Chapter 334
Sebastian yawned and said, "I'm tired. Please take me to the guest room to rest." To ensure his safety, he needed to avoid Elena.
Benjamin initially planned to introduce Sebastian to Merlin and the others. But since Sebastian needed to rest, he had to let it go.
In the living room, Benjamin greeted his guests, "Mr. Spark, Mr. Hyde, Mrs. Spark, what brings you here?" Benjamin asked curiously.
Elena smiled and replied, "We received information that Sebastian might be in Divinopolis."
"Is the information reliable?" Benjamin asked in surprise.
"Someone saw him in person, so it should be accurate. He's injured, which makes this the perfect opportunity to end him. This is your family's territory. Can you find him within three days?" Elena asked.
"I won't speak for elsewhere. But in Divinopolis, I can root him out even if he hides in a mouse hole," Benjamin boasted confidently.
"Great. We'll be waiting for your good news," Elena said.
Benjamin looked at them and smiled. "I have a favor to ask of you all."
"What is it?" Elena asked.
"You know my son was crippled. Recently, we found a healer who can cure him. But we need two rare herbs. I was hoping you could help us acquire them. The price is negotiable," Benjamin explained.
He was confident. Their family might not match Novastar Organization or the Dragonheart in terms of martial strength, but their wealth surpassed both.
"What herbs do you need?" Merlin asked.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Century-old dragon root and century-old white herb."
Nelson said, "The Dragonheart has the century-old white herb. How much are you willing to pay, Mr. Lloyd?"
Upon hearing that, Benjamin became excited and said, "I'm willing to pay five billion dollars."
While the century-old white herb was rare, five billion was not a small amount.
However, Nelson sneered, "Mr. Lloyd, you don't seem sincere at all."
"Name your price then, Mr. Hyde," Benjamin said.
"Twenty billion dollars," Nelson demanded an exorbitant price.
Benjamin's expression darkened. The herb's highest value was around ten billion, but Nelson wanted 20 billion. Nelson was clearly extorting him. Yet, he had no choice but to agree to cure Travis.
At this moment, Merlin said, "Novastar Organization has a century-old dragon root. It was originally reserved for my cultivation. But since you need it, I'm willing to part with it."
"Really? That's wonderful." Benjamin was overjoyed. He had been unsure when he could find the necessary herbs. Now, both were within reach.
"Although we're partners, business is business. How much are you willing to pay for it?" Merlin asked directly.
"Twenty billion dollars. How about that?" Benjamin cautiously suggested.
At the recent auction at Phaedra Island, a century-old dragon root was sold for 20 billion dollars. It was the highest recorded price.
However, Merlin showed disdain. "Mr. Lloyd, it seems that you're not sincere enough. Dragon root is more valuable than white herb."
"How much do you want for it, Mr. Spark?" Benjamin asked.
"We're old friends. So, I'll give you a friendly price of 40 billion dollars," Merlin said with a smile.
