The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 397

Soldier instantly felt a sense of dread at the sight of Daniel, an unfamiliar face. What was Beauty's intention in bringing this unsophisticated country bumpkin here? Could he possibly be here to take Soldier's place? The thought sparked resentment in Soldier's heart.

He glared at Daniel with hostility and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm the guy Beauty hired to clean up your mess. Where’s that Tiger King? Take me to it, and I’ll help you deal with the situation. It's just a little cat, isn't it? All you big equipped men can't handle it? I wonder if that big cat scared you out of your wits or what."

Daniel's comment was merely a light-hearted joke, with no intention to offend. However, Soldier felt insulted and demeaned with an acute sense of indignation.

"You, country bumpkin, are as thin as a monkey and clearly weak. You wouldn't last even a bite from that Tiger King. If you get anywhere near it and it so much as growls at you, I bet you'd wet your pants!"

"I’m weak? Does that mean you're strong?"

"Country bumpkin, since you've come all this way, let's shake hands," Soldier offered, extending his hand, planning to give Daniel a rough lesson.

"Sure, big guy!"
