The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 854 Raising Dogs

Crack!

With a sharp sound, the lid of the coffin shifted slightly, revealing a small crack. Dark smoke began to seep out from the gap, but before long, it stopped, as if the moment had passed.

Daniel turned to Jax with a cheerful smile and asked, "So, Jax, do you have a dog?"

Instead of answering directly, Jax shot back, "Dumbass, what are you getting at?"

"I'm just curious! Are you a dog owner or not?"

Before Jax could respond, Chloe chimed in, "Jax definitely has a dog."

"Perfect! That means we need a dog owner to open this coffin. So, Jax, why don't you come over and open it for us?"

As soon as he heard this, Jax was immediately resistant. "Why should I be the one to do it? Why does a dog owner have to open the coffin?"

"Didn't you ever hear the saying, Jax?" Daniel asked.

"What saying?" Jax replied, his brow furrowing in confusion.

"Like father, like son!"

As soon as Daniel said this, Jax's expression darkened. He was educated, having graduated at the top of his class from the police academy, and he knew full well that the phrase wasn't exactly a compliment.

Jax's face flushed with annoyance as he snapped at Daniel, "Dumbass, what do you mean by that? Are you insulting me?"

"Insult? Not at all! How could I insult

you, Jax? I'm being serious! The reason I want you to open this coffin is that, according to what I've learned, when exploring, we need a

for

to scare off evil spirits. And

the coffin? It needs a

dog owner to do it!"

Daniel's explanation left Jax speechless.

"Dumbass, I've never heard of anything like that! You're just making stuff up!" he protested.

"No! I'm serious!" Daniel insisted, nodding earnestly. "That's what I learned! Is there a problem?”

"Stop giving me this nonsense! I'm not buying it, not a word! Whose coffin is this anyway? I'm not about to mess with a dead person's coffin! I'm a police officer! A respectable police officer! This is about what? Disrespecting a corpse!

Disrespecting a corpse is illegal! How could I, as an officer, break the law? Even if I wanted to, Chloe

wouldn't allow it; she would never let

me break the law!"

Daniel then turned to Chloe with a cheeky grin. "Chloe, Jax isn't listening to me. Why don't you give him a command? Tell him to open this coffin!"

"Little brat, how dare you? You're

trying to use my officer to disrespect a corpse?! Just wait until we get outside; make sure you pay for this!" Chloe shot back, before turning to Jax with a firm voice. "Jax go open the coffin lid."
