The Resurgence Of The War King Chapter 30
"How true is this?""The celebrity herbalist of Glacia City is here tonight?""Is this really Edmund Ash?""I'm the luckiest person alive today. I have tried my best to meet the great healer, but all my efforts were to no avail."The crowd continued to express their shock as the cold-looking man and his entourage walked towards the front row.In a moment, they all settled into a vacant row of seats, occupying the space as if it had been reserved for them.Despite the celebrity herbalist and his entourage settling down, the hall was still somewhat disordered. This was because most of the spectators had their attention glued to the cold-looking man.This piqued Roderick's interest as he wondered why the hall had become restless since his arrival. Then, he calmly asked his lieutenant, who was sitting next to him,"What do you know about the man?"A soft smile appeared on Tony's face before he responded, "My lord, Edmund Ash is the most popular herbalist in all of Glacia City, mostly know
The Resurgence Of The War King Chapter 31
Not only was Edmund staring coldly at Roderick, but his entourage was included as well.The reading on their faces said nothing but that they wished they could grab Roderick by the neck right away and teach him a lesson."Master Ash, please give the order. This kid looks so ripe for some punishment," one of Edmund's entourage said in rage.However, the celebrity herbalist had something else in mind. A smug smile appeared on his face as he responded to his boys, "I think the kid is longing for attention. Let's see how long he can survive competing with me."Roderick didn't even look fazed or bothered by their stares. Instead, he was waiting for what they had planned next.The crowd was already gossiping about how Roderick was endangering his life by competing with the celebrity herbalist.Edmund turned his smug face away from Roderick and continued the bid."Ten million dollars!"Roderick's voice followed next."Fifteen million dollars."The crowd's faces were wide in shock. They wonde

The crowd was still in doubt about Roderick's purchasing power, given how ordinarily he was dressed. Furthermore, because of his ridiculous increase in bidding, they felt it was all a bluff.However, since he would be making payment for the item now, they couldn't wait to mock him after his payment was declined.Edmund Ash and his entourage's attention was on Roderick, too. They were all waiting for him to be gravely embarrassed.Just then, the auctioneer's assistant came over to Roderick with a wireless credit card machine."Mr. Holmes, you can make your payment for the Dragon's Breath root now," he said calmly.Roderick nodded slowly and then signaled Tony to make the payment.The lieutenant bowed slightly to his boss and then brought out a sleek black card, which caught everyone's attention.Their eyes widened in shock, leaving them confused about what comment to make. Even though most of them had no idea about anything concerning the card, they couldn't understand why they felt it
The Resurgence Of The War King Chapter 33
Roderick's calm response made Edmund feel skeptical about his view of the young man.Taking a second thought about it, he concluded that Roderick was only trying to save face from embarrassment in public with his response.Then, Edmund said to him with a smug expression, "There's nothing wrong with accepting defeat. Knowing your place now would only save you from deeper embarrassment."However, Roderick didn't say a thing in reply as he didn't even have the time to prove his worth to them.The crowd misunderstood his silence as acceptance of defeat, which was why he never bothered to argue with Edmund."This is the best you can do for yourself. Competing with Master Ash is like sending yourself to an early grave.""I commend you for being reasonable enough to back down after realizing Master Ash is way beyond your league."Edmund's entourage was making continuous mocking comments at Roderick, but his gaze remained bland as everything they were saying had nothing to do with him.As the

The crowd was trying hard to fathom if Roderick understood what forty million dollars was.They believed that if he did, he wouldn't mention it so casually.Spending a whopping forty million dollars on a rare root is beyond what can be discussed.While they were all in the midst of this shock, their gaze shifted to Edmund Ash. They were all waiting to see what his next move would be.Meanwhile, the celebrity herbalist's head was buzzing with anger as he stared at Roderick. He couldn't understand why the fool was usually interested in everything he bids for.Aside from needing the rare root, the respect and honor surrounding him in the hall earlier meant a lot to him.He just couldn't lose to Roderick again this time.Then, he said to Roderick with a smug smile, "Kid, are you sure you’re ready for this?"Roderick scoffed and replied nonchalantly, "Is that question really meant for me? I think you’re supposed to ask yourself that."The crowd's faces widened in surprise. They couldn't un
The Resurgence Of The War King Chapter 35
The celebrity herbalist mocked Roderick and called him broke after he acquired the Astragalus root without anyone competing with him, which made him think highly of himself.This time around, the War King fooled him by making absurdly high bids against him until he spent a staggering sum of fifty million dollars on a highly toxic rare root.The fact that Edmund was only concerned about public validation made him so blind that he failed to notice he had just wasted millions.The crowd was still engaged in private discussions about how Edmund spent such a huge amount of money on a rare root without batting an eyelid.In the end, they all concluded that the celebrity herbalist knew more about the usefulness of the rare roots that were unknown to them for splurging such a breathtaking amount on it.At that moment, Edmund was in his seat, feeling like a king as his entourage and the crowd showered praises on him.From that point on, he managed to secure a prominent position in the hall abo

After the auctioneer presented the Regal Stone before the crowd, Roderick secretly took his time to delve into his inner knowledge to find out about the stone's usefulness.Realizing what it was worth, he instantly went for it.Since the auction was now over, the crowd began to leave the hall one after another.Tony was walking closely behind his boss as they headed to the parking lot.Upon reaching their car, the Dragon's Breath root was safely stowed away.Roderick was about to get into the car when he heard contemptuous laughter nearby.The War King never cared about it, and he was about to enter his car when he heard a voice ask, "Isn't it surprising that an ant like you was sent to challenge me?"Instantly, Roderick paused as the voice was very familiar. Raising his head, he was surprised to see Edmund Ash and his entourage approaching.Roderick wondered what the man wanted and what he meant by his words."Would you willingly tell me who sent you, or do you want me to teach you s

They were all extremely dumbfounded as they stared at the stone in Roderick's hand.Edmund began to wonder how it happened that it was only Roderick who was able to know that the stone was precious. Given how old and faded the stone was, no one could ever think that it was a sunstone.He was so sure of this due to the price tag attached to the stone by the auctioneer.Also, the auctioneer only referred to the item as a Regal Stone to give it some honor. Little did he know that it was the expensive sunstone.Edmund was very sure that the auctioneer never had an idea of the value he sold off for a penny.If he had known that it was a sunstone, he would never have sold it for such an amount.This time, Edmund was blaming the auctioneer inwardly for being ignorant of the item he brought up for sale. He had been in search of the rare stone for a very long time.This made the celebrity herbalist regret not purchasing the stone, even though the auctioneer personally offered it to him.The mo

The next day, Roderick was in his room at the House of Majesty when he saw a message pop up on his phone.He hadn't paid attention to his phone since last night. Then, he slowly picked up the phone and gazed at the screen. He was surprised to see that it was a message from Kate."Good morning, Mr. Holmes. I found out that you left the dinner party early last night and went to an exclusive medicinal plant auction. Possibly, you might need more rare roots. I have a source that can be of help."Reading this message, Roderick's interest was instantly piqued. He couldn't think of anything else at that moment but how to reach the source Kate was talking about.After getting the Dragon's Breath root last night, he had been thinking about where to find the rest of the items he needed.It had never crossed his mind that Kate could have a source to help him out. This was because he thought the aged calestrus he received from the lady previously was an item kept by Bolton's forefathers, given ho
