The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 971 An Expensive Price

Damian paused for a moment before continuing. "As for who did this to Aaron? I can't say for sure right now. But I can tell you that my treatment can cure his illness."This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The moment he heard Damian say this, Aaron completely lost it. "What? I'm infested with parasites? Who did this?"

“Aaron,” Damian said, "right now, it's not about who did this to you. What matters is that we need to get rid of those parasites in your body as soon as possible. They're vicious and will keep multiplying inside you. The longer we wait, the more parasites there will be, and of course, the more pain you'll feel."

Aaron felt a wave of panic wash over him. No wonder his stomach felt like it was being torn apart-he actually had parasites in there!

"Doctor, please treat me now!"

"Aaron, treating you involves my golden needles, which are not cheap. Let's put it this way: if you want my treatment, you need to prepare enough gold to cover the entire floor of a room."

Cover an entire room? Hearing this

made Aaron feel like a sheep walking into a slaughterhouse. But with no other options available, he had no choice but to ask Damian, "Damian, I don't have that much gold right now. How about this-you treat me first, and once my stomach stops hurting, I'll pay you back with gold."

Instantly, Damian sensed that Aaron was trying to pull a fast one on him. There was no way he would fall for that empty promise. He wanted the gold upfront because gold in his hands meant security. Without it, no amount of Aaron's future promises mattered; they were justJOUS.

"Aaron, it's fine that you don't have gold right now. I do. All you need to do is transfer $1 million to me, and I'll treat you. But I'll be clear this $1 million is just for the use of my golden needle; it's separate from your treatment fee.”

"Separate from my treatment fee? Damian, are you saying if I want you to treat me, I need to pay you another million?"

Damian smiled slightly. "Aaron, that

$1 million is just the price for one treatment. I can't tell you right now how many parasites are in you. If there aren't many, maybe one needle will do the trick and eliminate the toxins But if there are a lot, one treatment won't be enough Since parasites keep reproducing, even if there's just one left in your body, it'll keep causing trouble. So if you've decided to use my golden needles, I believe you want to put an end to this once and for all."

Aaron felt something was off but now had no other choice. He mustered the courage to ask, “Damian, can you tell me how many treatments I might need to eliminate all the parasites inside me?"
