The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 634

“Retard, your face is darkening. If you forsake your conscience, calamity will surely follow.”

“You're the one who'll face disaster!”

“Why won't you believe me, Retard? I'm quite the fortune teller. I've even predicted when the old sow in our village would have piglets, and I was spot-on every time! When I say your face is dark with serious misfortune, I'm not kidding or joking. If you don’t believe me, so be it. After all, it’s your skin that’ll suffer, not mine! Of course, if you come to me, perhaps I’ll consider forgiving and forgetting, and I might help you out. But this bloodshed in your future isn’t a one-time affair; it's continuous, countless times. Although it won't kill you, at the very least it could leave you disabled.”

Daniel’s words weren't nonsense or a joke. Smart’s face was indeed turning dark and shiny. The darkness wasn’t due to fate but because someone had hexed him with voodoo. Daniel simply mentioned it; whether Smart would consult him about it later was Smart’s decision.

“Country bumpkin, stop spouting nonsense here! You think by talking garbage, you can weasel out of our bet? I’ve still got three votes, and you’re definitely going to lose. After you lose, you’re going to crawl on the floor like a dog and lick up the spilled wine until it’s gone!”

“Since three votes remain, let's not waste more time here. The remaining three ladies, drink together, then vote together!”

“Fine! Let’s get your defeat over with quickly.”

Smart glanced over the three women and reminded them coldly, “Drink it well. And afterward, cast your vote well.”

“Yes, Sir!”

“Don’t worry, sir. I won’t disappoint you!”

“Sir, don’t fret, I know what to do. I’m not one of those immoral bitches who bites the hand that feeds them, forgets their masters, and lacks integrity!”

The women’s affirmations pleased Smart greatly, and his previously anxious heart relaxed. With their resolute attitudes, there was no chance of betrayal.

So, Smart, with an imperious gesture, commanded, “Drink! After you finish the country bumpkin’s cocktail, cast your vote for me.”

“Yes, Sir!” the three women answered in unison.

Although they were still in the midst of drinking and hadn't started voting yet, Smart felt like he had already won. With a confident air, he said to Daniel,

“Country bumpkin, were you just feeling happy and smug? Those first two votes—I let you win them on purpose. I knew those treacherous women would betray me. It’s far more satisfying to let you think you’re winning and then turn the tables 3 to 2, watching you plummet from heaven to hell. The feeling is simply too good! Hahaha…”

“Betrayal is infectious. Once there’s a first, a second will follow. After the second, there will come a third, a fourth, a fifth…”
