The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 415 Shamelessness

"If I fail to do it, you can handle me however you want. Whatever you ask, I'll do," Daniel nonchalantly replied.

"Done! I’ll take that bet!" Beauty readily agreed.

She didn't believe Daniel could win. What truly mattered was that if she won this time, she could demand Daniel divorce Jessica and leave her forever. Then, Jessica could marry Smart, and Beauty's own plans would flourish—a victory for The Matthews. Pushing Jessica into another marriage meant Beauty could avoid an arranged marriage herself and wouldn't have to sacrifice her happiness to someone she didn't adore. If she left The Matthews due to marriage, she'd lose any standing in the family; their prosperity would mean nothing to her. Beauty had no intentions of enduring such a loss, hence her plan to have Jessica take on the obligation, which was the real reason why she had agreed to Avery’s request to convince Jessica to reconsider.

"Beauty, you agreed so quickly. Do you really want to kiss me that much?" Daniel teased.

"Kiss you? In your dreams!" Beauty rolled her eyes. "You country bumpkin will definitely lose! When you meet the Tiger King, you’ll probably freeze in fear, let alone tame it."

Soldier suddenly had a thought and quickly chimed in. "Country kid, this hen was your idea. You said it could lead us to the Tiger King. So if we don't find the Tiger King within an hour, that means you lose, and you’ll have to kneel and call me 'grandpa!'"

In a last-ditch effort to make Daniel lose—and kneel before him—Soldier was tossing aside all pretense of dignity.

Daniel didn't respond directly but turned and smiled at Beauty. "What do you think?"

"Think about what?"

"About what Soldier said. He wants me to find the Tiger King within an hour. If I don’t, I lose?"
