Chapter 344 Trade Is Trade, What's There To Talk About Friendship?
"Uh?" Raphael's face froze when he heard this.
"What did you say?"
Harlow shouted urgently, "I said my brother-in-law is a miracle doctor and he's here today! With hismedical skills, he can definitely cure you!"
"Oh? Who is your brother-in-law and where is he?" Raphael asked in a deep voice.
At this moment, Lachlan's expression was dark as he looked at Harlow with anger and disgust. Henever expected that she would try to drag him down at such a crucial moment.
"It's him! He's my brother-in-law!"
"He is a miracle doctor but didn't use his skills just now. Let me go and I'll ask my brother-in-law tohelp you heal!" Harlow pointed in Lachlan's direction as she spoke, then shouted urgently towardshim, "Brother-in-law, save me! Save me... What are you doing standing there? Aren't your medicalskills very powerful? Are you going to stand by and watch me die without helping me?"
Swish swish swish...
At this point, everyone turned their attention towards Lachlan. The people who were previouslystanding in front of him quickly moved aside to expose him before everyone else.
Raphael and his followers also stared at Lachlan.
"You're her brother-in-law; can you cure my illness?" Raphael looked coldly at Lachlan whileshowing an unmistakable look of doubt on his face because Lachlan looked too young for such
high-level medical expertise even if he had been studying medicine since birth.
"Yes yes yes! It's him!"
"Brother-in-law, save me please!" Harlow pleaded repeatedly while Romeo blinked rapidly beforejumping out to say, "Mr. MacDonald, Lachlan has remarkable medical skills; if he agrees to treatyour illness, it won't be an issue."
"That's right! Unless he refuses."
"Brother-in-law, don't just stand there watching!" Harlow echoed the sentiment as well.
She looked at Lachlan, a cunning and sinister glint flashing deep in her eyes.
"I let you witness this spectacle, but even if I have to suffer, you won't have it easy either."
Romeo held the same intention, wanting to drag Lachlan down with him.
Lachlan gave a cold glance at the father and daughter, then turned to Raphael and said in a coldvoice, "I can cure your illness, but I'm not her brother-in-law! Do whatever you want with her!"
Originally, he wasn't in a hurry to take action and didn't mind watching Harlow and Penelopeembarrass themselves. However, now that Harlow had made him the center of attention, she hadprematurely exposed him.
With no other choice, Lachlan had to treat Raphael now. Whether it was for the Thousand-YearSnow Lotus or to avoid unnecessary trouble, he couldn't afford to offend Raphael.
Raphael raised an eyebrow at Lachlan's offer, "Oh? You think you can cure me?"
Lachlan smiled noncommittally, "If I do cure you, will you give me a Thousand-Year Snow Lotus?"
He directed his question straight at Raphael instead of Altha, who was hosting the event andwouldn't have access to such a precious prize.
The thought of obtaining such a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure made Lachlan eagerwith anticipation. The snow lotus contained potent spiritual energy and absorbed the essence of sunand moon; it would be perfect for refining high-grade elixirs or directly absorbing its spiritual energy.
Lachlan's current strength was at the peak of Uppecia late stage cultivation realm; he only neededone more step to reach Core Formation Realm. If he could get his hands on this Thousand-YearSnow Lotus, it might just be enough for him to break through.
Raphael nodded in agreement with Lachlan's request but warned him not to make false promises orface dire consequences.
Lachlan chuckled lightly, "I don't have any other requests except that you keep your promise."
He then turned towards Altha and requested a room for himself where he could treat Raphael.
Altha was surprised by Lachlan's sudden change in demeanor; he had given up hope on findinganyone capable of curing Raphael until now.
Fraser had introduced this young man as someone special; perhaps there was some truth behindhis words after all?novelbin
The others present watched Lachlan with mixed expressions. Some were skeptical while othersworried about him.
"Good! I hope you won't disappoint me!" Raphael deeply looked at Lachlan and nodded.
Then, he pointed at Harlow and Penelope and ordered his middle-aged attendant, "Keep an eye onthese two, don't let them go!"
Upon hearing this, Harlow, who thought she had successfully redirected her hatred towardsLachlan, suddenly had a face full of tears. Penelope's expression, on the other hand, becamecomplicated.
She hadn't expected that it was the person she had always looked down upon and antagonized whobrought about a turning point in the situation.
Penelope silently prayed that Lachlan could cure Raphael; otherwise, her own fate would beincredibly tragic.
In the room, only Lachlan and Raphael remained.
"I'll ask you again: can you really cure me?" Raphael stared at Lachlan with a tone full of doubt.
"Let's give it a try. I'm 80% sure," replied Lachlan calmly.
In fact, he already knew what Raphael's problem was and just wanted to play it safe so as not tomake him feel like curing him was easy.
Upon hearing this response, excitement flashed across Raphael's face. He had searched forcountless doctors for his strange illness and tried every method possible within his family and evensought help from "Judge," an evil doctor from Medicine God Valley in martial arts circles.
In the end, he tried looking for hope in the secular world but never heard anyone say they were 80%sure they could cure him before now.
"How wonderful! If you can really cure me, then you will be my savior! Not only will I give you aThousand-Year Snow Lotus but also owe you an enormous favor! From now on we are brothers!"exclaimed Raphael passionately while warning sternly at last, "Of course if I find out later that yourwords were just empty promises or if my condition doesn't improve after treatment, then don'texpect me to let things slide!"
Raphael took a deep breath as he spoke because he knew that his strange illness wasn't just skin-deep. Judge warned him that as his condition worsened one day, all of his internal organs wouldbecome woody until they completely decayed which meant death!
Upon hearing this, Lachlan smiled and said, "Very well, I will do my best."
However, deep inside, he sneered. He thought to himself, "even if I cure you, we don't have tobecome brothers. We are merely using each other for our own benefit. Let's keep it as atransaction. Why bother with any personal feelings?"
