The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 374

"Oh boy! Black Tiger, your aim's off! Weren't you trying to hit me? How come you smashed the wine bottle instead? That wine didn’t look cheap—guess you’re buying it now!" Daniel teased with a laugh.

Screaming in anguish, Black Tiger glared at Daniel with wild, furious eyes. "Country boy, I’m gonna kill you! I swear, I'm gonna kill you!"

With his uninjured left hand, Black Tiger swiftly drew a dagger, barely ten centimeters long but razor-sharp, designed to slash through metal, and with a vicious hook at the tip. Blinded by rage, he made no pretense of politeness as he thrust the dagger toward Daniel's chest, intending to drive it straight through his heart.

Faced with the fierce attack, Daniel merely smiled faintly. He extended just two fingers. That's right—only two, not even a third was necessary.

As Black Tiger’s blade shimmered menacingly, just about to pierce Daniel’s chest, those two fingers clamped down on the dagger like iron tongs.

Crack!

The blade was caught firmly in his grip. Black Tiger pushed harder, desperate to drive the dagger into Daniel's chest, but the blade would budge no further.

Unable to thrust forward, Black Tiger then tried to pull back. He wanted to withdraw the dagger for a second strike, but even with all his might, the blade wouldn't move an inch.

"Trying to stab me in the heart with that little toothpick?" Daniel asked cheerily. "You think you can kill me with a single stab?"

"I’ll stab you dead!" Black Tiger grunted through clenched teeth.

"Well, you got the spot right; a stab there could indeed be lethal. But your knife, it’s just too soft, not nearly hard enough."
