The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 592

"Grandpa, I spent a fortune creating this dog poop pill! Just the cost of the ingredients alone was 99.99, with nine being the highest single-digit number, symbolizing a wish for you to live even longer than turtles and tortoises," Daniel said with a straight face, until his last quip earned him a fierce pinch from Jessica on his midsection.

"Ouch! Ouch!" Daniel cried out in mock distress.

"Honey, why are you pinching me?"

"And why do you think I'm pinching you? What kind of foolish talk was that?"

"I'm wishing Grandpa long-life! Turtles live a long time; I’m giving him a blessing!"

"You’re the turtle! I'll twist you dead!" Jessica retorted, both annoyed and amused as she twisted Daniel's skin in her grip.

Daniel, of course, didn't dare to retaliate and only responded with melodramatic cries. "Ouch! Ouch!"

"Enough! Stop making a scene! What kind of behavior is this?" interrupted Avery sharply, restoring a semblance of order.

With a goofy grin, Daniel held the infamous dog poop pill to Kind’s lips. "Grandpa, wanna give it a try?"

Pleased, Kind offered his praise. "This dog poop pill is amazing; it worked immediately. However, no matter how effective your pills are, I'm not just going to hand Jessica over to you so easily. You'd best give up on that idea.

You must understand, The Matthews are one of The Eight Families of Washington. Therefore, the granddaughters of The Matthews will only marry into equally reputable families. You may have some medical skills and talents, but you are of ordinary origin."

Then, Kind shifted his tone.

"Country boy, considering you've saved me once and provided this dog poop pill, I am willing to consider letting you work for The Matthews."
