The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 746

Smart felt a shiver run down his spine under Daniel's piercing gaze. "Country boy, why are you looking at me like that?" he inquired.

Daniel, still wearing a grin, teased, "Smart, have you admitted defeat? Will you kneel? Do you acknowledge that Beauty is your boss? If you too refuse to admit it, these two animals might just decide you're their next meal."

Hearing Daniel's words and seeing the watchful Spirit Cats, Smart was petrified. His legs gave way, and he fell to his knees in front of Beauty.

"Beauty, from now on, you are my boss. If you tell me to go east, I absolutely won't go west! Whatever you command, I will not refuse!" Smart's declaration, though decisive, was a lie; his submission stemmed from desperation to save his own skin. Once out of Purple Gold Hill, he had no intention of keeping his word, and there was the added intention of killing that country bumpkin, Daniel, and turning him into mince.

With Smart kneeling, Daniel turned to Down with a chuckle, "Mr. Down, you see Smart has set a fine example for you. Are you still going to reject my proposal? Are your knees so stiff that you can't kneel down?"

"Country boy, what right do you have to demand that I kneel? You think I fear these two cats? Even if they are formidable, they are just animals!"

After his defiant remark, Down looked to Black and White and ordered, "You two, capture those Spirit Cats! If this country boy subdued them with mere slaps, then you, as the Black and White Knights, top ten martial artists in the USA, can certainly tame a couple of beasts."

Down's command left Black and White exchanging looks of disbelief. Eventually, Black stepped forward.
