The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 641

"What's going on here?" Cane Gold asked Daniel, though he dared not ask anyone else.

"Perfect timing, Cane. I bet against Smart on behalf of Beauty. Smart lost but can't accept it. Not only that, he had the nerve to send this guy to tase me. Turns out, the fellow couldn’t handle his own taser, and I had to use it on him instead.”

Daniel's claim to represent Beauty made Cane pause slightly.

After a brief hesitation, Cane turned to Beauty and asked, "Is what this guy is saying true? Was he representing you in a bet against Smart?"

"Yes! He's my assistant, so of course he represented me. Now that Smart has lost, Cane, as the head butler of Purple Gold, shouldn’t you step in and ensure fairness? Shouldn’t Smart be on the ground, licking up the spill like a dog?"

Beauty’s logic was simple - it would be more interesting to have Smart on the floor than Daniel. After all, Daniel was just a nobody while Smart was an heir to the Evans family. The difference in status meant they'd bring very different reactions to the same action!

Old fox Cane sensed something off with Beauty's remark. This was a messy situation he didn't want to be part of, so he quickly refused with a smile plastered on his face.

"Well, Beauty, since he represented you against Smart, that's a personal bet between you two, which has nothing to do with Purple Gold. So, sort it out amongst yourselves – it's not my place to get involved."

After saying his piece, Cane turned to Theodore with a stern expression, "You, blind fool, what gives you the right to get involved in a bet between Beauty and Smart? Who said you could interfere? Back off now and stop embarrassing me here!"

"Yes, Mr. Cane!" Theodore retreated.

Seeing he wouldn't gain any advantage, Smart turned to leave. But Daniel wasn’t about to let him off that easily and quickly stepped in his way.
