Chapter 318 Beast Shows Up
The Understated Dragon Lord
"A long story? Well, why don't you give me the short version!" Daniel quipped.
"Years ago, I invested a fortune to buy this factory building and installed brand new production lines.
But as soon as I finished setting everything up, a guy named Beast claimed the factory was his and
tried to take over my production line."
Just as she spoke, a man with a scruffy beard and a face full of scars, accompanied by a group,
approached. He was Beast.
"Jennifer, youâve been avoiding me for so long, I thought you'd never dare to come back to Shore
County. Did you give up on this factory? What brings you here today?" Beast leered at Jennifer from
head to toe with greedy eyes.
"Jennifer, itâs been over a year since we last met, right? You've gotten even prettier and more
charming!" Beast continued, ogling her.
Feeling his intense stare, Jennifer instinctively hid behind Daniel.
Beast glared at Daniel and barked, "Who's this country bumpkin? Scram, kid, donât block my view of
Jennifer's beauty!"
"Jennifer is pretty, but am I not good-looking too? Why donât you take a good look at me?" Daniel
responded with a chuckle.
"Get lost!" Beast growled, but before he could finish his sentence, Daniel charged towards him.
Smack!
Daniel landed a solid slap on Beastâs fleshy face.
Beast was a big guy, weighing over 200 pounds with a belly larger than a pregnant woman.
Surprisingly, Daniel's slap sent him flying into a pine tree, which shook loose a shower of pine
cones, all pelting down on him.
A caterpillar also fell, landing squarely in Beast's mouth.
"Blech!"
"Ptui, ptui, ptui!" Beast tried to spit out the caterpillar, but in his haste, he accidentally burst it, filling
his mouth with the critterâs messy innards.
"Ptui, ptui, ptui!" Beast continued to spit out the remains.
"Damn you, country bumpkinâyou dare to hit me?" Beast roared, his eyes bulging with rage as he
ordered his henchmen.
"What are you standing around for? Get him! Beat the snot out of this bumpkin! He made me eat a
bug! Pummel him, and then shake all the bugs from this pine tree and stuff them in his mouth!"
"Ah blech!"
"Ptui, ptui, ptui!" Beast kept trying to clean his mouth.
The dozen or so tough guys he'd brought with him started circling Daniel. They were all hardened
criminals; any one of them could take on ten men single-handedly, with several notches on their
belts to prove it. Armed and ready, they attacked Daniel like a pack of rabid dogs.
But before they could even get close, Daniel was already throwing punches and kicks, quickly
knocking them all to the ground.
Beast was stunned!
His goons, handpicked and known for their ferocity, capable of facing down ten men each, were
getting schooled by this country kid?
