âThereâs no need to go to a hotel. Letâs just find a restaurant nearby!â
Nash was reluctant to go too far. If they went too far, he would have to walk later as he wanted to save money.
He had just walked here from Baroqueâs headquarters earlier.
Brian exclaimed with delight, âGreat! Thereâs a nice food stall nearby. I used to go there often with some old friends. Letâs eat there!â
In no time at all, Brian brought Nash to a food stall by the roadside.
The restaurant owner was very welcoming and said, âHey there, Dr. Tanner. What brings you here today?â
Brian laughed and said, âIâve been craving your food. Bring us your signature dishes!â
âSure thing!â
The restaurant owner responded and promptly instructed the kitchen to prioritize Brianâs order.
Then, he even brought out his own well-aged fine spirit as a complimentary gift to Brian.
Countless people lined up to invite Miracle Doctor Tanner for a meal but never got the chance.
Brian personally poured a glass of alcohol for Nash and himself.
He lifted the glass with both hands and said excitedly, âGrandmaster, our last meeting was rather hasty, so letâs take this as our first meeting instead. Iâd like to give you a toastâ¦â
Nash smiled and, without making a fuss, lifted his glass and downed the contents in one gulp.
Brian let out a sigh and said, âThis is good alcohol⦠This restaurant owner is really hospitable!â
Nash set down his glass and said, âJust tell me whatâs on your mind. As the sole successor of my martial brotherâs lineage, Iâll do whatever I can to help you if youâve run into troubleâ¦â

âIn that case, I wonât beat about the bush. The wife of Walter Watson, the richest man in Jonford, has a strange illness. Her body functions perfectly, and thereâs no sign of brain death, but sheâs been in a coma for three years now!â
Brian discreetly observed Nashâs facial expression and saw that he remained calm, so he continued, âWalterâs charity work is primarily focused on traditional medicine. If we can cure his wife, the medical community in Jonford can receive more
charitable donations!â
Nash picked up a peanut with his hand and chewed on it.
Then, he poured himself another glass of alcohol and asked, âHow much is the consultation fee?â
âTen million.â
Brian immediately spoke up.
Ten million? That was enough for him to give over 400 consultations.
Even his masterâs consultation fee was only around 150 grand.
Plus, he would only receive the fee after successfully treating the patient.
After pondering for a moment, Nash spoke, âIsnât ten million too little for the wealthy Watson family?â
He did not like money, but Heraâs Baroque needed it.
Brian chuckled and said, âGrandmaster, you can set the price, and Iâll negotiate further with Walterâ¦â
Nash finished the drink in his glass in one gulp and calmly said, âFor the sake of your honor, letâs settle on ten million.â
Brian firmly refused, âNo way. Ten million simply doesnât match your status. Iâll negotiate for 15 million with Walter!â
Since the consultation fee was mentioned, there had not been a change in the grandmasterâs expression.
There was even a hint of disdain in his eyes.
It was clear that the grandmasterâs fee was far more than ten million.
He was well versed in Divine Needling, with medical skills that were more than twice as good as his own masterâs.
Thus, it was reasonable for him to charge a high fee.
Brian walked aside and made a phone call to Walter.
When the price of 15 million was quoted, Walter did not hesitate to agree and said, âAs long as you can cure my wifeâs illness, any amount of money is worth itâ¦â
Fifteen million was just a drop in the ocean for the Watson family.
Brian returned to the table and had a few more drinks with Nash.
Satisfied with the food and drinks, the two of them headed toward the Watsonsâ residence while slightly intoxicated.
The Watson familyâs estate was magnificent and dazzling, resembling a castle.
Kai burned a photo of Nash into ashes and then expressionlessly drove a convertible out of the garage.
He was followed closely by seven cars within the estate.
When the security guard opened the gate, Kai immediately set his sight on Nashâs slightly flushed face.
