Chapter 206 Thank You

Beardog's attack was swift and lethal; he wasn't the type to give his foes any chance to fight back.Just as his dagger was about to pierce Daniel's chest, Daniel deftly caught the blade between twofingers, stopping it dead.

With a quick twist and flick of his fingers, the dagger snapped in half. Daniel then delivered apowerful kick to Beardog's midsection, sending the gang leader flying out the window and into adead-end alley filled with garbage bins brimming with swill.

"Splash!"

Beardog landed right in one of the bins.

"Damn it!" he cursed aloud, which turned out to be a bad idea since his mouth was open.

"Glug, glug, glug..."

He swallowed several mouthfuls of the disgusting liquid.

"Ptooey!"

"Glug, glug, glug..."

"Ah, ptooey!"

Deciding that cursing was no longer worth the risk, Beardog quickly clambered out of the bin. Hismen had been defeated, and he himself had been thrown into swill by a country bumpkin. Thehumiliation was intolerable, but Beardog knew he was no match for Daniel. He'd need help to settlethe score.

Before leaving, Beardog decided to issue a warning. "Country boy, you think you can kick mearound? Do you know who my boss is? I'm one of Justin's men!"

"Justin? Which Justin?"

"Justin from the Black Panther Club! So, if you've got the guts, don't leave. I'll be back with moremen from the Black Panther Club, and you're a dead man tonight!"

With those words, a swill-drenched Beardog and his crew departed.

Once Beardog was gone, Amelia snapped out of her shock and expressed her gratitude to Daniel."Thank you, Brittany's boyfriend!"

Hearing this, Brittany quickly corrected her, "Cousin, don't just say things – he's not my boyfriend!He's just a country bumpkin and a colleague! Plus, he's about to be fired from the company!"

"He's not your boyfriend, just a colleague?" Amelia looked puzzled as she turned to Daniel. "Are youtwo really just coworkers?"

"What do you think?" Daniel responded cheekily.

"You've already called me cousin, so you must be her boyfriend! Did you two have a spat? Did youmake her mad? Brittany can be a bit hot-headed and stubborn, but she's a good person. You haveto be patient with her!"

Daniel deliberately maintained the misunderstanding, much to Brittany's annoyance.

"Country boy, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out myself!" Brittany stomped her foot.

With a quick sidestep, Daniel ducked behind Amelia. "Cousin, she wants to kick me out! Dosomething about her!"

"Brittany, don't be so harsh with your boyfriend!" Amelia chided her.

Worry then crossed Amelia’s face as she continued, "That Beardog works for Justin – he's definitelygone to get him. Brittany, you should take your boyfriend and leave quickly! I need to pack up andget out of here, too. Justin isn’t someone to mess with; he's in the top 10 of Martial Club United, andhe owns half the nightclubs in New York. If we've gotten on his bad side, he won't let us off easily.It's best if we go into hiding for a while."
