Chapter 482 Avery
The Understated Dragon Lord
No sooner had Porkâs words left his mouth than Kindâs legs suddenly jerked like a frogâs, vigorously
kicking once. His body even leaped a bit. Had it not been for Daniel's anticipation and quick hold on
him, Kind's kick would likely have sent him flying off the bed.
"Uncle, how about that? Frog's kick, huh?" Daniel said cheerfully.
Irritated, Jessica reached out and twisted Daniel's waist forcefully.
"Ah!" Daniel let out a cry of pain and then took a sharp breath.
"Honey, why'd you twist me?" he asked.
"For your frog's kick! Go ahead and give me one!" she demanded, giving him a stern look and
threatening, "Idiot, if you spout nonsense again, I'll twist you to death!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. The first needle is really called 'frog's kick.' The second one I'm about to
use is called 'dead fish eyes roll.' If you donât let me proceed, then I'll just have to stop and not save
Grandpa. Weâll just leave him here to... pass."
Daniel's words had an underlying message that the perceptive Professor John immediately caught
on to. He jumped into the conversation mockingly.
"You country bumpkin, you're just a little scam artist, aren't you?" scoffed the professor. "That
needle you stuck in earlier, this 'frog's kick,' was just stimulating the patient's nerves; you haven't
actually revived him. If you did bring him back to life, requiring vital signs to reappear, why are all
these monitor readings still showing zeros?"
Professor Johnâs statement was a wake-up call, snapping all those present back to their senses.
Pork, who had been confused, now suddenly understood.
Professor John had declared the old man dead, and the machines were corroborating his judgment.
This country boy claimed the old man wasn't gone yet, that he could actually save him? Pork surely
didn't believe Danielâs words, convinced that this country boy must be lying, putting on some trick.
To reverse the embarrassment of his earlier defeat, Pork allowed himself a cold chuckle. "Heh," he
sneered condescendingly. "Country boy, youâre bringing your village tricks here, thinking we the
Matthews are fools? Let me tell you, my aunt is the smartest woman in the world; you can't deceive
her! Disrespecting her father's body in her presence, she wonât let you off lightly!"
Pork, cunning as he was, deliberately brought Avery into the mix. He was attempting to use Avery to
tackle Daniel!
Although Avery realized her nephew was up to no good, she felt the need to defend her dignity. She
frowned and turned to Daniel.
"Country boy, didn't you say you could revive him? Whatâs going on then? Why are all the numbers
on the monitor still zero? And the lines, why are they all flat without any waves?"
"Mom, donât panic! You women always get anxious so easily. I've only done the first needle; I
haven't even started the second one yet! There are seven needles in The Seven Dragon Divine
Needles technique. After all seven are inserted, I assure you Grandpa will quickly regain his health!"
"Dead fish eyes roll? You despicable thing, if you disrespect the old man again, Iâll do more than
twist you!"
