The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 402

"I'm gonna kick your butt!"

Beauty lifted her leg and landed a solid kick on Daniel's behind, sending the off-balance man tumbling to the ground. She chuckled merrily at the sight of Daniel finally getting a taste of his own medicine.

Dusting himself off from the ground, Daniel wore a look of disbelief.

"You're laughing?"

"I sure am, hehe..."

"What a tedious woman."

Not in the mood to bicker with her, Daniel quickly changed the subject. "So where's this big kitty cat?"

The Tiger King from Spirit Realm had caught Daniel's interest. He liked cats, especially the big ones. If he could find the Tiger King and turn it into his pet, that would be one amusing feat!

Listening to Daniel inquire about the Tiger King, Soldier suddenly had an idea. He looked at Daniel with a mocking tone.

"Country kid, why you asking about the Tiger King? You don’t think you’ve got what it takes to handle it, do you? With your scrawny body, you wouldn't serve as more than a single bite to the Tiger King. It's no ordinary tiger—it's several times the size of a normal one, bigger than a grown elephant and faster than the quickest cheetah. Standing in front of the Tiger King is just asking for trouble!"

While Soldier rattled on, Beauty grew impatient.

"Enough talk! Just take us to where the Tiger King is now! What a bunch of losers, can't even handle a country kid. Turns out, it might just take a country kid to bring back that beast. Only someone like him might have the skills to tame such a creature."

Soldier was only telling half-truths; the first part was right, but the second half was a lie.

He'd never dare to lead his men into the hills searching for the Tiger King; it was a fierce animal and definitely a man-eater.

Wouldn't searching the hills for it be tantamount to signing their own death warrant?

"Lead us to the hills then! Let's see where the Tiger King's gotten to," Beauty demanded.

Her request filled Soldier's face with worry. After some thought, he responded, "Lady, Tiger King is very dangerous. Maybe you should stay behind, and I'll just take the country kid with me."
