The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 748

"Although I am a woman, I can handle losing. I partook in this bet, so I accept that you are my boss."

With those words, Beauty saluted Daniel.

"Boss Daniel Matthews, reporting for duty!"

This was Beauty's idea—she was the heir to the Matthews family, representing them, so she couldn't afford to offend Down. But she did want to see him humbled, so she directly acknowledged Daniel's status as Boss. The victor of today's bet was Daniel, and admitting that wasn’t a big deal; she could handle the country boy. What difference would it make if she recognized him as Boss? She could do whatever she wanted with Daniel. That's the advantage of being a woman, the advantage of being beautiful!

Daniel was smart enough to understand why Beauty had made this move.

"Beauty, you're quite sensible! Since you acknowledge me as Boss, you must listen to me from now on and not beat me up without reason."

"Country boy, rest assured, I won’t hit you for no reason. When I do, I'll always find an excuse—or rather, a reason," Beauty responded with a sly smile.

Daniel decided not to tease her any further, opting to switch his attention to another lady. He turned to Victoria with a mischievous grin: "Victoria, Beauty has already accepted me as Boss. You took part in the bet today as well, so shouldn't you also acknowledge my status as Boss?"
