Brian is incorrect and He stills owes Daniel an European Trip.
To approach this case, we need to understand the concept of negative reinforcement.
Negative reinforcement is a strategy that may be used to assist in the teaching of certain behaviour. In reaction to a stimulus, something disagreeable or unpleasant is forcibly removed with negative reinforcement.
This is done with the assumption that the unpleasant behavior will be removed, the good behavior will be restored with time.
That is exactly what happened in the Case of Brain(Daniel's Father) with Daniel. He uses a negative reinforcement ( by promising Daniel a trip to Europe), If he uses the time he engages in drinking for reading.
However, at the end, Brain is obligated to fulfil his promises for Daniel as Daniel keeps his promise to study.
