The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 313

Jennifer drove her Porsche 718 at breakneck speed, bringing Daniel into a village called Shore County where her manufacturing plant was located. As they approached the entrance of the village, they were stopped by a few hoodlums.

The leader of the gang was Strong Liu, whose father was Beast Liu, the head of Shore County’s criminal underworld. Strong began slapping the car door and shouting aggressively, “Get out of the car!”

Daniel opened the door and stepped out, asking, “What’s the matter?”

“What’s the matter? You tell me! Do you know where you are?” Strong pointed at Daniel’s nose with an arrogant attitude.

Daniel gestured towards a stone tablet by the roadside and said, “Well, doesn’t that sign say ‘Shore County’? Can't you read? If not, let me read it for you: this character is ‘Shore’, and this one is ‘County’. Put them together, it says ‘Shore County’. Now you know where you are, right? Don't mention it, just move aside!”

Strong was momentarily stunned by Daniel's response, and once he snapped out of it, feeling like he’d been mocked, he cursed, “Where did you come from, you country bumpkin, daring to talk to me like that? Did I ever say I can't read? I went to school, legit graduated from middle school! Shore County is my turf, and that stone tablet is put up by my family, how could I not recognize the words?”

“Since you can read, why are you stopping me? So you didn't stop me to have me teach you how to read, huh?”

Pretending to be puzzled, Daniel continued, “So, little hoodlum, if you're not stopping me to learn how to read, then what is it? Are you after money? Or is it her?”
