The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 199

"Just a basin of liquor? Since I agreed to the wager, I'll honor it," Daniel said, deciding not to waste any more words. He lifted the second basin, tilted his head back, and drained the stainless steel basin of its contents without leaving a drop behind. Downing the second basin of vodka, Daniel's expression didn't change, and his body stood unfazed.

His state of sobriety was astonishing to William. No stranger to drinking, William had spent many years building his tolerance and had never encountered someone who matched his abilities. Even a single bottle was enough to inebriate most people, and before Daniel, the toughest person William had faced passed out after five or six bottles.

Seeing that William seemed shaken by Daniel's performance, Brittany quickly stepped in to remind him, "William, you surely aren’t finished yet, are you? If you lose, remember you'll have to wear that dress and bark like a dog on the floor! You're a man, can you endure such humiliation? If I were you, even if it caused my stomach to bleed, I'd still drink that country nobody under the table! Remember, you're the best drinker in The Matthews Organization, the God of Wine! If you can't outdrink this country nobody, then Daniel's going to snatch your title!"

Brittany knew how to manipulate people, keenly aware that William's title as the God of Wine was his greatest pride. His biggest fear was losing it.

Unable to accept defeat, William suddenly came up with a plan. Grabbing the large bottle of vodka, he filled four basins, placing two in front of Daniel. "Daniel, let's not drink one basin at a time anymore. Let's go for two basins at once. I drank first before, so it's your turn. You finish these two, then I'll take my turn!"

Anyone with half a brain knew what William was trying to do, Brittany included. But she wasn’t interested in William humiliating himself; she was focused on Daniel looking foolish. So, she quickly concurred, "William’s suggestion is fair and just. Let's do it! Country nobody, you drink those two basins first, then William will go!"
