The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 703

Carrying a grudge, Smart started to work on the cabin.

"Easton, are you dumb? What's with the way you're placing those logs?" Smart scolded.

"Easton, is your head screwed on right? How can you be so slow?"

"Easton, you lazy bum, what are you doing over there?"

...

Without any recourse against Daniel, Smart took out all his anger on Easton, venting his whole bellyful of fury onto him.

As for Easton, facing his boss, he naturally didn’t dare object!

Smart didn’t want to work, so he commanded Easton to work, exhausting him to the point of sweating bullets while he himself sat on a log nearby, legs crossed, taking it easy.

Although Daniel was busy flirting with the two beauties, he still kept an eye on Smart’s work. The cabin had to be completed before nightfall. With Smart slacking off and leaving all the work to Easton, they were never going to finish in time.

"Genius, I asked you to build the cabin, what are you sitting around for? Get moving and work!" Daniel called out.

"I am working!" Smart quickly justified himself. "I'm supervising, keeping an eye on Easton. Plus, I'm the foreman of this whole cabin project. I need to direct Easton! If I don't, he won't know what to do or where to start."

"You, Snake, keep an eye on him. If Genius here dares to slack off again, give him a whack with your big tail!"

At Daniel’s command, the python slid from the tree straight to Smart's side. The moment the giant python appeared, Smart dared not slack off and started to work with all his might.

Meanwhile, Beauty gave Daniel a playful punch. "Country boy, just keep picking on Smart! Just remember, he's an heir of The Evans, and he'll remember all the bullying once we leave Purple Gold Hill. As soon as he's out, he'll be out for revenge!"

"An heir of The Evans? What’s that? I'm not afraid of him! Besides, I'm the heir of The Perkins," Daniel said with a chuckle.

"Bullshit!" Beauty didn’t believe a word he said. Rolling her eyes disdainfully, she replied, "You think just because your last name is Perkins, you're an heir of The Perkins? Let me tell you, even though you also bear the name Perkins, it's not the same as The Perkins!"

"We're all Perkins, how come it's not the same?" asked Daniel.

"The Perkins from Washington DC, they’re unparalleled, representing power and prestige. Your Perkins – that's the country bumkin’s Perkins. And let me warn you, stop saying you're an heir of The Perkins. I might not mind, but if the actual Perkins family heard, they'd assume you were impersonating a member of their family. They’d think you were posing as an heir to swindle people! If it came to that, The Perkins would be furious. Messing with them could cost you your life!"

"What are you talking about? Me, impersonating an heir of The Perkins? In others' eyes, The Perkins might be powerful, but in my eyes, The Perkins is nothing but a fart!"
