The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 201

"Oh, playing Mr. Nice Guy, huh? You country bumpkin, stop faking it here! Others might not see through your ugly mug, but I do," Brittany sneered at Daniel before turning to the others.

"Don't just stand around, toast that country boy! You all should know, he's a real 'good Samaritan' and can hold his liquor! Whoever can drink him under the table gets a promotion and a raise," she announced.

The crowd grabbed their glasses and began a relentless tag-team toast to Daniel. After a grueling half hour, nearly everyone was wiped out, sprawling across the floor in a drunken mess.

Only two remained sober: Daniel and Brittany.

"Brittany, they're all wasted, and you're still sober. If I'm not mistaken, you've been busy having them drink to me all night, without touching a glass yourself. How about we share a drink?" Daniel asked, his tone teasing.

"Drink with you? I'd rather not! You're not in my league!" Brittany was fuming.

Initially, she was convinced that gathering a bunch of seasoned drinkers would do the trick – many against one, and Daniel would've succumbed. But who would've thought all these people would get floored by him alone.

An angry Brittany had no choice but to call their families to collect the boozy bunch. After everyone was taken care of, she flopped onto the couch, exhausted.

Daniel, still with a smug look, asked, "Need a ride home, Brittany? I heard you moved into a newly renovated place. Why not invite me over?"

"You think you can drive?" she retorted.

"Of course!" he declared confidently.
