The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 19 Kneel Down? He’s Not Worthy 

Kneel before a nobody? In the presence of so many people, to kneel to a nobody from the countryside? The mere thought of such a 

shameful and ridiculous act was beyond Jennifer’s acceptance, and 

naturally, Andrew was not willing either. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Observing their inaction, Joshua grew impatient. “Why haven’t you 

knelt yet to apologize to Master Danjel?” 

“Kneel? Why should we kneel? I’m a president; am I supposed to kneel to some nobody? Is he worth it?” 

“You wronged Master Daniel, and you must honor your earlier promise by kneeling and apologizing.” 

“He’s just a fool from the countryside. Even if I wronged him, that would be due to the good fortune of encountering me. Now that he has been proven innocent, if he knows what’s good for him, he should be the one kneeling down to thank me!” 

Andrew also stepped forward. “Master Joshua, neither Jennifer nor I, members of Delvin Hub’s high society, can accept kneeling to a 

nobody. We’ve already proven his innocence, which should be counted as a mercy. Further insistence on this matter is disrespectful to you, Master Joshua!” 

To this, Andrew turned to Daniel and scolded, “Why are you still standing there? Kneel down at once to thank Master Joshua! His intervention is what cleared your name!” 

Andrew was smarter than Jennifer. He knew it would not be realistic

to make Daniel kneel to him, so he plotted to make Daniel kneel to Joshua instead. By positioning himself beside Joshua, if Daniel 

kneeled to Joshua, it would be as good as kneeling to him–an expression of wisdom in Andrew’s view. 

The shameless act by both Jennifer and Andrew shocked and angered Joshua. “You two are utterly disgraceful! I swear, if neither of you kneel before Master Daniel to apologize, I will issue an order to blacklist both your families! No enterprise that does business with The Grants shall have any dealings with your two families!” 

Their faces white with fear, Jennifer and Andrew were stunned by 

Joshua’s words. The Grants had never blacklisted anyone. Now, for a nobody, Joshua was threatening to blacklist their family businesses? 

With The Grants‘ wealth rivaled that of nations and their fingers in every pie, Delvin Hub’s major corporations all had business ties with The Grants. If blacklisted, bankruptcy was inevitable. 

Andrew shot Daniel a venomous glare, longing to devour him alive. Then, after a brief thought, it dawned on him. Joshua’s actions were not because he valued this nobody but to demonstrate his power. Joshua had said from the start that he was merely a notary public. Now that the truth was clear, if he and Jennifer did not kneel, it would mean disrespect to Joshua! With this realization, the humiliation of kneeling became somehow less disgraceful – not bowing to Daniel but to the power that Joshua wielded. 

Once Joshua left, Andrew resolved to seek retribution from Daniel for any dignity lost today. Daniel was just a nobody; how could he dare make him kneel?
