The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 476

Pork scoffed with disdain. "You, a country bumpkin, dare to call me Grandpa? And you think you can save him? Claiming only you can bring him back to life? You might not have any real skills, country boy, but you sure know how to blow your own horn!"

Daniel paid no mind to Pork's mockery and got ready to use the "Seven Dragon Needle" on Kind's wrist.

But before the needle could reach its target, Pork grabbed Daniel's wrist.

"What do you think you're doing, country boy?" Pork snapped.

"Uncle, have you forgotten what I just said? I told you, I'm going to save Grandpa's life!"

"You think you can fool us with your nonsense, bringing magic tricks here? And you believe you can revive Grandpa? I bet you've got some ulterior motive. What do you think you're doing, poking around on his body with those needles? Are you up to something bad? Are you planning a sacrifice?"

The accusation was wild and far-fetched, but Pork was sure Daniel was up to no good.

"A sacrifice? You think I'm planning to sacrifice Grandpa? Even if I were into sacrificing people, I'd pick someone young. But Grandpa? He's a war hero, a man of great honor and spirit. Not exactly prime material for a sacrifice."

"Aha! Got you, didn’t I? You're clearly up to no good, trying to offer Grandpa to the demons!"

Daniel just rolled his eyes in frustration, staying quiet, which made Pork all the more triumphant.

"Look Avery, the country boy's gone silent – must've hit the nail on the head! How dare he bring such evils to The Matthews' doorstep? If I don’t show him his place and teach him a lesson, he might think we're pushovers!"

Avery turned to Daniel with a fierce look. "What's your actual plan, country boy? Are you seriously trying to sacrifice Dad with that tiny needle?"

"Mom, do you really think I would do that? Didn't I explain before? I'm going to save Grandpa with acupuncture!"

"Do you actually know medicine?" Avery asked, still skeptical.

"Of course, I do!" Daniel replied, then added confidently, "That famous doctor Joshua from the US even wants to be my apprentice! He's called me 'master' before, but I haven't formally agreed to take him on as my student yet."

To prove his medical skills, Daniel had no choice but to bring up Joshua.

Down burst out laughing. "You're saying what now? Joshua called you 'master'? Aren’t you exaggerating a bit too much? You do know Bright is Joshua's student, right? If you were Joshua's master, wouldn't Bright have to call you Grandmaster? But you've been here all this time, and I haven’t heard Bright call you that. In fact, Bright doesn't even seem to recognize you!"

Down's words seemed logical, making everyone in the room believe his version.

Immediately Avery glared fiercely at Daniel and reprimanded, "Country boy, if you're going to boast, at least make it believable, okay?"
