The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 502

After playfully yanking on Lily's dress, Danny immediately put on a stern face. “Lily, you said you had something important to talk about. What's up?” he asked.

“You're going to be my assistant!” Lily’s answer stopped Danny dead in his tracks.

“Your assistant?” he echoed, slightly baffled.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to?” she probed.

“Will I get paid?” he wondered aloud.

“Paid? Consider yourself lucky to be my assistant. I’m already doing you a favor by not charging you for the opportunity,” she said matter-of-factly.

Lily tossed the car keys to Danny with an authoritative air, “Since you’re my assistant now, you’re driving!”

Catching the keys, Danny was stunned to find the Ferrari emblem, the iconic prancing horse. “No way! A Ferrari! Lily, you’re loaded! With this kind of money, you’re totally a sugar mommy! Will you take care of me?” he asked mischievously.

“You scoundrel, isn’t Jessica taking good care of you already? You want me to do it too?” Lily retorted, half amused and half annoyed.

“The more, the merrier!” Danny quipped, flashing her a cheeky grin.

“Save it. Now drive!” Lily barked, hiding a smile as she settled into the passenger seat of the gleaming Ferrari.

After sliding the key into the ignition and grasping the steering wheel, Danny asked with a grin, “So Lily, where are we headed?”

“The Big Dipper,” she replied briefly.

“The Big Dipper?” Danny found the name curious, sensing there was something special about it. He probed further, “What place is that?”

“A great place,” Lily responded, keeping it mysterious.

The Ferrari blazed through the streets and soon reached its destination—a grand, imposing complex of ancient architecture gleaming golden in the sunset’s glow. This magnificent place was The Big Dipper.

Danny, well-versed in architecture, needed only a glance to recognize the exceptional craftmanship. Every building, every detail, every blade of grass and tree was meticulously arranged—clearly, The Big Dipper was not renowned for nothing.

Lily noticed Danny’s captivated gaze and asked with a teasing smile, “Country boy, what are you staring at?”

“I’m looking at The Big Dipper, of course!” he said, absorbed.

“The Big Dipper? What’s so fascinating about it?” Lily wondered, not as impressed.

“It’s prettier than you,” he jested.

That comment earned Danny a roll of the eyes from Lily. “Prettier than me? What’s so pretty about it then? You’ve been staring for a while now, what have you figured out about The Big Dipper?”
