The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 821 Betting with Jax



"You little brat, what do you mean by that? Dozens of bombs inside, one triggering the rest? Are you trying to scare us? Even the best bomb squad couldn't defuse that many bombs!" she exclaimed.

Hearing Daniel's words, Chloe became anxious immediately.

"You're right if you're talking about traditional bomb defusal methods. But there's a simpler way. We could just set off one bomb, and let the chain reaction blow up all the bombs. Problem solved, right?" Daniel suggested casually.

Jax quickly stepped in to stop him. "No way! What if there are hostages inside? They'd be killed instantly!"

Jax had a point, and Chloe nodded in agreement. "Jax is right!"

"If you were using your brain, you wouldn't agree with Jax. Think about it-what's the purpose of having hostages? Hostages are meant to lure you in. If they're killed in the explosion and if none of you die, your team will just call for backup. What will the robbers do then? Without hostages, they have no leverage. They'd be as good as dead. Without hostages, how could they keep pulling your team into their traps?" Daniel explained logically.

"Chloe, you're really not using your brain here," Daniel said, exasperated.

That comment infuriated Chloe, and she pointed her finger at Daniel, demanding. "What do you mean by that? How dare you say I'm not using my brain?"

Chloe was not stubborn; she could accept reasonable opinions. And Daniel's explanation made sense to her.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alright, you little brat, let's move to the next topic. How do we set off the bombs in these abandoned buildings?" Chloe asked.

"That's easy. Just pick up a rock and

throw it inside. As long as the person throwing the rock aims correctly or gets lucky, they can easily set off the buried bombs. One explosion will trigger the rest due to the chain reaction," Daniel said confidently.

Jax couldn't suppress a sarcastic laugh, "Haha!"

Pret

After laughing, he mockingly replied, "You idiot! Did you just say you could set off the bombs by throwing a rock? I'll give you three chances. you throw three rocks and fail to set off any bombs, you have to slap yourself and loudly admit you're a liar."

"I don't need three chances. I only need one rock to set off those bombs. But Jax, are you betting with me? If I win, you'll have to slap yourself and proclaim loudly that you're an idiot, a loser! You'll have to really shout it out!" Daniel declared, refishing the opportunity to bet. He had never lost a bet and always emerged victorious, no matter the opponent.

"Deal!" Jax agreed without hesitation.
