Fane's words rendered Irene, Lawrence, and the others speechless again. It was obvious that this fellow jacked up the price. Never mind that he extorted three billion bucks out of them, now he was actually saying that the medicine was not that precious.
"Hah. It truly isn’t that precious. It's not expensive at all if it turns out to be effective for Mother. And it isn't that precious either, now that I think about it. After all, your head itself is probably worth three billion. It’s a pretty good head to whack!”
day den said, laughing.
"Come. Let's eat!"
Lawrence spoke, grinning. He knew what
sort of a person his son was. Everyone smiled while Jayden spoke, as though he were cracking a joke, but if Fane's medicine turned out to not be the least bit effective, and with the three billion bucks h e made them spend, he would truly be digging his own grave.
Besides, if not for his wife cajoling them to meet the former belle of their class and to see how she was doing, he would not have wanted to come. It felt as though this meal was a waste of their precious time.
Fiona smiled. "You're so humorous, Young Master Watson. You really know how to joke around!"
Here, she looked at Irene beside her. "I remember that the old master of the Watson family suffers from some strange disease," she said. "After we finish eating, let's get my son-in-law to take a look at him. He may be able to cure the old master!"
"Never mind about that. My grandfather had been undergoing treatment for a few months in America, and he still isn't any better, even though their medical industry i s so advanced. How could your son-in-law hope to cure him?
"I'm already dubious about the slimming pill he said would help my mother lose weight. My grandfather is already so old. If he doesn’t cure my grandfather but kills him instead, he probably won't die alone. He'll be dragging you, Aunty, as well as that darling daughter of yours!"
Jayden swirled the glass of red wine in his hand, speaking slowly, a frosty smile on his lips.
It was a threat. Definitely a threat.
"Really? I’m really curious now, did you learn western medicine or Chinese medicine?"
Lawrence smiled. “My father says that some of the Chinese medicine practitioners are pretty good. Honestly, I want to try it out—because I think that western medicine is the best. So much better than Chinese medicine. But the old man insists that Chinese medicine is better, that it could possibly cure his illness. So I want to look for a Chinese medicine practitioner this time and try it out if it to shatter his illusions about it!"
It was evident that Lawrence looked down o n Chinese medicine, speaking as though it were completely good for nothing.
"I am a Chinese medicine practitioner. Your father has pretty good taste. The practice has been attracting less and less attention because there are less disciples o f Chinese medicine now. Most medical students learn western medicine, totally oblivious about Chinese medicine!"
Fane gave a wan smile. "But Chinese medicine can cure plenty of diseases that western medicine can't. I really think that Chinese medicine is much better than western medicine!"
"If that's the case, why don't you come over to our house and put your words into practice? It’s possible that you can’t even diagnose what disease he has. Grandpa will die speechless. Hah!" Jayden actually guffawed.

I hope that by the end of the year fane will leave the whirling world and go to a new place...
This novel become with much unnecessary speech a lot of trash talk with a few of fight and advanced events even a fight with beast will take more then 10 chapters to be ended and many other important events will cost even more then then 20 chapters to end . U can remove the long unnecessary speech or u can post 20 chapters or more per day,if this not possible i will stop reading this novel,i don't have any other option because i'm not enjoying it...
It became a little boring,the events advanced slowly that 10 chapters become not enough to enjoy the events and there's a lot of unnecessary speech...
