The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 122

"Jennifer, I thought you were a decent person. What is the meaning of all this?" Samuel inquired.

"It doesn't mean anything! I just have a little personal vendetta against this country boy. I just grabbed a dress and stuffed it into his bag when I heard your staff call him a thief," Jennifer retorted with a glare at Daniel.

"You got lucky today, country boy, but next time won't be so easy. We're not done yet!" Jennifer declared, then clacked away in her high heels.

Seeing Daniel make no move to stop her, Jessica asked sternly, "You're just letting her walk away?"

"What else?"

"She framed you, and you won't even say a word?"

"I don't have time to waste on a petty woman!"

Exasperated, Jessica muttered, "You..."

She was upset. After all her efforts to defend him, Daniel was now too "lazy" to care. It didn't sit right with Jessica. Why was Jennifer targeting him repeatedly? Could there be something between them? Jealousy and suspicion swirled in Jessica's mind.

"That's enough! Let's go home!" Jessica stormed off angrily.

As Daniel began to follow, Sky called out to him, "Hold up, country boy! Even if you're not a thief, you've hurt so many of our club's members. This isn't over yet; Harrisons Martial Club demands revenge!"

"Revenge?" Daniel paused, grinning. "Sure, why not? But you should probably get your master Jacob involved. I don't want to waste my time dealing with the rest of you. Just send him to handle everything – it’ll save us both the trouble."

"I don't want to challenge him. I actually know him quite well. So I don't want to beat up his disciples – it might ruin our relationship. My idea is to have him come over, take his no-good, yelling disciples back, and teach them a lesson himself."

"You know my brother? I'll call him right now and see if he knows you," Samuel said, skeptical but intrigued. He pulled out his phone and dialed Jacob.

The phone was quickly answered. "Samuel, what's up?"

"Big brother, your disciples got beaten up at Ancient Mall. Some had their arms twisted, others got their legs broken!"

"Who's bold enough to mess with the Harrisons Martial Club's disciples on your turf?"

"It was Jessica's assistant."
