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?"
