Masked Rider from Marvel World

"Is there any way you can heal my hands? If you can, I'm willing to pay any price." Strange said this with some worry, but there was also a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Oh my god, are you so decisive? You're willing to pay any price right from the start.

I can see that you came to me because you are desperate." Ling Ge said with a smile.

"That's right." Strange admitted it directly. Ever since his hands were disabled, his former doctor friends were unwilling to lend him a helping hand for the sake of their own reputations. He had experienced the fickleness of human nature.

"It seems that you are still so conceited. I hope you can change this bad habit in the future. I really don't like it."

"Do you have any way to make me recover?" Strange looked directly at Ling Ge and asked again.

"Is this your attitude when asking for help?" Ling Ge laughed. He didn't understand why Strange still had the confidence to be so arrogant.

"You have a solution? You can make me well, right?"

"Of course, but could you not be so excited?

If you had the surgery on your hands yourself, they wouldn't be completely healed, but the results would be much better than they are now. It's a pity that you don't have that opportunity.

But my medical skills are much better than yours. Even if your hand is broken, I can restore it to its previous level.

But why should I help you? ".

303. What do you want? The future of Kamar-Taj is worrying

"What do you want?" Strange asked after calming down.

“Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, Doctor Strange, I really admire you. What do you think you can give now to let me treat your hands?

Apart from anything else, you are also a skilled doctor, you should know how much this kind of surgery costs!"

Strange fell silent after hearing this. Ever since his hands were destroyed in a car accident, he had fallen into despair. In order to heal his hands and allow them to move normally, he did almost everything he could, including asking people to perform several operations and even doing experiments, but his hands did not get any better.

Instead, he spent all his savings on these "efforts" and is now heavily in debt. It is difficult for him to make a living, let alone pay for the high cost of surgery.

“How much money do you need? I can pay you back as soon as my hands recover.

You also know that I am a talented doctor. As long as I can return to my job, money is not a problem at all." Strange said excitedly.

“I know this, but some things cannot be solved with money.

I'm not sure if there is any other way in the world to restore your hands, but I'm probably the only one who can do it through normal means.

So the current price is completely set by me, and you have no right to bargain, right?" Ling Ge said with a smile, the feeling of waiting for the price to rise is really wonderful.

"So, what do you want?" Strange excitedly slammed the table and yelled, but he immediately realized that he was too excited. Now Ling Ge was his last hope. If he really pissed him off, he would be doomed.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Strange said weakly, and there was even a hint of crying in his tone. It can be seen that this adult man is indeed wronged.

"It's okay, I understand, I'm not such a petty person.

Besides, my table is pretty solid, and you didn't break it, so don't worry." Ling Ge explained with a smile. He was not surprised by Strange's actions.

He is now the ray of light that Strange encountered in the darkness, something he desperately desires, but it has been reluctant to shine on him, so it would be strange if he was not anxious.

"As for what I want? Actually, you don't have anything to give me right now.

As for money, although our family has experienced a huge change and our assets have shrunk significantly, we are not short of it at the moment.

Status, if I wanted that kind of thing, I would have been given a series of titles long ago.

Reputation, don’t joke about it…”

Strange suddenly became excited and said excitedly: "Reputation is not a problem. As long as you can cure my hands that almost all doctors are helpless to cure, I will personally hold an academic seminar in the medical community. Your reputation will be unprecedentedly improved and even widely spread in the medical community."

Looking at Strange's dancing and excitement, Ling Ge couldn't help but think: Is this guy trying to get something for nothing and wants me to work for nothing?

"Ahem! You seem to have misunderstood what I meant. Reputation is worthless to me and it can't be used to make a living.

Also, do you think it is appropriate for me, a good detective, to quit my job and become a doctor? "

"Inappropriate, isn't it?" Strange asked weakly. He really couldn't imagine why someone with such extraordinary medical skills didn't become a doctor, but instead changed his career to become a detective.

"Of course it's not suitable. Being a doctor is so tiring!

Especially for a doctor with a long reputation, attending academic conferences would probably make him exhausted. "Ling Ge explained, and Strange was powerless to refute.

He is a renowned doctor and naturally knows that this position is prestigious but also involves a lot of trivial matters, not to mention that his hands were injured in an accident while he was attending a similar meeting.

"Can you just speak frankly? What exactly do you want? What do you want to get from a useless person like me?" Strange said helplessly. He realized that Ling Ge was just ruining his appetite.

"Well..., to sum up, you really can't meet my requirements now." Ling Ge said thoughtfully.

"Then why are you talking so much?"

"Hey! Calm down, calm down, I didn't say I won't treat your hand.

Although you can’t give me anything now, the future is certain.”

"The future?" Strange was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Those kinds of fantasy are the most unreliable."

"That may not be the case. I can heal your hands, but I need you to do one thing.

Secondly, I need a favor from you, a favor owed by your future identity, what do you think? " Ling Ge said this very calmly, but he was a little nervous. He still owed Kamar-Taj two favors. If he could earn one from this future Supreme Sorcerer, it would definitely be a lot easier in the future.

"Is it that simple?" Strange was a little confused. He couldn't believe that in this day and age there are still people who bet on other people's future.

"It's that simple." Ling Ge said affirmatively.

"Okay, I agree."

“Um, ah!

If you agree now, don't you need to ask me what I want you to do? What if it's dangerous?"

Strange smiled bitterly, silently raised his trembling hands, and said in a deep voice: "They are what I am most proud of in my life. Over the years, I have relied on them to easily obtain things that you despise, such as money, status, and reputation.

At that time, I felt that my life was almost complete. As long as I could marry a beautiful wife who loved me, I would have no regrets.

But when something went wrong with them, I realized that everything came so easily, but was also destroyed so easily. Overnight, I experienced the despair of going from heaven to hell.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but at that time I even had thoughts of suicide.

So, I have nothing to lose now, and I don't think you would let me do something so dangerous."

"That's true, but what I ask you to do is not easy. I don't know if you can succeed!" Ling Ge said.

“I’ll do my best, but before that, I need you to pay a portion of the deposit.

For example, prove to me that you have the ability to heal my hand first." Strange stared at Ling Ge and said.

“Okay, but not today, I don’t have such good medical equipment.

So, tomorrow! I have to ask someone to make arrangements first." Ling Ge was not disgusted by Strange's attitude of not giving up until he saw the rabbit. He even admired it a little. If he really agreed without saying anything, Ling Ge would doubt whether he had chosen the wrong person.

"Okay! I can wait.

But before that, can I stay at your house for a day? I can just sleep on the sofa." Strange said awkwardly. It cost too much money to treat his hands. He wanted to spend every penny carefully. How could he have extra money to stay in a hotel?

"Sure, one hundred dollars a day."

"Why is it so expensive?" Strange asked, "All I want is a place to sleep. Fifty dollars should be enough!"

"Haha! You can stay here if you want.

Don't forget what you did when you came in just now. If I didn't feel sorry for you, do you think I would let you live in my house?"

Strange felt embarrassed when he heard that, but he didn't plan to sleep on the sofa here. The hundred dollars was enough for him to stay in the hotel for a day, so he stood up and was about to leave.

"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you. The nearest hotel is eighty dollars a night, and the round-trip fare is ten dollars. Of course, it's a different story if you walk there."

Strange hesitated for a moment, but still walked out resolutely.

Let's just walk there! It's only a few miles instead of taking the car. Compared with 80 dollars, it can save 20 dollars! It's not a small amount for him now.

"By the way, that hotel doesn't provide meals. If you want to eat, you need to pay separately."

Strange paused for a moment, then chose to leave, but at a much slower pace.

Isn't it just a meal? Just buy two loaves of bread and make do with it.

Strange felt a little humiliated. Not long ago, he didn't care about these small amounts of money. He hadn't taken a taxi in more than ten years. He didn't expect that he would have to go to such lengths for twenty dollars today.

"We provide meals and we also make sure you are full."

This time Strange gave in, turned around, and strode up to Ling Ge, "Here's a hundred dollars, I'll stay at your house!"

"Tsk, didn't you act very stubborn just now? You don't want the twenty dollars?" Ling Ge asked with a smile, his tone full of ridicule.

"No, I'll just stay at your house. It's convenient."

His attitude changed so quickly that Ling Ge was surprised. "You'd better explain it clearly! Otherwise, I won't be at ease."

“It’s hard to explain! I’ve been hungry for two meals.

So, when are we going to eat?"

Hearing Strange say this, Ling Ge suddenly felt a little regretful. This is really a former successful person, how could he be so thick-skinned?

"Just wait! You'll have dinner in a few hours.

Oh, there is one more thing. I hope you will pay attention to what happens in my house." Ling Ge said seriously.

"You said."

"Always knock on the door before entering."

Strange: "...Got it."

It was not until the evening that Ling Ge really regretted his decision. Looking at the three empty bowls left by Strange on the dining table, he seriously suspected that Strange had deceived him. This was not just two meals he had not eaten, it was clearly two days he had not eaten!

"Brother, that's enough, that's enough!" Ling Ge advised with a wry smile.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, it tastes pretty good, please give me another bowl.

I must eat my money back, don't look at me like that, it was you who said that I would be fed and full." Strange said while eating, Ling Ge almost didn't hear clearly.

"Where's your self-restraint?"

"Self-restraint? I'm almost starving to death, who cares what self-restraint is?"

Ling Ge was speechless. This answer was very realistic, but it would not be good if it applied to him.

Wanda, who was standing by, was also somewhat amused when she heard this answer. Is this the successor that Ling Ge had mentioned for Ancient One? If this is true, then the future of Kamar-Taj is worrying! .

304. Going to the Avengers for treatment, agents' attention

The next morning, Strange sat quietly on the sofa. Although he was still a little lethargic, his mental state was much better than yesterday.

Maybe it was because he saw hope! But before he was sure whether this hope was real, he didn't dare to relax.

After a while, Ling Ge slowly walked down the stairs and stretched himself. "It seems like you are in a hurry. Is it necessary? I won't lie to you."

"You wouldn't understand. You saw me eating yesterday. I couldn't even hold the bowl steady."

"Really? But I only saw how enthusiastically you ate last night. You ate five bowls by yourself. It scared me.

As for whether your hands were shaking, I didn't really look closely." Ling Ge said with a smile.

Strange suddenly felt his face getting a little hot. He was really hungry yesterday. When he woke up, he realized how ridiculous he was.

"I'm not usually like this," Strange said.

"I know and I believe it, you don't need to explain it.

But your reserve was completely shattered when you said 'another bowl' last night."

Strange lowered his head in embarrassment and asked in a low voice: "When do we leave?"

"Quickly, let's go get the car first." Ling Ge said as he took Strange to his garage.

"Is this your car? Why are there so many motorcycles? We're not going to ride on these, are we?" Strange felt unwell when he saw these two-wheeled motorcycles.

"What? Do you look down on motorcycles?

It just so happens that I don’t want to take you with me. If I were alone, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.”

"No, I don't mean that." Strange immediately shook his head, "I'm just curious, don't you have a four-wheeled car?

It shouldn't be difficult to buy a car with your assets, right?"

"Is it not that difficult? But it is not necessary.

There are only three people in our family, and all of us have lost both parents. We don’t travel far very often, so there is no difference between having a car and not having one.
