Chapter 522 Wine Palace

The more she thought about it, the more Manly felt insulted. It was a disgrace!

Tonight, there was no way she would let this country bumpkin walk out of Big Dipper alive! Even if he managed to leave without taking that four hundred billion, tonight’s events would leave a permanent stain on Manly's reputation!

Just then, a faint scent of alcohol wafted over to them.

Even without tasting it, Daniel—with his keen sense of smell, sharper than a dog's—could tell something was off just by sniffing the aroma.

“This isn't just any ordinary alcohol!” Daniel realized.

Though they hadn't reached the second challenge yet, Daniel seemed to have figured it out, and with a grin, he asked Manly, “Hey, you aren't planning to try and get me drunk as the second challenge, are you?”

“My sixth brother Finn Hall's a real boozehound. His homemade brew is so strong, a single drop could knock out a bull. Your challenge is straightforward: drink him under the table. Of course, if you're scared, you still have a chance to back out now!”

“Manly, something’s off with you.”

“What do you mean ‘off’?”

“Keep on teasing, saying I don’t have the guts. Are you trying to provoke me, to make me prove I've got what it takes? But careful, if I do prove it, you might end up with twins on the first shot!”

“Twins? What's that mean?”

“It means one shot, double the prize!”

“Get outta here! Blabber nonsense like that again and I'll tear your mouth apart!”

With Manly’s fierce threat, Daniel shut up.

This idiot, daring to hit on another woman right in front of her? Beauty couldn't stand it.

Without warning, she reached out and pinched Daniel's waist fiercely.

“Ouch! Stop it!”

Jealousy made Beauty pinch without holding back, using all her strength.

“Why are you pinching me?”

“Because I feel like it! I'll pinch you to death, you jerk!”

...

Manly led them to a tavern, its entrance emblazoned with two glittering gold letters – Wine Palace!

Well, that was a unique name, to be sure. Before stepping in, Manly coyly twirled a lock of hair around her finger and asked Daniel, “You know the story behind the name 'Wine Palace'?”

“Nope, do tell!”

“Wine Palace, this is the palace of liquor. Many people have come here to challenge the owner, but they all failed. Not a single soul has walked out alive.”

After Manly explained, Daniel understood why he felt a strange chill as they approached Wine Palace. The souls of those who died drinking were trapped here, haunting the place!

“And their bodies?” Daniel asked, filled with morbid curiosity.

“Their bodies? They’re used to brew more liquor, of course!”
