Chapter 458
Woah!Enzo was shocked to see things move in this direction within a few minutes.He never thought Owen's rage could get out of hand so quickly.While Owen's face looked seriously dangerous at this moment, Roderick wasn't even moved an inch.He scoffed and asked Owen, "You must have great faith in that knife of yours to think it could help you secure the mountain berry."Owen's head exploded as Roderick was still all talk despite the dangerous move he had just pulled."I advise you to stop your shitty talk because my patience gets thin so quickly."Roderick’s brows raised slightly as he answered Owen, "Should I consider that a threat? If it is, you can go ahead with whatever move you have up your sleeve."What?!One of the things Owen hated most was being dared. He never believed a kid like Roderick had the guts to dare him.Well, it was Owen who had provoked his wrath. Roderick should have himself to blame by the time he meets himself six feet underground.Then Owen said, "Since you

All eyes turned in the direction from which the voice had come, and they met the gaze of a cold middle-aged man.He exuded an arrogant aura, and his gaze was as sharp as Xena's sword.While confusion lingered in their stares, he walked past everyone and stopped next to Enzo."Oh, Mr. Juan, I see you have already prepared the mountain berry so I can have it and leave quickly. I appreciate that," the middle-aged man, Owen Cross, said with a sheepish smile as he reached to accept the wooden box from Enzo.Benjamin had been lost in the earlier confusion until he regained his senses and spoke at this moment."What's going on here, Mr. Juan?!"Enzo, who had been completely silent since Owen's arrival, felt he had to clear the air now.He said, "I think this is my fault, Ben. I can't remember if I had any discussion with Owen about this mountain berry. But I don't think he would be lying about it. What do you think?"Roderick's face had already changed at this moment.He didn't want to belie

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
