In order to get a medical license, one would need to familiarize oneself with the medical laws in America and other related rules. This would be like going through high school all over again, which would also mean that Chen Zhao would not have a stable source of income for an extended period of time.
The money he had at the moment was certainly not sufficient to sustain him until then.
Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Zhao decided to accept Ethan’s suggestion.
“Chen, since you have accepted my idea, I also have to make some rules clear to you first. My only responsibility is to be an intermediary, with a 20% commission. Of course, that only applies to the clients I introduce to you. If you manage to find any clients yourself, I will not be involved. Also, you can choose to reject certain clients. Moreover, your relation with the clients can only be treatment-based, and definitely nothing more. You can occasionally have sexual relations though, as long as you do not end up developing feelings for each other or getting into conflicts. In addition, you must not reveal any information about the patients to anyone else, especially their secrets or flaws. Even I cannot disclose them. This will be good for you, me, and the clients.”
“Got it.”
“And, you can only accept cash from the clients. There must not be any transaction trails. Otherwise, the IRA will be able to track you down. You must only treat them after receiving your pay, because some clients have very unstable financial circumstances. Perhaps when you are trying to get your debt back, they will have already died in some corner. Lastly, if a client asks you to sign a medical certificate, you must not do it, no matter how much they pay you. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”
“As for your safety, you can rest assured. Even if your patient is the head of some criminal gang, and even if during the process you see something you shouldn’t, nobody will touch you. This is a solid rule in the profession. After all, if they dare to hurt you, nobody will treat them in the future. So you don’t have to worry at all.”
“Ethan, are you very familiar with this?”
“I have never worked with a doctor, but I have been an intermediary for other things. The rules are really all the same.”
Although Ethan and Chen Zhao had already reached an agreement, they would not leave any paper contracts. They would only give each other a verbal promise.
Chen Zhao returned to his room. Beelzebub grabbed a burger and started eating it right under the sunlight that shone through the windows.
“Beelzebub, are you demons not scared of sunlight?”
“Idiot human, I’m not a vampire.”
“Do vampires really exist?”
“Since demons exist, why would vampires not exist?”
“Are they in the human world or in hell?”
“Hell. There are definitely not any here.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“Vampire is actually a branch of demons. In the last a thousand years, no demons have ever come to the human world. The vampire subspecies that were left here in the past have certainly all died. How can there be any vampires here?”
“What subspecies?”
“The subspecies refer to the ones with vampire characteristics, but they can’t reproduce.”
Chen Zhao asked curiously, “Aren’t vampires immortal?”
“How can they be immortal? There’s nothing in this world that is truly immortal. Neither demons nor gods, not to mention vampires. Most vampires can only live for five hundred years, and they can’t even increase their lifespan through demonic crystals.”
“How do vampire reproduce? Does a person become one after being bitten?”
“No! Pure-blooded vampires use the usual sexual reproduction, just like humans and other demons. On the other hand, vampire subspecies need very special rituals for conversion. But I’m not a vampire, so I don’t know the process.”
“Beelzebub, is it because of the demonic crystal that you are unwilling to return to hell?”
“Are you saying that you’ll give it to me?”
Chen Zhao pondered for a while. After all, Beelzebub had helped him greatly the day before, so he did not mind giving the demonic crystal to him.
Chen Zhao opened the metallic box only to find that another demonic crystal had appeared inside. It was significantly larger than the first one.
What? Why are there two crystals?
Does this box produce demonic crystals?
No… there must be special reasons.
Chen Zhao recalled the events that had happened the day before and had some preliminary guesses.
Was it because he saved people?
The first demon crystal appeared after he called Ethan to deliver food to his room, allowing him to avoid the dangerous robber.
Was the appearance of the second crystal due to the fact that he had saved that girl?
“Beelzebub, how many years of life can this demonic crystal grant?”
Right away, Beelzebub turned into a real Shar Pei. He lied on the ground before Chen Zhao and stuck his tongue out, his eyes glittering brightly.
“At least five years! How many demonic crystals do you have?”
“It’s none of your business. Take this, and scram back to hell, now.”
Woof!
Beelzebub took the crystal with his mouth, after which he slowly disappeared.
Chen Zhao grabbed the smaller demonic crystal, wondering if it had any uses to humans.
He should have asked Beelzebub how to use it.
Just then, Chen Zhao’s phone rang. “Chen, are you free? I’ve found you a client. You’ll get paid three hundred dollars.”
“What illness is it?”
“I have no clue, but it seems to be urgent.”
“Send the address to my phone.”
“Done. If you don’t know the place, you can find Vincent. He has been driving for ten years and is very familiar with Los Angeles. You have his number right?”
“Right.”
Chen Zhao called Vincent, who happily agreed to help.
Soon, Chen Zhao was in Vincent’s taxi.
Vincent made many turns in the city. After twenty minutes, they arrived at their destination.
Chen Zhao rolled down the car window. “Is this the place?”
Before them was a villa surrounded by many palm trees. A metal gate was present at the entrance.
Chen Zhao walked to the gate and said to the guard, “Hey buddy, I’m the doctor. Mr. Dell has an appointment with me.”
“Wait a second.” The guard took out a walkie talkie. After confirming Chen Zhao’s identity, he allowed him through the gate.
From afar, Chen Zhao could already hear loud music and delighted voices from men and women.
When he passed by a swimming pool, he saw many men in swimming trunks and women in bikinis playing either in the water or beside the pool.
Inside the villa, there were similarly many love birds flirting with each other. Some were even making out at the corners of the building.
Under the guidance of the guard, Chen Zhao pushed open the door to a bedroom.
There was a couple inside the room. The woman was a blonde, white lady. She was sitting in front of the windows, holding a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
The lady only had her bra on and her sexy body was fully exposed.
On the other hand, the man was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head lowered and seemed somewhat upset.
“Boss, this is your doctor.”
“Asian?”
“Do you have a problem with that?” Chen Zhao put down his instrument box.
“Nope. Help me, quick.”
“What problem do you have?”
The man removed the bath towel that was covering his lower body. “I can’t get hard.”
