The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 198

Left with no choice by William's demeanor, Daniel responded, "Since you've decided, William, let's play along! But just for the record, since you’ve set this wager, you'll have to honor it in the end—no cheating!"

"Whoever cheats resigns voluntarily!" William declared, concluding his statement.

Brittany immediately stood out and endorsed the idea, "Good! William, I like your initiative, I approve. I'll be the judge here! Whoever tries to wriggle out of this after losing, resigns!"

Eager to make a contribution in front of Brittany and to get Daniel drunk as quickly as possible, William grabbed the second basin of vodka, "I'll start then!"

He tilted his head back and rapidly drained all the vodka from the basin. After downing the second basin, William swayed slightly, and his head began to feel woozy. Ten bottles were usually his limit, enough to make him pass out under normal circumstances.

"Good for you, William! Ten bottles of vodka down, and you’re still standing—you’re a real man!”
