The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 244

Ava, fuming with anger, glared at Daniel and scolded, "Scum, keep spouting nonsense and I'll tape your mouth shut!"

Daniel ignored her tirade, picking up the doll with Jennflower's name on it.

"Click."

He flicked the lighter and brought the flame to the doll's feet. Ava watched curiously, inquiring, "What are you doing?"

"I'm releasing Mia's holy soul from this doll! This was made for her daughter, and only through this can the holy soul within guide us to Mia."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Shitstrong erupted into laughter again, his mockery as overt as ever. After his fit, he pointed to the thin wisp of smoke rising from the doll's head and asked, "You’re not saying this smoke is Mia's holy soul, are you?"

"Exactly."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Daniel’s earnest answer drew further laughter from Shitstrong. "Scum, are you trying to insult the Sarge’s intelligence? This doll is stuffed with grass and covered in a little flowery cloth. By lighting it from below, of course it’ll give off smoke! To claim that smoke is Mia's holy soul, you must really think the Sarge is a child!"

Shitstrong dragged Ava into every sentence, his goal to make her despise Daniel. Hopefully, she'd kick Daniel out, ruling out any chance of him getting close to her, and therefore, eliminating a love rival for Shitstrong.
