Chapter 66
Dustin had no interest in wealth or riches. But at the moment, he had a pressing need for rare herbs. The old drunkard’s condition had gotten worse day by day. He might not even make it through the year. He needed to gather five types of rare herbs to be able to treat him.
“I am extremely fussy when it comes to herbs. Your collection might not necessarily be useful to me,” Dustin voiced out.
“I can get you whatever herb you need!” Duane guaranteed immediately.
“Do you have the Gozoraberry?” Dustin queried.
“Uh… no.” Duane shook his head.
“Flower of Crimson Gem?”
“I don’t have that either.”
“What about Cherusia?”
“Rhys, I’ve never even heard of these herbs you are naming.” Duane’s expression turned bitter.
“How about aged Panax root and ancient Heliotrope? I’m sure you’ve heard of those.” Dustin’s eyes narrowed.
“Yes, I’ve heard of those! I know those herbs!” Duane nodded. Those two herbs cost a king’s ransom, but at least he’s heard of them.
“And do you have them?” Dustin asked.
“I’m not sure about the ancient Heliotrope, but I can get you the aged Panax root. But it’ll take a few days.” Duane answered.
“Fine, then come back when you have them.” Dustin said with a wave of his hand.
“Oh, come on, Rhys! My chest is aching so badly! I can’t stand it anymore! Please help me first! I promise I’ll
send the Panax root in a few days!” Duane lost his cool.
Dustin kept quiet and turned to look at Natasha beside him. He did not trust Duane. What if he went back on
his word once Dustin cured him?
“Natasha, please, persuade him. You know I never go back on my word. I always make good on my promises!”
Duane begged.
“Of course, Uncle Duane. I know that you never go back on a promise. But I think we can do better than just at Panax root,” Natasha bargained.
“What’s this?”
The pill looked too much like a turd. A frown formed on Duane’s face. Did he lose close to a billion dollars just
for this?
“If you do not believe me, you can opt not to eat it.” Dustin did not pressure him to consume the pill.
“Of course I do!” Steeling himself, Duane swallowed the pill. He had to try it to know if it worked.
The pill dissolved very quickly, and soon Duane felt a warm feeling spreading over his body. As the warmth spread out, the pain in his chest began to dissipate. In mere minutes, the sharp, agonizing pain miraculously disappeared altogether.
“It actually worked?” Duane was pleasantly surprised.
He patted himself all over to make sure that he was really alright. Finally, he heaved a long breath of relief.
