The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 489

"Hurry up and save Grandpa! Stop making excuses! If by the end of today you haven't saved Grandpa, see how I'll deal with you?"

"Saving Grandpa is easy, but the weather is wrong now. We need to create the right conditions," Daniel replied.

His remark utterly confused Jessica. She looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Create weather? How?"

"To awaken Grandpa, we need to shock his soul, and that requires a bolt of lightning! For the ceremony I need to perform, I require a hen. So, I need a hen, and it shouldn't be too much to ask for – just three years old will do. Additionally, the hen must be free-range, not raised in a coop."

"Idiot, are you bossing me around again?"

"If I don't boss you around, who will I boss? I can't boss Mom, and Uncle Pork isn't someone I can order around. And Beauty? I wouldn't dare boss her around."

"You..."

Jessica glared at Daniel and warned with a growl, "I’ll get someone to find your hen, but if you can't save Grandpa later on, see how I'll deal with you."

"And how will you deal with me?" Daniel asked curiously.

"How? I'll cook you and the hen together in a pot!"

"Cook us together? Honey, are you craving chicken soup?"

"Stop yapping and act serious. If you aren't serious, I swear I’ll twist you to death!"

After threatening Daniel once more, Jessica made a phone call. Soon after, a hen was delivered to the emergency room.

Daniel took the hen and scrutinized it closely.

"I need a pen and paper, and vodka too."

"You..."

Jessica was speechless.

Still, she managed to ask patiently, "Are you treating someone or doing something else?"

"I'm not playing any tricks! I'm appealing to the heavens! If we don't pay proper respect, how can we expect the angels to help us? Angels are not so easy to deal with. If I want the angels to do us a favor, these rites are necessary."

Daniel's explanation, naturally, provoked another cold sneer from Pork.

"Heh," Pork scoffed.
