Chapter 400 Beauty's Plan
The Understated Dragon Lord
Seeing that he and his men were no match for this country boy on their own, Soldier gestured
angrily to his team, "Brothers, get him! Take down this country bumpkin!"
As the group lunged at Daniel, Beauty quickly intervened, "Even though this country boy is
detestable, he's still my cousin's assistant. When you strike, make sure you don't go too far and kill
him."
Beauty's line in the sand was not to kill Daniel. While as a lady of The Matthews, taking a country
boy's life wouldn't be a big deal, she couldn't justify it to Jessica if Daniel were to die.
Moreover, Beauty wasn't looking for Daniel's demise. She just wanted to teach him a lesson, to
make him understand that he couldn't meddle with The Matthews family in New York. She intended
to beat him half to death, best if he was left disabled, and then have him leave New York forever,
disappearing from Jessica's life completely.
Of course, being a person of high standing, Beauty planned to provide Daniel with financial
compensation, allowing him to live a carefree lifeâin a wheelchair, but still carefree and well
provided for.
The dozens of men, all elite commandos skilled in combat, could each take on ten at a time. As
they converged on Daniel, their aggression was no challenge for him. Without moving a step, he
sent each attacker flying with left and right strikes. In less than three minutes, all of the commando
warriors who had surrounded him were sprawled on the ground.
Beauty was utterly shocked. Looking at Daniel with disbelief, she asked, "How can you fight like
that?"
"I can do more than just fight," Daniel replied cheekily, "I can also handle you."
"Shameless! Get lost!" she cursed.
Beauty pondered internally. No wonder Jessica fancied this country boy; regardless of whether their
marriage was real or fake, she did have feelings for him. Daniel seemed just like a simple country
bumpkin, but now, it was obvious there was more to him. Soldier and his men, veterans from the
battlefield, could handle gunfire and explosions; none of them were pushovers. If even a master
martial artist might struggle against such numbers, Daniel's effortless victory was astonishing.
Despite his young age, his remarkable combat skills indeed made him a talent. Beauty couldnât help
wondering: could she be developing feelings for this guy? After all, he was just a country kid who
didn't deserve her affection. Yet, given his extraordinary strength, maybe she could give him a
chance, like driving for her or even being her bodyguard.
Still, this one test wasn't enough. To be considered for such a position, the country boy would have
to pass far harsher trials. Only then could she present such an opportunity to him.
Seeing Soldier lying defeated on the ground, Beauty's face filled with disdain as she scolded the
incapable squad: "What a waste! A bunch of wastes!"
