The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 838 Departure

"Ha!"

Jax laughed, then sneered, "Daniel, I see what you're doing. You're trying to mess with my head. Well, it's not going to work! Back in police academy, I aced my psychology class. You can't psych me out. I haven't done anything wrong, and I don't have a first love. Say whatever you want, I'm not scared!"

"Fine! Since you're so stubborn, I won't say more," Daniel said, waving his hand. "Let's move out!"

Daniel, holding his torch, led the group into the cave.

The cave was bone-chilling.

As soon as they entered, an icy coldness hit them, making everyone shiver. Nathan seemed to suffer the most, his teeth chattering loudly from the cold. Ahead, Daniel saw a clear water pool.

He turned and warned the group, "There's a female ghost in this pool. She drowned herself after her husband cheated on her. She hates men who've been unfaithful." Daniel glanced at Jax and added, "Jax, be extra careful when you pass this pool. Don't stare into it. If you do, the ghost will notice and pull you in to drown you."

Daniel wasn't trying to scare Jax; he was serious.

There really was a ghost in that pool, a woman who drowned herself because of her husband's infidelity. Her resentment was intense, and after being corrupted by an evil spirit, it had gotten even worse.

"Hah!" Jax scoffed, "Daniel, you're saying there's a ghost in this pool? Where is she? I don't see anything."

To show his bravery and prove the pool was ghost-free, Jax crouched down at the edge.

"I'm right here! Where's the ghost? Why isn't she pulling me in to drown me?"

As he spoke, he even splashed the water a bit with his hand.

"Jax, you know why people die in horror movies? Because they stupid

No sooner had Daniel finished his warning, a pale, long-nailed woman's

Splash!

With a burst of water, Jax was pulled under.

Though Jax could swim and might have usually been able to get back to the surface, he felt something grab his foot, dragging him down. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

"Help! Somebody help!"

Jax sputtered and cried for help, flailing his arms and legs.

While Daniel remained unmoved, Chloe panicked and urged, "Daniel, save him, quick!"
