The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 513

Manly was furious! If she didn't strip this country boy of everything he had and instead lost to him, it would spell unimaginable humiliation. After all, no one had ever bested her in gambling—she was Manly, the protege of The Divine Star himself!

The Divine Star had passed down seven gambling arts to seven disciples, each inheriting a unique art. Manly's specialty was gambling.

"Manly, you're so wicked, wanting to win my underwear! But I am a man of integrity; not just any woman has the privilege of winning my drawers!" Danny quipped, which only served to darken Manly's already stern countenance.

"Country boy, less talk, more action! If you’re man enough, we can start the game now!" Manly was raring to go.

"Manly, I’m always game!" Danny gestured towards the cage and said cheekily, "Please, after you! I won't leave until I've made you cry tonight, putting my Perkins name to shame if I don't."

At the mention of the Perkins surname, Manly’s perfectly arched eyebrows twitched slightly. "You're a Perkins?" she inquired.

"That's right, I'm a Perkins!"

"What’s your full name?" Manly asked, a tinge of seriousness in her voice.

"I’m Daniel," he replied.

"Daniel...?" she repeated, pondering the name silently. As far as she was aware, among the grandsons of Washington's premier family, The Perkins, none were named Daniel. This suggested the country boy must have only coincidentally shared a last name with The Perkins and was not actually a member of the esteemed family. After all, if he were truly a member of The Perkins, how could he possibly come to gamble with just a hundred dollars?
