Amelia, after tasting the lobster prepared by Daniel, requested that he teach her how he made it. Daniel, of course, didn't hesitate to share. He guided her through each step with a hands-on approach. Amelia, being a sharp woman, caught on quickly. Daniel taught her once, and she mastered nearly eighty percent of the technique.
In the room, three plates of lobster were laid out on the table. One was Amelia’s initial attempt, one was Daniel’s creation, and one was Amelia’s second try after learning from Daniel. Naturally, the best-tasting plate was the one Daniel had prepared, which Brittany promptly claimed and set before herself.
The three of them were eating lobster and drinking, enjoying the moment when suddenly...
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the door burst open. Beardog was back, followed by several men dressed in training outfits, each emblazoned with a snarling leopard’s head – the emblem of the Black Panther Club.
Amelia spoke coldly, "Beardog, what brings you back? Didn’t you get enough beating just now?"
With Daniel present, Amelia’s fear of Beardog had vanished. After all, a woman's confidence often comes from the man by her side. If it weren't because Brittany was her cousin, Amelia might actually be tempted to snatch Daniel away. She couldn't help but wish to freeze time during those moments Daniel was teaching her in the kitchen; her heartbeat racing with excitement.
Daniel casually continued peeling his lobster, replying with a chuckle. "I don’t care. If you think you’re as tough as you claim, make me. And about this Justin you keep mentioning—he can't help you. Because even if Justin shows up, he’ll have to kneel before me, sincerely apologize, and peel these lobsters for me."
Daniel's words enraged Alexander Brown, standing in Beardog's wake. Alexander, Justin’s favorite and the club's number two, had never seen Daniel and immediately stepped forward, pointing at Daniel with a fierce tone.
"Country boy, what did you just say? You have the audacity to claim Justin will kneel before you and peel lobster for you? Do you even comprehend the gravity of your words?"
