The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 313 Shore County

Jennifer drove her Porsche 718 at breakneck speed, bringing Daniel into a village called Shore County where her manufacturing plant was located. As they approached the entrance of the village, they were stopped by a few hoodlums.

The leader of the gang was Strong Liu, whose father was Beast Liu, the head of Shore County’s criminal underworld. Strong began slapping the car door and shouting aggressively, “Get out of the car!”

Daniel opened the door and stepped out, asking, “What’s the matter?”

“What’s the matter? You tell me! Do you know where you are?” Strong pointed at Daniel’s nose with an arrogant attitude.

Daniel gestured towards a stone tablet by the roadside and said, “Well, doesn’t that sign say ‘Shore County’? Can't you read? If not, let me read it for you: this character is ‘Shore’, and this one is ‘County’. Put them together, it says ‘Shore County’. Now you know where you are, right? Don't mention it, just move aside!”

Strong was momentarily stunned by Daniel's response, and once he snapped out of it, feeling like he’d been mocked, he cursed, “Where did you come from, you country bumpkin, daring to talk to me like that? Did I ever say I can't read? I went to school, legit graduated from middle school! Shore County is my turf, and that stone tablet is put up by my family, how could I not recognize the words?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Since you can read, why are you stopping me? So you didn't stop me to have me teach you how to read, huh?”

Pretending to be puzzled, Daniel continued, “So, little hoodlum, if you're not stopping me to learn how to read, then what is it? Are you after money? Or is it her?”

Daniel nodded towards Jennifer, who was sitting in the driver's seat. She was the one who brought him to Shore County, so she must have known what it was like. Perhaps this hoodlum was part of her arrangement.

Seeing Daniel pointing at her, Jennifer had no choice but to get out of the car. She yelled at Daniel in anger, “Country bumpkin, aren’t you supposed to be a man? Can't you even handle a petty thug? You’re such a waste! A man? I think you're just a gutless piece of trash, relying on a woman to sort out everything!”

After lashing out at Daniel, Jennifer instantly turned to Strong and ordered, “Step aside right now! Don't block the way here, or you'll regret it when I have you thrown in jail!”

Jennifer showed a ferocity towards this hoodlum that Daniel had never seen before, and Strong was almost frightened by her outburst. But he quickly composed himself. This was his territory, and a foreign woman dared to be so fierce with him?

After sizing Jennifer up carefully from head to toe, Strong got excited. She was a beauty—a breathtakingly gorgeous woman. Having such a sight grace Shore County, if he missed the chance to have a go with a woman like her, he'd regret it for life.

Strong was someone who played his cards strategically. He wouldn't just outright ask Jennifer to sleep with him; he needed a legitimate excuse first.

“Lady, do you know the rules here?”

“What rules?”

“Once you're in Shore County, you have to obey the rules of Shore County! The roads in the village were funded and built by the villagers.”
