Chapter 436 It Is Not Your Decision To Make
“Count them fast and transfer me the funds as soon as possible. I want to head back and get some rest.” Jared could not be bothered to convince Jeremy that he made the pills himself.
When Jared was about to leave upon receiving the money, Jeremy called out, “Young man, I wonder if you have some time to make a trip to Herb Palace? The Palace Chief would like to meet you.”
Jared hesitated for a while before nodding his head. “Sure!”
It was also his intention to meet the Palace Chief. If we could share a strong bond, I might be able to take advantage of the excellent resources at Herb Palace.
Jared let Jesse return alone while he followed Jeremy back to the palace.
Meanwhile, Spencer was over the moon to know that his subordinate had found the person who knew how to cultivate the revitalizing pills. It’s a piece of awesome news to the palace if we could hire him or discover the ways to cultivate the pills.
However, when Spencer met Jared for the first time, he was rather disappointed. He’s only in his twenties? Can someone his age cultivates the revitalizing pills? Shouldn’t it be an experienced person who has worked on it for decades?
“Palace Chief, he’s here,” Jeremy reported politely.
Spencer nodded as he scrutinized Jared. “You’re the one who cultivated the revitalizing pills?”
Doubts laced his tone of voice. He could not help but remain suspicious. After all, it was very normal for scammers to come up with attractive stories in order to gain access to Herb Palace.
“I can leave now if you don’t believe me,” Jared uttered placidly and then turned his head to leave.
His response caught Spencer by surprise. Instantly, he stopped him from taking a step further. “Don’t mind me thinking out loud, young man. I’ve never seen such a young alchemy master, that’s why. Please, have a seat.”
There was no reason for Jared to leave right away. Upon accepting Spencer’s apology, he chose to stay.
“Serve us some tea.” Spencer gestured at Jeremy.
Smiling, he turned to Jared. “How should I address you, young man?”
“Jared Chance,” the lad replied.
As soon as Spencer heard the name, he gaped at Jared in disbelief, and so did Jeremy who overheard it on his way out.
“Are you the one who killed Zachariah?” Spencer wanted to confirm his identity so badly.
“Yes, that’s me.” Jared was not astonished that they knew who he was.
It would really make his jaw drop if the people from Herb Palace had not heard about it at all since the incident had happened some time ago.
“Hahaha… Wonderful! Impressive!” Spencer let out a hearty guffaw. “Have you received the herbs from an earlier trade with Herb Palace? I commanded them to handpick the most premium ones for my newfound friend.”
“Palace Chief, is your main agenda of bringing me here just to make friends?” Jared grinned.
Spencer chuckled. “Since you asked, Jared, let me be honest with you. I wish to know the method of making the revitalizing pills. Additionally, I’d like to invite you to join Herb Palace if you don’t mind. Once you’re in, not a single soul in Chanaea would mess with you, let alone the whole of Jazona. Feel free to make any requests, and I’ll be sure to fulfill all of them where possible.”
Jared smiled. The Palace Chief of Herb Palace has the audacity to say such a thing? Doesn’t he know that there’s an abundance of capable and talented individuals within the several billions of people in Chanaea? What is a mere Herb Palace?
Yet, he did not refute Spencer. Looking across at the far end of the hall, Jared said, “I shall present all of my requests to the person who makes the rules here. I’m afraid it’s not your decision to make.”
