Chapter 100
The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 100 Riverâs Reputation
Daniel, still smiling, turned to Isabella first and asked, âIsabella, has the three minutes passed?â
âItâs been five minutes already.â
Upon receiving Isabellaâs answer, Daniel immediately turned to River. âElysian Yu, youâve heard it! Five minutes have passed, and Iâm not dead! What does that mean? It means I wasnât lying!â
River was shocked. He looked at Daniel, hardly able to believe that the fool before him hadnât died. Not only was Daniel not dead, but he also seemed to be perfectly fine.
Riverâs centipede curse had never failed in decades â how could such a horrific curse not claim this foolâs
life?
âElysian Yu, surprised I didnât die, right?â Daniel presented his shoulder to River. âWhy donât you pat me on the shoulder again; maybe this time your curse will work?â
âYouâre spouting nonsense? Who cursed you? I never curse people.â
âThen why did you pat my shoulder just now?â
âI 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?â
Isabella stepped forward and faced River. âElysian Yu, you said if Daniel was lying, heâd be violently dead within three minutes. Now, heâs fine. Donât you think you owe us an explanation?â
âMiss Isabella, what I said was merely a joke; I wasnât serious.â
âA joke? I wasnât aware that Elysian Yu had a sense of humor. Then I must ask seriously, when you said
my father wasnât cursed, were you jokingâ
âChris was certainly not cursed. Since this fool claims he was, you can let him dispel the curse afflicting your father. If he canât do it, doesnât that prove this idiot is lying?â
River had placed a pair of centipedes inside Chrisâs 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 Chrisâs body! Even if Daniel were to open Chris up, he would never be able to find the two centipedes!
Although River was known as Floridaâs top doctor, he was actually Floridaâs 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. Heâd 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
Riverâs curses.
Chapter 100 Rivers Reputation
Within the circle of curse masters in Florida, thereâs an unspoken rule. Whoever discovers a cursed
patient must claim to be unable to cure them and then suggest the patientâs family seek the services of
Floridaâs number one doctor, Elysian Yu.
Riverâs reputation as the top doctor was gradually built this way. He was an expert in various curses. As for his medical skills, while he did possess some knowledge, he was only of average ability.
