The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 264

"You..." Brittany was so furious she wanted to tear this insubordinate man to shreds. But she held back her anger, dug out a hundred-dollar bill from her wallet, slapped it into Daniel's hand, and ordered him, "Get going!"

"Thank you, Britty," Daniel said, pocketing the cash.

"What did you call me?"

"Britty, right?"

"Only my dad calls me that. You can’t!"

"You can call me 'Daddy' if you want. Doesn't bother me."

"You… I'll kick you to death!"

Annoyed, Brittany delivered a kick to Daniel's backside, which he didn't manage to dodge this time.

...

Brittany's family home was located in River County. Although part of New York City, River County was more than three hundred kilometers from central New York, and the highways were often congested. When they finally arrived in the town, dusk was approaching.

Daniel was driving alone in the cabin, while Brittany, full from snacks, was fast asleep in the passenger seat. Suddenly, a Tesla in front of them swerved abruptly, veering into a ditch on the side of the road. The car’s front end was severely damaged, and the airbags had deployed with a pop.

Seeing this, Daniel quickly stopped the Ranger Raptor by the roadside, causing the well-positioned seatbelt to dig into Brittany’s chest abruptly, which was anything but pleasant.

"What are you doing? You're hurting me!" Brittany punched Daniel, annoyed by the sudden stop.

"A car accident."
