Elise thought Kayson was just comforting her. She said, “Kace, thank you very much. I'm already old. You shouldn't waste your time on me. It's useless.”Kayson was about to say something when a loud voice erupted from outside. “Is my cousin back?” Violet’s cousin came into the living room with a pretty woman beside him.Violet frowned and said, “Cousin.”Violet’s cousin was Jaden Quirk. He was a businessman in the town, but they were not on good terms with each other.“You’ve come, Jaden,” Elise said, her voice gentle.“Grandma, I know how to cure your illness. I came across a famous doctor some time ago, and I heard he’s very good at medicine.”Elise smiled and said, “Alright, alright. Hurry up and take your seat. I’m very happy that all of you came back to visit me today.”Jaden then sat down with the woman as he kept his gaze glued to Talia.“I didn’t expect you to be here as well, Ms. Hall. It has only been a while, and it seems to me that you’ve gotten even prettier.”
Talia huffed, “It’s the truth! You’re the ignorant one!”“The doctor I found is a famous doctor in Northspring. The bigshots from Springside look for him to treat them,” Jaden snapped back.Violet paused and asked, “You don’t mean Mr. Tanner Smith, do you?”Jaden answered proudly, “That’s right. It’s Mr. Tanner Smith from Northspring. He’s a known doctor who has healed plenty of big names.”Kayson was stunned. Tanner Smith… This was a familiar name. The man had a conflict with him and Zachary back in Roselle Lodge.Jaden looked at Kayson with hostility. “Kid, it’s lucky I brought Mr. Smith with me. Who knows what would have happened if you had been allowed to treat my grandmother!”Violet frowned. She was rather powerless now. She had heard of Tanner’s reputation after all. Despite that, Talia was not a pushover, so she retorted, “Enough of this crap. As long as grandma gets better, it’ll be fine, no?”Elise spoke up. “Mr. Tanner Smith? He’s a promising person. Well done for get
Tanner glowered as he watched Jaden and Luna hurry out.Jaden was quick to soothe him. “Mr. Smith, don’t be angry. That Yarde kid isn’t a family member!”That Yarde kid? Tanner paused, and his expression changed swiftly a second later as he thought of something.“I have something else to do. I’ll come some other day…” Tanner turned around frantically and tried to drive away.“Come in.”However, Kayson’s voice came from the inside of the house. Tanner was certain that it was that kid who had been to Roselle Lodge with Zachary previously. Enraged, he glared at Jaden and Luna. “You tricked me! This isn’t over!”He hurried inside after saying that, leaving the bewildered couple there.Tanner spotted Kayson the moment he went inside and winced. He had not forgotten that Kayson had killed Darius. In addition to what he had heard in Northspring, he was incredibly afraid of Kayson.“M-Mr. Yarde, why are you here?”“What a grand opening… Asking Madam Snyder, a patient, to welcome you a
Elise felt bad for her grandson after all. “Dr. Smith, don’t mind my grandson and his girlfriend. They’re just too young and naïve.”Tanner had no idea how to respond and could only look at Kayson.“Whatever Madam Snyder says,” Kayson answered.Tanner snapped his head to tell Jaden and Luna at once, “I’ll dismiss this as a favor for Madam Snyder.”Jaden and Luna stood aside nervously, and Elise told them, “Have a seat now. It’s not nice to keep standing.”It was only then that the two of them dared sit down, but they dared not look at Kayson. The latter represented mystery and power to them right now.Elise said politely, “Dr. Smith, please have a look at my illness.”“Madam Snyder, are you messing with me? You don't need me with Mr. Yarde here.” Tanner chuckled wryly.“Is Kayson really so good?” Elise asked in astonishment.Tanner sighed. “I dare say that I am not the best doctor in Skyriv, nor is Zachary Ewell the best doctor in Clouspring. Mr. Yarde here is the best.”This
“It’d be my absolute honor!” Tanner replied seriously and left with the prescription.Elise got down to walk on the floor without a walking stick, feeling delighted about it. Although she was a senior age-wise, who could really accept walking inconveniences and the need to use a walking stick if they had a choice?Violet was teary from emotion as she thanked Kayson sincerely. “Thank you, Kayson!”“No big deal.” Kayson smiled and asked, “Can you take me to the place where Madam Snyder fell down?”“Of course!”“We’ll go there after the herbs are brewed and Mr. Smith comes back with them,” Kayson said with a smile.“Sure!”Kayson’s phone rang then. It was Chadwick.“Captain Cloude.”Chadwick’s tone was respectful. “Mr. Yarde, where have you gone? Thomas said that he can’t find you.”“I’m at No. 126 in Tearock Town,” Kayson answered.“Thomas said that he’d like to have a detailed chat with you regarding Jay Lynch,” Chadwick said.Kayson frowned. “Sure. I’ll send the location to
The three of them approached the land where nothing could grow.Once Kayson arrived, he used his dark soul and was delighted about what he found.Talia asked, “Kayson, what do you see? Tell us about it!”Violet was curious too as she looked at him in anticipation.“Regular things can’t survive here,” Kayson said with a smile.“What do you mean by regular things?”“Grains, vegetables, fruit, tea, and stuff… Everything you are familiar with can’t be planted here.”Talia thought that Kayson was bluffing, as they already knew that nothing thrived there anyway! How was his statement different from the experts’ judgment?“Then what do you think should be planted here?” Violet asked curiously.“Tonic herbs.”The girls looked astounded. They had obviously not heard of something like this before.Kayson smiled. “For example, a reishi mushroom that’s more than 400 years in age can be called a tonic herb.”The girls understood then, and Violet exclaimed, “I think I’ve heard of someone
Violet and Talia were both furious. The price was obviously too much!Kayson thought about it and agreed. “Okay.”Luca narrowed his eyes. “I wasn’t finished. It’s $15,000,000 per month!”“You might as well rob someone!” Violet cried out in a fury, unable to take it.Luca scoffed. “Too expensive for you? Don’t rent it then!”“Luca!” Alan admonished him in disgruntlement.“Uncle Alan, don’t yell at me. You don’t scare me.” Luca was disdainful.Alan looked embarrassed. It was kind of awkward that he was Luca’s elder but the latter treated him this way.Kayson frowned and asked, “Who taught you?”Luca was alarmed but he masked it well. “Taught me what? I call the shots when it comes to the land I own!”“That’s my plot of land!”Alan, who was furious, told Kayson through gritted teeth, “I’ll sell it to you for $15,000!”Luca pulled a retractable stick from his back and pointed it at Alan instantly. “Try selling it, Uncle Alan. Try me!”People who had lived their whole lives in
Thomas was bummed. Breezy Group? Why was the top company in Greenspring involved in this… This exceeded the scope of his authority!Violet and Talia were shocked as well. That vacant plot of land was actually related to Breezy Group?Kayson was not making it up then? This plot of land was actually unique and valuable?Alan was similarly taken aback but he was enraged when he heard that Luca had accepted $1,500,000 from someone.“$1,500,000? Luca Quirk, you rascal! I was wondering why you’ve been breathing down my neck, and it’s because you’ve taken money from someone else!”Although everyone in town was living comfortably thanks to Violet’s father, $1,500,000 was still a huge sum to them.Kayson was deep in thought. Breezy Group… Did Hansel know about the energy-charged land? If he had known about the value of the treasure plot, though, he could have just bought it from Alan directly. Why would he have paid someone to keep an eye on it?Kayson smiled. “I’ll pay you $3,000,000 fo
