The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 217

"You..." Brittany stamped her foot in frustration, feeling as though she had once again been outplayed by the country boy. She was fed up with always being on the losing end. Tonight, she was determined to win. To double her victory.

Not wanting to waste any more time bantering with Daniel, knowing she couldn't outsmart him, Brittany directly issued her challenge. "If you're a man, make good on our bet now!"

"Okay!" Daniel agreed without hesitation and then offered a pointed reminder, "Just a friendly warning: you've already eaten so much lobster, if you tuck into five plates of scrambled eggs, your belly's going to swell up like you're pregnant. Don't blame me!"

"You think I'm a goldfish? Don't worry, even if your scrambled eggs taste amazing, I’ll only eat a couple of bites at most, definitely not five whole plates. So just get ready to lose. And let me remind you, once you do, you’ll have to agree to any condition I put forward with no ifs, ands, or buts!"

"Don’t worry, if you somehow manage to scarf down five plates and I lose, I'll agree to any condition you propose, no backing out!"

"What are you planning to ask for?"

"I’m not telling you!"

"You…” Brittany fumed, stomping her foot again.

"Hmph!" She huffed dismissively and said, "It doesn't matter because you're the one who's going to lose. So, whatever you demand, I can agree to. Whoever backs out is a little dog!"

"Fine! Amelia can be the witness. If anyone backs out, they’re the little dog!"

"This scrambled egg looks as unappetizing as crap, but that makes sense. Being from the countryside, you probably crawled out from a pile of cow dung, so of course, your cooking would taste as bad as it looks."

Amelia, who had just brought over two more plates, heard Brittany's commentary. Somewhat annoyed, she retorted, "What did you say? That Daniel's eggs are as unpalatable as crap? Go ahead, try it. I bet after you taste it, you'll instantly fall in love with crap's flavor, maybe you'll even fight to eat it!"

"I would never do that!" Brittany declared, placing the small piece of egg into her mouth.

Before she even began to chew, the egg’s unique flavor assaulted her taste buds. In that moment, Brittany realized she had forgotten all the snide remarks she had prepared to throw at Daniel.
