The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 612

Cane Gold was speechless after Daniel's brazen response, and after a moment of silence, they arrived at the first challenge: the Mountain of Blades. Daniel sized up what was in front of him; it was simply a fake mountain made of rocks, barely thirty meters tall—about the height of a ten-story building. Though it seemed steep, Daniel deemed it a mild climb and certainly not too difficult.

After examining the fake mountain, Daniel couldn’t help but scoff, "This is the Mountain of Blades?"

"Do you see the green hat on top of the mountain? You need to retrieve it, put it on your head, and if you come back down safely, you pass the challenge," said Cane Gold.

Daniel glanced at the green hat, which had the word 'cuckold' inscribed in small letters.

"What's this? I'm supposed to wear a cuckold's cap for the Blade Mountain challenge? No way! Only a certain kind of man likes wearing green hats, and I'm not one of them."

"You’re not going to wear the green hat?" Cane Gold inquired.

"Absolutely not!"

"Are you sure you won’t wear it?"

"Positive!"

Daniel's answers were firm and decisive.

"Since you refuse the green hat, then wear the red one."
