Chapter 646 Too Cheap
They arrived at Ironwick River in the northeast in the evening. Once Jared disembarked from the plane, he felt a chilly breeze. The temperature here was lower than that in Horington.
Fortunately, Jared was wearing thick clothes. Otherwise, he would be freezing by now.
Outside the airport, a Mercedes-Benz was waiting for them. Zyaire had made arrangements for someone to pick them up.
“Uncle Zyaire!” Beside the car, a young man waved at them when he spotted Zyaire.
Zyaire led them to the car and introduced them to the young man. “Mr. Chance, this is my youngest nephew. He’s my youngest brother’s son.”
Jared shot the young man a nod as a form of greeting.
He knew a little about Zyaire’s family, for the latter had introduced his family to him on the plane.
The Rider family had four sons, and Zyaire was the eldest. He was brought up in a poor family. As it was cold in the northeast, it was hard for them to grow any produce there. Thus, at the age of eighteen, Zyaire left his hometown to work elsewhere.
Later, he gained a firm foothold in Yeringham and became rich and powerful. However, he’d still head back to his hometown every year. Zyaire ran a herbs business, and since there were plenty of herbs in the forests in the northeast, he had gathered his brothers to help him get the herbs.
Years later, the Rider family became a wealthy family in the county under Zyaire’s lead. They owned a Mercedes-Benz, which was rare to see in their hometown.
After they got into the car, the car sped off. They soon arrived at a three-story tall mansion—Zyaire’s house. Zyaire’s youngest brother lived here, and he would also stay here whenever he came back.
“Dad! Uncle Zyaire’s back!” Entering the house, the young man yelled at a middle-aged man sitting on the couch.
The middle-aged man was Zyaire’s youngest brother, Eduardo Rider. After their life got better, Eduardo started slacking at work. He would spend his days playing card games and drinking tea leisurely.
At the sight of Zyaire, Eduardo quickly got to his feet. “Zyaire, that’s fast. Are you afraid someone else will get the decamillennium ginseng? I told the Sabine family to keep it for us. Everyone knows you sell herbs within the border, so no one except our family can afford to buy it,” he stated smugly.
Everyone in the vicinity knew that the Rider family specialized in the herbs business.
“Eduardo, hurry up and get someone to prepare some food. We departed at noon and didn’t get to eat lunch,” Zyaire said.
Zyaire knew that Jared and the rest must be starving, as they didn’t get to have lunch.
Jared had reached the Transcendence Phase, so he wouldn’t feel hungry even if he didn’t eat for ten days. However, he could not say the same for Tommy and Phoenix.
Eduardo nodded and gestured for his son to deal with it. He then took Zyaire’s hand and led him to the couch. “Zyaire, the Sabines know nothing. When you state your price, make it as low as possible. We’ll then sell it for a high price within the border and pocket the difference.”
“Did the Sabine family reveal how much they want to sell it for?” Zyaire asked.
“We sounded them out, and they wanted five billion. I think we can buy it for three billion. If we can buy it for that price, we can sell it for tens of billions…” Eduardo revealed his plan excitedly.
“Three billion?” Jared, Zyaire, and the rest gaped in disbelief.
The price was cheaper than they had expected. A thousand-year-old snow lotus cost billions, so a decamillennium ginseng would exceed ten billion. Hence, they were surprised to learn that they could buy it for three billion.
Sensing Zyaire’s surprise, Eduardo gave a small smile. “Zyaire, I’ll be honest with you. If you can get a miracle doctor within the border to treat Ewan Sabine’s illness, they might lower the price.”
