The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 830 Compensation



"Stop trying to change the subject, troublemaker! How is this black hoof even flying? And how did it attack Jax?" Chloe demanded. Her curiosity was piqued, but she had no scientific answers, so she needed Daniel to clarify.

"The black hoof can fly because it has a bit of the boar's soul left. Not only that, it can also talk! Should I ask it to say a few words?" Daniel replied.

Chloe was immediately skeptical, thinking Daniel must be joking. "Flying, maybe I can accept that. But talking? A hoof doesn't have vocal cords. Have you ever seen a talking hoof?"

With doubt clearly written on her face, Chloe continued, "A normal black hoof certainly can't talk. But this is no ordinary hoof. This boar was from Golden Light Hill, a place rich with spiritual energy. So, this boar was way smarter than an average boar. Being possessed by an evil spirit made its hoof distinct-a soulful black hoof. And a hoof with a soul can talk!"

"A soulful black hoof? Talking? Ha!" Jax interjected with sarcastic laughter. He pointed at Daniel and mocked, "Dumbass, if you claim the black hoof can talk, then let's hear it! If it doesn't speak, you're deceiving Chloe, which means you're committing fraud. And according to the law, fraud can get you at least three years in prison!"

"Jax, just because you're in the

police force doesn't mean you can wrongfully accuse me. How am I committing fraud? Everything I've said is the truth! But Jax, if the black

hoof speaks, you, sir, are guilty of defamation, which is a crime? Chloe,

defamation?" Daniel asked with a

curious glance.

"Defamation? Enough with the nonsense! Make that black hoof talk, or I'll cuff you and turn you over to the court for fraud. Then we'll see about your three to five years," Chloe threatened.

"Chloe, are you seriously siding with Jax? You ignore his defamation and want to throw me in jail for fraud?" Daniel protested.

"Troublemaker, you know you've

committed fraud. Now, make the

black hoof talk. If it doesn't, you'll face serious consequences!" Chloe's stern tone revealed her genuine curiosity about whether the black hoof could actually speak.

She was intrigued. If the hoof could really speak as Daniel claimed, it would upend her scientific beliefs of the last twenty years. The floating will made of smoke and the flying

bloof giving Jax two slaps had

already begun to shake her

convictions.

For Chloe, it felt like a door to a new world had cracked open. Inside was a realm she had never encountered before.
