The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 477 "I Wasn't Boasting"

"Mom, I wasn't boasting!" Daniel insisted.

"You weren't boasting? Do you have any idea who Joshua is? He's the head of The Grants, one of New York's elite Eight Families. It's not like he would even know you, much less call you 'master'!" Avery couldn't fathom the possibility of Joshua knowing someone like Daniel, and she didn't hesitate to express her skepticism.

"Joshua is my student, if you don't believe me, ask Jessica!" Daniel turned towards Jessica and said, "Honey, tell her, will you?"

Jessica rolled her eyes and addressed Avery. "Mom, Joshua really does know Daniel. He's even been quite polite and asked him some questions about traditional medicine. Sure, Daniel might be overstating it by calling Joshua his student, but his medical skills are definitely impressive. Let’s not delay any longer, let's just let the fool try and save Grandpa."

Upon hearing Jessica's words, Pork let out a cold laugh. "Haha," he scoffed, then turned to Jessica with a scornful tone. "What are you suggesting, Jessica? You want to leave the life of our patient in the hands of a country boy?"

"Pork, Grandpa has already been declared dead by Professor John. Even if it seems hopeless, shouldn't we let Daniel give it a try?"

"How can you speak like that, Jessica? What do you mean by 'hopeless'?" Pork was getting agitated.

"Pork, stop stirring up trouble! Grandpa no longer shows any signs of life. We have to let Daniel treat him right away, or it really might be too late."

"The likes of a country boy have no business treating my Grandpa! If we’re looking for treatment, we should call Joshua. Didn’t this country boy just claim Joshua is his student? If that's true, then one phone call should be enough to bring Joshua here, right?"

Pork was posing a tough challenge for Daniel; Joshua wasn't so easy to summon. Even Pork himself couldn't call on Joshua at a moment's notice.

"Fine, I'll call Joshua right now," Daniel said, pulling out his phone and dialing Joshua's number.

"Hello! Master! What's going on?" came the voice from the other end.

"I'm at 108 Hospital. I need you to come over immediately."

I'll be there in no more
