Chapter 704 Not Worth Mentioning

Daniel wore a look of disdain.

What was The Perkins to him, after all? Just the firstling family of the USA?

If he, Daniel, wished it, he could wipe The Perkins off the map at any moment. After all, he was the Son of the Seven Dragons, destined to become The Lord of the Seven Dragons, ruler over the nine realms. To him, The Lord of the Seven Dragons, The Perkins was nothing but an insignificant ant, not worth mentioning.

Just then, a wonderful aroma wafted from the campfire. It was the scent of the roasting chicken. The smell alone was enough to make Beauty, already starving, start salivating.

"Country boy, is the chicken ready yet? Take it out; I'm famished!" implored Beauty, eager as if she feared missing out on the feast.

"Done? Probably needs a bit longer. Right now, it's about 99% cooked, just 1% shy of perfection."

"Stop the nonsense; the chicken is ready to eat."

"Sure it's edible, but missing that final 1% makes a huge difference. So, Beauty, don't rush. Impatience won't get you a super delicious roast chicken. Hold your horses, now. If you're really hungry, I could offer you something else to nibble on."

With that rather suggestive comment, Daniel gave a meaningful glance downward. Beauty, being sharp, knew all too well that this rascal would never stop hitting on women. She caught on immediately to his indecent hint.

"Country boy, keep up these dirty jokes, and believe me, I'll snip off your bits," Beauty threatened, making a scissor motion with her hand towards Daniel's lower regions.

It was both a warning and a threat-but, of course, all talk. After all, even if Beauty had a pair of shears, she wouldn't have the heart to actually go through with it.

Seeing Victoria at a distance, and with Smart and Easton busy and not paying attention, Beauty suddenly lashed out with a claw towards Daniel. The woman was a force of nature!

She was pure, undiluted violence!

"Get the chicken out, now. I'm starved," she commanded gruffly.

"Well, since you've already grabbed hold of my business, why don't you reach down and help yourself! No one's looking this way-take a secret nibble, and no one will know."

"I'll thump you, you ass!"

Enraged, Beauty gave him a fierce pinch.

The pain made Daniel immediately relent.

"Alright, alright, I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Only when Daniel began poking around the fire with a stick to retrieve the roasted chicken did Beauty reluctantly let go.

She didn't know why, but whenever they were alone, she felt this urge to reach for Daniel's... well, for novelty's sake, of course! Yes, for the fun of it!

She certainly didn't like it, oh no!

How could she? She was a proper girl; why would she fancy such a thing?

It was yucky!

Utterly revolting!

She would never, ever go for Daniel's... never!

Lost in her musings, Beauty's imagination took off running, growing more vivid by the second The more she thought, the more she blushed, and soon her cheeks were

painted with a delicate shade of pink.

Daniel, with his sharp eyes, continued to tap away at the crust of mud of the chicken while secretly

admiring the pretty flush on the

beauty by his side.
