Chapter 456
A total silence engulfed the atmosphere as Enzo stated his words, which left Benjamin staring at the chubby man in wonder.He couldn't understand why the man would compare those two things to each other.He was trying to evaluate how mentioning the number of seeds a fruit contains relates to knowing the contents of a wooden box.It was quite a different matter from Benjamin's reasoning.However, upon giving the matter another round of thought, he could understand the slight correlation between the two things.It's basically revealing the hidden content of something.This made Benjamin completely confused about how to argue with Enzo about this.Roderick was slightly surprised that Enzo, who had been acting quite mentally unstable, could think in such a direction.It was really quite surprising.Enzo was about to dismiss them since none of what they had brought up moved him. Just then, Roderick spoke up."Mr. Juan, you don't mind if I give it one last try?"An idea had just crept into
Chapter 455
The silence deepened as all eyes turned to Roderick. He knew such a revelation would capture everyone's attention, as it truly had great potential.Being multilingual is a great skill, but being a polyglot is on an even higher level of talent.Well, thanks to being a soldier, and particularly a War King. The mind-blowing potential of being a polyglot would not have been possible without the number of wars Roderick had fought all over the world.This had helped him learn many languages and cultures from different tribes.The silence in the air grew deeper until Benjamin finally broke it by turning to Roderick and saying, "Mr. Holmes, we have been friends for a little while, and I never knew you were a polyglot. Wow! I must say, you are truly talented!"Roderick only nodded slowly. He had never been moved by praise for his talent in the past, so Benjamin's flattering words did little to affect him.Benjamin immediately turned to Enzo. "Mr. Juan, even I never imagined that Mr. Holmes wou
Chapter 454
Roderick was quite confused upon hearing that. Meanwhile, Benjamin understood the problem right away and quickly spoke."Mr. Juan, I think this is another misunderstanding. What my friend meant by 'the price' isn't about money. What he meant was that you should mention what you want in return for the rare root."There was a brief silence, as Benjamin explained.Enzo was already angry, struggling to believe Benjamin's explanation.However, his intelligence wouldn't allow him to accept it.He knew it was just another trick hiding behind sweet words.Then, he asked Benjamin, "Why didn't you tell your friend earlier how disgusting it is for me to be offered money? Does he think I look poor or weak, that money is my problem?"This time, Roderick clearly understood what he had done wrong. Of course, by "the price," he had meant money. He never realized it was wrong to say that to Enzo.He had clearly offended Enzo by offering him money for the rare root.He remembered Benjamin had told him
Chapter 453
Roderick's face instantly brightened at the sight of the small, deeply colored mountain berry sitting gently in the well-crafted wooden box.As his eyes continued to gaze at it with joy, he couldn't wait to lay a hand on the rare root.Benjamin, who had no idea what a mountain berry looked like, had his eyes glued to Roderick's facial reactions.In a whisper, he asked Roderick, "Mr. Holmes, is that really the mountain berry? Is that really the rare root you are looking for?"Of course, he was sure Enzo did have the rarest roots that are difficult to find in the world.But his trust in him had waned after the madness he had shown them today.He didn't want to think that the chubby, slightly insane madman was toying with them.With a slight nod, Roderick answered him, "Yes, it's the mountain berry, Mr. White. It's really the rare root."It was as though a box of butterflies was released into Benjamin's stomach as Roderick confirmed that it was indeed the rare root he was seeking.The ra
Chapter 452
The duo was surprised to hear that from him and paused.Benjamin was already regretting agreeing with Roderick to visit Enzo today.Enzo could be his friend, but he was just that madman whom he hated to encounter in his nightmares, let alone in real life.Now, here they were before him, witnessing just the tip of the iceberg of the madness in his library.Roderick, at this point, was already at the edge of his anger but needed to keep a cool head.He had promised Benjamin that he would withstand whatever nonsense Enzo might present to them.There was no way he could go back on his word now.What the duo couldn't understand was why Enzo had stopped them.He had already told them he had never heard of the rare root they needed.Then he had the stupidity to suggest implicating them by killing himself.Before he succeeded in his foolishness, they decided to leave instead. Now, he had just stopped them.For what reason?In a calm tone, Benjamin pleaded with Enzo, "Mr. Juan, please just all
Chapter 451
Roderick's face twisted slightly in total confusion. He didn't want to believe he had heard Enzo correctly.Benjamin had told him that Enzo was one of the biggest rare root collectors he had ever known. How could such a prominent rare root collector have never heard of a mountain berry?Was that supposed to be a joke?Neither Roderick nor Benjamin could react except to watch Enzo as he continued to bark."Do you mean you're here to challenge my knowledge of rare roots? Or what do you mean by a mountain berry? Does the mountain have a berry?!"Enzo was already overreacting, which only made Roderick and Benjamin more confused.It would have been no trouble if he had simply said he didn't have the rare root or had never heard of it before. Was it necessary for him to go mad over it?Well, they thought it might be a big slap in the face to the so-called big rare root collector to say he had never heard of a mountain berry, and the best he could do was to make Roderick and Benjamin, who re
