The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 318 Beast Shows Up

"A long story? Well, why don't you give me the short version!" Daniel quipped.

"Years ago, I invested a fortune to buy this factory building and installed brand new production lines. But as soon as I finished setting everything up, a guy named Beast claimed the factory was his and tried to take over my production line."

Just as she spoke, a man with a scruffy beard and a face full of scars, accompanied by a group, approached. He was Beast.

"Jennifer, you’ve been avoiding me for so long, I thought you'd never dare to come back to Shore County. Did you give up on this factory? What brings you here today?" Beast leered at Jennifer from head to toe with greedy eyes.

"Jennifer, it’s been over a year since we last met, right? You've gotten even prettier and more charming!" Beast continued, ogling her.

Feeling his intense stare, Jennifer instinctively hid behind Daniel.

Beast glared at Daniel and barked, "Who's this country bumpkin? Scram, kid, don’t block my view of Jennifer's beauty!"

"Jennifer is pretty, but am I not good-looking too? Why don’t you take a good look at me?" Daniel responded with a chuckle.

"Get lost!" Beast growled, but before he could finish his sentence, Daniel charged towards him.

Smack!

Daniel landed a solid slap on Beast’s fleshy face.

Beast was a big guy, weighing over 200 pounds with a belly larger than a pregnant woman. Surprisingly, Daniel's slap sent him flying into a pine tree, which shook loose a shower of pine cones, all pelting down on him.

A caterpillar also fell, landing squarely in Beast's mouth.
