The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 704 Not Worth Mentioning



Daniel wore a look of disdain.

What was The Perkins to him, after all? Just the firstling family of the USA?

If he, Daniel, wished it, he could wipe The Perkins off the map at any moment. After all, he was the Son of the Seven Dragons, destined to become The Lord of the Seven Dragons, ruler over the nine realms. To him, The Lord of the Seven Dragons, The Perkins was nothing but an insignificant ant, not worth mentioning.

"Stop the nonsense; the chicken is ready to eat."
