The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 407 IQ

Soldier saw an opportunity to salvage his pride after failing to best Daniel in a fight. He was convinced that with his military intelligence, he could easily outsmart this country kid—who likely had little wit. A true man's worth wasn't proved by force but by intellect, and Soldier was set on crushing Daniel's dignity under his intellectual might.

Daniel didn't rush to accept the challenge but clarified with Soldier first: "Are you sure you want to make this bet?"

"Absolutely!"

"Well, if you're keen on betting against me, we'll need a witness." Daniel gestured towards Beauty, "Let's have Beauty ensure that our bet is fair and square. I trust her character—she won't allow any cheating."

"Agreed!" Soldier consented, and Beauty, arms crossed as she watched the unfolding drama, nodded with a smile.

"Alright! I'll be the witness for your bet. Whoever loses must kneel and call the winner 'grandpa.' And if anyone tries to weasel out of it, not only are they no man, but I'll also punish them to uphold my authority as a witness!"

Beauty was entertained regardless of the outcome; she'd get to witness a good show no matter who had to kneel.

Confident after Beauty’s firm decision, Soldier immediately laid out his terms.

"Country kid, the way you just had this hen walk two steps doesn't prove anything. To show us this hen really listens to you, you need to make it do something more complex."

"More complex? Name it," Daniel smirked, then commanded the hen, "You—peck his butt!"

At his command, the hen immediately flapped its wings, flew right up, and landed squarely on Soldier's hindquarters.
