The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1905

Chapter 1905 Confident

“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.

“If you need anything, Mr. Chance, just call! I'm going over to say hello...”

With that, Verner walked over and greeted Marcelo and Jose.

There were many prestigious families and expert martial artists present at that moment. Everyone grew nervous at the sudden appearance of several prominent families that had recently made themselves known in the martial arts world, not to mention they were each accompanied by numerous experts.

Some decided to back out and slipped away quietly. Although the wonder herb was tempting, the precondition was that they had to be alive to enjoy it.

What good is it to desire that ten-thousand-year herb if we die as a consequence of obtaining it?

Time went by. The moon hung high in the sky, shining its moonlight on the forest and making it seem even more sacred.

Austin arrived with the most elite members of the Zagorski family. Whether it was a Greater Martial Arts Marquis or Martial Arts Marquis, they all came pouring in.

However, when Austin arrived with his men, he panicked at the sight of the members of various prestigious families before him.

Thank goodness I withdrew my men in advance and chose to cooperate with Jared. If I'd forcibly sealed off this place just because it's my territory and obtained the ten-thousand-year herb alone, I reckon the elites of my family would've become corpses by now. If that happens, the Zagorski family will become the common enemy of these people before me. My family isn't strong enough to repel attacks from so many prestigious families!

“Mr. Chance!” Austin greeted Jared as he approached the latter.

“Is everything ready, Mr. Zagorski?” Jared asked.

Austin replied, “Everything is ready, but the moment is approaching. If the ten-thousand-year herb truly emerges, there'll surely be unusual phenomena. I'm afraid we can't hide it from them!”

“Don't worry. I've made improvements to the arcane array set up by Hank, so it can suppress the ten-thousand-year herb. When the time comes, as long as these people are attracted to other places, even if the ten-thousand-year herb caused unusual phenomena, those people won't be able to head over in time!” Jared said confidently.
