The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 99 You Will Die Violently
River understood Isabellaâs intent and stroked his white beard, responding calmly,
âIf your father had been cursed, not only would I have noticed, but I could also expel the curse. This fool! is partly right; I do have some knowledge of curses.
After all, itâs impossible to practice medicine in Florida without learning about curses. However, while I know how to cast curses, I have only ever dispelled them to save my patients. I would never cast a curse
on anyone!â
Riverâs words were passionate and firm, simultaneously acknowledging his knowledge of curses and setting himself up as a noble savior.
âElysian Yu, you said if my father was cursed, youâd know and could resolve it. Yet after you treated him just now, you should be well aware of whether he was cursed, right?â
Isabellaâs question made Riverâs frosty eyebrows twitch.
After arriving, he had asked Sophia to leave so he could be alone in the room. Although Chris had already lost consciousness at the time, to be on the safe side, River had used a drug to make him even more
unconscious.
Having prepared, he then took out another centipede and placed it inside Chris. The previous curse on Chris involved a female centipede. This time, he put in a male. A male and a female together create a MaleâFemale Centipede Curse, a curse no one other than River could dispel.
Not to mention dispelling the curse, he believed nobody else in the world was capable of even
recognizing this curse.
River glanced at Daniel, this simpleâlooking countryman with nothing special about him. However, for cautionâs sake, River approached Daniel and patted his shoulder with his hand, asking coldly,
âYou claim Chris is cursed? And that Iâm responsible?â
In truth, River was attempting to curse Daniel. He had centipede eggs under his nails. As he patted Danielâs shoulder, he flicked his nails slightly, catapulting the eggs onto Danielâs neck.
âYes.â
âYouâre slandering and defaming me! I tell you, anyone who lies in my âpresence will be foaming at the mouth and drop dead within three minutes!â
The centipede curse River had cast on Daniel was the result of over a decade of his curse research.
Anyone subjected to this curse would die violently within three minutes.
Considering Danielâs frail appearance, River estimated that after casting the centipede curse, Daniel wouldnât last more than thirty seconds out of the three minutes.
âSo youâre saying that if Iâm not dead within three minutes, it will mean that I was telling the truth and not
lying?â

âYou will die violently because you lied!â
River was confident.
Daniel turned to Isabella with a grin and asked for a favor,
âIsabella, would you mind timing this? If three minutes pass and Iâm still alive, it means I was not lying,
and Elysian Yu is indeed the one who cursed your dad.â
âOkay!â
Isabella took out her phone and started the stopwatch.
Three minutes quickly passed.
Of course, Daniel didnât fall to the ground foaming, convulsing, and then dying violently.
