The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 273

"Greenfield?" Liam looked puzzled. "What happened there?"

"Just go and see for yourself. You can't rely solely on hearsay; seeing is believing. Of course, if you go with the attitude of a legislator, you might not see things as they truly are."

"Alright! I'll definitely go!" Liam promised. But he didn't say when he would go. Since he planned to investigate quietly, he needed to keep it low-key. If he announced when he'll be going, those responsible for any wrongdoing might prepare ahead of time and make his investigation futile.

With Liam in good health again, Daniel got back on the road. Greenfield was just over ten miles away, but since the roads were mostly through the mountains and often poorly maintained, it could easily take an hour to drive those ten miles.

"What happened in your town?" Daniel asked Brittany curiously.

"Just take a look when you get there, okay? You country folk couldn't fix it even if you tried. It's out of your hands anyway; it's something for Liam to address since he's the legislator!"

As they talked, Brittany suddenly remembered something and stared directly at Daniel. "Is Abigail pretty?"

"Prettier than you," Daniel replied without missing a beat.

His answer sent Brittany into a fury. "Prettier than me? You country bumpkin, have you taken a shine to her or what? Before you entertain any such thoughts, you'd better take a long look in the mirror and see if you're even in her league."
