The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 256 Two Birds with One Stone

Though Ava spoke with some uncertainty, it didn't affect her resolve. She wasn't going to seek help from Daniel, especially if it had something to do with ghosts. She was set on having her team members bring down Jennflower's body without giving Daniel the opportunity to ridicule her.

Ava looked at LightS, who was the tallest among them. He didn't even need a stool to reach Jennflower’s body. With the height of six-foot-five, all he had to do was reach out. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"LightS, you bring down Jennflower's body."

"Yes, Sarge!"

Following the order, LightS moved into action. His first approach had resulted in a kick from Jennflower's body. Thus, he was exceptionally cautious this time, moving slowly to avoid another surprise assault. He looked up frequently with each step, but Jennflower's body just hung there, motionless, leading to LightS letting down his guard.

Once more, he reached out, planning to support Jennflower's legs to lift her body up and off the rope. But as his hands neared her, the previously still legs of Jennflower’s body moved again, and she kicked LightS in the face. The poor man was sent flying a second time.

"Thump!"

He hit the ground hard, raising a cloud of dust as he landed. Holding his swelling face, LightS cried out in pain.

Daniel asked with a chuckle, "So, did you accidentally run into her foot again this time?"

With his face kicked into swelling, LightS was already fuming. Daniel's mockery sent him over the edge. "Scumbag, are you making fun of me?"

"How would I dare to mock you? I simply reminded you that there's a malevolent spirit inside Jennflower's body—that little boy I mentioned earlier who even peed on Shitstrong's neck. He can't take your life, but he can certainly cause trouble, like making that body kick you."

Daniel's explanation infuriated Ava. "What nonsense are you talking about? If you're so capable, why don't you bring down Jennflower’s body?"

The intelligent woman had a strategy: she wanted to kill two birds with one stone. If all went well, she would not only chastise Daniel but also have him handle the troublesome situation.

Ava had been a captain for many years and was skilled at directing subordinates to get things done. Daniel, neither a fool nor a simp, remained unaffected by her ploy. He reminded her with a grin, "Sarge, I’m not one of your team members. You can’t control me that way. If you want me to work for you, Sarge, you need to ask me sincerely."

Daniel's words left Ava feeling frustrated and angry. "Scumbag, what do you mean? You expect me to beg you? Do you really think you're that powerful?"

"Sarge, what are you saying? Why don't you let me leave? I'm just a regular citizen."

Daniel's crafty remarks fueled Ava's rage once more. "Scumbag, if you keep bullshitting me, I'll arrest you! I'm ordering you to bring down Jennflower's body now."

"Is that you asking me?"

"Ask nothing! I'm commanding you!"

"Well, I don't respond to commands; nobody can order me around!"
