Chapter 1905 Confident
“I merely bought my men over to join in the fun!” Verner said with a faint smile.
“Verner, you just said that Jose isn't blowing his own trumpet. Could it be that the Danahers are trulyturning their noses up on a ten-thousand-year herb?” Jared inquired. novelbin
Verner nodded. “That's right. As far as I know, their family is the least lacking in resources. Theysupposedly own a plot of rootless land capable of producing many rare medicinal herbs, so they havethe most resources!”
“What exactly is a rootless land?” asked Jared.
Instead of clearing his confusion, Verner smiled awkwardly. “I don't know either. I merely heard aboutit!”
When Jared saw that Verner was also clueless, he did not press on but asked him instead, “Verner,how did you know about the emergence of this ten-thousand-year herb? Did you bring your men hereto get your hands on it?”
At his question, Verner smiled. “I don't mean to brag, Mr. Chance, but a single plant of a ten-thousand-year herb isn't worth the trouble of me traveling a long distance with a group of people in tow. Weactually have some other matters to attend to. It's just that we heard about this matter as we werepassing by here, so we decided to take a look while we were at it.”
“Other matters? What exactly are they?” Jared asked curiously.
“Uh...”
Verner looked troubled.
As soon as Jared noticed it, he uttered, “You need not say it if it puts you on the spot, Verner. As longas you're not here to compete for the ten-thousand-year herb, then it's fine. Otherwise, I would've trulybeen at a loss!”
“Don't worry, Mr. Chance. Since you desire the herb, I won't try to get it. I can help you if you require myassistance,” Verner offered.
“I appreciate your kindness, Verner. I don't need it for now, but I'll let you know if I do!”
For the time being, Jared did not want Verner's assistance. Even though Wayne, the head of TheAdamantine, told him that as long as he needed anything, the Gingerich family would provide it whenhe went to the Gunderson family estate, he still had no plans to let Verner help him just yet.
“If you need anything, Mr. Chance, just call! I'm going over to say hello...”
With that, Verner walked over and greeted Marcelo and Jose.
There were many prestigious families and expert martial artists present at that moment. Everyone grewnervous at the sudden appearance of several prominent families that had recently made themselvesknown in the martial arts world, not to mention they were each accompanied by numerous experts.
Some decided to back out and slipped away quietly. Although the wonder herb was tempting, theprecondition was that they had to be alive to enjoy it.
What good is it to desire that ten-thousand-year herb if we die as a consequence of obtaining it?
Time went by. The moon hung high in the sky, shining its moonlight on the forest and making it seemeven more sacred.
Austin arrived with the most elite members of the Zagorski family. Whether it was a Greater Martial ArtsMarquis or Martial Arts Marquis, they all came pouring in.
However, when Austin arrived with his men, he panicked at the sight of the members of variousprestigious families before him.
Thank goodness I withdrew my men in advance and chose to cooperate with Jared. If I'd forciblysealed off this place just because it's my territory and obtained the ten-thousand-year herb alone, Ireckon the elites of my family would've become corpses by now. If that happens, the Zagorski familywill become the common enemy of these people before me. My family isn't strong enough to repelattacks from so many prestigious families!
“Mr. Chance!” Austin greeted Jared as he approached the latter.
“Is everything ready, Mr. Zagorski?” Jared asked.
Austin replied, “Everything is ready, but the moment is approaching. If the ten-thousand-year herb trulyemerges, there'll surely be unusual phenomena. I'm afraid we can't hide it from them!”
“Don't worry. I've made improvements to the arcane array set up by Hank, so it can suppress the ten-thousand-year herb. When the time comes, as long as these people are attracted to other places, evenif the ten-thousand-year herb caused unusual phenomena, those people won't be able to head over intime!” Jared said confidently.
