The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 190

Upon hearing Brittany's words, Jessica chuckled. "The 72 martial arts masters? It's no big deal. Don't worry; Daniel can handle it."

Jessica's attitude and answer made Brittany feel as if Jessica was completely unaware of the gravity of the situation. Brittany seriously warned her, "Jessica, the man Daniel has provoked, Woods, is not an easy target. Masters like him don't care about killing. I've heard each of them has killed many. Neither you, Jessica, nor The Matthews Organization had any previous dealings with such people. But now, because of this country nobody, we might have a conflict. Woods's son had his arm broken. If Woods feels just killing Daniel won't quell his anger, he might take it out on you or even The Matthews Organization. The worst-case scenario is he could kill you, even eliminate everyone from The Matthews Organization."

"Brittany, relax. He's just a martial arts master; he can't beat Daniel," Jessica replied nonchalantly.

She turned to Daniel and said, "You did well today, bringing in fifteen billion dollars for the company. Therefore, I've decided to take you out for a candlelit dinner and then a movie."

"So..." Daniel started with a sly grin, then cheekily asked, "What about the hotel?"

"Hotel, my ass! Keep talking like that, and I'll let Brittany sew your mouth shut with a thread and needle!"

A baffled Brittany chimed in right away, "Jessica, just a moment, I'll go get the needle and thread!"

"No need, you get out. Daniel, stay. I want to talk to him."

"Jessica, this country nobody is not trustworthy. If you leave him alone in the office, I'm afraid he might harass you."

"Enough, get out now!"

"Oh."

Reluctantly, but unable to disobey Jessica's command, Brittany left Jessica's office with a heavy heart.

"Close the door behind you!" Jessica reminded her as Brittany reached the door.

"Oh."

"That Woods Brittany was talking about; can you handle him?"

"I could definitely take him!"

"Even if you can take him, I don't think you should always resort to violence. It's one thing if you injure someone else, but it would be problematic if you get hurt!"

"Darling, are you worried about me?"

"Stop calling me that! I've already told you so many times! And who's worried about you? It wouldn't be my concern even if you died out there!"

"Women! The epitome of hypocrisy! You're clearly worried about me yet act like you don't care. You obviously enjoy me calling you darling, but you insist I can't."
