The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 734 Are You Telling Me What to Do?

With that revelation, Black turned to Daniel and asked, "Country boy, you seem to have some skills. Do you think you can deal with the pair of The Spirit Cats?"

Daniel saw right through the old man's intentions and retorted with a chuckle, "What's your angle? You want me to catch them and then you'll sneak them away from me?"

"Country boy," Black taunted, "didn't you come to Purple Gold Hill with Beauty to find The Spirit Cat? Now that you know how formidable The Spirit Cat is, you're scared, aren't you? You don't dare to go after them?"

He then turned to Beauty to sow discord, "Beauty, this country boy you're with is a coward! I thought by telling him where The Spirit Cats are and taking him to them, he could capture them for you. But he doesn't have the guts? What a chicken! He's got no guts at all! Having such a loser as an assistant, isn't that a humiliation for you? If I were you, I'd kick him to the curb and keep him out of sight forever!"

Beauty asked icily, "Black, are you trying to tell me what to do?"

"No! Of course not! I would never dare tell you what to do. I'm just suggesting that this is a golden opportunity. We've already inflicted heavy damage on The Spirit Cats. If you send this country boy now and he subjugates them, you could be the boss of the eight great families' younger generations. Even Mr. Down would have to follow your lead and take orders from you!"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Of course, Black was not so magnanimous; he did not intend for Beauty to become the boss. His words were meant to set a trap for her.

More accurately, he was planning to use Beauty to eliminate the country bumpkin, Daniel.

Before Beauty could reply, Daniel

cheerfully picked up the

net

conversation, "Beauty, this could be your shot at being the boss, and I'll help you achieve it."

Turning to Down, he asked with a grin, "Mr. Down, if I manage to subdue those two Spirit Cats, then you'l have to become Beauty's subordinate, agreed?"

"Country boy, if you really have what it takes, if you can truly subdue that pair of Spirit Cats, I am a man of my word, and I won't go back on it!"

Down knew first-hand how

formidable the pair of Spirit Cats were, having barely escaped them himself. He was sure that Daniel, the country boy, could never defeat them Once Daniel faced The Spirit Cats, there could be only one

outcome: death. A death where not even his bones would remain.

"Since Mr. Down said as much, let's get a good night's rest. Tomorrow at dawn, we'll go after The Spirit Cat!" Daniel suggested.

He picked up the wooden stick and gave another whack to Black's behind.

"Smack!"

"Ah! Stop it, country boy! Why did you hit me again?"

"Why? You set a trap to take my life, giving you a strike with this stick is a mild punishment."
