A Man Like None Other novel Chapter 1905

“I merely bought my men over to join in the fun!” Verner said with a faint smile.

“Verner, you just said that Jose isn't blowing his own trumpet. Could it be that the Danahers are truly turning their noses up on a ten-thousand-year herb?” Jared inquired.

Verner nodded. “That's right. As far as I know, their family is the least lacking in resources. They supposedly own a plot of rootless land capable of producing many rare medicinal herbs, so they have the most resources!”

“What exactly is a rootless land?” asked Jared.

Instead of clearing his confusion, Verner smiled awkwardly. “I don't know either. I merely heard about it!”

When Jared saw that Verner was also clueless, he did not press on but asked him instead, “Verner, how did you know about the emergence of this ten-thousand-year herb? Did you bring your men here to get your hands on it?”

At his question, Verner smiled. “I don't mean to brag, Mr. Chance, but a single plant of a ten-thousand-year herb isn't worth the trouble of me traveling a long distance with a group of people in tow. We actually have some other matters to attend to. It's just that we heard about this matter as we were passing by here, so we decided to take a look while we were at it.”

“Other matters? What exactly are they?” Jared asked curiously.

“Uh...”

Verner looked troubled.

As soon as Jared noticed it, he uttered, “You need not say it if it puts you on the spot, Verner. As long as you're not here to compete for the ten-thousand-year herb, then it's fine. Otherwise, I would've truly been at a loss!”

“Don't worry, Mr. Chance. Since you desire the herb, I won't try to get it. I can help you if you require my assistance,” Verner offered.

“I appreciate your kindness, Verner. I don't need it for now, but I'll let you know if I do!”

For the time being, Jared did not want Verner's assistance. Even though Wayne, the head of The Adamantine, told him that as long as he needed anything, the Gingerich family would provide it when he went to the Gunderson family estate, he still had no plans to let Verner help him just yet.
