The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 271

Liam let out a cold chuckle and said plainly, "I know very well what's going on."

Gabriel thought his plan had worked when he heard Liam. "Liam, since you know what's up, you better call for help and nab this con artist. He dared to deceive you, Liam. If you don't arrest him, it won't calm the public rage! Not catching him would tarnish your dignity, Liam. He should be locked up! No, jail's too kind for him; you should at least have him shot!"

Gabriel's words made Liam frown with puzzlement. He looked at him, questioning, "Gabriel, what did this guy do to you? Why do you want him dead?"

"I didn't even know the dude before all this. There's no beef between us. But, Liam, he fooled you, so he's gotta go. You have to have him shot!"

Abigail couldn't stand to listen anymore. She jumped in with a frosty voice, "If lying to my dad were a shooting offense, Gabriel, you would have faced a firing squad hundreds of times over!"

"Abigail, what's that supposed to mean?" asked Gabriel.

"What does it mean? Don't you know, Gabriel? I honestly didn't realize you were such a shameless character before. It's you who's been fooling my dad, yet here you are, accusing this doctor of deception! Gabriel, your medical skills may be lacking, but you surely excel in turning black into white!"

Abigail's scolding left Gabriel red-faced and speechless. "Abigail, you... you've got it all wrong!"

Seeing that he couldn't fool her, Gabriel quickly turned to Liam. This daughter was too smart, but he could still try to trick her dad! After all, Liam had been unconscious and clueless about what really happened.
