The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 423

Soldier had no choice but to obey Beauty's command. With clenched teeth, he knelt down. Daniel, hands in his pockets, looked down at Soldier with a smug grin.

"Big guy, your grandpa is ready. Though I won't really acknowledge you as my grandson, you better start bowing down!"

Feeling humiliated yet again, Soldier's fists balled in fury, and he roared, "Country bumpkin, don't push me too far!"

"Pushing too far? Have I really bullied you? I don’t think so! I'm just asking you to honor our bet. After all, it wasn't me who insisted on betting; you were the one eager to take on the challenge. So really, you brought this on yourself. No blaming me!"

"You..." Soldier wanted to rise, his anger about to boil over, but Beauty shot him a fierce look.

"Honor your bets and don't embarrass yourself!"

Those words came like a thunderbolt, stunning Soldier. Had he served Beauty for so long only for her to reprimand him because of some country boy? Had he lost her trust?

No matter how bold he was, Soldier dared not defy Beauty. Gritting his teeth, he performed a kowtow and grudgingly called out "Grandpa!" to Daniel.

"You might be calling me 'grandpa,' but I'm not accepting you as my grandson. That said, if you want to bet with me again and call me 'grandpa,' I won't stop you. A few free calls of 'grandpa' from you certainly won't cost me anything."

"Country boy, you better stop gloating! I'll settle the score with you one of these days! One day, I'll make you kneel before me, make you bow a hundred times, and call me 'grandpa' a hundred times!"

"That day will never come! Every time you provoke me, you’ll face another loss. Feel free to provoke me anytime if you're up for losing again!"
