An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 735

"You—" Preston cut off, his face red with anger. However, even Miranda was forced to stay silent.

"Well, they do that say heroes come in all ages." Linden stood up and beamed.

He added, "Congratulations on beating everyone else. So, tell me your wish. As long as it's within my power, I'll try my best to get it done!"

Most people joined the competition to join Stoneray Order, but some would request and ask Linden for rare gems, ancient medical texts, panaceas, and more.

"You're as generous as rumors say. Well, I'll be straightforward. I'm actually here for your thousand-year green lotus," Dustin answered frankly.

"Thousand-year green lotus? It's a rare herb. I must say, you're quite ambitious." Linden raised an eyebrow.

"Why? You can't give it to me?" Dustin wore a fake smile.

"It might be a valuable herb, but I don't mind giving it to you." Linden chuckled. "Bring me the herb!"

"Yes, sir!" The invigilator left quickly and returned, holding a wooden box.

The box opened to reveal a perfect, translucent green lotus with green leaves and a yellow pod. Light shone on the herb, making it dazzle.

"That's the green lotus!" Dustin was overjoyed.

Before this, he hadn't bought it because it wasn't mature enough. But thanks to Linden's care, the green lotus had truly transformed into a rare, prime thousand-year green lotus.

"Wait!" Miranda suddenly called out. "Dr. Watkins, could you mind letting me have it? I'm willing to pay any amount!"

"If you had asked earlier, you might have had a chance. Unfortunately, it belongs to this young man now. It is his now, and he decides what to do with it," Linden answered.
