Chapter 64 - This Little Injury Will Heal After I Go Home and Lie Down for a Couple of Days
“Doctor, are you sure there hasn't been a mistake?”
Zheng Shaohao still couldn't believe it and stepped forward to question the doctor.
He couldn't for the life of him figure out how, with his strength and without even using a weapon, he could have injured someone so severely!
Besides, that guy Lin Fan didn't look like he was seriously injured at all. He even secretly smiled at him just now!
Could it be that the doctor made a mistake?!
“Mr. Zheng, our hospital's X-ray machine is one of the best in the world today. It has never made a mistake with any patient.”
“Even if you were to go to another hospital for an X-ray, the result would be the same.”
The doctor explained patiently. In the hospital, there were always some patients who found it difficult to accept their X-ray results and would raise doubts. They had seen this kind of situation many times and explained it as if going through a routine procedure.
Hearing this, Zheng Shaohao's heart instantly sank to rock bottom. After a moment of hesitation and internal conflict, he gritted his teeth and said to Lin Fan:
“Fine! Eight hundred thousand it is!”
His parents had allocated a large sum of money for him to start a company and had certain expectations for him. Once his parents found out he had gotten into such big trouble outside, they might just pull the company's funding.
Eight hundred thousand was no small sum for him, but in order to keep his family from finding out about today's incident, and to avoid going to jail himself, he had no choice but to agree.
The company had some emergency funds set aside, which could be used for just this purpose, so he wouldn't have to worry about his parents finding out.
Besides, since Lin Fan's injuries were real, the subsequent medical treatment would also be a huge expense. To be able to settle it now with just eight hundred thousand should be a very good deal.
Lin Fan shook his head and amended his demand: “Eight hundred thousand was the price just now. The price now is one million.”
“One million?!”
“How much time has passed? How did it go up by two hundred thousand already!”
Zheng Shaohao was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had just managed to convince himself to agree, and in just that short moment, Lin Fan had raised the settlement from eight hundred thousand to one million!
Even robbing a bank isn't this fast!
“Prices for everything are going up these days. There's no problem with me raising my price a little, is there?”
“Besides, this one million includes my medical fees, follow-up treatment fees, future security fees, and compensation for emotional distress, and so on. One million is already quite cheap.”
“If you hesitate any longer, the price will go up again in a bit.”
Lin Fan explained leisurely.
With his noble status as the Demon Sovereign, letting him stand there and get hit a few times... extorting a million from him isn't the least bit excessive, is it?
You have to know, ordinary people don't even get the chance to touch him.
The moment he heard the price would go up again, Zheng Shaohao grew anxious. After a moment of internal conflict, he hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and agreed.
“One million it is! But after this, you are not allowed to come to me for money for any other reason!”
“Even if you spend all the money and your injuries aren't healed, I will not pay a single cent more for your medical expenses!”
“Deal!”
Lin Fan agreed immediately with a slight smile.
Long Yue, at the side, was stunned.
Others might not be able to see it, but how could she not? With the Demon Sovereign's power, even if he stood there and let Zheng Shaohao hit him for a whole century, he wouldn't get so much as a scratch.
The injuries inside his body were simply something he had created himself in secret. To him, they were completely painless and of no consequence.
She just never expected that he could earn a million so easily…!
She worked hard streaming for over ten hours a day, and she didn't even know if she could earn a hundred thousand a month. Yet the Demon Sovereign had earned a million in just a few moments!
That was enough to match a whole year of her streaming!
“Patient, your injuries are very serious and cannot be delayed. We need to begin surgical treatment for you immediately.”
The doctor advised Lin Fan from the side.
He couldn't figure it out either. Logically, a normal person with these kinds of injuries would have been wailing in pain long ago, yet he was able to tough it out here without making a single sound. He was just too much of a tough guy!
“I won't trouble you, Doctor. This little injury will heal after I go home and lie down for a couple of days.”
Lin Fan smiled and politely declined the doctor's advice. Changing from his previous pale and weak expression, he patted himself off and stood up from the hospital bed as if nothing was wrong.
In that instant, everyone present, except for Long Yue, was stunned.
Wait, multiple fractures all over your body, plus internal bleeding, and you can still just stand up like that?! Are you Superman or something?!
“L-Lin Fan, are you really okay…?”
Zhou Yan walked worriedly to Lin Fan's side, carefully looking him up and down.
“How about we listen to the doctor and have the surgery?”
“Yeah, Lin Fan, don't force yourself,” Lu Zhai also stepped forward to advise.
“Don't worry. The moment I heard about the compensation, I was instantly healed~”
The corners of Lin Fan's mouth lifted. He gave Zhou Yan and the others a reassuring, brilliant smile, his white teeth clearly visible.
The crowd: “…”
Everyone stood frozen on the spot, completely at a loss.
They had heard that money can cure all ills, but they had never heard of someone being cured of injuries and diseases just by receiving money!
Under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Lin Fan slowly walked over to Zheng Shaohao.
“You have your phone on you, right?”
“Yes… what are you going to do?”
Zheng Shaohao looked confused, but still took his phone out of his pocket.
“Mind if I borrow it for a second~?”
Lin Fan took the phone from his hand. Then, with his back to the rest of the crowd, he lightly clapped his hands together right in front of him, and the entire phone turned into fine dust, scattering to the floor.
Seeing this, Zheng Shaohao's eyes widened in terror, and his hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.
He was certain that his eyes hadn't been playing tricks on him just now, nor was it some kind of magic trick!
Lin Fan had really, right in front of him, crushed his phone into dust—into pieces so fine that not even an industrial shredder could achieve it!
This was simply not something a human could do!
Suddenly recalling the words Lin Fan had spoken in the hall earlier, his gaze toward Lin Fan was gradually consumed by terror.
Could it be that everything he said before... was all true...?!
“Classmate Shaohao, one million. Don't you forget now~”
“Have it ready within two days, or else…”
At this, Lin Fan paused, leaned in close to Zheng Shaohao's ear, and 'kindly' reminded him:
“Or else… I will crush every bone in your body just like your phone, leaving you to lie in bed forever, wishing for a death that will never come~”
With that, Lin Fan gave Zheng Shaohao a 'friendly' pat on the shoulder.
He wasn't the least bit worried that Zheng Shaohao would tell anyone about what he could do.
First, this rich young master didn't have the guts.
Second, even if he did tell someone, no one in the world would believe him. On the contrary, he would likely be treated as a mental patient.
Furthermore, he could turn him into a real mental patient at any time.
The words of a deranged mental patient—who would believe them?
Lin Fan turned his head and waved to Zhou Yan and the others. “Let's go.”
“Oh… okay.”
Zhou Yan and the others snapped back to their senses and quickly hurried to catch up with Lin Fan.
Before leaving, Lin Fan didn't forget to turn back and instruct Zheng Shaohao:
“Oh, right. Remember to pay for the X-rays just now.”
Thump!
Zheng Shaohao collapsed heavily onto the floor, his face as pale as paper, cold sweat streaming down his body. He felt as if he had just taken a trip through the gates of hell and back.
After surviving the ordeal, his eyes couldn't help but fill with tears, and he burst out crying loudly in the hospital room, attracting a curious crowd of onlookers.
“What's wrong with him?”
“He's crying so miserably…”
“Maybe a relative passed away…”
