The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 570

Daniel’s commentary struck at Wyatt’s pride, an utter affront to him as a man. Wyatt glared at Daniel, fury etched into his features, and demanded, “What do you mean, country boy? What did you mean by what you just said?”

Daniel’s response was nonchalant, “I meant exactly what I said, nothing more.”

Enraged beyond measure, Wyatt pointed accusingly at Daniel, “Are you saying I’m not up to snuff?”

Wyatt's outburst prompted Daniel to meet his anger with a tranquil demeanour, “There’s no need for such a big reaction, Wyatt. Whether you’re capable or not isn't something someone else can state—it’s proven by action. If you’re really capable, Maya’s face will tell us.”

Wyatt was livid, and in an attempt to prove himself, he turned to Maya and bluntly inquired, “Am I incapable?”

Maya caught on to the situation and played along with an air of coquettishness, “Oh, you were magnificent, Wyatt! You were my first; how could you not be? Since I gave myself to you entirely, you should cherish me properly. For instance, by giving me ten or eight billion directly?”

Maya was without shame: all she was interested in was the money.

Wyatt seethed with anger at her response, “Are you blackmailing me, Maya?”
