Chapter 305 High Quality Ginseng
Back then, the Whitaker family had been attacked and surrounded by hundreds of their enemies. At the very last moment, Alfred had managed to rescue them by defeating their enemies single-handedly. From then on, Alfred had become part of the Whitaker family.
“Alfred, bring some men with you to Yeringham, and capture the man who crippled Tyrion. If you can’t take him alive, just bring him in dead. If we don’t do this, I’m afraid the Jantz family will look down upon us even more!”
No matter what, Kane had to dispose of Jared; otherwise, he would be scolded by his wife every day and viewed with contempt by the Jantz family.
“Mr. Whitaker, don’t worry. I’ll definitely bring him back to you.”
Nodding resolutely, Alfred turned and left.
The next morning, when Jared and the others were having breakfast in the hotel, Frida had driven over to meet them.
“Josephine, Zeke was worried that you wouldn’t know the way, so he asked me to pick you up,” Frida said.
“All right, then. Let’s go!”
“Josephine, you didn’t sleep with your boyfriend last night, did you?” Frida whispered after walking up to her.
“What are you talking about? We have our own respective rooms!”
Josephine shot her a glare.
With Frida leading the way, Jared and the others arrived at Goldenbirch Herbs very quickly.
The shop was in the city center and had a floor space of more than a thousand square meters. Evidently, Goldenbirch Herbs was a very well-established business.
The moment they entered, the staff greeted Frida courteously, “Ms. Shaw, Mr. Griffin wants you to know that he is waiting for you at the back.”
“All right!” Frida nodded and waved at Josephine. “Josephine, let’s head to the back.”
As Jared and Tommy followed the girls from behind, they scrutinized the entire store. Even though it was still early in the morning, the store was already busy with customers. Some were verifying the authenticity of the goods, while others were bargaining for lower prices.
In the main lobby, there were thousands of herbs on display in the cabinets. Furthermore, all of their names and uses were clearly labeled, which demonstrated the professionalism of Goldenbirch Herbs.
Jared tried to sense the presence of any spiritual energy, but he realized that there was none. It only meant that there was nothing special about the herbs. Nevertheless, it made sense to him, as no one would display their treasures in the main lobby.
After traversing the main lobby, they entered a narrow corridor before arriving in a large hall at the back. On both sides of the hall were warehouses that were filled with sacks of herbs.
“Jared, you’re here.”
Upon seeing Jared and the others, Zeke approached them with a smile. “Have a seat first. I have to entertain a guest. I’ll show you guys around once I’m done.”
“Zeke, take your time. There’s no hurry.” Jared grinned.
Zeke nodded in acknowledgment. “Men, serve them some coffee!”
After making sure Jared and the others were attended to, Zeke returned to his guest. At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting at a square table right in the middle of the hall. Zeke arrived and took a seat right opposite him.
With an exquisite-looking wooden box placed in the middle of the table, both of them seemed to be negotiating a deal.
Jared sat down, sipped his coffee, and watched them out of boredom.
“Mr. Griffin, what I have here is a ginseng that’s more than a century old. You can tell what an excellent specimen this is by its shape and texture. Hence, I’ll offer it to you for twenty million, which is a steal. If you don’t take it, I’ll offer it to Trinity Herbs instead. I’m sure they will definitely buy it from me for that price.”
The middle-aged man suddenly raised his voice as he spoke to Zeke.
