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

Roderick and Benjamin wore deep frowns upon seeing that.It was hard for Roderick to understand how a grown man like Enzo could be so foolish as to serve them such nonsense.Isn't it better for him not to invite them to dine at all rather than serve them this trash?Roderick, whose stomach had been grumbling for food earlier, didn't know how to reconcile his hunger with the anger boiling in his chest.His salivating tongue didn't get satisfied right away.Well, only Roderick could be surprised by this. As for Benjamin, it was easy for him to remind himself that this was just one of Enzo's foolish antics.He knew him to be very consistent and creative with it, but he never predicted he could fool them into his dining room only to dish out some of his stupidity."Enjoy your meal, my friend," Enzo said to Roderick with a smile as he munched on a well-fried chicken.Benjamin saw the look on Roderick's face—he was already close to losing it—when the elderly man quickly spoke up."Ahm... Th

The night passed so fast, and it was already a new morning. Roderick quickly prepared himself and joined Benjamin at their agreed-upon meeting point.As soon as Roderick settled inside the car, a brief silence took over the atmosphere as Benjamin’s eyes remained glued to the rear-view mirror.Roderick was quite confused about the reason for the silence and had to ask Benjamin, "Mr. White, what are you waiting for?""Your order, sir," Benjamin answered shortly."What order? Start the car, Mr. White. This is a five-hour journey. We should get going now."Benjamin nodded slowly and began the trip. He had only driven for ten minutes when he asked Roderick, "Mr. Holmes, are you sure you can really endure Enzo’s unreasonable attitude? In case you change your mind, we can still make a U-turn here."Roderick couldn’t understand why Benjamin was bringing this up again. They had already finalized it yesterday and agreed.So, why is he hesitating now?He wondered if Benjamin knew how important t

"Huh? What's the problem, Kate?"Roderick was surprised by her sudden reaction, which made him ask.Faking a smile, she lied to him. "I actually wanted to prank you.""Really? I doubt that's true. You look more like you were ready to go head-on into a war," Roderick explained.Well, that was right. Kate affirmed inwardly.She was actually ready to go to war against anyone who might have thought of ending her relationship with Roderick.Getting married to him was the greatest goal of her life, and she wouldn't fold her arms to allow anything to come between them.Kate, realizing her lie wasn't perfect, had to convince Roderick to think of something new."Ehn... I was actually trying out my acting skills. I'm looking forward to getting into the entertainment world after the glory you enjoyed at Flytime Cinema the other night. I don't want such honor to be occasional for you; I want it at all times.""Oops! I'm sorry. I don't think I'm interested in that." Roderick waved his hands before
Chapter 447
After Roderick left Houston's residence, the only thing on his mind was how to get his hands on the rare roots waiting for him in South City.After pondering the matter for a moment, he agreed with himself that the best time to get the rare roots was none other than now.With the competition ahead of him in South City, it would be better for him to make a proper plan before embarking on the journey.Thinking about what could be holding him back from the journey, there was only one thing that seemed very significant. Then, Roderick slid his phone out of his pocket and made a call.Immediately, the call connected, and Kate's voice was heard on the other end."Where are you, Kate? I have something to discuss with you.""Oh, I'm at home. You can come around."Kate answered, and Roderick headed toward Bolton Manor.At this time, Kate was in the garden of Bolton Manor, dressed in a simple gown, enjoying the fresh air.She was quite pondering what Roderick could have to tell her, given how s
