The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 558

Wyatt didn't outright refuse but instead made a suggestive remark. Sebastian, a clever man, understood what Wyatt meant. He knew that this wily fox thought his asking price was too high. Sebastian was aware that classmate affection wasn't worth a billion dollars—in fact, it might be worth nothing at all.

If he wanted that billion, he would have to offer something valuable in return. His greatest bargaining chip was his mentor, Anthony. Sebastian, without hesitation, leveraged his relationship with his master.

"Wyatt, you're aware that my master Anthony isn't just the top doctor in the USA but also a renowned disciple of Healthy Land. To secure an appointment with him, the consultation fee starts at fifty million. If you were to lend me a billion, I could arrange for him to consult on your medical case. I’ll convey your symptoms to him for advice.

However, if you give me a billion outright without expecting repayment, I could arrange for my master to see you or anyone you'd like him to treat up to three times. It doesn't have to be just for you; it can be for someone else you want my master to examine.

With your extensive network and business dealings, I'm sure there are many who need a doctor of my master's caliber. Many of them could be of significant use to you. If you could have my master treat them, it would be doing them a huge favor. They would surely be grateful, wouldn't they?

The benefits you could reap from their gratitude would undoubtedly be worth more than just a billion, right? Consider that I could provide you with three opportunities to gain three favors."

Sebastian was adept at negotiating, although he was not entirely sure he could actually persuade Anthony to come forward. But Wyatt didn't need to know that. Securing the billion dollars was the first step; the rest could be figured out later.

Sebastian's proposal momentarily stunned Wyatt. He had initially thought Sebastian was just a naive academic, a clueless bookworm. But today, the bookworm seemed to have had an epiphany. He was actually negotiating terms with him?

Sebastian's offer genuinely impressed Wyatt. Indeed, he did need Anthony's services for treating certain influential individuals. As for getting Joshua, that privilege was reserved for the most elite. For now, Wyatt didn't need Joshua's help; securing Anthony's services was already quite an accomplishment.

He had heard that a university professor had recently fallen gravely ill, and her son was the mayor of Washington. Upon learning of the professor's illness, Wyatt had thought about sending a doctor to establish a connection with her. If he could help save the professor, that would open a direct link to the mayor.

Wyatt had tried numerous approaches to get close to the mayor but to no avail. He hadn't even managed to secure a dinner meeting with him. The terms Sebastian was offering were incredibly tempting for Wyatt at the moment, making his heart race.
