The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 A Woman’s Temper 

Daniel’s remarks left Brittany speechless, so she shifted the topic hastily. “What about Justin? He didn’t provoke you, did he? You injured so many of his disciples and humiliated his son. Then you beat Justin himself senseless. You’ve offended him deeply.” 

“Brittany, are you deaf or blind? If you had eyes during the incident, you would have seen everything clearly! I initially intended to have a reasonable discussion with Justin, but he wouldn’t have it–he insisted on resolving issues with fists, so I fought back. In the end, he lost because he was outclassed. How is that my fault?” 

“You have the nerve to say that you wanted to ‘talk things over‘ courteously? You gave Justin three days. 

billion dollars!” to vacate the Black Panther Club and even demanded he compensate TMO with s 

“Three years ago, TMO paid the relocation fee. But that Justin reneged on the agreement and refused to vacate, and even attempted to extort another billion from TMO. I gave him three days to move, which I think is more than enough time. The compensation is due to the loss he caused TMO! The Black Panther Club’s refusal to vacate has prevented TMO from developing the land on Windows Street for three years. The losses from that exceed a billion. I’m already showing mercy by only asking Justin for a billion.” 

“You’re stubborn beyond reason!” 

Unable to refute Daniel, Brittany implored Jessica, “Look at him, Jessica, oblivious to his mistakes and continuing headlong down the wrong path. His actions are dragging TMO into an abyss. For the sake of TMO, for The Matthews, you must act decisively, dismiss this useless man immediately, and cut all ties 

with him!” 1 

“What did Daniel do wrong?” 

Jessica’s question stunned Brittany, who incredulously stared back at Jessica and passionately protested, “This man made a scene at the Black Panther Club! He injured so many of their members, scalded Albert’s mouth with boiling water, and even hurt Mr. Justin! With such offenses, the Black Panther Club won’t let him off easily. They’re one of the founding clubs of Martial Club United, and Justin is among the top 10 in their ranks. After facing such humiliation, how can Martial Club United stand by? They have thousands of clubs and tens of thousands of disciples–all combat experts. If we’ve angered them, how will TMO do business in New York?” 

“Since Black Panther Club is backed by Martial Club United, they dare to defy the relocation agreement despite taking our money, they even try to extort a billion from us? Daniel did right; he struck a blow to Black Panther Club’s arrogance and Justin’s pride, and by extension, to Martial Club United. We need to show them that neither TMO nor The Matthews family can be easily bullied. Eye for an eye, tooth for a
