The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 834 Stubbornness

Bang!

A single shot could end it all, leaving nothing but shattered skull. Smart Jax knew exactly what he was doing on this mission with Chloe; he was here to earn his bonus, not to lose his life. Sensing danger, his instinctive choice was to stay in the back. If anyone had to die, he'd make sure he was the last.

"Jax, are you sure you want to be the last one?" Daniel asked, still with a grin on his face.

"Absolutely! The last position is the most dangerous. As the most experienced member of the team, the most dangerous task should naturally fall to me! Those bandits are very cunning. Once they realize we're in the cave, they'll likely try to circle behind us for a sneak attack. But you can trust me to cover our backs. If I'm at the rear, I'll make sure no harm comes to any of you from behind."

Jax spoke with such fervor, as if he were a hero ready to face any danger, taking it all upon himself.

"Jax, you're right, the last position is dangerous, but the danger isn't necessarily from the bandits. Or yes, it is from them, considering one of them is the Evil Raiser," Daniel said, leaving Jax puzzled. "What's your point, dumbass?" Jax asked, curious.

"I mean, the bandits are at the deepest part of the cave; they can't

circle behind us as the path has no branches But Evil Raiser can control ghosts, Ghosts have a nasty habit of attacking from behind. So, Jax, if you're at the back, and we encounter a ghost, it'll go for you first."

Daniel spoke nothing but the truth, but his words earned a sarcastic laugh from Jax.

"Heh!"

After laughing, Jax scoffed,

"Troublemaker, I don't believe in your

spooky

s. There are no such

things as ghosts! How could a ghost

attack me?"

"Jax, remember, the black hoof is still here! If ghosts don't exist, how do you explain this hoof?" Daniel asked.

"Troublemaker, you probably

understand the trick behind the black hoof better than I do. I didn't want to expose you, but since you insist, I'll lay it out. This black hoofds

just another one of your stuloe!

You're trying to fool innocent.

I'm not sure how you pulled off, but debunking it isn't hard only need to take this black hoof back and dissect it. I'll replace out how it can talk! My guess is it's something you planted in those buildings, perhaps filled with high-tech gadgets."
