Spending a billion dors to treat both cancer and impotence—cancer now seemed like the better deal.<fncf87> For original chapters go to find?novel</fncf87>


    Johnson was dumbfounded and blurted out, “A billion dors could buy an entire hospital…”


    Then, turning quickly to Hank, he asked, “Mr. Hank, what kind of treatment was so expensive? Was it some groundbreaking new equipment? A revolutionary targeted drug?”


    Hank raised an eyebrow. “You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?”


    Johnson pressed further. “Try to recall—what kind of treatment did you receive in China? What was the environment like? Did they take you to a high-tech treatment room, maybe something like our CT or radiotherapy rooms?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Hank shook his head. “No, the treatment took ce in a private hotel room.”


    “A hotel room?!”


    Johnson was in disbelief. “That’s impossible! Medical treatments require strict environmental conditions. How could they possibly conduct one in a hotel room?”


    Hank shrugged. “I wouldn’t believe it either if I hadn’t been there. But it was in a hotel room.”


    Johnson pressed on. “If that’s true, then there couldn’t have been any advanced medical equipment. Did they at least give you some special medication?”


    “No.” Hank said tly. “No oral medicine, no medical devices. They just talked to meplete nonsense, really. Then they told me I was fine, so I left and came back.”


    Johnson was stunned. “This… this has to be a joke. You returned without receiving any actual treatment?”


    Hank smirked. “Well, my cancer’s gone, isn’t it? The tumor vanished. So clearly, they treated me. The method was just too advanced for me to understand… and for you to understand, too.”


    Johnson murmured, “But this defies basic logic. If theypletely eradicated your cancer cells, there must have been some direct intervention. Yet, ording to you, they didn’t do anything.”


    Hank replied, “Maybe it’s the metaphysics of the East. Don’t we have simr beliefs in the West? Toss a cross into water, and it bes holy water capable of exorcising demons. We usually dismiss these as folklore, but if we ever encountered a real demon, maybe it would actually work.”


    Johnson hesitated. “But those are just legends, stories, and fictional portrayals. When ites to medicine, we have to trust science…”


    Hank waved him off. “Fine, go ahead and believe in your science. I’ve been exhausted these past two days—I need rest. Just make sure I get the CA199 results as soon as theye in.”


    Johnson understood he was being dismissed, but he was reluctant to leave without getting more answers. Quickly, he said, “Mr. Hank, would you mind introducing me to the doctor who treated you? If possible, I’d like to meet him and see for myself.”


    Hank smirked and thought, If I introduce you to charlie Wade, who knows how he’ll deal with me? Besides, you’re not going to get anything out of him anyway.


    With that in mind, he waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t bother asking. He’s a reclusive master—he won’t meet you.”


    Then, he shot a nce at his personal doctor.


    Catching the cue, the doctor immediately stepped forward and said, “Dr. Johnson, Mr. Hank needs rest. Please step out for now.”
