Chapter 521 Lily's Taunts

Manly's use of reverse psychology didn't go unnoticed. As long as Daniel remained within The Big

Dipper, he couldn’t take the four trillion he seemingly won with him. Thus, in Manly’s eyes, her loss

was not a true loss.

"An imbecile? You know, such a beautiful woman like yourself shouldn’t say that about me! If you

claim I’m lacking, I might just have to prove you wrong one day and let you feel for yourself just how

capable I am," Danny retorted with a sly smile.

"If you're so confident, then come with me," Manly said whilst walking ahead, her hip sway

accentuated by her high heels.

Daniel followed, trying hard not to stare too obviously, but the sight was too appealing for him to

ignore completely.

Lily, walking beside him, certainly noticed where Daniel's attention lay. She reached out and

pinched his arm, causing a bruise to form instantly.

"Ouch!" Daniel cried out, perplexed, "Why’d you pinch me, Lily? You're really hurting me!"

"I should’ve done worse. If those eyes of yours keep wandering, believe me, I’ll pluck them out," Lily

snapped.

"You're such a she-wolf. Keep this up, and you'll scare off any potential suitors!"

"Mind your gaze and stop looking at her," Lily warned him before sarcastically adding, "Some

women! Just because they’ve got a bit of charm, they flaunt it at every step. It's so shameless!"

Lily's words were loud enough for Manly to hear, and she knew they were meant for her.

Manal responded, "What are you talking about, Lily? You're guarding this country boy so closely

tonight, is he your man? Aren't you from The Matthews family? Isn’t it a bit below you to pick a

country bumpkin as your man?"

"He's my assistant, not my man! I brought him to The Big Dipper tonight so you all can see. Even

just a simple assistant of mine could blast through all seven challenges of Big Dipper. Add up all

seven disciples of The Divine Star, and they’re nothing compared to this country boy. Your

millennium-long heritage, your legendary Big Dipper—it’s all just an empty boast!"

Manly merely laughed coldly at Lily’s taunts.

"Lily, aren’t you a bit too confident in this country boy? The reason he won against me is that I let

him. If it weren’t for seeing you and going easy on him, his hundred bucks would have been gone

after the first bet, ending all this fuss."

Manly couldn't help regretting her decision now. If only she hadn’t rolled the Any Triple on Daniel's

first bet, letting him win ten thousand instead of losing right away, this four trillion loss could have

been avoided.

Despite knowing that Daniel wouldn't be able to walk away with that win, as the other six challenges

were yet to come, the fact that she had been played by a simple country boy was a source of

embarrassment.
