The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2345

Like ginseng roots, the value of the Bright Sky Herb was directly proportional to the percentage it was intact.

And as the root hairs were basically where the medicinal essence was concentrated, one less meant a major loss in medicinal effect, and with it, its grade.

Nonetheless, Mr. Quaker was smiling smugly. "I won't lie—they were affecting its aesthetic, so I trimmed it off!"

Frank was unsure if he should laugh or cry.

So he recognized the Bright Sky Herb but remained an amateur.

Trimming off those root hairs? Talk about being dumb!

Frank pointed at Zangi. "Why don't you ask him what happens if you trim the root hairs?"

Zangi scowled. "Mr. Quaker, it's the root hairs that decide the herb's value. You're just throwing away money."

Mr. Quaker frowned, clearly not expecting that.

Frank then said, "If you suspect that we're conspiring with each other, you could ask another specialist. Still, I will make it worth your while—five million for the herb. How about that?"

Zangi flinched in surprise and hurried to Frank's side, whispering into his ear, "Sir, you have to think this through. At that grade, that herb isn't even worth two mil!"

Frank nodded but said nothing—he was well aware, but the problem here was that the Bright Sky Herb was exceedingly hard to find. Who knew when he would come across another if he missed out on this one?

Moreover, retaining the medicinal value was more important to cultivators, but for treating an illness, this was actually enough.

"Alright, five million it is."

Mr. Quaker sighed in exasperation, but he had no choice—he had to take responsibility for his own stupidity.

Since it was late and wire transfer at this hour was not possible, Frank had Jada prepare five million in cash beforehand.
