The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 978

Daniel paused for a moment before adding, “You know, God loves honest people, and I’m one of those honest guys. So, surely God must look out for me! That means, if anyone tries to cheat me, they’re gonna face God’s wrath. That’s God’s way of protecting good people like me. After all, this world seems to pick on honest folks, and I think God can’t stand it. So, He takes extra care of someone like me!”

Hearing Daniel brag like this, Aaron couldn't help but scoff, “Ha!”

After his little laugh, Aaron replied, “You think you’re the only honest guy? Come on, there are plenty of dishonest people in this world!”

“I’m telling you, I’m the honest one! Just take a look at me—every part of me is as honest as can be, no matter how you look at me!”

Aaron’s stomach started to ache again. The pain hit him in waves, making him double over. He clutched his stomach and began to moan, rolling around on the floor.

“Damian, help me out here! I can’t take this pain anymore! You’ve got to keep treating me!”

Damian just stood there, frozen without a clue about what to do next.

But Daniel jumped in again, grinning as he suggested, “Well, Damian’s got his own problems. He just lied to Aaron and got caught by God. Now he’s about to pay for it because his stomach’s gonna start hurting too. But hey, God’s giving Damian a chance to redeem himself. If he answers honestly, maybe God will spare him. But if he lies again—even just a little—God won’t let that slide. He’ll make his stomach hurt like it’s being torn apart by a thousand insects, even worse than Aaron’s pain!”

Daniel turned to Damian with a bright smile, “So, Damian, are you really a good doctor?”

“Of course! Who’d dare question my skills?” Damian shot back, “I’m a fantastic doctor! That’s a fact you can’t argue with!”

“Make sure you think carefully! God’s watching. If you lie, your stomach will hurt just like Aaron’s,” Daniel warned. “You’ve seen Aaron rolling on the ground in agony. You wouldn’t want to go through that too, right? But hey, if you really want to experience that pain, be my guest. It’s your stomach suffering, not mine!”

Daniel was getting a kick out of this. “Let me ask you again, are you sure you’re a good doctor?”
