Chapter 406 Making a Bet

"If you keep talking nonsense, country kid, believe me, I'll record you and show Jessica!"

Beauty was out of options and played her trump card, knowing that this country kid feared nothingbut Jessica. The thought of it stirred a strange feeling in her heart—was it possible she wasjealous?

Daniel immediately shut up at the mention of recording for Jessica, not daring to utter another word.Beauty found his silence oddly disconcerting. Without him teasing her, she felt uneasy.

Seeking to provoke a response, she questioned him about the still chicken lying on the ground,"What's the deal with it? Why doesn't it run away when it's on the ground? Shouldn't a chicken belike you, running wild once it's free?"

"This here is a regular hen, but after meeting me, it's become a well-organized, disciplined hen. Itmoves when I say move. If I say east, it won't go west."

Before Daniel could finish, Beauty interrupted with disbelief, "Bull!"

"Bull? I don't spout bull. If you don't believe me, let me show you." Daniel pointed at the hen andcommanded cheerfully, "Walk two steps forward!"

After his order, to Beauty's utter amazement, the hen actually started walking—it took precisely twosteps forward and stopped without any extra movements.

"You actually have the hen following your commands?"

"Money can do anything, right? Commanding a hen is no big deal."

"Wow! This hen listens so well, how much did you pay it?"

"Chickens don't need money. It wants bugs, so I promised to give it some if it behaved."

Soldier couldn't suppress a sarcastic chuckle in response to Daniel's claim.

"Country kid, you sure do know how to boast! I can believe a dog might heed your call, but achicken? I've never heard of anyone training a chicken to take orders."

"Regular men can't train chickens as pets. But I, sir, am no regular man. Training chickens is myforte. Any chicken, once under my training, will become docile and obedient."

Beauty rolled her eyes at Daniel's claim, exasperatedly responding, "I never realized you were sucha rogue, country kid."

"Where am I not being serious?"

"You just are! You’re in denial! What a jerk!"

...

Envious of Beauty and Daniel's teasing banter, Soldier suddenly felt jealousy creeping in.

"Heh!"

With a mocking laugh, he broke into their conversation and challenged Daniel, "Country kid, you saythat chicken listens to you, I don't buy it. How about we make a bet?"

"A bet?" Daniel looked at Soldier with a playfully shrewd gaze, intrigued by what the sly man wasproposing. "What kind of bet?"

"If you can make this chicken obey you, I’ll kneel and call you grandpa. If not, you kneel and call megrandpa!"
