The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 817

After speaking, Jax, aware of Chloe’s nature, didn't forget to give one last reminder.

"Chloe, we really can’t act rashly this time! We don’t have any backup. If we move without caution and walk into their trap, someone could get seriously hurt or even killed. It’s not worth the risk."

Feeling her authority being challenged, Chloe angrily asked, "Who’s the captain here? You or me?"

"You are," Jax responded meekly, like a scolded schoolboy.

"So, are you teaching me how to do my job?" Chloe pressed.

"No, ma’am!"

"Then shut your mouth! Answer when asked, and keep it zipped otherwise! Or else, I’ll dock your pay!"

Displaying her usual commanding temperament, Chloe snapped at Jax, who now stood silently.

Chloe divided her officers, issuing orders with a wave of her hand: "Your team, flank from the left. Your team, flank from the right. We’ll attack from both sides and catch these robbers by surprise, taking them down completely!"

The solemn atmosphere was abruptly broken by Daniel’s derisive snort.

Chloe’s face darkened, and she snarled at Daniel, "Why are you laughing, you little brat?"

Daniel’s argument left Chloe momentarily speechless. The annoying little brat was right!

"If you’re correct and there are no robbers, just boars, then how am I leading my team to die? Without robbers, the worst we could do is find nothing, not death."

With a commanding wave, Chloe barked, "We’re going in! Let’s see if it’s robbers or wild boars hiding in these buildings."

"Chloe, you’re gorgeous, but has all the food you’ve eaten gone to your looks and curves instead of your brain? You’re acting brainless!"

"What do you mean by that, you little brat?" Chloe retorted angrily.
