The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 109

The attack by the horde of snakes, insects, rats, and ants wasn't fatal, but the relentless bites were painful beyond words. It was not just physical pain that River Yu endured; he felt deeply humiliated. Those creatures he had summoned to tear apart the country bumpkin had turned against him instead.

“Good job, country bumpkin, tricking me like that?” River Yu snarled.

“What did I trick you about? You’re neither a big-breasted beauty nor wealthy, what reason would I have to fool you?” Daniel replied with a dismissive tone.

“You claimed you weren't a curse master, just a rural doctor!”

“I didn't lie to you! I am a rural doctor!”

“A doctor? My ass! What was that back there, hm? How could you control all those snakes and vermin?”

“I didn't control them! Weren't they summoned by you? Oh, right, you summoned them to bite yourself, didn't you?”

“You...” River Yu was speechless with rage, unable to form a retort to Daniel's mocking words.
