The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 973

When Damian heard Daniel say this, his face darkened in an instant. He pointed at Daniel and shouted, “You country doctor, don’t spout nonsense here!”

Daniel looked at Damian and chuckled. “You think I’m spouting nonsense? Are you saying Aaron’s pain has been cured?”

“Of course, it has!” Damian confidently thumped his chest.

As soon as he said that, before Daniel could respond, Aaron doubled over in pain, clutching his stomach. “Ah... what’s wrong with me? It feels like someone’s stabbing me with a knife! Damian, you said you cured me! Why does my stomach hurt more than before?”

Aaron’s reaction left Damian dumbfounded. Logically, his treatment should have helped relieve some pain. After all, he needed to keep making money off Aaron!

If Aaron felt even worse after treatment, how could Damian justify asking him for a second round of treatment? How could he keep conning Aaron?

“Aaron, don’t panic. Let me check you out again,” Damian said, grabbing Aaron’s wrist to assess his condition.

After three minutes of checking, Damian looked surprised. Aaron’s body seemed chaotic in a way he had never seen before. Though he didn’t know what was happening, that wouldn’t stop him from continuing to take Aaron’s money. After all, Damian was in this for the profit, not necessarily to cure anyone.

As he pondered how to placate Aaron, Damian crafted his next plan. He looked sincerely at Aaron and said, “Aaron, your situation is serious. You’ll need at least two more treatments to eliminate the parasites. After you paid me the $2 million, I’ll give you a 20% discount on the next two treatments. Oh, wait, make that a 25% discount! Just give me another $1.5 million.”

$1.5 million? Hearing that figure nearly made Aaron spit blood.

“Damian, are you serious? Even more money?”

Although Aaron was used to dealing with shrewd clients in his stone business, this was a whole new level of deceit!

But with no options left, Aaron responded, “So if I give you $1.5 million for two more treatments, will my stomach pain finally go away? What if you can’t cure me?”

“Aaron, don’t worry! If you give me $1.5 million, I guarantee I’ll cure you and eliminate all the parasites. You won’t have to deal with this pain again.”
