The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 608

Daniel knew deep down that she wouldn't really do it, but he was scared. What if, in the heat of the moment, she actually cut him? His life would be over.

"I'll go! I'll go with you, okay?" Daniel surrendered.

"Don't worry, I'm taking you to a great place. I'm taking you to a grand banquet."

"A banquet? Somehow, that doesn’t sound like any ordinary dinner party!"

"You're overthinking it. This is the annual gathering of the heirs from the eight most influential families in Washington, D.C. Of course, it’s not just them. Heirs from lesser, second or even third-tier families also join in. The party this time is hosted by Down Perkins at the Purple Gold. The question is, do you, a simple country boy, have the nerve to go? After all, you’re not an heir to any grand family. Attending this high-society gathering might make you feel like a fish out of water, perhaps even embarrassingly out of place.”

"Are you trying to provoke me? My skin is thick enough that your jabs won’t work. I know when you invite me to a banquet, you're up to no good. But since you've invited me, I'll play along. Just a fancy party, right? I'm not afraid to have a little fun! Even if it's a trap, I won't be scared!"

As he said that, Daniel became suspicious.

"If it’s a proper banquet, shouldn't it be held during dinner time? It's the middle of the night; you don’t have high-society banquets at this hour. Is this party a midnight affair?"
