Chapter 231

hapter 231 Favor Emrys merely glanced at him and said, “A leopard never changes its spots. I can’t be bothered to argue with you.”

Mason was on the verge of losing his temper again. How dare he mock me! Under normal circumstances, he would have definitely taken Emrys down, but with Damarion present, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.

If you fail to cure my grandfather’s illness, you’ll see how I’ll make you pay! Mason strenuously suppressed the rage in his heart.

Damarion said, “Dr. Lund, we’ve come to Jadeborough this time to invite you to Juxshire. We need your help to treat Old Mr. Cooper’s leg injury. As long as you can heal his leg, you can name your price for the consultation.”

That was the advantage of being wealthy and arrogant.

That was also where Mason’s confidence lay.

However, Damarion spoke much more tactfully than Mason. He didn’t start off by bragging about how wealthy he was or insisting Emrys should hurry up and provide treatment. Anyone would be put off by such a commanding tone.

Even though Damarion had expressed a request, Emrys still shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, Juxshire is too far away. I’m too lazy to travel. The only reason I agreed to meet you today is to make you give up hope.”

Emrys was not short of money, and he didn’t treat illnesses for the sake of money either. Since he wasn’t after money, who would travel all the way to Juxshire to see him? If they were sick, wouldn’t they come to him themselves?

Moreover, it was just a leg injury, not a full–b*dy paralysis. Emrys believed that, even if his patient was completely paralyzed, if they genuinely wanted medical help, they should have had their relatives carry them there, instead of sending someone as dim–witted as Mason. Mason didn’t even have the proper attitude for seeking medical help.

Mason’s actions reinforced Emrys‘ idea that wealthy people were really spoiled.

Upon hearing Emrys‘ words, Damarion spoke with a slight change in his expression. “Dr. Lunk, Mr.

Cooper has already apologized for his previous rash actions. Why won’t you give him a chance? It is often said that doctors are compassionate…”

Emrys waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, “Enough with the dawdling here. Don’t give me the “doctors are compassionate” shtick. Either you scram immediately or let the sick person from your Cooper family come over. Who knows, I might be in a good mood one day and decide to treat him.”

Upon seeing his perfunctory attitude, Damarion was starting to get angry.

There existed a certain type of person who would take a mile if given an inch. In Damarion’s perspective, Emrys was precisely that kind of person. He had already shown him enough respect, yet Emrys still didn’t know chalk from cheese.

Chapter 231 Favor “Dr. Lund…” Damarion’s gaze was slightly cold as he stared at Emrys, saying, “Perhaps you’re not short of money, but there’s one thing you’ve missed. In the future, you’ll surely regret it.”

“Oh? What is it?” Emrys asked curiously.

“A favor of our Cooper family from Juxshire!”

As Damarion spoke those words, a surge of internal energy coursed through him like a mighty river. A subtle aura of a martial artist, almost imperceptible, was released from within him.

He wasn’t threatening Emrys, but rather informing him that he was a martial artist and that the Cooper family was a family of martial artists.

A favor was something extremely important in society, akin to the concept of “favor and law.” “Favor”

even precedes “law,” highlighting its significance.

Additionally, the favors from a family of martial artists were even more precious.

Just like the Bjorn family from Jazona. It was precisely because they had personal connections with Owen, the guardian of Central Chanacan Martial Arts Alliance, that even though Huxley was caught red–handed, he could still remain above the law. That situation involved a matter of personal relationships.

Once there were personal connections, many things could be accomplished with half the effort.

Damarion continued, “Dr. Lund, perhaps you may not need the favor of our Cooper family for now.

However, you can’t guarantee that your descendants won’t encounter any troubles in the future. When that time comes, you will realize just how precious the favor of our Cooper family truly is.”

What he said made a lot of sense.

Any normal person would cherish that form of connection because it was that complex social system that relied on such connections for its sustenance. Laws, one could say, were merely constraints.
