The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 917 Malicious Slander



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.

"A village doctor dares to treat people here? Do you even know where you are? This is D.C., not your countryside!"

"What's wrong with D.C.? Do people

here not get sick? Do they not need

doctors to treat them? Are D.C.

residents all millionaires requiring hundreds of thousands to treat a stomachache? Can't I charge just a hundred bucks to treat a D.C. person's ailment?"

Daniel's rapid-fire questions left Damian momentarily stunned.

Once he regained composure, he sneered dismissively.

"Ha!"

After his laugh, he turned to Isla, asking, "Isla, do you really believe this hick? Are you really going to let him use his shoddy methods to treat you?"

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! you let him treat you, while the feeis 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.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

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!
