The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 455

"What are you laughing at?" Kojima asked.

"Oh, isn't Dumbbell a character, sending an animal to take me down? Do I look like easy prey that one little animal can get the better of me?" Daniel's reply instantly darkened Kojima's face, understanding full well that 'animal' was not meant as a compliment.

Infuriated, Kojima retorted, "Country boy, I am no animal! My name is Kojima! Japan's number one assassin, Kojima!"

"Oh, so Japan's top assassin is an animal, huh? Does that mean there are no humans there, just beasts? Hahaha..." Daniel's mockery sent Kojima into a rage.

"How dare you insult Japan like that? Watch as I punch your mouth to a pulp!"

Kojima, fist raised, lunged straight at Daniel. He even gave a warning, "If you're brave enough, don't dodge! I'll ensure this fist turns your mouth into mush and your face into a pig's head!"

"Alright, I won't dodge!" Daniel accepted the challenge openly.

Whoosh!

As Kojima's iron fist cut through the air towards Daniel, he merely smiled slightly and swung his own fist to meet Kojima's.

Seeing Daniel neither flee nor dodge, but instead, ready to block his fist with his own, Kojima was secretly delighted. His fist was as hard as a diamond—capable of denting a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate.

He was sure that his punch would crush Daniel's fist into a pulp.

She knew Daniel's cry would carry a distinct flavor, a quality that, once heard, made her want to hear it again.

As the white light faded, Kojima's fist was visibly swollen, puffed up like a loaf of bread. Daniel stood with his hands in his pockets, smirking joyfully.

"Hey, animal, how’s that hoof of yours feeling? It seems your punch just now didn't quite work in your favor. How about we go another round? After all, you've only used your right hand. Your left one's still fresh!"

"Country boy, how come your fist is so hard?" Kojima asked, puzzled.

"Not just my fists—other parts are pretty hard too! How about I send a bunch of Japanese beauties over someday to experience it for themselves?" Daniel's brazen taunt added insult to Kojima's injury.
