The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 500 Persistence

"No way — I'm a man of integrity!" Daniel thought to himself. All these years, his parents hadn't come looking for him, nor had The Perkins, so why would a simple instruction from a butler make him want to return to his family? What a joke!

Just as he was contemplating this, Daniel's phone buzzed with an incoming call. Fishing the phone out of his pocket, he found it somewhat surprising to see Beauty’s name on the display. This woman only calls when there's trouble brewing.

After a quick thought, Daniel promptly hung up the call. However, Beauty immediately called back. After hanging up three consecutive times, her persistent dialing was evident. Resigned, on the fourth call, Daniel answered the phone.

"Hello?"

A lazy "hello" from Daniel was immediately met with a sharp shout from the other side.

"What in the world are you doing?" demanded Beauty.

"Do I have to report my activities to you? After all, you’re not her."

"What did you just say? Say that again."

"I don’t have to report my activities to you."

"Not that part."

"Then what part?"

"Tell me what part."

"That’s all there is. There's nothing else."

Daniel became fearful; he didn't dare to speak further, knowing full well that Beauty was not someone to take his casual words lightly.

"Where are you?"

"I am... uh... I'm..."
