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a guaranteed 150-fold profit. You sure you want to let that slip by?"

"Yes! I don't want it—ha!" Aiden finished with a scornful chuckle, folding her arms and putting on an air of having seen through Daniel’s scheme. "You’re still green, kid. I might be young, but I’ve been running Herbal Loon for over a decade, and I’ve seen all sorts of scams. You think you can trick me? Don't waste your breath!"

"I'm not trying to deceive you. These ten herbs really are all top-grade, and a few are even treasures. Even with a conservative estimate, they’re worth at least 1.5 billion."

"These ten herbs are junk that belongs in the trash! You telling me they’re worth 1.5 billion? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Aiden, I’m not lying to you; I'm speaking the truth. All it takes is a million from you, and you might just land a 1.5-billion-dollar windfall. If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance, I guarantee you'll be

biting your nails in regret, maybe even crying about it!"

Daniel knew Aiden would never bite, which is precisely why he was baiting her so brazenly—to get a rise out of her. Maybe, just maybe, making a beautiful woman cry a few times would make her fall for him.
