The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 984

Before Grant could respond, Daniel kept going.

“Look at me from head to toe. My look, my vibe—I’m just a country doctor! Magic is so complicated, and there’s no way I could do it. I’m definitely not a wizard!”

“Country bumpkin! If you’re not a wizard, then how come my stomach hurts? How could I embarrass myself in public like that? It has to be you who poisoned me. You’re trying to ruin my life! You're a wicked sorcerer!” Grant spat out, his accusation filled with anger.

Daniel let out a cold laugh at Grant's ridiculous claims.

“Ha!”

After the laugh, he replied casually, “Grant, the reason your stomach hurts, and why you made a scene earlier, isn't because I poisoned you. I’m not a wizard and I have no idea how to poison anyone. No, what’s happening is that you’re suffering a bit of divine retribution. Because you refuse to accept defeat, this is God’s way of punishing you! If you kneel and apologize, you’ll be fine. But if you keep this stubborn act up, God’s punishment will only get worse, and you’ll find yourself in an even more embarrassing situation.”

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Grant felt another twinge in his stomach. Feeling it was time to react, he shot Daniel a furious glare and demanded, “You’re trying to poison me again, aren’t you?”

“Ha!”

After smirking dismissively at Grant, Daniel grinned, “Before this betting started, before tonight’s Jade Gambling began, I told you, Grant. By the end of tonight, I’m aiming to win at least 800 million, maybe even a billion from you. So far, I’ve only won 80 million, which is just a tenth of my goal. My mission tonight is to win at least 800 to 1,000 million from you! So, I’m still going to buy those original stones you’ve got. What just happened was just a warm-up. Next, I’m going for something big because I want to make sure I leave you seething!”

Daniel’s words hit Grant like a wild joke, and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
