Chapter 305: High-Quality Ginseng

The Whitaker family had been attacked and surrounded by hundreds of enemies. Alfred rescued them single-handedly, becoming a member of the family thereafter.

“Alfred, take men to Yeringham and capture the man who crippled Tyrion. Bring him back alive if possible; otherwise, bring him back dead. Failure is unacceptable; the Jantz family will scorn us further!”

Kane had to eliminate Jared; otherwise, he faced daily scoldings from his wife and the Jantz family's contempt.

“Mr. Whitaker, I will bring him back.”

Alfred nodded resolutely and left.

The next morning, while Jared and his companions ate breakfast at their hotel, Frida arrived.

“Josephine, Zeke was worried you’d get lost, so he sent me,” Frida said.

“All right, let’s go!”

After approaching Josephine, Frida whispered, “Josephine, you didn’t sleep with your boyfriend last night, did you?”

Josephine glared. “What are you talking about? We have separate rooms!”

Frida led Jared and the others to Goldenbirch Herbs. The shop, located in the city center, occupied over a thousand square meters, indicating a well-established business.

Upon entering, staff greeted Frida politely: “Ms. Shaw, Mr. Griffin is waiting for you in the back.”

“All right!” Frida nodded and gestured to Josephine. “Josephine, let’s go to the back.”

Jared and Tommy followed, observing the bustling shop. Even early in the morning, customers were verifying goods and haggling. Thousands of herbs, clearly labeled with names and uses, filled the display cabinets, showcasing Goldenbirch Herbs’ professionalism.

Jared sensed no spiritual energy, concluding the herbs were unremarkable—a reasonable assumption, as no one would display their most valuable items in the main lobby.

They passed through the main lobby, down a narrow corridor, and into a large hall. Warehouses filled with sacks of herbs lined both sides.

Zeke approached with a smile. “Jared, you’re here. Have a seat. I’m entertaining a guest; I’ll show you around afterward.”

“Take your time, Zeke,” Jared grinned.

“Men, coffee for our guests!” Zeke instructed.

After ensuring his guests were comfortable, Zeke rejoined his guest, a middle-aged man seated at a central square table. An exquisite wooden box sat between them, suggesting a business negotiation.

Bored, Jared sipped his coffee and observed.

The middle-aged man addressed Zeke, raising his voice: “Mr. Griffin, this is a ginseng over a century old. Its shape and texture speak for themselves. I’m offering it for twenty million—a steal. If you refuse, I’ll offer it to Trinity Herbs; they’ll pay that price.”
