The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 604

Even though Head had already said his sorries, his cronies had yet to apologize.

So, Daniel grabbed a handful of peanuts and with a flick of his wrist, sent them flying.

Pitter-patter...

Fair-minded Daniel showed no favoritism. He made sure to distribute his peanut projectiles evenly amongst Head's minions—one nut for each of them, no partiality at all.

Smack, smack, smack!

The faces of these guys each received a peanut smack. Of course, their faces were no different from Mr. Head's—none of them could take a hit.

After just a single peanut, their faces started swelling up.

And it wasn't just their puffy cheeks; teeth were sent flying too. There was a clattering sound as teeth scattered across the ground.

Having taught the cronies a small lesson, Daniel cheerily reminded them, "Your boss, Mr. Head, has already bowed and said sorry. How can you be so dense? Hurry up and apologize like he did!"

After their boss was humbled, none of the cronies dared resist.

Not wanting to endure more pain, they hurriedly knelt down and started apologizing.

"Piper, we're so sorry!"

"Piper, we messed up!"

"Piper, we won't do it again!"

...

Seeing that they all had apologized, Daniel grabbed another handful of peanuts to 'reward' them.

"Lady, we promise, next time we pass by your store, we'll go around!"

"Lady, it's not our fault! Blame Head; he's the one who ordered us here. We never got a cut from the extortion money at your place, at best we just got to drink a bit."

"Yeah, that's right! Following Head, we never got a dime, just beatings. Even if we did get any cash, it always ended up being hogged by Head himself!"

...

The cronies began pouring out their woes.

What they were saying was true, after all. Being underlings to a guy like Head, how could they ever gain any real benefits?

All they ever got was a share of the beatings.
