The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 404

Soldier panicked at Beauty's words. “Lady, this country kid is just bluffing. He's never even seen the Tiger King. The moment he hears it roar, he'll wet his pants, let alone facing it!"

"A roar will make me wet my pants? Listen big guy, did that happened to you? Is that why you seem so familiar with the sensation?" Daniel's retort turned Soldier's face beet red with embarrassment. He'd hit the nail right on the head—Soldier had indeed been scared to the point of an accident by the Tiger King.

"You're the one who'll wet your pants! How could I be scared of it? If I catch that Tiger King, a couple of slaps will have it howling."

Although Soldier was fearful and hesitant, he didn't want to show it.

"You’re so brave, Soldier? You can make that big cat howl? Alright, when we head to the hills, make sure to give it those slaps. Teach it a good lesson!" Daniel challenged, eager to see just how Soldier would handle the frightful encounter with the Tiger King.

Soldier would never dare to actually slap the Tiger King; he couldn't even look the beast in the eye. But he believed Daniel wouldn't be able to find it anyway. Although hesitant to venture into the hills himself, Soldier had dispatched drones to survey the area. The drones had flown far and wide without spotting any sign of the Tiger King.

Soldier suspected the Tiger King had run off somewhere, possibly even returning to the Spirit Realm, comforting himself with that thought.

"As long as you can find the Tiger King," Soldier declared with false bravado, "I’ll give it a good slap and tame it until it howls!"

"Good! Get me a chicken, and it better be a hen!"
