Chapter 502 The Majestic Big Dipper
The Understated Dragon Lord
After playfully yanking on Lily's dress, Danny immediately put on a stern face. âLily, you said you
had something important to talk about. What's up?â he asked.
âYou're going to be my assistant!â Lilyâs answer stopped Danny dead in his tracks.
âYour assistant?â he echoed, slightly baffled.
âWhatâs wrong? Donât you want to?â she probed.
âWill I get paid?â he wondered aloud.
âPaid? Consider yourself lucky to be my assistant. Iâm already doing you a favor by not charging
you for the opportunity,â she said matter-of-factly.
Lily tossed the car keys to Danny with an authoritative air, âSince youâre my assistant now, youâre
driving!â
Catching the keys, Danny was stunned to find the Ferrari emblem, the iconic prancing horse. âNo
way! A Ferrari! Lily, youâre loaded! With this kind of money, youâre totally a sugar mommy! Will you
take care of me?â he asked mischievously.
âYou scoundrel, isnât Jessica taking good care of you already? You want me to do it too?â Lily
retorted, half amused and half annoyed.
âThe more, the merrier!â Danny quipped, flashing her a cheeky grin.
âSave it. Now drive!â 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, âSo
Lily, where are we headed?â
âThe Big Dipper,â she replied briefly.
âThe Big Dipper?â Danny found the name curious, sensing there was something special about it. He
probed further, âWhat place is that?â
âA great place,â Lily responded, keeping it mysterious.
âA great place? You donât mean disastrously great, do you?â quizzed Danny.
âThe Big Dipper is hailed as the finest palace in the USA. Inside, it might be a matter of life and
death, or one of skyrocketing success. The landowner is known as The Divine Star. I wonât lie to
you, I'm bringing you to The Big Dipper because I need your help with a tiny favor,â Lily confessed.
âA tiny favor? Like what?â Danny inquired, intrigued.
âTo meet The Divine Star,â she explained.
âMeet The Divine Star? But youâre one of the Matthews. If you canât meet this person, how can I?â
Danny questioned, showing a flicker of doubt.
âThat old oddball, The Divine Star, is notoriously temperamental, and doesnât give a hoot about the
influence of the eight families. To meet him, it takes more than just clout,â Lily said earnestly.
âMore than clout? What then?â Danny pressed.
âWhat else could it be? Obviously, itâs a manâs strength!â she hinted slyly.
...
The Ferrari blazed through the streets and soon reached its destinationâa grand, imposing
complex of ancient architecture gleaming golden in the sunsetâs 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 arrangedâclearly, The
Big Dipper was not renowned for nothing.
Lily noticed Dannyâs captivated gaze and asked with a teasing smile, âCountry boy, what are you
staring at?â
âIâm looking at The Big Dipper, of course!â he said, absorbed.
âThe Big Dipper? Whatâs so fascinating about it?â Lily wondered, not as impressed.
âItâs prettier than you,â he jested.
That comment earned Danny a roll of the eyes from Lily. âPrettier than me? Whatâs so pretty about it
then? Youâve been staring for a while now, what have you figured out about The Big Dipper?â
