American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

If it's a matter of losing money, even if Roy asks for an exorbitant amount, Mrs. Gao and the others won't take it too seriously.

Money can be earned back, but you only have one life.

They are all very good at making money.

Even if they pay a huge sum in compensation, they can still earn it back.

But the compensation for the keel is completely different.

The dragon bone is the key to their longevity and immortality.

In order to obtain the dragon bone, they did not hesitate to defect from Kunlun, secretly steal the dragon bone and escape.

Relying on the dragon bones they stole back then, they gained a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people, living from hundreds of years ago to the present day.

For them, the keel is equivalent to lifespan.

If it were a few hundred years ago, during the period when they had just escaped Kunlun, they might have considered Murakami's suggestion.

After all, they still had quite a few dragon bones at that time.

However, they don't have many dragon bones left now.

Based on their usual consumption, the dragon bones they possess can only be used for another twenty or thirty years at most.

Once used up, they age rapidly and quickly reach the end of their lives.

Seeing that Madam Gao and the other three had solemn expressions and remained silent, Murakami continued, "If I had any other choice, I wouldn't want to hand over the dragon bones to anyone else, let alone under the guise of compensation."

"But apart from the keel, we have nothing else that would interest Roy."

"We have now confirmed that the remains of an entire dragon are buried beneath New York City, and only by staying in New York City will we have a chance to find it."

"Otherwise, even if we evacuate North America and move to Asia or Europe, we will only live for another twenty or thirty years."

"I've said everything I needed to say. If you have any better suggestions, please feel free to share them now."

"If not, then let's vote by raising hands; the minority shall obey the majority."

Murakami glanced at Madam Gao and her three companions.

The four women, including Madam Gao, remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Seeing this, Murakami calmly raised his right hand.

When he raised his hand, Alexandra and Bot exchanged a glance, tacitly conveying their thoughts.

Their relationship was best before they defected to Kunlun.

Before their defection to Kunlun, apart from Madam Gao, who was an elderly woman, all four of Alexandra and her companions were middle-aged.

Not only that, Alexandra and Bot are both white, and their genders are also exactly one male and one female.

Same skin color, complementary gender, similar age.

Although they didn't become a couple or husband and wife, their relationship was much better than the other three.

After exchanging a silent glance, Alexandra and Bottom raised their right hands, agreeing to compensate Roy with the dragon bones.

Mrs. Gao sighed and raised her right hand as well.

Sowanga didn't raise his hand. Instead, he slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "I won't compensate anyone for the dragon bones. If you want to compensate, you'll have to raise the money yourselves!"

After saying that, he left the conference room without any hesitation, his face full of anger.

The four Murakami members did not stop him, and calmly watched him leave.

Sowanga was the most irritable and impulsive among them, and they were already used to it.

If Kunlun hadn't never given up searching for them and still needed Sowanga's strength, they would have wanted to get rid of Sowanga long ago.

After Sowanga left the meeting room, Murakami continued, "Since Sowanga is unwilling to hand over the dragon bone he has, then deduct it from his future share."

"I propose that each of us contribute five years' worth of dragon bones to make up for 20 years of compensation to Roy, to make up for the loss of his girlfriend's father who was slashed."

Madam Gao and the other two did not object and nodded.

Although they didn't have many dragon bones left, they could still produce dragon bones that were 5 years old.

After deciding on the specific amount of compensation, the four villagers briefly discussed the selection of the recipients.

As expected, Murakami, who offered to compensate for the keel, became the person who contacted Roy.

……

hospital.

The corridor outside the operating room.

After two or three hours of emergency treatment, the indicator light at the operating room door finally changed from red, representing "operation in progress," to green, indicating "operation completed."

As soon as the indicator light turned green, Gwen and Helen, who were sitting on the waiting chairs, stood up and went to the door of the operating room.

Shortly after, the operating room doors opened, and the surgeon emerged, asking Gwen and her companion, "Are you the patient's family members?"

"Yes, the patient is my father, and this is my mother."

Gwen replied quickly.

"The surgery went smoothly, and the patient is out of danger."

"However, the patient's hands and right leg were severely slashed, and some nerves were damaged, which will affect his mobility to some extent."

"As for the extent of the impact, we will have to wait until the patient regains their mobility to determine it."

The surgeon brought both good and bad news.

The good news is that George will not die in the line of duty.

The bad news is that George will suffer from long-term effects.

Gwen gently patted Helen on the shoulder and then thanked the surgeon.

The surgeon didn't say anything more and walked towards his office.

A few minutes later, George, who was still unconscious, was wheeled to a VIP ward by a nurse.

The VIP room was expensive, but that wasn't a problem for Roy at all.

Although he is not as rich as Tony, he is still a bona fide billionaire.

After George was wheeled back to the VIP ward, Gwen said to Helen, "Philip and the others will be out of school soon. Go home and prepare some daily necessities for Dad, then bring them to the hospital."

"Okay, then I'll leave this place to you. Call me immediately if anything happens."

Helen replied quickly.

After Helen left, Gwen turned to Roy and asked, "Do you have a way to make Dad completely better, without any lasting effects?"

"have."

Roy nodded.

After saying that, he went to the bedside, raised his hands, and aimed them at George.

Palm Immortal Technique!

Without any hesitation, he immediately used the Palm Healing Technique, releasing green chakra with healing effects from his hands.

Under his control, the healing chakra precisely reached the location of George's injury and began to repair George's damaged nerves.

For modern medicine, nerve damage is not easy to repair.

But for the Palm Immortal Technique, this is not a difficult task.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Rin, who transplanted Obito's Sharingan to Kakashi.

Lacking sufficient medical tools and in the wild, 11-year-old Lin single-handedly completed the Sharingan transplant using the Palm Healing Technique.

Although Roy is not a professional medical ninja, after obtaining the Palm Healing Technique from Tsunade, his medical abilities are stronger than most medical ninjas.

If there was anything to say, it was that he hadn't expected that the first person he would treat with his palm magic would be George.

Gwen had no idea what the Palmistry technique was.

However, she had complete faith in Roy.

In less than fifteen minutes, Roy completed the treatment and stopped casting the Palm Healing Technique.

While repairing George's injured nerves, he also repaired George's external injuries, accelerating the healing process.
