"President Peng, we meet again."
The Ancient Sorcerer spoke with a teasing tone, causing Peng Tian's face to flush red, yet he found himself at a loss for words.
"Ah, Mr. Luo, my illness hasn't been cured yet..."
The Ancient Sorcerer waved his hand, interrupting Peng Tian, and said, "Hmph! Not cured?! I remember you called me to say you wouldn't pay me anymore. If your illness wasn't already cured, would you dare to say that?"
"This... is a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding. As long as you cure my illness, I will definitely pay you."
With a glint of coldness in his eyes, the Ancient Sorcerer snorted and said, "First, the blood stasis in your brain has been treated; you can go to the hospital for a check-up. Second, transfer the money you owe me into my account right now, or get out of here. It's just three million; I don't need it."
Peng Tian stood there, his face alternating between red and white but speechless. After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "Alright... I'll call someone to transfer the money into the account right now."
Watching Peng Tian obediently walk out to make the call, Gu Fei smiled and said, "Looks like you were expecting this."
"Of course! I told you he wouldn't stand a chance against me."
Seeing the Ancient Sorcerer looking so pleased with himself, Gu Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes and asked, "So how do you plan to deal with him?"
Just then, the phone buzzed. The Ancient Sorcerer glanced at it and smiled, saying, "The money has arrived; Peng Tian should be coming back in now. The show is about to begin; this time I’ll make sure he suffers!"
The door opened, and Peng Tian walked in holding his phone, forcing a smile as he said, "Mr. Luo, the money has been transferred. Should we start treating my illness now?"
"Sure, but before that we need to discuss the fees. Given your credibility issues, this time full payment must be made upfront."
Peng Tian's heart skipped a beat, knowing he would have to let the Ancient Sorcerer take advantage of him again. But recalling what happened last night, he gritted his teeth and thought that he could at most pay another 6 million.
"Alright, no problem. Just like last time, 6 million. I'll pay it now."
"Wait!"
The Ancient Sorcerer raised a hand to stop Peng Tian from making the call and said, "Who said it's 6 million?"
"Then... 8 million?"
Peng Tian's face turned red and green with anger, but what could he do? He could only grit his teeth and raise the price. Unless he decided not to seek treatment from the Ancient Sorcerer, he would still have to pay.
However, the Ancient Sorcerer did not respond to Peng Tian but turned to Gu Fei, who was sitting nearby, and said, "Sister, I think some of the equipment in your hospital is getting old. It's time to introduce some new equipment, right?"
Gu Fei was taken aback. The equipment in the hospital was outdated? But it had just been updated on a large scale last year with the most advanced technology in the world. For a moment, she couldn't understand what the Ancient Sorcerer was getting at.
"Well... some of the equipment is indeed a bit old."
Even though she couldn't figure out the Ancient Sorcerer's intentions, Gu Fei still followed along with the conversation.
"If someone donates a sum for updating the hospital's equipment, I believe your hospital would be very happy to accept it."
A hint of a smile appeared on Gu Fei's face as she understood what the Ancient Sorcerer meant. She nodded immediately and said, "Of course! Our hospital warmly welcomes donations from all sectors of society. For such charitable individuals, we will have special measures to commend them, including free lifetime treatment for their immediate family members and naming sponsorship projects after them."
Peng Tian's face turned green as he understood the meaning of Ancient Sorcerer.
"Mr. Luo, how much do you think I should donate?"
Ancient Sorcerer raised a finger and said, "I think this amount should be enough; it might barely buy something."
Peng Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Ten million was still within his acceptable range, and since it was going to the hospital rather than directly into Ancient Sorcerer's pocket, it made him feel a bit better.
"Then I'll donate ten million for the hospital's medical equipment upgrade."
Bang!
Ancient Sorcerer slammed the teacup back onto the table, displaying a look of surprise, and exclaimed:
"What?! Ten million? What can ten million do nowadays? I said one hundred million!"
Gu Fei was dumbfounded. She had already been astonished when she heard Peng Tian was willing to donate ten million, and she never expected that Ancient Sorcerer would ask for one hundred million!
"Is this what he meant by surprise? This surprise is just too big!"
Looking at Ancient Sorcerer, Gu Fei suddenly felt that her mind wasn't quite up to the task.
"This... this..."
Peng Tian's eyes nearly bulged out. One hundred million? One hundred million? He couldn't believe his ears!
Ten million was already a huge amount, but Ancient Sorcerer actually said that ten million could do what? Didn't he know that 90% of people would never earn ten million in their lifetime?
His temples throbbed in succession, and Peng Tian felt like he was going crazy. He had seen people ask for high prices before, but this was the first time he encountered someone like Ancient Sorcerer!
"Hmph! Ancient Sorcerer, that amount is too excessive!"
Ancient Sorcerer shook his head, leisurely took a sip of tea, and then said, "Mr. Peng, this is my price. If you think it's too expensive, you can find someone else to treat you. You don't have to come to me, right? It's like Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai, one wants to hit and the other wants to take it. Don't you think so?"
"Fifteen million."
The injuries on his body were unknown, but after witnessing the wonders of Ancient Sorcerer, Peng Tian believed that the other party could definitely heal him; otherwise, he would have turned around and left long ago.
"Sorry, I don't negotiate here. One hundred million, or get lost."
"You!"
Peng Tian was so angry that he trembled all over, pointing at Ancient Sorcerer but didn't know how to continue.
Pointing at the door, Ancient Sorcerer added fuel to the fire by saying, "If you don't want to, you can leave. We don't welcome you here!"
"Fine! Fine! I don't believe there's only one capable person in this world! Kid, those who walk at night will eventually encounter ghosts. Be careful in Guanghai City."
"It's such a pity. You're threatening me again. The price has now risen to two hundred million. Of course, if you walk out that door, the next time you come looking for me, it won't be as simple as two hundred million."
So ruthless!
This is truly ruthless!
Increasing the price by one hundred million at a time, that's really harsh.
Gu Fei looked at the trembling Peng Tian and silently mourned for him. The Ancient Sorcerer he knew never fought battles without certainty, and since he said this, it was clear that Peng Tian's fate was sealed.
"You... you..."
In the end, Peng Tian couldn't find the words to say and slammed the door behind him with a loud bang.
"Wow~~~~"
Gu Fei picked up the teapot and filled the empty cup of the Ancient Sorcerer, then said, "If we can really secure over a hundred million in donations for the hospital, that would be fantastic."
"Don't worry, he'll obediently cough it up."
Recalling the sorcery in the hotel room, the Ancient Sorcerer was filled with confidence.
