Justin couldn't help but feel the irony. "You wanted the truth, and now that I've said it, you're upset and still insisting I make a purchase."Some customers who had been selecting ginseng left immediately upon hearing about its questionable age.Seeing them go, the shop owner shed his polite demeanor, eyes bulging with anger. Seizing Justin by the collar, he shouted, "You stupid punk, you've got some nerve to claim my ginseng's age is fake! No one's ever dared say that before. You've ruined my business, and whether you like it or not, you're buying all three ginsengs. Calculate the price and make him pay!"The shop assistant, looking pleased, quickly responded, "Sure thing, boss. A hundred-year-old ginseng is 10,000 dollars per decade, totaling 100,000 dollars. The two fifty-year-old ones make another hundred years combined, so that's another 100,000 dollars. Altogether, it's 200,000 dollars."The shop owner thrust the card machine at Justin. "Listen, punk. The

Connor, once a major general in the army, had never lost his influence, even in retirement. His two sons were now colonels, powerful men who commanded respect. Even the mayor, the governor, and Alexander treaded carefully around him.Now living out his days in the serene Riverwood, Connor was deeply engrossed in Eastern culture and had a particular passion for traditional Chinese medicine. His garden was a tapestry of medicinal plants and colorful blooms, filling the air with their intoxicating fragrance. He had amassed a remarkable collection of herbs, using them to make his own remedies for everyday ailments.Justin grinned and said, "Who would've thought a retired major general would be so into traditional Chinese medicine?"Alexander chuckled, "Yeah, his biggest dream is to visit the world's largest city for herbal medicine in China.""Well, let's go see if we can meet him at home!""Sure, let's get the car."Soon, a business car pulled up, and Just

Connor's words left Alexander thrilled; he had finally managed to bring Connor on board. Noticing Justin's silence, he quickly added, "Great, Mr. Grayson. Mr. Miller and I will definitely attend the banquet!""Excellent. I'll make sure someone sends an invitation to Mr. Miller before Thanksgiving!" Connor replied with a broad grin.Seeing that MS-13 had agreed and had nothing more to say, Justin glanced over and noticed Henry standing by the door, lowering his head. He turned to Connor and remarked, "Mr. Grayson, this doctor knows his stuff. It wasn't his fault he couldn't detect the evil spirit. Shouldn't we let him go now?"The last time the doctor had wanted to be his student and Justin didn't agree, but he still stepped up when there was a problem. The doctor's skills were valuable, and keeping him around could help save more lives."Alright, alright... Since Mr. Miller vouches for you, I won't hold it against you," Connor said, gesturing for Henry to get up.

"It's okay. They've known each other since they were kids, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Plus, I've watched Justin grow up, and I know he's got a good heart. He was framed and went to prison, as everyone knows. Laura got divorced a couple of years ago because of that man, so her reputation isn't perfect either. Maybe she hasn't wanted to find anyone else because she's been waiting for Justin to come back. She used to say she wanted to marry him when they were little!"Margaret made some valid points, clearly holding Justin in high regard. If it weren't for the prison issue, they might have already been married.Olivia listened, recalling how Laura always said she'd marry Justin, and quickly responded with a smile, "Right! Why don't you talk to Laura, and I'll chat with Justin? If they both agree, we can set up a time for them to meet!""Sure, that sounds good!"They hung up the phone cheerfully. Olivia turned to her husband Jacob, brimming with excitement. "Hone

"Sure, but I wonder if you dare to take it!" Justin said, a fierce look in his eyes as a sly smile played on his lips.He then produced a bank card Cillian had given him and nodded confidently. "There's ten million dollars on this. Anyone brave enough to take it, go ahead!"He casually placed the bank card on the shoe rack by the door and leaned back with a playful grin, sizing up the room.Everyone was in disbelief at the sight of ten million dollars just sitting there. It was an incredible show of nerve.Noah's eyes lit up with greed as he stared at the card. With that money, he could settle his debts and return to gambling. But it wasn't that simple. He would have to share the bounty with Ryan, who would demand at least half. He had to figure out how to keep the money for himself.Even Laura, huddled in the corner, was astounded by Justin's offer. She couldn't fathom him valuing her so highly. Overwhelmed with emotion, she was moved to tears.The man
