The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 783

"Daniel, here's the thing. All the ghost stories about Golden Light Hill, I've only heard them. I haven't seen anything myself. So, after much consideration, I've decided to join you tonight at Golden Light Hill to see what's really going on," Perry explained. He couldn't admit he was going there to protect his daughter, so he made up this excuse.

"Alright! Let’s stay in touch. Perry, I need to focus on driving now. We’ll talk more tonight."

After hanging up, Daniel looked at Brittany with a grin.

"Brittany, you heard that, right? Perry called to say he’s coming with us. So, I was right. And that means you lost! Tonight, you have to do as I say. Whatever I tell you to do, you can't say no!"

"And why should I listen to you? What are you, my boss? Just because you say so, I have to obey?" Brittany was now playing dirty.

"Brittany, I thought you were a woman of your word! Are you backing out of our deal?"

"I'm not a man; I’m a woman. And it’s perfectly normal for women to play dirty!"

"Fine, you're a woman. I won't argue with you."

Daniel focused on driving, ignoring the woman who was now resorting to trickery.

"Who said you won? You lost! I won!" Brittany, hands on hips, continued to insist, "Country boy, don’t try to back out. You must treat me to tomahawk steak tonight. If you don't, I’ll hate you forever!"

"Wow, you'll hate me forever over one meal of tomahawk steak? That’s great! If that’s the case, I'll live in your heart forever, like a thorn piercing you from time to time. Sounds fantastic!"

"Country boy, you jerk! Want to be the thorn in my heart? Want to make me suffer? You jerk!" Brittany fumed.

Despite her anger, there was a playful tone in her voice, and Daniel couldn't help but chuckle at how determined she was to get that meal, even if it meant playing dirty.
