Chapter 99 You Will Die Violently

River understood Isabella’s intent and stroked his white beard, responding calmly,

“If your father had been cursed, not only would I have noticed, but I could also expel the curse. This fool! is partly right; I do have some knowledge of curses.

After all, it’s impossible to practice medicine in Florida without learning about curses. However, while I know how to cast curses, I have only ever dispelled them to save my patients. I would never cast a curse

on anyone!”

River’s words were passionate and firm, simultaneously acknowledging his knowledge of curses and setting himself up as a noble savior.

“Elysian Yu, you said if my father was cursed, you’d know and could resolve it. Yet after you treated him just now, you should be well aware of whether he was cursed, right?”

Isabella’s question made River’s frosty eyebrows twitch.

After arriving, he had asked Sophia to leave so he could be alone in the room. Although Chris had already lost consciousness at the time, to be on the safe side, River had used a drug to make him even more

unconscious.

Having prepared, he then took out another centipede and placed it inside Chris. The previous curse on Chris involved a female centipede. This time, he put in a male. A male and a female together create a Male–Female Centipede Curse, a curse no one other than River could dispel.

Not to mention dispelling the curse, he believed nobody else in the world was capable of even

recognizing this curse.

River glanced at Daniel, this simple–looking countryman with nothing special about him. However, for caution’s sake, River approached Daniel and patted his shoulder with his hand, asking coldly,

“You claim Chris is cursed? And that I’m responsible?”

In truth, River was attempting to curse Daniel. He had centipede eggs under his nails. As he patted Daniel’s shoulder, he flicked his nails slightly, catapulting the eggs onto Daniel’s neck.

“Yes.”

“You’re slandering and defaming me! I tell you, anyone who lies in my ‘presence will be foaming at the mouth and drop dead within three minutes!”

The centipede curse River had cast on Daniel was the result of over a decade of his curse research.

Anyone subjected to this curse would die violently within three minutes.

Considering Daniel’s frail appearance, River estimated that after casting the centipede curse, Daniel wouldn’t last more than thirty seconds out of the three minutes.

“So you’re saying that if I’m not dead within three minutes, it will mean that I was telling the truth and not

lying?”

“You will die violently because you lied!”

River was confident.

Daniel turned to Isabella with a grin and asked for a favor,

“Isabella, would you mind timing this? If three minutes pass and I’m still alive, it means I was not lying,

and Elysian Yu is indeed the one who cursed your dad.”

“Okay!”

Isabella took out her phone and started the stopwatch.

Three minutes quickly passed.

Of course, Daniel didn’t fall to the ground foaming, convulsing, and then dying violently.
