The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 260

A stout woman wearing a red coat emerged. It was Mia, incredibly out of place in her attire considering the sizzling summer temperatures around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Everyone present watched her as if she was a freak.

Ava asked, "Did you kill Jennflower and Handshome?"

"Jennflower is my daughter; she should stay by my side forever," Mia retorted with an eerie calmness that belied the situation.

"So, you killed them because you didn't approve of Jennflower's relationship with Handshome?" Ava probed further.

"I didn’t kill them. I've given them eternal life, so they may always be by my side," Mia explained chillingly, her rationality sounding more like that of a deranged person.

Daniel chimed in, "So you killed them and turned them into evil spirits?"

"My daughter wasn’t obedient, nor was her boyfriend. But spirits are obedient; spirits do as they're told," Mia rambled on.

Suddenly, Mia began chanting an incantation and making strange hand gestures. One by one, horrifically mutilated spirits clawed their way out from the small door. Some were missing limbs, others had sores on their heads or pus leaking from their feet — none were a pleasant sight.

Daniel grabbed the willow branch and charged forward, thrashing at the spirits until none of them remained.

Right after dealing with the spirits, Daniel’s phone rang with a contact labeled ‘My Love’. Upon seeing the caller ID, Daniel exclaimed in shock, "HOLY SHIT!" He quickly answered the call.

The voice on the other end was furious, "Daniel, where are you? I asked you to buy some barbecue, and you’ve been gone so long, you didn’t even call or text."

"My love, don't be mad. I got caught up with something, I'll be right back! Immediately back!" Daniel tried to explain, but Ava suddenly shouted.
