The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 400 Beauty's Plan

Seeing that he and his men were no match for this country boy on their own, Soldier gestured angrily to his team, "Brothers, get him! Take down this country bumpkin!"

As the group lunged at Daniel, Beauty quickly intervened, "Even though this country boy is detestable, he's still my cousin's assistant. When you strike, make sure you don't go too far and kill him."
