Chapter 141 Men... no one is good

Thirty minutes... just thirty minutes were used to stitch his wound, and now he had to pay 500,000 gold coins, bringing his total debt to this doctor to 700,000 gold coins.

Even if he sold everything he had, he wouldn't have enough money to pay off his debt, except for the Black Rose Flame.

Alec felt a little regretful, no, extremely regretful that he went to the 15th floor and met that damn old guy who used a stone pillar to stab his 'daisy'.

Not only that, he was also teleported by that damn old man to the middle of the hall of the Enchanter Tower.

If there was an award for tragic main characters, Alec would probably win first place.

The doctor stood next to his hospital bed, holding the second debt contract that Alec had just signed, his eyes showing a bit of joy.

In fact, in order to stitch up Alec's wound, the doctor spent two hours the first time.

Even though it was only a small wound, during the stitching process, the doctor vomited many times. Besides... This was the first time that he performed such a stitch.

However, the second time, he only felt a little nauseous, so his speed was many times faster.

The third time... this time, the doctor completely lost his sense of nausea. When he saw Alec's 'daisy' soaked in blood and feces, the doctor felt that it was extremely normal.

So, that's also the reason why, this time, it only took him thirty minutes to sew Alec's 'daisy'.

The doctor smiled and said: "Hahaha... Thank you. I hope you can repay the debt on time."

"AH! If your 'daisy' is torn a fourth time, the price will still be 500,000 gold coins, it won't change."

*Sigh* That doctor sighed: "After all, I am a doctor. If I continuously increase the cost of treatment, I will be like some greedy nobles."

"I am such a kind doctor."

Alec: "PFFF!!!"

Alec almost spat out a mouthful of blood, however, he tried to suppress his emotions, otherwise, he was afraid his 'daisy' would be torn apart again.

"You... you..." Alec gritted his teeth, his face pale from losing too much blood: "Do you want my 'daisy' to tear again? You are so cruel!"

The doctor shrugged and said: "You can't scold me, after all, it's your hobby. You can search all over Karol, no, search all over this continent and see..."

"If you find a second person who has had their 'daisy' torn three times in two days, if you find such a person, I will waive all treatment costs free of charge."

Alec was extremely angry when he heard that. He just gasped for air. In the end, he could only try to control his anger.

"You... one day, I will take my revenge."

Hearing that Alec wanted revenge, the doctor was, of course, not afraid. He didn't even care, he just indifferently said: "Before taking revenge, remember to pay me all your debt."

"Remember, you only have 7 days to pay back the entire 700,000 gold coins you owe."

Alec clenched his fists until they turned white. At this moment, Laura frowned and said: "What are you doing?"

"Hmm?!" Alec was startled: "What do you mean?"

Laura glanced at Alec and said: "This doctor treated you when no one else wanted to treat you. This is even the first time I've seen someone treat a patient and allow a debt contract to be signed."

"You're not grateful, instead, what's the point of clenching your fists like that? Do you want to attack him?"

"I... I..." Alec loosened his grip, his mouth faltering as he did not know how to explain.

'Damn it! He cheated me of 700,000 gold coins, and you won't even let me show a little of my anger?'

"I am a genius. I have the Black Rose Flame, my value is countless times higher than Lathel, will everyone kill me for a useless person like him?"

"You..." Medos didn't know what to say, in the end, he sighed and advised Alec: "You still have time to leave Karol, otherwise..."

"Teacher, stop advising me. I... am the protagonist, a child of fate... I... cannot fail."

Medos was silent for a long moment, he then sighed, as he felt very disappointed in Alec.

"Alec, you and Lathel signed a peace contract, you cannot kill him."

Alec smiled disdainfully and said, "Yes, he and I have indeed signed a peace contract. However, Lafien didn't."

...

At the Montague family.

Malina slowly woke up, and when she saw that she was lying in an extremely luxurious room, she was startled and sat up.

"Miss..." Claire stood next to the bed. Seeing Malina awake, she was so happy that she cried: "Finally... you finally woke up."

Claire rushed forward and hugged Malina tightly. Malina tilted her head... she looked at Claire, then asked: "Claire... I... I'm still alive?"

"That's right." Claire nodded, unable to control her emotions, as she continuously stroked Malina's hair: "We're still alive. Not only that, Mardian also let us live in the Montague family's most luxurious area."

Malina nodded, her face not showing too much joy.

She asked softly: "Who is it?"

"Heh?!" Claire slowly let go of Malina. Looking at her indifferent face, she felt extremely confused.

Malina said again: "Who saved us?"

Claire pursed her lips tightly. In her heart, she really wanted to say that the person who saved her was Lathel, but she promised Lathel not to say this.

"Why don't you answer?" Malina frowned and asked: "Is it Alec?"

Finally, Claire nodded slightly: "Yes, it's him."

"Huh!" Malina snorted in contempt: "I also guessed that the person who saved me was him."

"Why?" Claire asked confusedly: "How did you know that the person who saved you is Alec?"

"So, who do you think will save me?" Malina said annoyedly: "My father? No, he will never do that. Besides... my injuries are too severe, he won't spend a lot of resources to save a useless person like me."

"Only Alec has what it takes to save me. But... I just feel strange because he once refused to save us because we were no longer worth anything. So... why did he still save me?"

Claire didn't know how to answer, she quickly changed the subject: "Master, at the end of the day Alec saved us, and we don't need to care about his reasons."

"The most important thing is... we... how we should thank him."

Malina glanced at Claire, then smiled contemptuously: "Hahahah... why should I thank him?"

"Because..." Claire faltered.

"Huh! He is my knight, do you understand, Claire?" Malina suddenly shouted: "Saving me is his responsibility. Why should we thank him?"

"I haven't scolded him yet for abandoning me when I was most desperate. Even if he saved me later, that was only his responsibility."

"Besides... Since he saved me, there must have been some conspiracy. Either... he wants my body or he needs me to do something."

Malina's eyes suddenly became sharp and filled with anger: "Claire, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand?"

"There are no good men."
