The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 855 Jax's Disobedience



Jax was taken aback by the unexpected command. With disbelief written all over his face, he stared at Chloe and asked, "Chloe, why are you listening to this dumbass? Whatever he tells you to do, you just do it? You're taking orders from him way too easily! Someone who didn't know better might think you were his wife!"

Jax's comment was clearly a provocation!

Upon hearing this, Chloe's expression changed immediately. Daniel quickly jumped in to defuse the tension, chuckling as he said to her, "Chloe, Jax is trying to play matchmaker! He wants to introduce you, the captain, to me, as my wife."

"Get lost! Who would ever want to be your wife?"NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Chloe shot Daniel an annoyed glance, clearly disgusted. "Even if every man in the world were gone, there's no way I would marry a little brat like you!"

"You won't marry me? Well, even if every woman on Earth vanished, I wouldn't marry you either!"

Daniel's comeback stung Chloe's pride.

Fuming, she stomped her foot and put her hands on her hips, pointing at Daniel's nose as she shouted, "You little brat, who do you think you are to refuse to marry me? What gives you the right? If you could marry me, that would be your lucky day! Do you know what you're saying? You wouldn't marry me? You're not even a prince; you're just an ugly toad!"

"Chloe! Have you ever seen a toad? Toads don't have any thoughts about women! They just eat little bugs."

Daniel's reply made Chloe burst into laughter in her annoyance.

“Ha! You must be the one who deserves to eat little bugs! Go ahead and enjoy your bugs!"

"Chloe, when I'm hungry, I might just eat those little bugs. But right now, I'm not even hungry," Daniel replied, pointing at the coffin with a grin.

"But that coffin must be opened! So you'd better get Jax moving on this. If he doesn't open it soon, we might be in serious trouble. We could all find ourselves in real danger here."

Although Chloe wasn't sure if Daniel was serious, she couldn't afford to take any risks. After all, her understanding of the world had been turned upside down once they entered this cave. Tonight, she had seen a ghost-a female ghost!

And not just any ghost; Willow was able to interact with them!

When Willow first appeared, she had been terrifying, but now she looked more like a graceful woman, albeit one who floated instead of walked, with skin so pale it reminded Chloe of a corpse.

“Jax, hurry up and open that coffin lid!" Chloe ordered, her face serious.

“Chloe, this dumbass is clearly trying to humiliate me! He's just pranking me; he's absolutely insulting me! You can't fall for his tricks; don't listen to him!"

Jax's refusal to obey Chloe's command only frustrated her further, as she felt her authority as captain was being challenged!

With a freezing gaze, she

commanded sharply, "Jax, I order you to open that coffin lid right now! If you keep making excuses and don't follow orders, I'll hold it against yout and dock your pay!"
