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
Thomas was a little fidgety. “Mr. Yarde…”“What’s up with Jay Lynch? Just tell me what happened,” Kayson said.Thomas sighed and recounted the matter honestly.Beyond Construction was a subsidiary of Breezy Group. Given what had happened to Jay, his father, Zion, naturally went to Breezy Group for help.Thomas’ superior, Cameron Oberden, received a call from Hansel and asked Thomas to release the man soon afterward.Kayson scrunched his brows upon hearing that. What Thomas said after that made him feel quite impressed with Cameron.Cameron was a strong-willed person. He knew that Breezy Group had powerful support and was influential but he was not scared. Since he had just been promoted to his position, he had even dared fight back any calls to release a subject. He was truly fearless and unaffected by his wife and child’s safety.Once, there had been a hit and run caused by a drunken rich heir. Cameron had gotten the surveillance records and captured the man. Even though Hansel
Kayson told her, “Stop acting so spoiled and arrogant in the future, or it’ll come back to bite you sooner or later.”Luna breathed in relief. She knew that Kayson meant to put this in the past, so she emptied the drink right away.“Thank you, Mr. Yarde! I wouldn’t dare behave like that anymore!”After the grudge was resolved among the people present at the table, the meal went on happily.Luna was extremely nice to Elise and even called her grandma here and there. Elise did not treat her any differently either, as she had asked Tanner to come after all.Jaden looked at Kayson gratefully. He could obviously feel the difference in Luna’s attitude toward him.Luna came from a much better family compared to him and was usually acting like a spoiled heiress even around him.Kayson went to the energy-charged land alone after the meal and meditated there. He was at the pre-celestial level right now and could find a chance to get to the Smasher level. However, since he had managed to f
Kayson smiled and asked Thomas to drive. He went to retrieve two tonic herbs before going to Cameron’s place.Cameron, who had received a call from Thomas, did not go to work and waited at home.“Captain Oberden!” Thomas greeted him reverently the moment he entered.Kayson was greeted by a middle-aged man with a crew cut in a white short-sleeved t-shirt. He was more on the tanner side and he had a square face, giving off a virtuous and righteous vibe.Cameron’s smile revealed his exhaustion as he greeted them. “Welcome, welcome! It’s just a humble place. Don’t mind it.”As the three of them took a seat, Thomas introduced them and got them acquainted.“You’re Admiralporium’s special task force agent?”Cameron studied Kayson in surprise. “Someone who was able to become a special task force agent must have more abilities than others. Thomas mentioned that you can treat my son’s leg. Is it true, Mr. Yarde?”“Do you know anything about tonic herbs, Cameron?” Kayson asked.Cameron w
