Jared recounted to Austin his experience in the western region of Norham.
He also revealed how Hank set up an arcane array in advance at the area where the ten-thousand-year-old herb would emerge.
Austin was filled with a deep sense of dread that settled like lead in the pit of his stomach, but that feeling was quickly replaced by a boiling rage that surged through his veins.
“How dare he? He knew exactly where the precious herb would materialize, yet he withheld this information from me and only provided me with a general location. Instead, he went there to set up an arcane array in advance! It appears that he, too, is intent on claiming the herb for himself. I can't believe I trusted him enough to give him so many resources!”
Austin's cheeks reddened in fury as he told Kayson, “Kayson, head into the city and hunt Hank down. After finding him, bring him to me. Remember, bring as many elites as possible as this man is extraordinarily strong!”
“Dad, don't worry. I've disliked that elderly man since the very beginning!” Kayson agreed readily.
He then left with two Greater Martial Arts Marquises in tow.
Norham was under the Zagorski family's rule, so it wasn't difficult for them to hunt someone down.
After Kayson left, Austin turned to Jared. “Mr. Chance, how confident are you in obtaining the herb with the assistance of the Zagorski family?”
Jared pondered over it before answering, “I'm afraid I can't answer that with any certainty. There are simply too many sects and prestigious families in this area, each of them having its own Greater Martial Arts Marquises. It's impossible for me to provide an accurate answer.”
Uncertain of the extent of his opponents' capabilities and therefore the probability of success, Jared voiced his plan for victory, “I believe I have a strategy that could give us the edge. If it works, we could end up with the herb in our possession.”
Austin urged, “What is it, Mr. Chance?'
