The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 640

It shouldn't have been like this, should it?

As a puzzled Theodore began to question why his attack had no effect, Daniel spoke up with evident amusement, “Were you trying to tase me?”

“Country bumpkin, why didn’t it affect you?” Theodore couldn't hide his astonishment.

“Because I'm tough. The current you're using is too weak to zap me. If you really want to make it work, you should turn it up a bit! Aren't tasers rechargeable and electricity pretty cheap these days? You want to tase me, surely you wouldn’t mind a bit more on your electric bill?”

Although Daniel's words came across as banter, Theodore took them to heart.

The country bumpkin was so resilient that a taser set on the lowest mode had no effect?

No matter! If the first setting didn't work, Theodore decided he would just ratchet it up.

To prevent Daniel from changing his mind, Theodore taunted, “If you’ve got the guts, country bumpkin, don't let go. I'm going to crank this up and tase you to death!”

“Second setting? That won't kill me. Try it if you don't believe me!” Daniel replied cheerily, his grip on the taser not wavering. He wasn’t even phased by the current—high-voltage wires wouldn't faze him, even if they struck from above.

Theodore, with a slight twist of the knob, increased the taser to the second mode, but Daniel still didn’t react.

Watching Theodore’s confusion, Daniel chuckled, “You did turn it to the second mode, right?”

“Of course, I did.”
