“Uh?” Raphael’s face froze when he heard this.
“What did you say?”
Harlow shouted urgently, “I said my brother-inw is a miracle doctor and he’s here today! With his medical skills, he can definitely cure you!”
“Oh? Who is your brother-inw and where is he?” Raphael asked in a deep voice.
At this moment, L’s expression was dark as he looked at Harlow with anger and disgust. He never expected that she would try to drag him down at such a crucial moment.
“It’s him! He’s my brother-inw!”
“He is a miracle doctor but didn’t use his skills just now. Let me go and I’ll ask my brother-inw to help you heal!” Harlow pointed in L’s direction as she spoke, then shouted urgently towards him, “Brother-inw, save me! Save me… What are you doing standing there? Aren’t your medical skills 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 L. The people who were previously standing in front of him quickly moved aside to expose him before everyone else.
Raphael and his followers also stared at L.
“You’re her brother-inw; can you cure my illness?” Raphael looked coldly at L while showing an unmistakable look of doubt on his face because L 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-inw, save me please!” Harlow pleaded repeatedly while Romeo blinked rapidly before jumping out to say, “Mr. MacDonald, L has remarkable medical skills; if he agrees to treat your illness, it won’t be an issue.”
“That’s right! Unless he refuses.”
“Brother-inw, don’t just stand there watching!” Harlow echoed the sentiment as well.
She looked at L, a cunning and sinister glint shing 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 L down with him.
L gave a cold nce at the father and daughter, then turned to Raphael and said in a cold voice, “I can cure your illness, but I’m not her brother-inw! Do whatever you want with her!”
Originally, he wasn’t in a hurry to take action and didn’t mind watching Harlow and Penelope embarrass themselves. However, now that Harlow had made him the center of attention, she had prematurely exposed him.
With no other choice, L had to treat Raphael now. Whether it was for the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus or to avoid unnecessary trouble, he couldn’t afford to offend Raphael.
Raphael raised an eyebrow at L’s offer, “Oh? You think you can cure me?”
L smiled nomittally, “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 and wouldn’t have ess to such a precious prize.
The thought of obtaining such a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure made L eager with anticipation. The snow lotus contained potent spiritual energy and absorbed the essence of sun and moon; it would be perfect for refining high-grade elixirs or directly absorbing its spiritual energy.
L’s current strength was at the peak of Uppeciate stage cultivation realm; he only needed one more step to reach Core Formation Realm. If he could get his hands on this Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, it might just be enough for him to break through.
Raphael nodded in agreement with L’s request but warned him not to make false promises or face dire consequences.
L 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 L’s sudden change in demeanor; he had given up hope on finding anyone capable of curing Raphael until now.
Fraser had introduced this young man as someone special; perhaps there was some truth behind his words after all?
The others present watched L with mixed expressions. Some were skeptical while others worried about him.
“Good! I hope you won’t disappoint me!” Raphael deeply looked at L and nodded.
Then, he pointed at Harlow and Penelope and ordered his middle-aged attendant, “Keep an eye on these two, don’t let them go!”
Upon hearing this, Harlow, who thought she had sessfully redirected her hatred towards L, suddenly had a face full of tears. Penelope’s expression, on the other hand, becameplicated.
She hadn’t expected that it was the person she had always looked down upon and antagonized who brought about a turning point in the situation.
Penelope silently prayed that L could cure Raphael; otherwise, her own fate would be incredibly tragic.
In the room, only L and Raphael remained.
“I’ll ask you again: can you really cure me?” Raphael stared at L with a tone full of doubt.
“Let’s give it a try. I’m 80% sure,” replied L calmly.
In fact, he already knew what Raphael’s problem was and just wanted to y it safe so as not to make him feel like curing him was easy.
Upon hearing this response, excitement shed across Raphael’s face. He had searched for countless doctors for his strange illness and tried every method possible within his family and even sought help from “Judge,” an evil doctor from Medicine God Valley in martial arts circles.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
In the end, he tried looking for hope in the secr 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 a Thousand-Year Snow Lotus but also owe you an enormous favor! From now on we are brothers!” eximed Raphael passionately while warning sternly atst, “Of course if I find outter that your words were just empty promises or if my condition doesn’t improve after treatment, then don’t expect 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 would be woody until theypletely decayed which meant death!
Upon hearing this, L 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 to be brothers. We are merely using each other for our own benefit. Let’s keep it as a transaction. Why bother with any personal feelings?”
