The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 257

"You..." Ava stamped her foot in frustration, clearly at a loss about how to handle this scoundrel. After all, Daniel truly wasn't one of her subordinates, and he indeed wasn’t under her jurisdiction. Though she had threatened to arrest Daniel, it was merely a threat; she would not actually follow through. She adhered to regulations and wouldn't handcuff someone without cause—being a scumbag wasn't illegal, it was a matter of morality.

Despite being glared at hatefully by Ava, Daniel remained nonchalant. He grinned at Ava and in a taunting tone asked, "Sarge, have you made up your mind yet? Are you going to beg me to give it a try?"

"Beg you?" Ava rolled her eyes at Daniel. "Beg your ass! Just go and bring down Jennflower's body now! If you don’t, I’ll arrest you."

"Arrest me? On what grounds? Even though you’re in uniform, and yes, you’re very pretty, if you want to handcuff me, you need a reason."

"Reason? Do I need a reason to handcuff a scumbag like you? Who knows how many girls you’ve wronged? Just for those things you've done, I have a thousand reasons to arrest you!"

"Sarge, you can't make baseless accusations. If you say I've wronged any girls, you need evidence! If you can't provide evidence, that’s slander. Of course, if you wish, you can try to seduce me! You’ve got nothing to lose, and you can take advantage of me. Most importantly, you’ll get your evidence."

"You... you want me to seduce you? Do you hear what you're saying?"

"I’m up to nothing! I just want your assistance. Together, we can remove the body from the rope. If we don't bring down Jennflower’s body, we can't proceed with the case, which would impact the squad’s case resolution statistics, wouldn't it?"

As the two began to bicker, Ava simply commanded Shitstrong, "Do whatever the scumbag tells you to do. I want to see what tricks he's got up his sleeve. If he tries any funny business, I’ll deal with him."

Of course, Shitstrong wasn’t about to listen to Daniel, but he dared not ignore Ava's orders.
