The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 820 Responsibility



"If you haven't encountered any ghosts, you must be lucky." Perry offered as his explanation. Then, he quickly added, "But Chloe, you have to trust Daniel! Daniel is a remarkable person; he's a fortune teller! If he says there's an evil spirit in those abandoned buildings, then there definitely is one! If he says those wild boars are possessed, then they are possessed!"

"Dad, shut up! No more of this nonsense!" Chloe rebuked Perry before turning to Daniel. "You little brat, you shut up too! If you continue to spout nonsense and unsettle my team, I'll cuff you right now!"

"Alright, I'll keep quiet. But I have a suggestion. Since Jax here is so confident that there are no bombs and only people inside, why not let him go in alone first? Let's see if he gets blown up. After all, the bombs are hidden so well that anyone stepping into those buildings would trigger them," Daniel suggested. This made Jax panic immediately.

"You little brat! Stop trying to scheme against me! When did I ever say there were no bombs inside? What if you're right and there are bombs? I only said there are people, not wild boars in there. Maybe those people are the hostages we need to rescue!" Jax retorted, showing his quick thinking and also his fear of dying. In dangerous situations, Jax never rushed in first. Even if he had to, he would make sure he was the last to go, taking risks only when there were no other options. That was his survival tactic as an experienced officer.
