The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 921 Let’s Make a Bet

Daniel's response made Isla scoff coldly.

"Ha!"

After her laugh, she cut to the chase. "If you don't want to ruin my skin, how many needles do you really need to cure me?"

"I can cure you with just one!" Daniel replied with a grin. "But I bet you'll be begging me for a second one!"

"Ha!"

Isla sneered again, "Begging you for a second? Do I look that pathetic?"

"Isla, begging for a second needle doesn't mean you're pathetic. It's because my treatment will feel really good!"

"Nonsense! No way! I wouldn't beg some hick like you for a second needle! Who ever thought acupuncture was pleasant? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Isla hated needles. Just seeing one made her anxious. If she could, she would avoid any shots for the rest of her life. There was no way she would ever ask him for a second one.

"That's not true, Isla! You really will beg me for a second one," Daniel said with a chuckle, then he changed the subject. "How about we make a bet?"

"A bet? What kind of bet?"

Isla's bright eyes showed some suspicion as she looked at Daniel and asked, "Hick, do you have some dirty plan?"

"Isla, you're my mom's best friend! I wouldn't dare do anything bad to you! If I did, she'd kill me!"

As soon as he said that, Isla looked over at Avery.

"Avery, this hick son-in-law better not

do anything unreasonable to me! You have to beat him up! Make him cry so he knows what happens when he messes up!"

"Don't worry, Isla, I got you! This hick will be on his best behavior; he won't dare do anything against you!"

Even though Avery said that, she

knew deep down that Daniel was far from innocent. What exactly was on his mind, she couldn't guess, and it made her curious about what would happen next.

After getting Avery's confirmation, Isla turned back to Daniel.

"Hick, what are we betting on? What are the details?" she asked.

"Isla, didn't I just say? I can cure you with one needle, but you'll definitely want a second one. So let's bet on that!"

Daniel's words left Isla stunned.

With a puzzled look, she asked, "Just that? How?"

"The first needle will be to treat you, and I'll only charge you a hundred bucks. After all, I'm a doctor, and I'm not here to make money. But if after my first needle, when your stomach pain is gone, you still want me to give you a second one, then that second needle will cost you a million!"

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Isla laughed coldly.

"Ha!"

After her laugh, she said, "Hick, don't worry. There's no way I'm asking you for a second needle, so you won't make that million."
