The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 857 Ain't No Good

Daniel dispatched the paper man without breaking a sweat.

Jax, still reeling from the scare and sitting on the ground in shock, quickly got up.

Feeling humiliated all over again, he pointed a finger at Daniel's nose and demanded, "Dumbass, were you pranking me again?"

"Jax, I didn't do anything! I just borrowed a bit of your courage to attract the three-headed paper man. Now that it's gone, you've done a great service!"

Daniel turned to Chloe and added, "Chloe, you have to give Jax credit for this! You should definitely increase his year-end bonus by at least a hundred bucks! If your team is strapped for cash, let Perry cover it."

Chloe shot him a look that was pure disbelief. "Little brat, what do you mean? Why should my dad pay for his bonus?"

"Because Perry's loaded! I'm sure a hundred bucks is pocket change for him!"

Perry quickly jumped into the conversation, grinning, "Of course! I'll reward Jax with a thousand bucks!"

Chloe was at a loss for words at her father's response.

"Dad, please don't encourage him! This little brat is just causing trouble, and you're joining him?"

"Alright, alright! I'll behave! Let's see what's really in this coffin!"

Everyone leaned in to look inside the coffin.

They found a ugly, black flower resting at the bottom.

"Is this the flower?" Chloe asked.

Daniel nodded. "Yep!"

No sooner had he spoken than Willow sprang forward like an eager dog, lunging for the flower and swallowing it whole.

After devouring the flower, she let out a satisfied belch.

Then, an incredible transformation occurred. Her pale skin took on a rosy hue, making her look like a stunning, mature beauty.

Suddenly, Chloe remembered

something and asked Daniel, "You little brat, didn't you mention that there was something called The Ring in this coffin? Where is it? I don't see it!"

"Smack!"

Daniel slapped the side of the coffin and called out, "The Ring, come forth!"

After his shout, a golden light burst from the coffin. Then, a ring, about the size of a thumb, popped out and landed in Daniel's palm.

Once it touched his skin, the golden glow vanished, leaving The Ring looking completely ordinary, like just any other ring you could replace.

Willow came closer, peering at The

Ring. She wore a look of

disappointment on her face. "This is The Ring? It looks so plain and useless! No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem special at all!"

"If you think The Ring isn't valuable then

namswer me this: if I call y

would you dare to res

Daniel teased with a grin.

"Of course I'd dare! What do I have to fear? You can call my name once, ten times, or a hundred times, and I'll answer every time!"
