The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 609

The Spirit Cat as a pet would remain loyal to Daniel once tamed. Therefore, Daniel was extremely interested in acquiring The Spirit Cat.

As they approached the grand entrance of Purple Gold, an old man leaning on a cane emerged. His name was Cane Gold, and his cane was made of pure gold. He was the great steward of Purple Gold, with the entire estate under his management.

Cane Gold scrutinized Daniel, noticing that his clothes and overall demeanor screamed nothing but country bumpkin, and he did not recognize him. Cane Gold was acquainted with all the heirs to the powerful families in Washington, D.C., as he was the chief steward of Purple Gold, a venue often hosting gatherings for the city's elite youth.

To ascertain the identity of this country boy, Cane Gold asked Beauty with a neutral tone, "Miss, may I inquire which family's heir this gentleman belongs to?"

The question amused Beauty. She scoffed and countered, "Cane Gold, have your eyes grown so old that you can't see clearly anymore? Look at this bumpkin—do his bearing and attire in any way suggest he's an heir to a wealthy family?"

Beauty's words made Cane Gold pause. The disdain in her voice seemed quite genuine. If she despised this country fellow so, why bring him here? Cane Gold didn’t quite get it.

Beauty’s intentions for bringing Daniel to this feast were far from benevolent. She recognized Daniel's capabilities and intended to use him as her hunting dog. If Daniel were to win, she could bask in shared glory. If he were to lose or even be killed by The Spirit Cat, she wouldn't care—after all, he was just a country bumpkin.

With Beauty's explanation, Daniel instantly understood her motive to exploit him. Nevertheless, he wasn't bothered. He was determined to get The Spirit Cat; that was why he had accompanied Beauty in the first place.

And as for Beauty, he vowed that sooner or later, he would have her submit to him in all manners imaginable.
