BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1023 Who Tricked Who?
Nikkawa Uchu was one of the most powerful emperors in the history of Japan. He was influential and dominant—he had never submitted to anyone!
But today, for the sake of making Chen Xiaobei stay, he conceded!
It was inconceivable!
To him, 1,000 Spiritual Stones to the Japanese Imperial family was not a small sum!
In Paradise Island, Nikkawa Okazaka had paid a whopping 8,000 Spiritual Stones to the devious Chen Xiaobei for a ten-thousand-years-old Ambergris. This stones had been taken from the Bank of Japan and the Divine Sovereign Sect\'s treasury, they had nearly emptied out their resources.
Now they had to pay another 2,000 Spiritual Stones, there may not be enough left in the Bank of Japan so he might need to borrow some from the Divine Sovereign Sect.
Nikkawa Uchu was truly sincere when he conceded.
But instead of appreciating the earnest offer, Chen Xiaobei forced him further into a corner.
"3,000 Spiritual Stones. Not a single stone lesser!" Chen Xiaobei said in a composed, authoritative tone.
"What? 3,000 Spiritual Stones?"
No one could believe what they had just heard.
It was already a miracle that the emperor would even concede.
Who would have thought that Chen Xiaobei would push him to go further?!
He was clearly trying to challenge Nikkawa Uchu\'s authority!
Nikkawa Uchu\'s poker face finally broke and rearranged itself into a nostril flaring, red hot glower.
"Miracle Dr. Chen! Raising the price at someone\'s misfortune is not the act of a gentleman!"
"I\'m not raising the price! It\'s called selling at the marked price!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, "Healing your crown prince costs 2,000 Spiritual Stones. But don\'t forget that I gave consultation services to two other patients. I\'m only charging 500 Spiritual Stones for each of them. That\'s pretty reasonable, don\'t you think?"
"That…"
Nikkawa Uchu was suddenly lost for words. He turned his murderous glare toward Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi.
It was all their fault. They just had to go and taunt Chen Xiaobei.
Now the 1,000 Spiritual Stones had increased to 3,000! Even if he were to borrow from the Divine Sovereign Sect, he might not have enough to pay!
Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi felt like they being watched a wild beast, ready to pounce at any seconds. Their hearts thumped violently inside their chest and their breathing quickened.
"Miracle Dr, Chen, I only need you to cure my son. I don\'t care about these two!" Nikkawa Uchu said heartlessly.
"What? You are the majestic emperor of Japan but you can\'t even hand over such a small amount of stones?" Chen Xiaobei said sarcastically.
"I…"
The corners of Nikkawa Uchu\'s lips twitched, his face a deep scarlet.
"Oh? Was I right? You really can\'t come up with 3,000 Spiritual Stones?"
Chen Xiaobei looked at emperor disdainfully. He had wanted to drop by the treasury and do a sweep but apparently there were no Spiritual Stones left. How disappointing.
Since that was the case, then he might as bleed them dry now.
Chen Xiaobei offered, "Alright, so you pay the 2,000 Spiritual Stones for the crown prince. And if the both of them wants to be cured, they will have to pay me 500 Spiritual Stones each. They must have some Spiritual Stones in their private stash?"
"I don\'t care about them! They are on their own!" Nikkawa Uchu said, "The Spiritual Stones from my part will arrive within an hour!"
"I\'m willing to pay from my own pocket…"
"Me to… We\'ll call our men to send them over… It will come…"
Both Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi wasted no time. For the sake of their future happiness and sexual wellbeing, they could not afford to be stingy!
"Alright. It\'s settled then. I will go examine the patient first. When the Spiritual Stones arrive, I will cure the both of you!" Chen Xiaobei said before entering the wards and checked up on Nikkawa Okazaka.
Of course, he did not really do it!
Let us not forget that Chen Xiaobei was a professional actor.
He put on a show in the ward, expertly examining the patient, deceiving his audience.
Chen Xiaobei would never do justice to such despicable and vile enemies!
He would take their Spiritual Stones, but he would not do the job they paid him to do. He wanted to get under their skin!
After almost an hour, all the Spiritual Stones had arrived. Chen Xiaobei administered two inert prescriptions to Nikkawa Kyohachi and Nikkawa Susumu.
After that, he performed acupuncture on Nikkawa Okazaka.
"Oh my… Miracle Dr. Chen! You truly are marvelous! I feel much better down there! Thank you so much…" Nikkawa Okazaka, who had recovered a little, thanked Chen Xiaobei.
What he did not know was that Chen Xiaobei had merely enlarged his blood vessel, which allowed the clotted blood to flow. In reality, it did not have any remedial effect.
Also, Chen Xiaobei would never come back.
"Mmm… Your injuries are still fresh so we\'ll just stop here today. Tomorrow at this time, we\'ll continue your treatment!" Chen Xiaobei bluffed.
When he was done, he took off in his car with the 3,000 Spiritual stones.
Immediately after, Nikkawa Okasaka sent Amasa Hiko and Amasa Yuki away.
The few people left in the ward had a sudden change of mind.
"Your royal highness, that idiot is just too sly! He charged us 3,000 Spiritual Stones! We can\'t just let him go!" Nikkawa Kyohachi said through clenched teeth.
"Yes! Let me call my men to follow him and take the stones back!"
Nikkawa Susumu rolled up his sleeves. He wanted his Spiritual Stones back and Chen Xiaobei dead.
"Shut your mouth, the both of you! You got the medication you need! I\'m the one who\'s stuck on this bed!" Nikkawa Okazaka spat. "Wait until my wedding is done, then we\'ll catch that bugger and destroy him! We\'ll make sure he suffers for belittling our country!"
Nikkawa Uchu nodded and said, "Very good. It looks like you\'re all grown up!"
Cold sweat beaded Yamagushi Takka\'s forehead.
This was the Nikkawa Family! Two-faced, double-crossing murderers! They would be laughing with you one second and stabbing you in the back the next second!
What a shame!
They thought that they had fooled Chen Xiaobei. Little did they know that Chen Xiaobei had already siphoned all 3,00 of the Spiritual Qi into the Green Jade Gourd, abandoned the car by the road and disappeared into the remote mountains on the Somersault Cloud!
What\'s more, Chen Xiaobei would not be coming back!
The three idiots had paid him the 3,000 Spiritual Stones but they could forget about getting treated.
The truth was, Chen Xiaobei had already pegged them for a bunch of numbskulls!
