Chapter 261
The cab in which Roderick had just been highlighted had already driven past him before he raised his head to look at who had just shouted in the distance.Even though he never cared about whoever it was, the voice still sounded quite familiar to him.Upon seeing who it was—Edmund Ash—Roderick’s lips only curled up slightly in irritation. The image of how the senseless elderly man had embarrassed himself at the rare herbs auction the other day appeared in his mind.Noticing that Edmund’s steady eyes were staring at him now, Roderick already knew he was about to cause trouble again. Given that he had no time for whatever nonsense might be on Edmund’s mind, Roderick ignored him completely.Ah!This piqued the celebrity herbalist’s anger. He couldn’t believe that Roderick really wanted to ignore him.Roderick was the scapegoat heaven had sent him to vent his anger on. How could he think he would escape?Since Edmund had a grudge against Roderick from before, he refused to sell the sunston
Chapter 262
Not to seem defeated too quickly, Edmund had to stomach this pain even though it was tearing his stomach mercilessly.Then, he answered Roderick. "Haha! I understand your tricks. You must be really afraid of my entourage, so you're scared and want to know if they're close by before you trespass. Could that mean you are really afraid of being beaten up by them?"Eh!What a pity!Roderick couldn't believe that this was the only thought that had come into Edmund's mind.Well, he wasn't very surprised about it. After all, once a fool always a fool. For that, he just had to let him display more of his foolishness.Edmund spoke up right away. "As for my entourage, I assigned them to handle some assignments for me, and they are earning handsomely."Roderick wondered who had asked him for the unnecessary news he was casting.Edmund stared at Roderick more disgustedly and said, "Yes, they are earning handsomely and living very well, unlike you, whose life is in shambles."The celebrity herbali

"What?!"Edmund yelled at the top of his voice as he was plunged into deep confusion.He wondered how Roderick, a nobody, could gain entrance into the exclusive restaurant while he was denied entry.Did this mean that Secrets and Savour restaurant now favored irrelevant people over someone like him?A vision of how the security officers honorably welcomed Roderick appeared in Edmund's mind, and he nearly went mad.He couldn't believe they had just called Roderick their distinguished guest of the day.How could that be possible?He remembered the security officers mentioning that Jacob York was expecting a very special guest today.Edmund felt so disappointed that the security officers could be so careless as to mistake Roderick for the special guest Jacob was expecting.Then, he quickly rushed over to them to alert them before they ended up offending Jacob with their carelessness.With a mocking smile, Edmund called the security officers’ attention. "I thought you guys were very capab

Meanwhile, as soon as Roderick set foot inside the restaurant, a young lady dressed in a fitted black suit quickly rushed toward him."Welcome to Secrets and Savour, Mr. Holmes. I was personally instructed by Mr. York to lead you in. May I show you the way, sir?" the young lady asked in a very respectful tone. She was the manager of the restaurant, Cindy Hackett.Roderick nodded in response, and Cindy quickly led the way to the VIP space Jacob York had personally reserved to receive his distinguished guest.The restaurant was so quiet at that moment that every footstep they took echoed loudly against the walls.The truth was that, as soon as it was 10 AM, Secrets and Savour dismissed every customer in the restaurant and refused to admit anyone else.This wasn't for any other reason but because the chairman of Secrets and Savour was expecting a very special guest. He couldn’t be careless enough to allow anyone to cause trouble before or during his distinguished guest’s visit.The young

Benjamin was instantly shocked to hear his friend's voice from behind."What has he come here to do at this time for f***'s sake?!" Benjamin cursed inwardly, as he had never expected Jacob to show up in the VIP section at this hour.Jacob might be the chairman of Secrets and Savour and could visit any section of the restaurant at any time of his choosing, but he never expected him now.He knew Jacob rarely visited the restaurant, as he had entrusted the restaurant's dealings to Cindy’s care.Out of all days, why is he here today?Benjamin was here today to treat Roderick specially so that he could obtain the ingredients of the miracle pill from him and sell it to Jacob to heal his father. By then, he would have made some good profits off his friend.Benjamin was worried that if Jacob accidentally met Roderick now, his initial plan would definitely be disrupted.At this moment, Benjamin began to regret his decision to agree with Roderick when he suggested that Secrets and Savour was a

In the VIP space, Roderick was sitting quietly while Jacob and his friends hurried about, trying to serve him with the best of the best.The elderly men had chosen to serve him all by themselves without using the help of any of their employees.They settled on this because they found it unreasonable to have their employees serve Roderick while they were the ones who personally needed his help.These rich, wealthy men found it unreasonable to sit cross-legged, watching someone else run around to serve Roderick's needs in their presence.They thought that, to seem reasonable and genuine in seeking help from Roderick, they had to choose to serve him as if they were slaves.Of course, yes.They needed Roderick's help to save their lives with his miraculous healing ability.However, instead of being pleased by these efforts, Roderick felt totally displeased.He was already feeling very uncomfortable as the way the big four were honoring him was getting out of hand.Then, he called out for

A quick shock instantly took over the room upon Arnold's action. None of them saw this coming. Not even Jacob, who had helped plan to meet Roderick and honor him greatly, had the slightest idea of the action Arnold had just taken. A Ferrari LaFerrari costs tens of millions! Jacob was displeased that Arnold didn't inform him about the gift he had prepared for Roderick. If he had known, he would have gone to extra lengths to prepare a more expensive gift for Roderick. Why wouldn't he? Jacob seriously needed Roderick's help to cure his father's sickness. Given that, he wouldn't hesitate to go the extra mile to gift Roderick a more expensive present ahead of Arnold, who had already been healed. Sincerely, Jacob wasn't satisfied with how Arnold kept such an initiative a secret. This was already making Jacob feel embarrassed. He despised himself for not being able to understand why he hadn’t thought of this himself earlier. Wasn't he supposed to think about preparing a gigantic gift
Chapter 268
Unbelievable!Arnold’s head raised immediately, staring at Roderick in total disbelief.He didn’t want to believe his ears that he had heard Roderick correctly.Arnold couldn’t believe that Roderick rejected his gift because he found it too expensive.What?!“How could he even think so?” Arnold wondered.This time, he was quite surprised, wondering whether Roderick knew the worth of what he had done for him.Roderick was the one who healed him from his deadly kidney disease and gave him the chance to live longer on earth.If not for his help, Arnold couldn’t deny that he would have joined his ancestors by now, given the report he had gotten from his doctor.Arnold couldn’t believe that he was already afraid he had offended Roderick by offering him a car worth only tens of millions instead of presenting him with one worth hundreds of millions.Who could have thought that the reason behind Roderick’s displeasure was that he found the gift too expensive?Then, Arnold quickly spoke up. “M

Ah!Roderick's eyes widened immediately. He found it hard to believe what these elderly men were up to.He had a personal reason for accepting their invitation earlier. Roderick knew they all needed his help in one way or another.Given that, he had planned to assign them the task of searching for the rare root he needed to treat Oliver Santos.After that, he would be willing to attend to whatever troubles they were experiencing that required his intervention.However, now that the elderly men had already begun to butter him up with so many gifts, wouldn't his initial plan for accepting their invitation be compromised?Naturally, Roderick wasn't the type to burden other people with his worries. The rare roots he needed to treat Oliver Santos were his troubles, and he wouldn't bother anybody else with them.He had only agreed to follow Kate's advice to put the Big Four in charge of the search on his behalf because he really wished to get Oliver cured as soon as possible.Oliver's child

Benjamin hadn't finished his words when Roderick's eyes had already lifted in total surprise.He gently accepted the wooden box from Benjamin to examine the rare ginseng root."A century-old ginseng root? That's not just rare, but a globally valued root," Roderick slowly opened the box as these thoughts reeled through his mind.A ginseng root wasn't among the rare roots he needed to treat Oliver Santos, but laying hands on such valuable herbs wasn't something he could take for granted.Upon opening the box and making eye contact with the rare root, Roderick was mind-blown as it confirmed how old the ginseng was. It really was a century-old ginseng root.Given how surprised Roderick was to see the century-old ginseng, he didn’t know when he asked Benjamin, "If you don't mind, can you tell me how you were able to find this?"Arnold and his friends had their hearts leap right away.The enthusiasm on Roderick's face at this moment was unbelievable to them.Now, they began to wonder if it
