The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 484

Joshua’s compliments rendered everyone present speechless, including Jessica.

"Heh," Pork offered his signature cold laugh, breaking the silence. "Joshua, how much did this country bumpkin pay you to act? You're really praising him to the skies. Don't you feel any shame in praising him so falsely?"

"Pork, every word I said about my master came from the bottom of my heart. I stand by what I said, and my conscience is clear. Unlike you, who has tried to stop my master from saving your grandfather several times. Are you hoping your grandpa doesn't get revived? Even if he passes, as his grandson, you wouldn't be next in line for The Matthews' headship, would you?" Joshua revealed his biting wit, leaving Pork speechless.

"Joshua, please stop spreading nonsense! How could I want my grandpa to die? The thing is, this country bumpkin is obviously a charlatan! He’s not treating; he's disrespecting my grandpa’s body! He claimed his second needle would make my grandpa's eyes roll. Look at him, did his eyes roll?"

No sooner had Pork made his point than Kind’s eyes indeed rolled back, leaving no face for Pork as Kind's grandson.

"His eyes rolled! Grandpa’s eyes rolled!" Beauty exclaimed, dancing with excitement. Everyone knew that Kind was especially fond of his granddaughter Beauty, the most beloved grandchild in The Matthews family.

"Only dead people's eyes roll; that's not a good thing!" Professor John added, seemingly undermining the possibility of recovery. He was considered the world's leading doctor – how could someone he declared dead be revived? He had spent decades developing a new drug and yet failed to save Kind. How could a country boy haphazardly sticking needles bring him back? Impossible! That was absolutely out of the question.

As for traditional healing, he viewed it as charlatanism, mere trickery used by con artists to deceive the naive.

Regarding Daniel's comment directed at him, Professor John retorted: "Daniel, is your jealousy or worry showing? Are you afraid that I might actually revive the patient, humiliating you if I bring him back to perfect health?"

"You little charlatan, your petty tricks are just for show," the Professor shot back. "Healing is about science! It's not about randomly sticking needles into someone and bringing them back to life. As for this 'eyes roll' business, it's nothing but you using some unknown and despicable methods to trigger the patient's nerves, making his eyelids twitch."

To prove his point and to fully expose Daniel's lies, Professor John once again pointed to the monitors, urging everyone to take heed.
