Chapter 400 Beauty's Plan

Seeing that he and his men were no match for this country boy on their own, Soldier gesturedangrily to his team, "Brothers, get him! Take down this country bumpkin!"

As the group lunged at Daniel, Beauty quickly intervened, "Even though this country boy isdetestable, he's still my cousin's assistant. When you strike, make sure you don't go too far and killhim."

Beauty's line in the sand was not to kill Daniel. While as a lady of The Matthews, taking a countryboy's life wouldn't be a big deal, she couldn't justify it to Jessica if Daniel were to die.

Moreover, Beauty wasn't looking for Daniel's demise. She just wanted to teach him a lesson, tomake him understand that he couldn't meddle with The Matthews family in New York. She intendedto beat him half to death, best if he was left disabled, and then have him leave New York forever,disappearing from Jessica's life completely.

Of course, being a person of high standing, Beauty planned to provide Daniel with financialcompensation, allowing him to live a carefree life—in a wheelchair, but still carefree and wellprovided for.

The dozens of men, all elite commandos skilled in combat, could each take on ten at a time. Asthey converged on Daniel, their aggression was no challenge for him. Without moving a step, hesent each attacker flying with left and right strikes. In less than three minutes, all of the commandowarriors who had surrounded him were sprawled on the ground.

Beauty was utterly shocked. Looking at Daniel with disbelief, she asked, "How can you fight likethat?"

"I can do more than just fight," Daniel replied cheekily, "I can also handle you."

"Shameless! Get lost!" she cursed.

Beauty pondered internally. No wonder Jessica fancied this country boy; regardless of whether theirmarriage was real or fake, she did have feelings for him. Daniel seemed just like a simple countrybumpkin, but now, it was obvious there was more to him. Soldier and his men, veterans from thebattlefield, could handle gunfire and explosions; none of them were pushovers. If even a mastermartial artist might struggle against such numbers, Daniel's effortless victory was astonishing.

Despite his young age, his remarkable combat skills indeed made him a talent. Beauty couldn’t helpwondering: could she be developing feelings for this guy? After all, he was just a country kid whodidn't deserve her affection. Yet, given his extraordinary strength, maybe she could give him achance, like driving for her or even being her bodyguard.

Still, this one test wasn't enough. To be considered for such a position, the country boy would haveto pass far harsher trials. Only then could she present such an opportunity to him.

Seeing Soldier lying defeated on the ground, Beauty's face filled with disdain as she scolded theincapable squad: "What a waste! A bunch of wastes!"
