The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 917

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Isla couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

“Ha!”

After her scoff, she asked, “You want to charge me less for your treatment? How much are you talking about?”

“I already mentioned it! Isla, if you let me treat you, I can fix your stomach pain in just one minute! I’ll only charge you a hundred bucks! Just to earn a bit of pocket money!”

With Daniel’s statement, Damian immediately couldn’t take it anymore.

He stood up, pointing a finger at Daniel's nose, “Who are you?”

“I’m Daniel!” Daniel replied.

“I’m asking what you do!” Damian pressed.

“Damian, are you deaf? Didn’t I just say? I can treat Isla’s stomach pain. Since I can treat her, especially with acupuncture, it naturally means I’m a doctor!”

“You? You’re a doctor? What kind of doctor are you?” Damian challenged.

“I dropped out of the second grade and then followed my master in the countryside, treating people. My master is a country doctor, and naturally, I’m a country doctor too!” Daniel responded.

Pausing for dramatic effect, Damian continued slandering Daniel, “Isla, let me warn you ahead of time, this hick, this so-called country doctor, is definitely a fraud! He will take your money! If you let him treat you, while the fee is cheap, just a hundred bucks, I guarantee that after his treatment, not only will your stomach pain not ease, but it may worsen. Worst-case scenario, you may even die from the pain! Next year this time, it could be your memorial day!”

Of course, Damian didn’t believe a country doctor’s apprentice could treat Isla’s stomach pain. But he was also acutely aware that his words were exaggerated.

He knew that no matter where Daniel learned his craft, sticking a needle into Isla wouldn’t kill her—unless he was genuinely stupid.

The worst it could possibly do was create a little puncture or make her bleed a bit.

By framing things so seriously, Damian aimed to intimidate Isla to create a sense of urgency, making her believe her stomach pain was severe, thus justifying his outlandish fees!
