Chapter 16 Tony Stark's Visit
Miller carefully examined Tony Stark in front of him, but couldn't see any signs of injury.
"Jarvis? Are you there? I promised to treat him after he was injured! He's perfectly fine now!"
Tony Stark was a little embarrassed. After learning from Jarvis that Miller had agreed to a free treatment in order to watch a live broadcast, he rushed to Miller's house. He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Miller's free treatment was contingent on being injured in the battle.
Even he would feel a pang of regret when faced with treatment costs that could easily reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
It all started with Little Chili's comment that she could name her price.
But Chili Pepper never expected Miller to be so bold as to offer a hundred million US dollars right off the bat, and most importantly, double the amount for working overtime at night!
It's worth noting that the top-tier American mansion Tony currently lives in cost less than 100 million US dollars to build, and the average cost of each mech is only a few million US dollars. The luxurious private hospital where Miller works also cost just over 100 million US dollars.
If it were just reckless driving, Tony Stark certainly wouldn't care; he'd just leave it untreated.
But this Grandet's medical skills were so good that even Tony Stark, with his pride, had to admit he admired him.
The two treatments were: one completely cured the bullet fragments that had caused his death, and he was able to move normally immediately; the other saved Obadiah, who was almost dead, and quickly restored his consciousness and physical health.
Tony Stark believed that no doctor could achieve Miller's treatment results.
However, the $400 million spent on these two treatments has essentially depleted a large portion of Tony Stark's working capital.
Why didn't Tony Stark seek treatment from Miller immediately after suffering palladium poisoning again from frequent use of his mech? It's because he felt Miller's price was too high and wanted to save up before seeking treatment. After all, saving a single treatment costs a hundred million dollars; even someone as wealthy as Tony would have to think twice.
This time, he actually offered to treat Tony Stark for free just to watch a fight. Tony Stark felt that he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he didn't seize this opportunity.
"Alright, I'll give you a full check-up. After all, as a shareholder of Stark Industries, your good health is also helping me make money." Miller said helplessly, looking at Stark, who was determined to get a free treatment.
Then he let Stark lie down on the bed in his newly renovated medical room for a while.
This was because Natasha came to Miller for treatment that time. Miller took Natasha to the hospital for treatment because his family couldn't afford it. After being criticized by the hospital staff, he finally decided to build the hospital.
It's not expensive, just tens of thousands of US dollars. The expensive part is the equipment, but Miller doesn't need those devices. However, to comfort (deceive) the patients, he still had someone make a few empty shells to make it look like a proper device.
In fact, Miller's income was more than enough to buy a fake one; the earnings from just one surgery would have been enough to purchase the entire set of equipment. But Miller, who was used to being frugal, chose an even cheaper method.
After giving Tony Stark an anesthetic injection, Miller used his Horse Charm powers to treat him before leaving the medical room to watch television.
However, the usually exciting TV dramas seemed rather dull compared to the intense battles we just witnessed.
When Tony Stark awoke again, he felt lighter than ever before. He pulled out a monitoring device and, seeing that the level of palladium in his body had completely dropped to zero, nodded. Although the price was a bit high, Dr. Grandet's treatment skills were still trustworthy.
Miller, who had detected Tony Stark's awakening, also came to the medical bay. Seeing Tony Stark's actions, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Stark, why are you still wearing that reactor on your chest? If you don't get rid of it, you'll probably have to come to me every now and then. Aren't you just giving me money?"
After all, in Miller's memory, whether it was the War Machine Tony gave to Rhodey or the armor he made for Pepper, the reactor was always mounted on the armor. Spider-Man's armor didn't even have this reactor on the chest.
Tony Stark actually built a nuclear reactor inside himself.
The reason Tony Stark kept the device was to maintain his life and prevent shrapnel from damaging his heart, but Miller was very curious about why he kept it even after Miller had removed the shrapnel from his chest.
Tony Stark tapped the reactor on his chest and said, "Because it constantly reminds me how I found this."
Seeing Tony Stark's serious expression, he interrupted, "Didn't you pay me two hundred million dollars to save you? Also, you should remove this thing as soon as possible; it can easily affect your fertility."
Tony Stark's lips twitched. He didn't want to continue communicating with this miserly doctor, so he put on his armor and left Miller's house.
Stark, flying through the air, touched the reactor on his chest; clearly, he had taken Miller's words to heart.
After Tony Stark left, Miller tidied up the room briefly and lay down on his bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, he recalled the scenes he had witnessed that day. When he opened his eyes, he found that his heart was still pounding and his hands were trembling.
"Damn, what's wrong with me? Post-traumatic stress disorder? I wasn't even on the battlefield! I was just a spectator." After careful consideration, Miller realized that he might really have been stimulated by the battle just now.
So, was my past life in Africa, that war-torn region, influenced by my subconscious? Did I crave the thrill of war? And then a stray bullet transported me to this chaotic and war-torn world?
Miller calmed down after thinking about how a single bullet could have easily taken away his life in his previous life.
After all, Miller didn't want to experience death again. He knew perfectly well that with his current physical condition, a single bullet could easily take his life, and the Horse Talisman couldn't bring him back to life.
Thinking about this, Miller suddenly decided to treat Tony Stark better from now on. After all, while Tony was a good person, he was also a good person who could easily kill a weakling like himself.
It's time to find a way to increase my strength.
After his consciousness entered the system space and he saw his reputation value of 3022, Miller felt a headache again. If he continued to collect reputation value at this rate, he didn't know when he would be able to collect 10,000 reputation value and unlock the next talisman.
Realizing that a single bullet could kill him, Miller had no desire to associate with any "superheroes" or "supervillains" who could easily take his life.
Aside from Captain America and Spider-Man, those two are genuinely great people and very approachable.
But here's the question: Is Captain America still frozen? When did Peter Parker in the cinematic universe get bitten by the spider? Would Peter Parker, who wasn't bitten by the spider, still be considered a superhero?
