Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 890: Chapter 1107: Blood Muscle Berry

At this moment, Haley's father, Robert, was in an unconscious state, so he was unaware of the conversation taking place in the hospital room.

Ryan looked at the hesitant mother and daughter, thought for a moment, and said, "The patient's body isn't ready for surgery immediately. It'll need a few days of conditioning—three or four days. During this time, you can carefully consider it."

"You can also ask people around you for advice."

Robert was staying in a special care ward, which typically required certain connections to secure in the hospital. Moreover, both Haley and Sarah didn't look like ordinary people, given their temperament and appearance.

That was why Ryan suggested they consult people around them, and also let those people share their knowledge about his expertise.

After all, no matter how skilled he was, if he or someone close to him boasted about it, they might not fully trust him.

But if the same words came from their own relatives or friends, their level of trust in him would undoubtedly be higher than if he said it himself.

That was just human nature.

"Okay, thank you, Doctor."

Sarah nodded. This was indeed what she had been thinking.

She planned to ask some friends in the hospital to find out more about Robert's condition and whether this Doctor was truly that outstanding.

"Is this the place the nurse mentioned earlier?"

"Meta~"

Just as Ryan was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared at the door.

It was a tall, handsome young man with exceptional bearing, accompanied by a silver Metagross.

Ryan and the young nurse beside him were instantly stunned, finding it hard to believe. The first to react wasn't Ryan but the nurse.

The nurse exclaimed in surprise, "Champion Walker!"

"Brother Julian!"

But before she could finish, a figure darted past her, and in the next second, that figure had thrown itself into Julian's arms.

The nurse's eyes nearly popped out at the sight.

Although it was rumored that Champion Walker's girlfriend was the granddaughter of Champion Duke, this woman was clearly not her. Could it be that the rumors were wrong?

Or was Champion Walker, like most men, someone who played around and was a scumbag?

Scumbags deserve to die—but—

Looking at Julian's handsome face, upright posture, and the aura he exuded that captivated all women—

It was the aura of immense wealth and talent, the presence of the world's strongest, the presence of someone who commanded both Zekrom and Reshiram, two First-class Legendaries.

For a man like that, forget standing on two boats—even ten boats could be forgiven, even considered only natural.

"Brother Julian, the doctor said Dad's in a dangerous state right now. If he has surgery, there's only a fifty percent chance of success. If he doesn't, he could die at any moment... wuwuwu... what should I do?"

Haley clung tightly to Julian.

Now nineteen years old, her physical development was far beyond what it was at sixteen. Being directly "charged" by her like this caught Julian a bit off guard.

Gently patting her on the back, Julian looked toward the doctor across from him. From the name badge, he learned the doctor's name was Ryan, and that he was the attending physician.

It was rare to see such a young attending physician.

"Doctor Ryan, is the situation really that dire?"

Hearing Julian's words, Ryan snapped back to reality and quickly replied, "Surgery is the best option, but the success rate is only fifty percent right now."

"Right now?"

Julian picked up on the implication in his words.

Ryan explained, "For treating Mr. Robert's mitral valve stenosis, there's actually a treasure that can increase the chances by thirty percent. But this treasure has already been used from our hospital's inventory."

"What treasure?" Julian asked.

"Blood Muscle Berry, it's a mutated berry. After consumption, it can provide certain protective effects for the heart and accelerate the healing speed of cardiac injuries."

As Ryan spoke, he was about to mention where such berries could still be found. After all, for someone of Champion Walker's status, obtaining these berries—which were extremely scarce in their hospital and all others—would be as simple as a single word.

But before he could even finish, he saw Julian gently move the still clinging Haley aside, reach into his pocket, and pull out two small red berries.

"Is this it?" Julian asked.

Ryan froze. Do you just carry Blood Muscle Berries around with you? Pulling them out of your pocket like that, and two of them at that?

"Yes, yes!"

Faced with Julian's question, Ryan quickly nodded.

These were indeed Blood Muscle Berries—the color, size, and the golden specks on the skin all confirmed it. And they were of the highest quality.

"Are two enough?"

The way he asked made it sound like he had more.

Ryan was about to say two were sufficient when Julian reached into his other pocket and pulled out two more identical Blood Muscle Berries.

Seeing Ryan remain silent, Julian naturally assumed it wasn't enough. So he bought two more from the System Shop—fifty thousand points each, which was a bit steep.

"Here."

He directly handed the four Blood Muscle Berries to Ryan.

In the outside world, each of these berries would cost at least five million, and they were scarce to boot. Now, Ryan was holding at least twenty million worth in his hands.

"Is this enough?"

Seeing that Ryan still wasn't speaking, Julian thought it still wasn't sufficient.

"Enough, enough! Actually, two would have been plenty," Ryan quickly said.

With one berry, he was confident he could raise the surgery's success rate to seventy percent. With two, it would be ninety percent, which, for all intents and purposes, was essentially one hundred percent to him.

And if any crisis did arise during the procedure, he still had two more in his hands now.

Watching Ryan leave with the berries, the young nurse beside him quickly asked for an autograph, and Julian naturally agreed.

Afterward, the nurse also left.

The only people left in the ward were Haley's family and Julian.

"Is uncle unconscious?"

Julian noticed that despite all the talking they'd done since entering, Robert was still "sleeping"—clearly unconscious.

"Yeah, we just had Chansey hypnotize him so he could get some proper sleep and rest."

Sarah nodded, then said gratefully, "Julian, thank you so much for this."

"Auntie, you're being too polite. You should have told me about something like this sooner."

Julian shook his head. Sarah and his mother were close friends—they were practically best friends.

"Exactly, exactly! Mom, I told you earlier that if we told Brother Julian about this, he would definitely be able to help us," Haley said, clinging to Julian's arm.

The soft, bouncy sensation made Julian's heart stir slightly.

He wondered what this girl had been eating over the past three years—how had she developed so much?

"Mm."

Sarah nodded.

Of course, she knew Julian could help them. But Julian's current status made her somewhat intimidated.

Even though she and Tina were best friends, and if she had asked her for help, Tina would certainly have asked Julian to step in.

But if such requests became frequent, the friendship between her and Tina would inevitably change in nature.
