Demons Beside You

Chapter 36: Another Old Guy With Kidney Problems

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

When Chen Zhao reached the lounge, he saw Rasfa sitting there and chatting with another old white-haired man.

Chen Zhao wasn’t quite familiar with Hollywood stars, but this old man was a famous director. His name had spread to the other side of the world.

Rasfa’s cheeks were ruddy. He felt like he’d recovered his youthful vigor. Every one of his cells was alive.

“Chen, come here. Let me introduce you.”

Chen Zhao had already walked over. “Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Chen.”

“Hello.” The director respectfully shook Chen Zhao’s hands. Not everyone was racist.

“He’s my current health consultant, Chen. Steven, maybe you can have Chen check your body. I’m talking about that problem.”

“Uh...” Steven was a bit hesitant. This kind of problem was difficult to talk about. Even though the West was less conservative, this condition affected his dignity as a man. He didn’t dare to ask a doctor.

Actually, he’d tried some medication that private doctors had suggested, but none of them were effective. Only some people knew about this, such as Rasfa, one of his fellow patients.

When he came today, he saw Rasfa doing crazy things with his maid in his room. He could even hear the maid’s wild noise when standing outside. It sounded like an intense battle.

This made Steven wonder if Rasfa had been lying to him all this time.

We agreed to be fellow patients, but you’re playing with girls secretly? You said you can’t anymore, but you’re obviously super strong, alright?

What made Steven more jealous was the fact that Rasfa was a decade older than him, but he could still be so strong.

“Chen, do you know what my illness is?”

“It’s not hard. Judging from your age, your body has started failing in all aspects. You have obvious age spots too. This means that there’s something wrong with your kidney and detoxification system. You’re probably worried about your sex abilities, right?”

“Is it that obvious?”

“If it’s only what I see, then I can’t confirm it. I have to first check your body. It’s actually not such an embarrassing condition. You’re not young anymore and some things can’t be avoided. Of course, if I treat you, I’m confident in helping you recover your abilities.”

“Are you an expert in this?”

“No. In the medical field, professional knowledge in one area can’t be compared to an all-around doctor. The body is very strange and many physiological diseases result from secondary diseases. You have to treat it from the root, instead of treating wherever the problem is.”

“Okay, so how will you cure me?”

“I’ll use acupuncture to help you detoxify and reinvigorate your kidney. Then it’ll be able to give your lower body enough strength.”

“How long will it take?”

“Effects show quickly. You can ask Rasfa about this. However, your kidney has withered for too long. You’ll need prolonged treatment.”

“Steven, I was like you before noon today. But after lunch, I’m bursting with energy. You should take Chen’s suggestion. Trust me, it’s beneficial for you.”

“Then, now...” Steven was clearly tempted. He’d been dormant for too long.

“Steven, you’re Rasfa’s friend, but I still have to tell you that I’m an unlicensed doctor.”

“Of course. I understand.”

“Also, my price isn’t low.”

“Chen, I’ll pay for Steven. I won’t disappoint you.”

Rasfa was a businessman. He was obviously willing to get two important people’s favors with the lowest cost.

Both Chen Zhao and Steven were people he needed to rope in.

“How about we move somewhere else? I also need to get my medical kit.”

“Sure. Steven, come sit in my library.”

Chen Zhao brought his kit, Beelzebub, and Raymond to the library a while later. Steven was lying on the sofa with his shirt off already.

Because of his kidney, he looked a bit frail.

“Should I leave you two alone?”

“No need. Steven’s situation is better than you. It’s not that complicated. We might be able to get coffee together after 10 minutes. Of course, Steven might need to take care of some personal problems too.”

Ten minutes later, Chen Zhao had used acupuncture to stimulate Steven’s kidney. This helped him successfully expel the extra toxins in his body.

At the same time, Raymond used his abilities. When Steven got up from the sofa, his pants were already tented.

“Haha...Steven, it seems like you really need to take care of a personal problem. Should I go get two beauties?”

Rasfa had a supply of beauties in his house. There were even some nameless actresses who worked as maids for him to get an opportunity.

This was commonly seen in Hollywood too. Even some well-known actresses now had unspeakable pasts before they became famous. No celebrity who made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry was innocent.

Face red, Steven graciously accepted this suggestion.

Rasfa’s library was very big and also had a balcony facing the beach. He and Chen Zhao sat there, drinking coffee while waiting for Steven to finish.

“Chen, are you sure you don’t want some girls?”

“I don’t for now. Didn’t you say there will be many beauties at tonight’s party?”

“Yes, but it’ll depend on your own abilities then.”

“Of course.”

“Chen, are you interested in opening a clinic in Beverly Hills. With your abilities and my connections, I’m sure your business will prosper.”

“That’s not necessary. I’m quite satisfied with my current job. If I open a clinic, my schedule won’t be as free as now. Plus, I don’t like to get chased around by the IRS.”

The most important reason was actually because Chen Zhao didn’t have enough money now.

How much would it cost to open a clinic in Beverly Hills? You’d need at least one million dollars. If your clinic is too small, most residents of Beverly Hills wouldn’t even spare it a glance.

There were also large risks. If his income couldn’t balance out his expenses, he’d be at risk of huge losses. He couldn’t even think about making money then.

Most clinics would face these problems in the beginning, especially somewhere like Beverly Hills.

Most residents here had their own personal doctors. They wouldn’t trust a doctor in an unfamiliar clinic so easily. Even if Rasfa could recommend people, it wasn’t like he could force people to go to his clinic at gunpoint.
