Dexter thought about it for a moment. He was open to the idea now that he knew it would not kill him. However, he still had some reservations.
"Why don't you and your wife give your liver to her? Didn't you say that you love her?" he asked.
"Neither of us is a match. An immediate family member has the highest pairing success rate, so we came to talk to you," Jack said.
"I'll think about it." Dexter was still a little scared. He was worried that they were lying to him.
If he gave Leia his liver and died from it, it would not matter how much money he had.
Luke noticed his hesitation and said coldly, "Leia is not doing well. If you need more time to think about it, we might not need you later."
Dexter was shocked. Leia's life or death had nothing to do with him.
However, if he hesitated and Leia died, he would not get any money.
Dexter gritted his teeth, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay. However, I want to sign an agreement with you. If the transplant fails, you’ll still pay me. If the matching fails, you’ll also still pay me 10 percent of the money as compensation for my time."
"No problem," Jack agreed.
"Also, I want this number." Dexter stretched out five fingers. "Seven digits."
‘Five million?’
He had no shame.
Luke's gaze was cold. He did not agree to his terms. "What you’re asking for is five times the black market price. It seems like a better option for me to buy from the black market. At least I would have a guarantee of the success of matching."
He just wanted to frighten the man in front of him and prevent him from demanding an exorbitant price.
After all, they would never buy organs from the black market.
Dexter was stunned after hearing what he said. He frowned and replied, "Isn't the best chance with immediate family members?"
"It’s possible as long as the blood type is the same. You used to drink alcohol all the time and that has had a great impact on your liver. Maybe we’ll find something wrong with your liver during the examination and the transplant can’t happen. Even then, we’ll be at a loss since we still have to pay you 10 percent of the money." Luke used his business skills to start bargaining with him.
The risks he mentioned may indeed exist.
Dexter was an alcoholic. His liver may have been damaged by it.
"In that case, I want this amount. Seven figures." He frowned and raised a finger. He asked them for a million.
"200,000 dollars. If the transplant happens, we’ll add 50,000 dollars for the aftercare. If the matching is unsuccessful or your liver has problems and the transplant can’t happen, we’ll give you five percent of the sum as compensation. Otherwise, that’s the end of this conversation," Luke said.
Ordinary people could get 200,000 dollars from a year of working. They were being generous with their offer.
Dexter calculated in his heart. If the transplant succeeded, he would get 250,000 dollars.
250,000 dollars was enough for him to last for a long time. He could even use this to build a good relationship with Leia. Maybe she might even take care of him in the future. He was happy with the offer.
He clapped his hands, nodded, and said, "Deal. I want a ten percent deposit. I don’t want a check, I want cash."
"No problem. Someone will pick you up for a check-up at the hospital tomorrow. After signing the agreement, ten percent of the money will be given to you." Luke agreed on Jack’s behalf.
The amount was close to what they agreed on.
"Love the efficiency, tsk tsk. If Leia had gotten together with you, that amount would be much more. Tsk, what a dumb girl." Dexter knew a little about Leia. After all, she was his biological daughter.
He was always on the lookout to see if there was a way for him to make money from her. As such, he knew all the stupid things Leia had done in an attempt to get together with Luke.
