The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 824

Daniel wore an expression of utter disappointment. "All that work for just $500? That’s too stingy!"

"You little brat, do you think our police department is rolling in money? Let me tell you, our department operates on a tight budget. That $500 bonus would come out of my own bonus," Chloe retorted, giving Daniel a glare. "You think it’s too little? Fine, then you get nothing. No bonus at all!"

"Chloe, you change your mind way too fast! I just made one comment, and now you’re saying a bunch, taking my $500 bonus away?" Daniel protested.

"Yes, it’s gone! Though you might have lost the $500, I can still try to get you the honorary citizen certificate. But only if you help me capture those robbers alive. They must be alive! If they end up dead, then forget it!" Chloe declared firmly.

Just as she finished speaking, Jax let out a derisive laugh. "Haha!"

After laughing, he added with a mysterious tone, "Chloe, this guy’s just a fraud. He was lucky about the bombs being there. And triggering them with a rock? Pure luck all over again. Now you expect him to capture those armed and dangerous robbers alive? That’s impossible. If he runs into them, he’d be lucky not to piss his pants. Surviving without getting shot? That would already be extraordinarily lucky. Capturing them alive? That’s a fantasy!"
