Chapter 954 You’ve Lost



When he finished, he was crushed to discover it was still spotless-not a trace of red in sight.

"Daniel, what's going on? Your Heliotrope-I thought you colored it?"

“Well, how does it look now?" Daniel grinned. "Going to stick to your belief that the blood-red color is from dye?"

"Of course! It still makes sense you dyed it!"

"If I dyed it, Grant, after your hard touch, your fingers would have to show some remnants of the color. But look at your fingers-perfectly clean!" "Don't think you can pull one over on me. You must have used a top-quality dye, making it stick well, and that's why nothing came off!"

"Exactly!" Aaron nodded, adding,

"The surface is indeed this color, and yes, it's rare But it's only a thin layer on the surface. While it might look amazing, it doesn't make it worth two million. If I had to assess, I'd say it's worth about five hundred thousand. That's significantly short of two million. So, country boy, your bet is still a loss."

"Wait, so you're saying this Heliotrope is only worth five hundred grand?"

Aaron nodded. "Yes."

"What if I cut it open? If the inside has this color too, what's it worth?"

"Even if

Aaron had no intention of lying, wanting to give an honest assessment based on observation.
