The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 414

"Are you questioning me? My fairness, or that I got it wrong?" Beauty asked, her voice cool.

"Lady, I wouldn't dare!"

"Then if you wouldn't dare, kneel down! Call him 'grandpa'!" Beauty demanded fiercely, and Soldier, frightened, knelt down in front of Daniel in an instant.

Although Soldier was on his knees, his heart seethed with indignation, and he grudgingly muttered, "Grandpa," almost crushing his molars.

He was the King of Soldiers, a figure revered on the battlefield, and now he faced such a humiliating defeat before this country kid? Intolerable!

"I don't have such a foolish grandson who can't even outsmart a hen," Daniel scoffed, then added, "Get up."

After the drama had concluded and Daniel looked up at the sky stained blood-red by the setting sun. "The sun is going down. The big cat should be coming out soon. Let’s head into the forest. These creatures love dense woodlands."

Daniel turned to Soldier, "Lead the way, grandson."

"Country kid, watch your tone! I'm not your grandson! If you keep this up, be careful, or I'll hit you!"

"Oh? You still want to fight? Didn't you have enough earlier? Or, do you want to get beaten up again?"

Remembering the recent beating he'd received, Soldier instantly felt frightened but didn't let it affect his feigned bravado. "Country kid, don't think you can go around hitting people just because you're strong. That's crude, and it's low! If you’re so capable, then go fight that Tiger King! If you manage to tame it, I won't just call you 'grandpa,' I'll even bow to you! But if you can’t, and you don't defeat it, you'll kneel and call me 'grandpa!'"

He was determined to reclaim the respect he'd lost today, tonight!

"Soldier, I thought you were just silly, but you really are a special kind of stupid, aren't you? You think I can't defeat the Tiger King? Haven't I said it's nothing but a big kitty cat to me? I tell it to roll over, and it rolls over! Tell it to lie down, and it won't dare stand up! So, get ready to call me 'grandpa' later and prepare to bow!"

While Daniel showed confidence in his abilities, Beauty well understood the ferocity of the Tiger King and was convinced that Daniel was bragging aimlessly again. She couldn't help but smile mockingly, "Country boy, you haven’t even seen the Tiger King, and here you are, betting with Soldier again. He's definitely going to win this time. When you lose, you'll have to kneel and call him 'grandpa.'"

Seeing Beauty's schadenfreude expression, Daniel cheekily proposed, "Beauty, do you want to place a bet with me too?"

"What's the bet?"

"If I can make the Tiger King as obedient as a big kitty cat, you give me a kiss."

"Country kid, you lewd rogue, keep dreaming!" Beauty scolded, then with a stern face, added, "And what if you don't manage it?"
