Chapter 975: Not an Exaggerated Bill, How to Repay the Huge Debt
"Just tell me! How can we save him?" Natasha was not as worried as Wanda, so she asked directly, "You must be able to save him, otherwise you wouldn't have spent so much time keeping him alive."
Aaron spread his hands without commenting, "That's right, in this world, apart from miraculous supernatural powers, I am the only one who can save him. At least the current level of human medical technology cannot bring him back from the brink of death."
"so?"
"I can save him, but..." Aaron looked at Wanda meaningfully but said nothing.
"I understand." Wanda bit her lip in confusion, her tone full of embarrassment mixed with a little relief, "I, I can agree to marry you."
"Haha!" Natasha gave Aaron a disdainful look, "What is this? Returning a favor?
Your cousin really didn’t lie! But isn’t this kind of deal a bit...dirty?"
Aaron: ???
What on earth were they thinking of?
“You two, for the sake of my reputation, I feel the need to explain clearly.
First of all, I don’t deny that I have eyes that appreciate beauty, and Wanda Maximoff is indeed very beautiful, and she fits my aesthetic taste.”
"Uh...thank you." Wanda lowered her head embarrassedly.
"Just listen to me, okay?" Aaron rubbed his forehead tiredly, "I don't think I'm a gentleman, but I still take relationships very seriously.
I respect every woman who deserves respect. If I like a woman, I will pursue her openly and honestly, and I will never use any despicable means. "
"Anyone can say nice things." Natasha didn't care. "Agents are more concerned with evidence."
"Evidence?" Aaron sneered, "Do I have the right to tell you that?"
"I think it's better for you to explain it." Natasha said with a teasing smile, "Wouldn't it be better to make it clear in front of the real owner?"
Fuck!
This guy is just looking for fun and not minding the big deal! The fire of gossip is burning in his eyes!
“Natasha Romanoff.” Aaron forced a stiff smile, “You’d better not beg me for anything.
I'll remember this, and I won't help you even if you beg me in the future."
"We'll talk about it then."
Aaron rolled his eyes, then winked at Jane.
Jane immediately understood and took out a pen and paper from the drawer, "I'm ready, boss."
“Ahem!” Aaron coughed solemnly and looked at Wanda meaningfully, “Yesterday I pulled your brother back from the brink of death.
Acupressure to stop bleeding, CPR, bullet removal... one million dollars."
"One million? US dollars?" Wanda subconsciously read out this very exaggerated number for them.
"Is it expensive?" Aaron asked, "You know very well what you felt yesterday. It was only after Pietro died that you felt the heart-wrenching pain.
And yesterday's surgery was something that only I could do in this world."
"No, it's not expensive."
"I'll make a note of it."
Jane raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and quickly wrote a line of small words on the paper.
The sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper made Wanda's scalp tingle and Natasha's face twitch.
"Fertile Seed." Aaron continued, "It is a banned drug. Even for a regeneration master like me, it takes a lot of time and resources to cultivate it.
I gave Pietro one yesterday. It cost 10 million US dollars. Isn't that too expensive?"
"Not really." Wanda shook her head numbly.
Jane made another note on the paper and then added, "And the bandages on his body, do you want to calculate them?"
"Forget it! It won't be more than a hundred dollars, so just waive it." Aaron waved his hand indifferently, "Eleven million, this is yesterday's fee.
As for today’s, that’s another matter.”
Aaron said as he walked to the counter and took down several bottles of clear liquid, "These are the tears of the Phoenix. As for the price... it's a bit cheap, one billion US dollars."
"One billion?" Wanda's eyes widened. "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Agent Romanov, could you please tell her if this price is exaggerated?"
Natasha's mouth twitched, and she smiled awkwardly under Wanda's slightly expectant gaze: "It's not an exaggeration. If these things were in Stark's hands, he could sell them for 2 billion."
"This, this expensive medicine is for Pietro?"
"Phoenix tears can perfectly heal all injuries. Your brother has been beaten to a pulp, and this medicine is the only way to repair his wounds.
Of course, if you don’t want, you can keep him in suspended animation.”
"No, I must cure him."
"I'll make a note of it."
"Okay, boss."
"And this one." Aaron pointed to the only nurse mascot grass in the room. "You can think of it as a medical cabin for the regeneration division. Is that okay with you paying 100,000 yuan?"
Wanda shook her head, speechless.
"How much is it in total?" Aaron looked at Jane and asked.
"A total of one billion eleven hundred thousand."
Aaron nodded slightly, then tore off the bill and placed it in front of Natasha meaningfully, "Are you satisfied with this evidence?"
Natasha glanced at Wanda, who was almost petrified, and turned away guiltily.
Originally, this sky-high bill had nothing to do with her, but who told her to have nothing better to do than to make fun of Aaron?
“What about you? Wanda, if you don’t mind, I’ll treat Pietro right away.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will recover in a few hours at most.”
"No problem." Wanda forced a smile. "It's only 10 billion. I don't think we can pay it back even if we work our whole lives."
“Be more confident and remove the word ‘estimate’.
Not only will you not be able to pay it back in this life, you will also have a hard time in your next life.
Also, to correct you, it is 1,111,100,000 U.S. dollars, in whole and small amounts.”
"How about I just marry you and waive the bill?"
"You're almost tempting me." Aaron said half-jokingly, "But don't bother with that. Promise me a few things and the bill can be waived."
"what's up?"
"Fate has instructed me to protect you, so I need you to stay with me and not run around." Aaron said bluntly.
What is protection? It is protection only when it is under our noses.
Otherwise, given her performance in the Sokovia incident, who knows what kind of trouble she might get him into one day.
“Jane will prepare a room for you on the first floor, and you will live here with me from now on.
You can’t leave early and come back late, you can’t stay out all night, and even if you want to go on vacation, you have to tell me in advance. "
"Is this something?"
“That’s a billion.”
"Deal." Wanda said immediately, fearing that Aaron would go back on his word.
Aaron smiled and shook his head, crossing out the line of Phoenix Tears on the bill.
"Don't join SHIELD, that's 10 million."
Wanda hesitated for a moment, "Why? SHIELD's style is still very good!"
“Nick Fury did save a lot of people in Sokovia yesterday, but don’t get any misunderstanding from that.
He was the biggest old jerk I'd ever known in this world.
If you join SHIELD, he will definitely ask you to do a lot of inexplicably dangerous tasks, and I can't just watch you go, and then... he can use you to tie me up and kill me."
Wanda frowned slightly and turned to look at Natasha, "Is your director really... like this?"
"How should I put it?" Natasha pursed her lips in embarrassment. "Fury's ability is still very reliable, but he tends to think too much in that position, so... as long as it is beneficial to protecting the world, his character and bottom line will be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation."
"Did you hear that?" Aaron shrugged. "I'm really not trying to make things difficult for you."
"Okay! I promise you I won't join SHIELD."
"Then... unless you have to, don't use your abilities in front of ordinary people. This is one million." Aaron said very seriously, "I specially asked Nick Fury to prepare legal identities for you and Pietro, and in exchange for the favors I had done in the past, I was able to get you out of the Sokovia incident.
But once you use your abilities, become a so-called superhero, and enter the public eye, then this matter will inevitably be brought up again.
Then you will understand what it means to be in the arena and have no choice. "
Wanda nodded, "Got it."
Aaron crossed out two more lines on the bill, “There’s still 110,000 left.
One hundred thousand of them were used to persuade Pietro not to join S.H.I.E.L.D. and not to use his super powers in front of ordinary people."
"I can persuade him not to join S.H.I.E.L.D., but I can't persuade him not to use his super powers.
Besides, his ability is super speed, even if ordinary people use it, they can't detect it."
Aaron pondered for a moment, "Try to persuade him! This is for his own good.
It doesn’t matter if I can’t persuade him, I care about you anyway, it doesn’t matter what he does.”
Wanda blushed, "I'll do my best."
"As for the last ten thousand... I will personally fund two normal jobs for you. You can choose to accept it or not."
"Only this?"
"What else? Don't you think it's enough?"
"No, I just feel a little...baffling." Wanda said with a strange look on her face. Just a moment ago they were still burdened with a huge debt, but in the blink of an eye the debt was gone, replaced by incredible relief and care.
"You'll get used to it later. Now let's wake up Pietro first!" Aaron walked over to the nurse mascot grass, opened the carnivorous plant that looked like a man-eating plant, and poured several bottles of Phoenix Tears into its giant mouth.
He then grabbed Pietro's arm and threw him.
boom!
The nurse mascot Grass seemed to sense the scent of food and opened its mouth wide to swallow Pietro.
"Is this... really no problem?"
“Relax, this is a plant that specializes in devouring injuries.
Although Pietro was seriously injured, with the combination of Phoenix Tears and the effect of the disease-eating plants, you will soon see him jumping around in full swing."
Hearing this, Wanda breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, I haven't returned your clothes to you yet!" Wanda ran out, and when she came back, she had a wrapped blue-black windbreaker in her hands. "I wanted to wash it, but it looks so clean, it's like new."
"It's a magical tool! Isn't it natural that it has the function of dustproofing?" Aaron took the windbreaker very naturally and put it on himself without any hesitation.
"Natasha, if there's nothing else you can leave."
After receiving the order to leave, Natasha rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Wanda, take care of yourselves.
Also, if you need anything in the future, you can always contact me, you know which number to call.”
Wanda nodded and sat down next to the nurse mascot grass.
Aaron touched the emerald ring on his right hand and felt relieved.
After reaching those agreements with Wanda, the Scarlet Witch will not bring him any adverse influence, at least not in the short term, so he can breathe a sigh of relief.
He took out the 'Lemanno Magic Book' without any hesitation and carved powerful magic on the blank pages.
But when I actually recorded it, I realized how restrictive this book is on high-intensity magic.
It was just an ultimate magic, but he had tried to record it more than ten times without success. However, his own magic power was not damaged at all due to the failure of recording.
After half an hour, more than one third of the magic power was consumed, and a ray of light-attributed ultimate magic finally occupied a blank page. However, in terms of power, it was probably not even half of the original power, and was only slightly stronger than high-level magic.
Aaron wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and felt that even fighting was not as tiring as this.
Hela's evaluation of this book is quite fair. It is not a treasure, but it is practical enough.
"Let's start recording from the low-level magic!" Aaron thought helplessly. The consumption of magic power was making even this mid-level great magician unable to bear it.
At this time, he noticed Wanda's absent-mindedness and comforted her with a smile: "Don't be so tense. According to my arrangement, we will all have a bright future."
"I'm just a little nervous. After all, I just... lost him yesterday."
"You need to get some good sleep. When you wake up you'll find everything is different."
"Thanks for your kindness, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep."
Aaron looked at Wanda for a while and found some fatigue in her eyes. "Maybe I should prepare a breakfast for you. Is there anything you shouldn't eat?"
"Uh...no."
"That's good." Aaron turned his head and looked at Jane who was standing beside him. "Jane, please bring her some food."
"Okay." Jane left in a flash, and ten seconds later she came back with a food cart, which had bread, hamburgers, French fries, juice, fruit, and cakes.
Smelling the fragrance of the food, Wanda swallowed unconsciously, and her stomach growled.
"Don't force yourself, just eat something!
Although they are just snacks, at least they can fill my stomach.”
Wanda smiled sheepishly, picked up a cake and started eating.
The soft and glutinous texture and perfect sweetness instantly conquered the girl's heart, making her chew faster.
