The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 221

Ryan approached Daniel with a sense of urgency. "Daniel, we can't let Woods become the president of Martial Club United! He will act without restraint if he does."

Having witnessed Woods's formidable abilities, Jessica naturally wouldn't allow Daniel to enter the ring. That was her man up for grabs, and she couldn't bear any threats to him. She flatly refused.

"Ryan, who heads Martial Club United is your affair. Daniel's my assistant, and I absolutely forbid him from getting involved in this!"

As she spoke, Jessica turned her gaze sharply to Daniel. "If you dare go up there, I'll break your legs myself!"

Ryan could only look at Daniel with a plea in his eyes, hoping he would ignore Jessica's commands this time. At the same time, he regretted ever sending that invitation. He shouldn't have given it to Jessica; he should've asked Daniel directly.

Women, especially pretty ones, just end up causing trouble, he thought bitterly.

"You can stop looking at me, Ryan! I can’t help you! I dare not disobey Jessica’s words. If I do, she might actually break my legs—or worse, I might end up sleeping on the couch tonight."

Sleep on the couch? Ryan immediately understood the gist of what Daniel was implying. He had long suspected that the relationship between Daniel and Jessica was not simply that of president and assistant, and now he could confirm that Daniel was no ordinary assistant – he was under 24-hour surveillance.

With a playful stick out of her tongue, Brittany fell silent, no longer provoking the discussion.

Failing to get Daniel's consent, Ryan reluctantly stepped onto the stage himself. As he went up, Woods immediately began to mock him, "Hey, isn't this the former president of Martial Club United? Aren't you too old to fight?"

Ryan replied coolly, giving Woods a chilly stare, "Whether I can still fight, you'll soon find out. Martial Club United is an alliance of just warriors, and you must not become the president here!"
