The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 539

Even the brightest graduates from the world's most prestigious universities couldn't command a salary of a million a month!

"Heh," Wyatt chuckled sarcastically, dropping all pretense. "Country boy, what did you say just now? You think you wouldn't switch jobs for a million a month? Do you even see what you’re all about? With that bumpkin appearance, do you really think you’re worth a million a month?"

"A million isn’t that big a deal! Back in the village, I picked up a few medical tips from a doctor nearby and sometimes treat people’s ailments," Daniel casually dropped.

Wyatt couldn’t hold back his laughter at Daniel's claim. After he finished laughing, he said with disdain, "You learned a bit from a doctor and think you can treat people? The medical skills of village doctors are so poor; who would come to you? To say it plainly, perhaps the uneducated farmers in your village would come to you because their lives are cheap. If you ended up killing them with your treatments, it wouldn’t matter. After all, they’re just peasants whose deaths would be no big loss!"

Wyatt’s continuous slights infuriated Jessica, who immediately spoke out sternly, "Wyatt, Daniel is my boyfriend, please show him some respect. If you can’t do that, it's as good as disrespecting me, and I see no purpose in staying at this reunion!"

Jessica had little interest in the class reunion to begin with. If it weren't for the sake of face, she wouldn’t have come at all.

The thought of Jessica leaving panicked Wyatt, and he approached with a laugh, "Jessica, I was only joking, don’t take it to heart. Since this country boy is your boyfriend, of course, I welcome him as an old classmate!"

"Anyone who's sick will say anything, and I take no offense," Daniel retorted with a grin.

Wyatt's fury flared up at Daniel's words. He stared at Daniel accusingly, "Who are you calling sick?"

"Of course, I meant you! Who else could it be?" Daniel replied.

Wyatt snapped, "Of course, it's you! You're just a country boy jealous of my wealth!"

In truth, it was Wyatt who was drowning in jealousy. He couldn’t fathom how a goddess, unattainable even to him, ended up being a bumpkin's girlfriend. Even if it was all pretend, that didn't sit well with him. He felt as though his goddess was being defiled, particularly by some country rube!

At that moment, a BMW 530 rolled up. A man decked out in a business suit with gold-rimmed glasses stepped out. His name was Sebastian Brown, a medical practitioner who had embraced indigenous medicine after completing his undergraduate studies.

Seeing Sebastian, Wyatt's warmth overflowed, "Oh, if it isn't Washington’s finest doctor, Sebastian! You are so punctual today, a rare sight indeed! Last time I was under the weather, you prescribed some medicine for me, and it worked wonders!"

"Thank you, Wyatt. Helping you was just me doing my job. My mentor, Anthony, is the truly fine physician; he's a disciple of Joshua, the number one medic in the USA."
