The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 204 The Girlfriend

Daniel wasn't clueless; it only took one glance for him to figure out that the snack shop's owner must have angered someone, leading these menacing gang members to stir up trouble.

"Who's the owner of this shop?" Daniel inquired, turning to Brittany.

"My cousin," she replied.

"Is she pretty?"

"What’s it to you?"

"Well, if she ain't pretty, I'm out of here. Just look at these troublemakers, they don't look friendly at all, and they’ve got cleavers - scary!"

"I dare you to leave! Aren't you all tough? You better solve this problem for me. Otherwise, I'll report you to Jessica!"

"Report me? For what?"

"For harassment! You, the country bumpkin, harassed me!"

"When did I harass you?"

"I say it happened, then it happened! I'm a woman, the victim, and my word is the final say!"

Daniel: ...

As they approached the entrance, one of the cleaver-wielding tough guys quickly positioned his blade at Daniel's throat.

"What are you doing here?" the tough guy demanded.

"Isn't this a snack shop? I came to grab a bite with my girlfriend!" Daniel bluffed.

Girlfriend?

Brittany ignored the knife and focused on that one word. This country boy had the nerve to take advantage of her?

Fuming, she frowned deeply. However, she held back from protesting because she needed Daniel's help. She decided, for the time being, to let him have this small victory, but she definitely wouldn’t allow him to go too far.

"The shop's closed today, get out!" the tough guy wasn't interested in further conversation and wanted to shoo Daniel away. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Whether it's open or not, is that up to you? What, you think you're the boss here?"

"Keep talking, and maybe I'll chop you down!"

The big guy waved his cleaver but didn’t actually swing it. Even for the gang, random violence was unusual.

"Chop me? Go ahead!" Daniel pointed to his own neck, grinning. "Try here!"

"You’re asking for it!" The tough guy really moved to strike, aiming a blow at Daniel's thigh instead of the neck!

But Daniel wasn't about to stand still and get chopped. As the blade neared his leg, he quickly kicked out, landing a solid blow to the tough guy’s stomach and sent him flying.

"Boom!"

The big guy was large and flew horizontally, knocking down several other thugs like a bowling ball.

"Damn, kill him!" yelled one of the buzz-cut henchmen as the rest surged forward.

Unfazed by the group attack, Daniel fought back with fists and feet. In less than ten minutes, he had knocked down about twenty of them, and their cleavers clattered to the ground.

Having dispatched the goons outside, Daniel sauntered into the shop with Brittany in tow. As they reached the entrance, she whispered threateningly in his ear, "Country boy, don’t you dare tell my cousin that I'm your girlfriend!"

“Why, do you think I’m not handsome enough?” Daniel replied with a cheeky grin.
