The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 656

Smart felt incredibly confident. He didn't believe he'd lose to Down—in fact, he thought his chances of winning were quite high. Stepping forward, he declared, "Down, if I end up winning, you'll have to listen to everything I say. You'll call me 'boss' every time you see me!"

Declan joined in the competitive spirit, jumping into the conversation, "Smart, who becomes the boss is still up for grabs! You think you're the only one who got the news and made preparations? None of us here came unprepared."

After everyone had shared their ambitious assertions, Down began to announce the rules.

"We have seven days to catch the Spirit Cat. After a week, we'll meet back here. Whoever captures the cat is the boss. Additionally, each participant can bring up to four assistants, and there are no restrictions on equipment. One last rule: anyone who dies on Purple Gold Hill over the next seven days, it's their fate. Thus, every participant must sign a waiver of liability."

Down aimed not only to capture the Spirit Cat and become the boss of the third generation of the eight families, but he also plotted to eliminate those he disliked and let them perish on Purple Gold Hill. That was the reason he had recruited the Black and White Knights. Besides them, he also intended to bring along Cane Gold and had arranged for assassins hidden in the shadows to emerge at the critical moment.

Since Beauty had brought Daniel, they were naturally together. Victoria, who had come alone without any assistants, caught the attention of Smart, who approached her with an invitation.
