The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 637

Catherine did not immediately respond; instead, she said calmly, “As a professional mixologist, I shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I need to taste it again, carefully.”

After all, as a professional, top-tier mixologist, Catherine naturally couldn’t just call any cocktail good or bad without due consideration.

She needed to demonstrate her professional skills and provide an expert’s critique. She had to beat the country bumpkin with her knowledge!

Catherine lifted the glass once more and took another small sip. This time, she didn't swallow immediately but instead let the liquid linger in her mouth, swirling it over her tastebuds. She wanted to thoroughly discern what made this cocktail by the country bumpkin so unique.

After this second sip, Catherine was stunned. The country bumpkin's cocktail couldn’t simply be described as tasty.

Magical!

Yes, that was the word—magical. This drink was not of this earth; it belonged to the heavens, a beverage meant for the gods.

She had been mildly hesitant after the first sip, but the second one conquered her completely.

“This cocktail is extraordinary! I’ve lost, utterly and entirely!” Catherine exclaimed. And with that, she dropped to her knees in front of Daniel.

“I wish to be your apprentice, please accept me as your disciple!”

Catherine’s words shocked everyone present. Smart, naturally, was the most shocked.

“Catherine, what are you doing? You are a world-class mixologist! You're actually conceding to a country bumpkin? You're kneeling to him? Do you realize the consequences of such actions? If word of tonight gets out, you’ll no longer have the face to work as a mixologist. You’ll be the industry's biggest joke!”
