The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 River’s Reputation 

Daniel, still smiling, turned to Isabella first and asked, “Isabella, has the three minutes passed?” 

“It’s been five minutes already.” 

Upon receiving Isabella’s answer, Daniel immediately turned to River. “Elysian Yu, you’ve heard it! Five minutes have passed, and I’m not dead! What does that mean? It means I wasn’t lying!” 

River was shocked. He looked at Daniel, hardly able to believe that the fool before him hadn’t died. Not only was Daniel not dead, but he also seemed to be perfectly fine. 

River’s centipede curse had never failed in decades – how could such a horrific curse not claim this fool’s 

life? 

“Elysian Yu, surprised I didn’t die, right?” Daniel presented his shoulder to River. “Why don’t you pat me on the shoulder again; maybe this time your curse will work?” 

“You’re spouting nonsense? Who cursed you? I never curse people.” 

“Then why did you pat my shoulder just now?” 

“I saw a mosquito on your shoulder, and I extended my hand to swat it away. Who knew you would twist that into an accusation that I cursed you?” 

Isabella stepped forward and faced River. “Elysian Yu, you said if Daniel was lying, he’d be violently dead within three minutes. Now, he’s fine. Don’t you think you owe us an explanation?” 

“Miss Isabella, what I said was merely a joke; I wasn’t serious.” 

“A joke? I wasn’t aware that Elysian Yu had a sense of humor. Then I must ask seriously, when you said 

my father wasn’t cursed, were you joking” 

“Chris was certainly not cursed. Since this fool claims he was, you can let him dispel the curse afflicting your father. If he can’t do it, doesn’t that prove this idiot is lying?” 

River had placed a pair of centipedes inside Chris’s stomach, nurtured for over a decade. These centipedes were not only spiritually aware but also highly intelligent. 

For decades, he had never met anyone able to dispel his centipede curse. No one other than him could ever hope to remove those centipedes from Chris’s body! Even if Daniel were to open Chris up, he would never be able to find the two centipedes! 

Although River was known as Florida’s top doctor, he was actually Florida’s number one curse master. His reputation, in fact, was built through the use of curses. 

Most prominent families in Florida had been cursed by him. He’d curse people, wait for the symptoms to manifest, and then come forward to lift the curse. His centipede curse was unbreakable. 

Twenty years ago, when he first started this practice, there were indeed those in Florida who tried to lift his curses, But everyone who attempted it died mysteriously. Since then, no one dared to attempt to lift
