The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 979

Daniel continued, “If you lie about being a good doctor, you’ll face God’s punishment. God hears every word you say!”

“Ha!” Damian sneered, brushing Daniel off. “You’re just some small-town doc. I’m not buying into your wild tales!”

But the moment he finished speaking, his stomach suddenly hurt, catching him off guard.

“Oh... ow!” Damian clutched his belly and began to wail.

Seeing this, Daniel hurried over, chuckling as he asked, “So, how’s that lying working out for you? Your stomach’s hurting now, right? Feels pretty awful doesn’t it?”

“What did you do to me? This has to be your fault! Are you some kind of witch? Did you send worms into my stomach?!”

“Come on, Damian! You need proof to make those claims! If you believe I sent worms, then show me the worms! If you can’t, that means you’re just spreading lies and slandering me!”

“If you hadn’t done something, how could my stomach be hurting so much?”

“Your pain is because you lied, Damian! I told you lying brings God’s punishment! You pretended to be a good doctor, but let’s be honest—you’re just a fraud!”

“Stop it with your nonsense! I’m a good doctor!” Damian shot back.

“Well, if you’re such a great doctor, then you should easily be able to treat your own pain. How could you call yourself a good doctor if you can’t fix your own stomach ache?” Daniel challenged. “Doesn’t that sound a bit humiliating?”

“Who says I can’t treat myself? It’s just a stomach ache! I can handle it!”

Damian grabbed his acupuncture needles and started pricking himself on the elbow. He jabbed three times in a row. Instead of relief, the pain in his stomach only intensified with each needle.

“It feels like my insides are being shredded! What’s going on?” he cried out in agony.

“Damian, it’s not me; it’s God’s punishment you’re dealing with. To end this punishment, just tell the truth: are you really a good doctor?”
