The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 613 A Man's Bottom Line

Cane Gold, after catching his breath from the previous moment's disbelief, once again activated the buttons on the fixture. The hundred-meter-tall fake mountain immediately shrouded itself in a dense white fog. So thick and enveloping was the mist that it obscured all vision. Sharp knives, alive with movement, began to extend from the cracks in the stone-some oscillating up and down, others side to side, all moving faster than blades in a meat grinder. Anyone ascending the mountain would surely be reduced to mincemeat.

Cane Gold gestured towards the fog-covered Blades Mountain and coldly told Daniel, "Country boy, go ahead! The Blade Mountain has been activated, go fetch that red hat and put it on your head to pass the test.”

As Daniel was about to move, Beauty suddenly intervened with a look of apparent concern, "Country boy, are you sure you're up for this? If you can't do it, there's no shame in backing out. If you're acting tough and lose your life here, it would be a huge loss."

"To know if I'm up to the challenge, why don't we find a secluded spot and you give making love with me a try? Only after you've experienced it will you know if I can satisfy you. How about that?"

"Try it out? Why would I need to try? You look the part of a man who wouldn't satisfy, and you think you have the right to test it with me? No chance."

"I believe you'd enjoy it."

"With you? Why on earth would that be?"

"Because I have a long tongue," replied Daniel, his answer leaving Beauty inflamed with fury, tempted to crush him then and there.

"Country boy, since your tongue is so long, I suggest you forget about climbing that mountain. Just use your tongue to roll down that green hat and wear it on your head-that'll count as passing this test."

"My dear, I am choosing the red hat, not the green one. The green hat is reserved for your future husband."

"Go ahead! I dare you, and if you do, I promise to anyone who tries to cheat on me with a green hat will regret it."

Daniel was dead serious. While he could be maghanimous about many things, when it came to women, he was fiercely possessive. His women were to be touched by no one but him, even if he wasn't there to touch them himself. That was his principle, his bottom line-the line in the sand that defined him as a man. His woman had to be his and his alone, off-limits to all others.

"You dare do anything, and I'll kill you!" Beauty snorted.

"Damn! Are you really betraying me, darling? Though, for you to betray me, you'd have to be loyal to me first. How can you betray what you haven't committed to?"

Daniel's response came with a sneer.

"Get lost! Filthy rascal! Take a joke seriously, will you? Even if you were the last man on earth, I wouldn't be with you."

"So, darling, you're saying that as long as there's another man in the world, you'll be with me?"
