The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 81 Unusual Stones Exhibition 

“In the past, the Unusual Stones Exhibition by Prospera Group only took place in Florida. This time, Chris has chosen New York to expand Prospera Group’s reach. Even with a strong presence in Florida, they need to collaborate with a local enterprise to venture Into New York. The Matthews, being New York’s premier family, can surely achieve mutual success and greater heights if they collaborate with The Evans. Jessica, if you manage to secure cooperation with The Evans, don’t forget about me! After all, Daniel is my mentor, and in a way, I’m associated with TMO too!” Nicholas expressed. 

“Chris’s business is in rare stones, which is indeed very profitable. His Unusual Stones Exhibition is 

basically a gamble, isn’t it? The participants buy stones at the exhibition and then cut them open to see if there are gems inside. I can’t and won’t do that kind of business, so I’m not interested in attending this 

Unusual Stones Exhibition.” 

“Jessica, this new venture of Prospera Group into New York is like a huge cake that many are eyeing, especially The Armstrongs. As soon as they got wind of it, they immediately started making moves. If The Armstrongs manage to snatch the collaboration with Prospera Group, they might become the top family in New York, overtaking us. My conservative estimate is that this cooperation could yield a net profit of at least a hundred billion a year. There’s an old saying in the East: Jade is priceless. If we could get involved in Prospera Group’s jade business, that would be more profitable than any other business. Even if you don’t want to cooperate with Prospera Group, why not go take a look at the Unusual Stones Exhibition? Even though TMO isn’t currently operating in Florida, who’s to say we won’t establish a branch there or invest in the future? They’ve already sent you the invitation, so not attending might seem disrespectful to Chris. If you disregard Prospera Group, and TMO later wants to expand into Florida, Chris would likely reciprocate the sentiment.” 

“Fine, I’ll attend!” Jessica accepted the invitation. 

On the other side, Daniel was getting bored after playing games in the office for a while. He needed high- quality jade to store the medicines he formulated since the quality of the jade artifacts available on the market didn’t meet his standards. He decided to visit the jade stone market to look for a quality piece to 

craft a vessel for storing pills. 

Just as Daniel stepped out of the office, Brittany approached him. “What are you still doing here?” she 

asked. 

“I’m on my way out,” replied Daniel, seemingly igniting a spark of excitement in Brittany. 

“You’ve been fired by Jessica?” she surmised with palpable glee. 

“No, I was just bored staying in the office, and Jessica didn’t have any tasks for me. Plus, I don’t have to worry about attendance. So, I thought I’d go out for a stroll!” 

You… 

Frustrated, Brittany stomped her foot hard on the tiled floor–Thump! Due to the janitor’s recent mopping. the tiles were a bit slippery, causing Brittany to lose footing and fall to the floor. 

“Ah!” Brittany cried out in pain. She had twisted her ankle, the hurt bringing tears to her eyes.

Daniel hurried to help her up, guiding her to the nearby break room and got her settled on a sofa. Then, he crouched down beside her.
