The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 454

"Arrogant!"

With a fierce shout, Kojima charged at Daniel like a wild boar gone mad. As Kojima closed in, Daniel sidestepped swiftly and, with a clever trip of the foot, sent him sprawling to the ground.

Thud!

Kojima landed face-first onto the ground—in an unfortunate stroke of fate, right into a pile of dog droppings, likely left by some stray. As his mustached mouth pushed into the dried pile, it resembled someone trying to eat a stale cookie, not overly stinky but definitely a choking hazard.

"Ptui!"

"Ah, ptui!"

Kojima scrambled up, spitting vigorously to rid his mouth of any trace of the revolting substance. Even if the droppings from an American farm dog might be more nutritious than Japanese Wagyu beef, it still was nauseating.

Upon seeing this, Daniel couldn't contain his laughter and began to taunt jovially.

"Hey, Japanese guy, you traveled all this way just to have a taste of dog poop! That pile’s gone cold, hard as a rock. Want me to find you a fresh, warm one? Something steamy would be softer to chew!"

While Daniel joked around, Beauty, utterly disgusted by his remarks, gave his waist a fierce pinch.

Being pinched out of the blue, Daniel certainly had to ask, "Why'd you pinch me?"

"That's disgusting! I like eating durian."

"Eating durian has what to do with this Japanese fellow eating dog poop?"

After spitting out more detestable droppings, Kojima clenched his iron fists and the veins on his arms bulged with anger.

"Country bumpkin, how dare you play dirty! Are all you Americans this despicable?" he bellowed.

"Let me tell you, Japanese guy, aren't you shameless? It was clearly you who tried to sneak attack me, yet you claim I played dirty. My move was just a response to your attack, that's all!"

Grinning, Daniel continued, "Since you’re here to kill me, shouldn't you at least tell me your name? Otherwise, if you manage to kill me and I become a vengeful ghost, I won't even know who to haunt."

"Kojima!" The hitman stated his own name proudly.

At the sound of it, Daniel burst into laughter, a reaction that was particularly grating to Kojima's ears.
