Reflecting on Kate's words, Roderick couldn't deny the truth.

However, he knew the roots he sought were extremely rare to the extent that the big four, highly influential men in the city, couldn't guarantee an easy find.

Moreover, Roderick never embraced the idea of exposing his identity to the public as the secret miracle doctor of Kentland County just to gain people's favor.

He wouldn’t order them around to search for rare herbs on his behalf, even if they were in the most inaccessible places on Earth.

He simply could never lower himself to such an extent. He couldn’t reveal his identity for such a flimsy reason. He had to keep his identity hidden for his goals to be achieved.

The rare root he needed to treat Oliver Santos was only a short-term objective. Roderick had a bigger goal ahead that he needed to pursue.

Even though he hadn’t been able to heal Oliver Santos yet or discover the people responsible for his parent's deaths, he knew with certainty they were not easily accessible

    Benjamin instantly reached for his phone and quickly searched for the most expensive and lively hotel in Meadow City.Within a few minutes, he found his choice - The Tranquil Hotel.The hotel's reviews praised its quiet and calm environment. He also learned that the hotel was named after the gentle sea beside it.‘Perfect choice!’ Benjamin thought to himself as he quickly drove to the location.In a few minutes, the car stopped in front of a well-built hotel. The tranquility of the surroundings was unmatched.Benjamin had a slight smile on his face; he was pleased to find the hotel environment just as the reviews had described.He would have been disappointed if it had been otherwise—a case of what I ordered versus what I got.He was about to turn to Roderick to ask for his opinion about the hotel when he noticed his somewhat frowning face.“Mr. Holmes, don’t you like this hotel? I can search for a better one if you want. Please give me a moment.”Roderick stopped Benjamin as he was a

    Roderick's mind went back to the events that had occurred that day, and he remembered that he had rescued some ladies from Rakshasa's prison.What Roderick was trying to understand now was how that had anything to do with the woman. Could it be that one of her children or family members was among the ladies?Given the great ability the old woman possesses, Roderick didn't want to believe that his thought was right.This was because he felt someone with such great ability should be able to save her family members if they were in such a situation.After a round of thoughts, Roderick finally settled that he was just trying to guess. He felt there might be something else behind it.Then, Roderick said to Benjamin, "I'm still trying to understand if one of her children was among the ladies I rescued. I should have been stunned by how she knew that I did such a thing today, but she is more knowledgeable about hidden information than I can imagine."Benjamin didn't know why he was feeling un

    Both Roderick and Benjamin were instantly taken aback. They remembered that the old woman had only helped them get into the market and return to the spot where they met her when they arrived.They were seriously stunned to see how she had become the seller in this store now.Roderick had to let go of his surprise and quickly walked closer to the old woman and spoke."Mother, I'm the one to whom you gave the last slot in the market earlier."The old woman nodded where she sat and responded, "Of course, I can recognize your voice."Roderick felt good to hear that. He was about to explain to the old woman why they had come to her when she spoke up."I know you must be surprised to see me in the market now. The truth is, even though I'm seated at the entrance of the market, I'm aware of everything that is going on inside."Benjamin felt a quick strike in his heart upon hearing that. He believed that for the old woman to have such an ability, she would be able to see into people's past as

    A few moments later, they finally arrived at the part of the market where precious stones were sold."Very good. I think we are getting closer to our goal now," Roderick commented as he glanced at the row of stalls of the precious stone sellers.They had passed a few stalls when Benjamin spoke up. "We should be able to get the stones you desire here, too. It's not necessary to walk all the way to the end of the stalls."Roderick nodded and responded, "You are right, Mr. White. But my first target is rare herbs. Once I find them, we can return to get any precious stone of our choice.""That's alright then," Benjamin answered. He now understood that Roderick was more concerned about the rare herbs than anything else.Moreover, the day was coming to an end, and the old woman at the entrance of the market had mentioned that the market would close soon. Given that, they had to go for what they need before what they want.Benjamin remembered that Roderick had asked him about the availabilit

    Aside from Roderick and the old woman, the rest of them were mind-blown, especially Benjamin.He was lost in a deep mystery.His first mystery was how Roderick gave such an accurate answer to such a strange and unthinkable test.How on earth would someone know the number of seeds in a pear? That's very hidden information, for crying out loud!Yet, Roderick casually answered it, and it was completely accurate.Benjamin was surprised that he wasn't moved by the outcome of the test. He expected excitement to be all over his face, as he had put the herbalists, who were looking down on him, in their place.Despite that, they took almost the whole day to make the incantation, and their answer wasn't as accurate as Roderick's.Another mystery that left Benjamin hanging in a corner was how the old woman knew Roderick's answer was right before crushing the pear for them all to see.This was very hard for Benjamin to understand.At the beginning of the test, Benjamin was worried that even if Ro

    'What?!'Benjamin screamed inwardly. He wondered what sort of test this was.How did the woman expect them to know the number of seeds in a pear without crushing it to find out?This was close to impossible.Benjamin finally concluded that this could be called a guessing game, and whoever had a lucky guess would get the chance to enter the market.Nevertheless, he couldn't deny that it was not an easy task to guess correctly.That aside, Benjamin shifted his attention to something else: the old woman's blindness.He was trying to understand how the old woman would know who gave the correct answer when she couldn't see.At the same moment, Benjamin called himself back to attention regarding how the old woman knew there were two parties in front of her.This time, he couldn't deny the fact that the matter seemed beyond what he could naturally find an answer to.The herbalists were already beaming with joy, anticipating how the matter would unfold.The sacred market was only for great cu
