The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 243 No Good

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Daniel's words triggered Shitstrong’s belly laughter. "What are you saying? Mia is a demon raiser? You wouldn’t also claim that she killed her own daughter and her daughter's boyfriend with the aim to turn them into evil spirits, right?"

"That's right, she wants to turn Jennflower and Handsome into evil spirits. By their birthdays, they are particularly suitable as vessels for evil spirits." Daniel explained seriously, but Shitstrong didn’t buy it.

"Ha ha ha ha..." Shitstrong's mocking laughter was his response to Daniel’s remarks. "Sarge, listen to this guy. Not only is he scum, he's a cultist too! He actually believes in this evil spirit nonsense and expects us to buy into it? Ha ha ha ha..."

Ignoring Shitstrong, Daniel turned to Ava and asked, "Do you also think I'm lying to you?"

"Hmph!" Ava snorted coldly before admonishing him. "Just looking at you, you seem like a con artist! But whether you're lying or not isn't for me to say without proof. Since you claim Mia killed Jennflower and Handsome, I need evidence, not just these dolls."

Of course, Ava didn’t believe in the existence of evil spirits; her response stemmed from wanting to see if Daniel could provide new evidence. Though he seemed shady, Daniel gave her the impression he was intelligent.

"Didn’t I just tell you? These dolls retain a part of Mia's holy soul. I just need to coax it out, and it'll seek out Mia's unholy soul. Then we can find Mia." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Ha ha ha ha..." Shitstrong couldn't help but burst out laughing again. "Holy soul? Unholy soul? You don't seem insane, but do you hear yourself? Do you think the Sarge will believe your strange

tales?"

Immediately after Shitstrong finished, Ava curiously asked Daniel, "How do you plan to coax out Mia's holy soul?"

Daniel turned to Shitstrong with a chuckle and inquired, "Do you smoke?"

"I do, why?"

"If you smoke, you’ll have a lighter, right? So, I need to borrow it."

"Why should I lend it to you?" Shitstrong immediately objected.

Ava glared and ordered, "Lend it to him!"

"Yes, Sarge!" Shitstrong couldn’t defy her order. He reluctantly pulled out the lighter he'd just bought that afternoon. Despite being only a dollar, the thought of his new lighter being tainted by a scumbag was too much to bear, and he knew he'd never use it again after Daniel touched it. Handing it over, he looked at Daniel with disdain.

"Scumbag, the lighter's yours; I don't want it back. Anything touched by scum like you gets dirty, and I'd never use it again."

"Shitstrong, if the woman you like was touched by a scumbag, would you give up on her?" Daniel posed the question, leaving Shitstrong red-faced and choked with indignation.

"You? You really are scum!"

Although Daniel was joking, Ava felt offended, being the woman Shitstrong most adored.
