The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 450

Being called coward by a young woman was not something Daniel would admit to, and he immediately retorted, "Who says I'm scared? Isn't his grandfather turning ninety next month? I’ll just go to the Evans' birthday celebration and make Smart kneel and call me grandpa in front of everyone at The Evans. That will have much more impact!"

Madison, only half-believing him, responded dryly, "Braggart!"

"Braggart? How could such a humble man like me brag?"

Madison let out a cold laugh, "Stop it, you're definitely not humble!"

"How do you know that?"

"I just do."

"Then why don't you run away when you see me?"

"You... I... I'll beat you, you're such an indecent man!"

Madison playfully punched Daniel as if her small fists were raindrops showering upon him.

In another scene, as soon as Smart left Fortune Antique, he received a phone call.

"Smart, Kojima, the world's ninth-ranked assassin and Japan's number one, is now in New York waiting for your orders."

"Good! Tell him to take out that country boy immediately! And, that country boy has a Piet Mondrian painting with him; make sure Kojima retrieves it for me."

"Yes, Smart!"

The Mercedes AMG was moving leisurely down the road when suddenly a Harley Davidson motorcycle appeared behind it, roaring loudly. Daniel, driving, took one glance in the rearview mirror and realized something was off about the motorcycle.
