Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3850 Opportunity for Two

"Of course, this is just my momentary optimism." Rum said with a hint of self-mockery, and continued to drink tea after he finished speaking.

Chi Feichi also lowered his head and drank a sip of tea. After Rum swallowed the tea, he spoke again, "It's not impossible to cure your eye."

Although Chi Feichi did not say with certainty that "it can be cured", the mere fact that "there is a possibility of cure" was enough to frighten Rum.

"You mean..." Rum realized that Chi Feichi must know some treatment method to say that. With the examples of Xia Zuo and Cecilia, he didn't think Chi Feichi was talking nonsense. But when he thought about the condition of his eyes, he couldn't help but feel doubtful. "Are you kidding me? I have had a prosthetic eye for more than ten years. With the treatment methods I know so far, there is no possibility of curing this eye."

"I'm not kidding you. That's a completely different treatment from conventional treatments, but..." Chi Feichi gave Rum an affirmative answer, and then deliberately pretended to be considering and weighing the options. After a pause, he looked at Rum and said, "I'll be frank. That treatment is not as simple as transplanting an eyeball. It's about directly cultivating an eyeball. If nothing goes wrong, the new eyeball will be no different from your original eyeball, so it won't cause any rejection reaction from the body. The eye nerves can also grow back. In summary, the method I'm talking about is more like regeneration than treatment..."

"Rebirth..."

Rum murmured, with desire in his right eye, making his good eye shine brightly and a little creepy.

If it was regeneration, Xia Zuo and Cecilia didn't look like they were injured at all, which seemed to explain it.

If his left eye could regenerate, it would definitely be a more perfect result than a transplant... so perfect that he couldn't help but tremble at the thought of it!

"Although I can't guarantee 100% success, in my opinion, the success rate should not be less than 70%," Chi Feichi continued calmly, "It's just that... the key things that can promote regeneration are not in stock, and I haven't found a way to replenish them yet. I use a little bit less..."

This is the truth.

The altar energy they found last time was not much. If he used up the altar energy stored in his body and they couldn't find another altar for the time being, then there would be no energy to replenish.

Rum heard the hidden meaning in Chi Feichi's words, and the heat in his heart subsided a little. His brain quickly calmed down and he waited for Chi Feichi to continue.

Chi Feichi did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, "I will not use such a precious thing for charity. I believe you can understand. Also, I heard from my grandfather that the left eye you lost can remember everything you have seen at a glance. This is an ability that can become very scary if used properly. Therefore, I will not help you with treatment until I am sure that you will not stand against me."

"You are really... straightforward." Seeing that Chi Feichi did not directly say 'I won't help you', Rum knew that there was room for negotiation. When he heard Chi Feichi acknowledge the ability of his left eye, he couldn't help but laugh, but soon restrained the smile on his lips and looked serious. "I was born and raised in the Karasuma family, and voluntarily dedicated my life to the Karasuma family. In the past few decades, I have served that person wholeheartedly, from my childhood to my seventies, and I have never changed..."

Chi Feichi held the teacup in his right hand, lowered his eyes to look at the colorful bamboo shadows projected on the coffee table, and waited quietly for Rum to continue.

If Rum were a young man in his teens or twenties, he would never have said it so realistically and bluntly.

But Rum is older than his father. During his years in the organization, he must have seen all kinds of people and things. If he speaks more directly and realistically, Rum will not think that he is too realistic and unsympathetic. Instead, it will show his sincerity in wanting to solve problems and seek win-win results.

By the same token, if Rum only intends to talk about friendship and the relationship between the two sides, and avoids talking about the real core issues, then he would be showing a lack of sincerity in communication.

Based on his understanding of Rum, Rum would not fail to understand this, so if Rum really fooled him, it would almost be a statement of "I don't intend to stand on your side"...

Rum has a lot of information inside and outside the organization and has great power in the organization. He really hopes to use the opportunity of "eye regeneration" today to reach some consensus with Rum, but if Rum is unwilling to choose a decent path for everyone, then he can only find a way to help Rum "decent".

This exchange was an opportunity, both for him and for Rum.

He cherishes this opportunity and hopes that Rum can be like him.

"You are a descendant of the Karasuma family, the continuation of that person's bloodline, and someone I don't want to be an enemy of. Naturally, I will not stand against you. This is the position I want to make clear," Rum paused, "As for how I can prove this and how I can convince you that I am trustworthy, I want to hear your thoughts."

Chi Feichi knew that Rum was asking him to set conditions, so he directly stated his conditions, "I hope you can help me understand the situation of the organization and the Karasuma family, the whole situation."

"The whole situation?" Rum was once again surprised by Chi Feichi's words.

In the entire Karasuma family, there is only one person who has the right to control the entire situation of the organization and the Karasuma family, and that is Karasuma Hideya, the current head of the family.

If he told Master Feichi all about the situation of the Wuhuan family without that person's permission, both he and Master Feichi would have crossed the line.

If that person knew about this, he or she might think that they were secretly colluding with each other and had bad intentions, and feel betrayed...

This is no small matter.

"I won't make it difficult for you," Chi Feichi saw Rum's concerns and said, "If you are willing to accept my proposal, you can tell my grandfather what we just discussed. After getting his consent, you can tell me about the organization and the Karasuma family."

While thinking about Chi Feichi's intentions, Rum responded, "Since you said so, I will ask him what he thinks after his lunch break. As long as he agrees, I will be happy to tell you the situation of the organization and Karasuma Hideie. Of course, the whole situation."

"If my grandfather doesn't agree..." Chi Feichi looked up at Rum and made a promise calmly, "As long as you can take good care of my grandfather, I will also help you treat your eyes."
