Chapter 214: Chapter 214 My Father’s Life is Not That Cheap_1

"Mr. Flores, possessing such impressive abilities at such a young age, may I ask where you learned them from?"

Remy Johnston smiled and clinked glasses with Carson Flores, "As far as I know, even in the world of cultivators, there aren’t many who possess such a level of medical skills."

Carson Flores frankly replied, "My master is Andrew."

A look of surprise appeared on Remy Johnston’s face, and his eyes lit up with realization, "So you are a disciple of Master Andrew, no wonder. His medical skills are renowned throughout the entire cultivator world, not to mention his strength, he is unparalleled in both martial arts and medicine..."

Carson Flores said with a smile, "My master has a straightforward nature, speaks his mind, and acts directly. He’s offended quite a few people; hopefully, the Johnston Family isn’t among them?"

Remy Johnston replied with a laugh, "I’ve heard of Master Andrew’s character. True to the moniker ’The Madman,’ he’s a rare example of genuine personality, a real man. The Johnston Family has never dealt with Master Andrew, but we have long respected his great reputation."

Carson Flores disclosed his background for two reasons, firstly, there was no need to hide it, and secondly, he was preparing to form an alliance with the Johnston Family.

People with power and background are given more attention. For ordinary people, Carson Flores naturally did not need to reveal his background, but the Johnston Family was entitled to know.

To completely crush, cripple, or even annihilate the Miller Family, Carson Flores alone wouldn’t be enough; he needed help.

The Johnston Family was a wealthy and powerful house in Seashore, with strong influence and clout in the cultivator circles, as well as with the officials and the military. If the Johnston Family were willing to help, it would be a significant boost.

While Carson Flores individually had formidable combat power, and killing someone might be relatively simple, to utterly destroy a powerful clan, relying on martial force alone was clearly insufficient.

Understanding Carson Flores’s background, Remy Johnston became even more cordial and enthusiastic, and they enjoyed the drink to their hearts’ content.

As the meal was about to end, Remy Johnston placed a bank card in front of Carson Flores.

Carson Flores held his wine glass, glanced at the bank card, and laughed, "What’s this about?"

Remy Johnston smiled and said, "Mr. Flores, please don’t misunderstand, this card is not a token of gratitude from the Johnston Family. My father’s life is not so cheap. This is a token of thanks from Zara Stein, who asked me to give it to Mr. Flores. She promised a generous reward when she sought your help earlier, and since she made a promise, she intends to keep it. Moreover, by saving my father, you inadvertently helped her immensely, so it’s only right for her to thank you."

Carson Flores nodded. If the money were from the Johnston Family, it would mean that they might not want to get too involved with him, and although he would accept the money, he would not consider further contact with the Johnston Family.

Remy Johnston’s response was very gratifying. "You saved my father’s life, and we, the Johnston Family, won’t use money as a form of thanks. But we remember the great favor. The Johnston Family acknowledges this huge debt of gratitude and will spare no effort to repay it when the time is right."

"How is she doing?"

Remy Johnston laughed, "The onset of my father’s illness was somewhat her fault, but it was mostly due to my father’s pre-existing condition. Whatever her initial intentions, she did her utmost to save my father, who is now out of danger. Thankfully, this also led to us meeting Mr. Flores, which is a silver lining in the misfortune. So my father has not been hard on her, and will continue to support her financially. Therefore, Mr. Flores, you should take this card."

Since Remy Johnston put it that way, Carson Flores was not shy, "Alright, I’ll take it."

Remy Johnston smiled and clinked glasses with Carson Flores again, "Mr. Flores, your medical skills are exceptional. Do you have any thoughts on my father’s chronic illness?"

Carson Flores had anticipated this question and replied without surprise, "His lungs were likely injured during a fight with Inner Qi years ago. Even though it was treated, it never fully healed, and over the years, it turned into a chronic injury. By the time it was discovered, it was probably already too late..."

Remy Johnston nodded expectantly, looking at Carson Flores, "Is there a cure?"

Carson Flores said with a smile, "It is treatable. With acupuncture and medication, we’ll see improvement in half a month, but to fully recover, it will take at least half a year, as chronic conditions are hard to cure completely and require gradual recuperation."

Remy Johnston asked with surprise, "It can be completely cured?"

Carson Flores nodded, "Yes."

Remy Johnston immediately became excited. His father’s illness had troubled him for many years, and due to his physical condition, there were already voices within the family suggesting he was unfit to lead the family any longer and that they should choose another Family Head. For Taylor and Remy Johnston, this was obviously an unacceptable outcome.

If Carson Flores could cure Taylor Johnston’s illness and restore his health, with his cultivator’s strength and methods, he could easily lead the family for another decade or more without any issues. After those years, Remy Johnston’s power and status within the family would be even more secure, making it easier for him to take over the position of the Family Head of the Johnston Family.

"Mr. Flores, my father has suffered greatly because of this illness, and there have been murmurs among the clan members. Please lend your assistance, and we father and son will surely provide a generous reward," Remy Johnston said earnestly.

Carson Flores readily agreed, "No problem."

Remy Johnston sighed with relief upon Carson Flores’s agreement and said earnestly, "I won’t talk about money with Mr. Flores. You’re not in need of it. I’ll just say this, if Mr. Flores ever needs anything, you have but to ask and my son and I will definitely do our utmost to assist."
