The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 710

Considering Smart's strength, his kick had about as much impact on Black as if a little lady had struck him—it hardly made an inch of difference.

"Smart, my punch was indeed unintended! Please step aside a little, stay away from the bumpkin, so you don’t interfere with me dealing with him!"

"Fine! If you knock that country boy down today, you better rattle his teeth out. Then I’ll forget about that punch you landed on me. But if you fail, if this bumpkin beats you instead, I'll knock every last tooth out of your mouth with a hammer!"

After dropping a heavy threat, Smart stepped back. He understood that Black’s hit was an accident and chose not to hold a grudge for now. What he did want, however, was to make Daniel, the pesky bumpkin, bite the dust through Black's fist.

Ever since their first encounter, Smart had been on the losing end. Whether in New York or Washington DC, Smart never had the upper hand—it was always him who came up short, every time.

Although Black hadn't suffered any big losses in the recent scuffle, he hadn't gained any advantage either, and he was sorely displeased. For a Level Six Martial Arts Master to exchange so many moves with a mere country boy and still be at a disadvantage, let alone suffer several setbacks, was humiliating. Such a rumor getting out would disgrace him.

The incident had shown Black that although Daniel's abilities appeared mediocre, he was extremely crafty, agile, and had a reaction time that was incredibly swift—a combination that allowed the country boy to dodge each of Black's strikes.
