Chapter 435 Keep Me Company
Jesse followed him out. Lionel seemed to have aged a decade within seconds. Looking frail, he said miserably, “Please give my room to Mr. Chance. I don’t deserve it.”
Jesse nodded and conveyed the message to Jared, who gladly accepted the offer and moved into the room at the far end of the hallway.
At nightfall, the streets turned lively.
Jared suggested, “Jesse, why don’t you accompany me to roam around this place? Let’s see if there’s anything interesting.”
Jesse nodded vigorously. “Sure, Mr. Chance. I’ll bring you to Trader Street. It’s a temporary area built to facilitate the trading of special goods between martial artists.”
Shortly after, they arrived at the vibrant Trader Street that was filled with an excited buzz. There were shops selling herbs, medicines, jades, cauldrons, swords, and a wide array of weapons!
As Jared walked around the area, he was disappointed to see that there was nothing impressive. All the goods were regular items that could be easily found elsewhere. He was looking forward to finding a unique spiritual tool that could help him cultivate an ultimate shielding tool for Josephine.
Jesse noticed his downcast face and explained, “Mr. Chance, all the good stuff are usually taken to Herb Palace as soon as they appear. You can’t find anything extraordinary here. That’s one of the reasons why Herb Palace is organizing this Martial Arts Gathering.”
As Jared listened, it suddenly dawned on him that he still has some revitalizing pills. So, he queried, “What are the procedures to sell something here?”
Jesse shook his head “There’s no specific protocol to follow. You just need to find a space and set up a stall.” He then added, “You have something you want to trade, Mr. Chance?”
“Yup, I want to sell some of my revitalizing pills.”
Saying so, Jared spotted a vacant area and occupied it immediately. Then, he whipped out the pills.
Jesse examined the dark-colored pills in Jared’s hands. Feeling dubious about it, he questioned, “What are these pills called, Mr. Chance?”
“Revitalizing pills,” Jared replied casually.
“Oh, I see.” Jesse had not heard of it before.
A subordinate from Herb Palace past them coincidentally and caught the name of the pills. He took a quick glance at Jared subconsciously and left at lightning speed.
Soon, the butler from Herb Palace, Jeremy, rushed over with his subordinate.
Prior to this, Spencer had instructed Jeremy to look for the revitalizing pills. As the latter was busy organizing the Martial Arts Gathering, he did not get a chance to visit Yeringham and Horington. Now that he heard the news about someone selling the pills at Trader Street, he knew he had to go see it for himself.
Jeremy gave Jared a once-over and asked, “Hey, young man, what are these pills called?”
“Revitalizing pills,” Jared answered honestly.
Without saying a word, Jeremy picked one up carefully, smelled it, crushed it into pieces, and then tasted a pinch of it.
Seeing his abrupt actions, Jared furrowed his brows. “How dare you smash my pill into powder before even indicating your desire to buy?”
Jesse swiftly whispered, “Mr. Chance, this is the butler from Herb Palace. It’s highly likely that he will buy everything that you have to offer.”
Hearing so, Jared finally understood his intention and nodded firmly.
After tasting the pill, a sparkle appeared in his eyes. “How much is one of these pills, young man?”
“Two million,” Jared answered nonchalantly.
“Okay, deal! I want all of them,” Jeremy said decisively. Then, he ordered his man to count the pills. “By the way, young man, can you tell me who cultivated these pills?”
“I did it myself,” Jared said proudly.
“You?” Jeremy stared at him in amazement.
