The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 293

"Emily, are you saying you want the Hayes brothers to be released so they can continue plaguing our family? So Greenfield can keep suffering under that coal mine? So the villagers can keep getting cancer?" Brittany challenged.

Emily responded with a cold, mocking laugh. "Heh!" After her laugh, she added, "I'm stating facts. The Hayes brothers will definitely be set free! And do you think Liam is a good person? Haven't these things happened before?"

Their argument irked Oliver, especially on his eightieth birthday. "Today's my birthday, and you two can't stop bickering? Look at this mess. If you're energetic enough to argue, why don't you help clean up instead?" After scolding his granddaughters, Oliver got up with his cane and limped towards another room.

Suddenly, Brittany remembered something. "Grandpa, wait!"

Stopped by his granddaughter, Oliver asked impatiently, "What now?"

"How's your leg feeling?"

"Can't you see for yourself?"

"Well, the country boy knows a bit of medicine; how about letting him take a look? I brought him back this time to help with your leg."

Hearing Brittany trying to impress their grandfather again, Emily scoffed mockingly, "Heh!" Then, with a dismissive tone, she said, "That country boy knows medicine? I don't think so. If city hospitals couldn't fix it, what could a country kid possibly do? Grandpa can still walk a few steps with a cane; if you let this country boy treat him, I fear he won't be able to walk at all and will end up in a wheelchair."

"Why don’t you try it and see if I'm pranking you?" Daniel retorted.

Desperate to relieve the itch, Emily shouted at Mason, "This is all your fault! Get me some cow dung now!"

"Okay!" Mason rushed off to fetch the dung.

Once Mason returned with the cow dung, Emily tentatively applied a dab to her face. The itching subsided with a cooling sensation, so, ignoring the odor, she quickly covered her face with it.
