The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 526

Manly blew her top as soon as she heard Daniel’s rash words.

"Country boy, what did you say? You’ve got some nerve suggesting Master change the rules!"

"What's so audacious about that? If The Divine Star made a rule that's wrong, it's only right to change it! Why should a stunning woman like you waste away at Big Dipper? It’s a crying shame! There are plenty of outstanding men out there, like me—I'm perfect for you."

Daniel's cheeky retort left Manly fuming.

"You? An outstanding man? Please! A country bumpkin like you dares to set his sights on me? You must be delusional if you think you can pass my brother's challenge!"

Finn responded with a hearty laugh.

"So what are you trying to say, kid? That you can drink faster than me? That my drinking speed is no match for yours? Sure, I may look like I have a super-sized jug for a stomach, and yeah, I can sure hold my liquor. But even if I can, I'd still come up just a bit short compared to you. A drinking match against me, you have zero chance of winning—null, zip, nada."

"Confident, aren't you, country boy! Since you're so eager to dash to your demise, let's begin! Even if by sheer luck you finish these eighteen jugs, I doubt you'll manage the remaining eighteen."

Finn lifted a jug and said to Daniel, "Let's get started!"
