The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 972 A Famous Doctor

Aaron knew he was about to spend a lot of money, so he wanted to get a clearer picture of how much Damian was going to take from him. Even though making money was as easy as drinking water, it still took effort! His money didn't come from thin air; he definitely wanted to spend less if possible.

"How many treatments will you need, Aaron? Honestly, I can't predict that right now. We'll have to assess things after the first treatment to get a clearer idea," Damian replied.

Aaron recognized that Damian's answer amounted to nothing. He wasn't naïve; he knew that Damian was withholding the number of required treatments to replace a way to make more money off him.

Noticing Aaron hesitate, Damian suddenly had an idea. He stroked his beard and said, "Aaron, if you think it's too expensive, you're free to look for another doctor! I can just leave!" Aaron panicked at those words. "Wait, Damian! Don't go!"

He'd been waiting for Aaron to shout. As soon as Aaron called out, Damian stopped in his tracks and turned back. "So, Aaron, have you decided? Are you willing to pay the million to get treated? Oh, I misspoke! It should be $2 million considering the use of my golden needles you still haven't paid for!"

Aaron's stomach pain was escalating, making it almost intolerable. He pleaded, "Damian, please treat me! I can't take this anymore!"

Of course, Damjan didn't jump to treat him immediately. Instead, he grinned and revealed his payment details. "Aaron, I can treat you, but at Eternal Spring, we have rules that can't be changed. You'll need to pay me $2 million first, and then I'll give you the injection."

With his pain becoming unbearable, Aaron reluctantly took out his phone and transferred $2 million to Damian. In the face of excruciating pain, $2 million didn't seem like such a big deal anymore.

Once Damian received the money, he immediately took out a golden needle from his ornate case. He swiftly injected it into Aaron.

To Aaron's surprise, the treatment worked instantly. "Damian, you really are the best doctor! I'm not in pain anymore!"

Seeing Aaron's excitement, Damian

cautioned him. "Aaron, hold on! You

shouldn't be too quick to celebrate. You actually don't have a parasite infection you're suffering from divine punishment. This treatment doesn't resolve your stomach pain. The reason you don't feel pain now is that my treatment has numbed your nerves. But this numbing effect is temporary; in about three seconds, your pain will return, and it might be worse than before."
