Chapter 285 Implantation of New Prosthesis

Misty felt a little relieved, but only a little. After all, an ugly daughter-in-law always feels uneasy when meeting her parents-in-law.

I thought Misty had already talked to Mrs. Wales, but I didn't expect Jack to have completely forgotten about it.

Fortunately, I gave Misty a heads up when we were being affectionate with each other.

Misty also thought it was a good idea, so she wanted to take some time to talk to Mrs. Welsh with Jack.

It was really Ling Luxian's fault. If he hadn't arranged for Jack to protect Lucius, with Jack's wild energy, he would have gone to meet his mother-in-law with Misty a long time ago. Why would they have to wait until now?

Seeing that Misty was still in a dilemma, Ling Luxian suggested, "If you can't make up your mind, just use the tarot cards to tell your fortune. It's free anyway."

"Haha." Misty smiled and said, "Forget it. It's impossible to tell fortunes for yourself. Thank you for your kindness. I will find time to talk to Mrs. Wales."

"That's right." Ling Luxian reminded again: "When you go, don't forget to praise Jack more. Jack is Mrs. Wales's darling. It's right to praise Jack as much as you can."

Misty smiled, "Thanks for the reminder."

"Okay, I won't say any more. Misty, you deal with people all the time and your emotional intelligence is better than mine, so I won't teach you anything. I'm going to go find Lao Wei now, and we'll see you later."

Ling Luxian waved his hand, said goodbye to Misty, and walked towards the basement, Victor's prosthetic clinic.

After he left, Misty thought about Ling Luxian's suggestion and thought it was feasible. She decided to ask Jack what Mrs. Welsh liked and she would visit her.

Ling Luxian pushed open the sliding door, and saw that Lao Wei was not sitting there drinking beer and watching the boxing match as usual.

Instead, he was receiving a patient, who seemed to be a mercenary. He was shot while serving a commission.

"It's you?" Tasha was a little angry when she saw Ling Luxian.

"Long time no see." Milek lay on the prosthetic operating chair and waved to Ling Luxian.

Because the movement was too large, the wound was affected, causing Milek to grimace in pain.

"Don't move, young man. It will be fine in a moment."

When Ling Luxian saw them, he suddenly remembered. Aren't these the two scavenger boys? It's funny to think that they dreamed of being scavengers and eventually became the best.

"You guys?" Ling Luxian said to Victor, "Old Victor, these two are old acquaintances. For my sake, give them a 20% discount and I'll pay for it."

"How can we do this?" Milek waved his hands repeatedly. After all, Ling Luxian had already helped them a lot, so how could he be allowed to suffer again by treating himself?

Tasha didn't care about all that. When she heard Ling Luxian say there was a 20% discount, all she could see was the shadow of European sword.

He nudged Milek with his elbow, signaling him to stop talking nonsense, and said to Ling Luxian, "Then it's settled."

Ling Luxian shook his head. Compared to Tasha, Ling Luxian liked Milek more.

This kid knows etiquette and knows when to advance and retreat. Although he went astray and became a scavenger before, in fact, he is not a crooked kid, but a decent person.

Tasha is different, a true desperado who plays with her life. As long as there is profit, even if it means losing her life, she will rush to grab it as soon as possible.

When doing things, he never thinks about retreat, he is always in a hurry and dares to jump in without caring whether there is a trap in front of him or not.

Milek is unlucky to be with her. Sooner or later, he will be killed by Tasha.

"It's okay. It doesn't cost much."

Ling Luxian looked at Milek's body, opened his artificial eye, and scanned his prosthetics. He found that Milek didn't have many prosthetics, and the few that were there were pirated goods.

Just get your injury treated here at Lao Wei's place, it won't cost much.

For customers like these who are short of money, Victor usually only charges a symbolic amount for the materials. If the money is still not enough, they can buy on credit from Victor.

Ling Luxian said that he would reimburse them 20%, and Victor could still make some money. If he really let these two poor bastards pay, Victor would probably have to pay for the materials.

Before long, Milek was back to normal. Milek was about to pay the full amount, but was stopped by Victor.

"Since you are an old acquaintance of the Pilot, there is no need to be so polite."

Victor could also see the predicament of these two people, so he didn't charge Milek more money.

"How have you been lately?" Ling Luxian asked Milek.

Milek bowed to Ling Luxian and said, "Thanks to you, I am living a much better life now."

"That's good."

Milek and Ling Luxian talked about recent events. Since becoming Regina's mercenaries, Milek and Tasha have been living much better.

Regina is well-known as a good person in the middleman circle, and giving commissions to mercenaries is worthy of her conscience.

Because Regina didn't make money as a middleman, because of her background, she mainly resold intelligence. Therefore, the commission she gave to her mercenaries was less than that of most middlemen.

Of course, there can’t be too many. They are mainly doing business, and if the commission is too small, it will be vicious competition and will be targeted by other middlemen.

Most middlemen take 70% to 80% of the profits, but Regina only takes 65%. The mercenaries only take 35%. Although it is not much, it is much better than most middlemen.

Even if the big black fat man came back and asked Vincent, the sucker, to do the task, he would still take 80% of the money. What fell into Vincent's hands was only 20% of the commission, which was the normal market price.

Tasha had originally urged Milek to kill Fritz and earn the bounty from the Animal Gang, but Milek didn't agree when he learned that Fritz's gang, Valentino, had a good relationship with Ling Luxian.

Fortunately, they didn't agree, otherwise they would have been badly tricked by Tasha. They later found out that Fritz had only dated a few girls from the Animal Gang, and they had no grudges at all. The bounty mentioned by Goose Down was just a joke.

Milek thanked Ling Luxian again before he came to this. After a few more pleasantries, Milek left as he had something to ask for.

"I didn't expect that you would be kind-hearted?" Victor said jokingly.

"What you said is so new, can you just be kind?" Ling Luxian didn't care and said to Victor: "Help me replace the tendon this time."

"This is truly unprecedented. What, have you figured it out?" Victor touched Ling Luxian's gastrocnemius and said with a hint of regret, "Look at you, your calf muscles are so well trained. It's such a pity to change them like this."

"Alas." Ling Luxian sighed, "There's nothing we can do, Lao Wei. More skills means more ways out."

"No regrets?" Victor confirmed again.

"No regrets. By the way, Lao Wei, please keep my leg for me."

Victor shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for you. If you ever want to change it back, I'll reconnect it for you."
