The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 707

True to form as The Perkins' heir, Down spoke with such authority it was as if he believed everyone in the world should obey him.

Daniel, of course, had no inclination to comply with Down. He picked a chicken wing, popped it in his mouth, and took a succulent bite. His defiant gesture infuriated Down.

Down could hardly contain his anger. How could a mere country boy dare to disregard his command? This lack of respect for him was also a direct insult to The Perkins family!

He bellowed, "Country bumpkin, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"You were talking just now? I thought you were just blowing hot air!"

Daniel’s retort made Down so furious he looked about ready to breathe fire.

"Country boy, you dare say I'm spouting nonsense?"

"Yep! Isn't that what you're doing? You're not just spouting nonsense; it's coming right out of your mouth! The mouth is supposed to be for eating, but you're using it to spout nonsense! You're polluting the fresh air with your foul words!"

"You have no idea whom you're talking to!"

Done with talking, Down ordered his muscle, Black, "Teach this bumpkin a lesson. Show him how he should speak to me!"

"Yes, sir!"
