The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 834

Bang!

A single shot could end it all, leaving nothing but shattered skull. Smart Jax knew exactly what he was doing on this mission with Chloe; he was here to earn his bonus, not to lose his life. Sensing danger, his instinctive choice was to stay in the back. If anyone had to die, he’d make sure he was the last.

"Jax, are you sure you want to be the last one?" Daniel asked, still with a grin on his face.

"Absolutely! The last position is the most dangerous. As the most experienced member of the team, the most dangerous task should naturally fall to me! Those bandits are very cunning. Once they realize we’re in the cave, they’ll likely try to circle behind us for a sneak attack. But you can trust me to cover our backs. If I’m at the rear, I’ll make sure no harm comes to any of you from behind."

Jax spoke with such fervor, as if he were a hero ready to face any danger, taking it all upon himself.

"Jax, you’re right, the last position is dangerous, but the danger isn’t necessarily from the bandits. Or yes, it is from them, considering one of them is the Evil Raiser," Daniel said, leaving Jax puzzled.
