“It isn't a waste. Hurry, take a seat!” Zeke brought Yasmin to her seat hastily.
Yasmin wiped her hands with a wet tissue and glanced at Jared. “How do you feel after spending half a day here? Have you realized how ridiculous your demand is? I can't believe you asked for herbs that are over a hundred years old. Do you think it’s that easy to get that? Though my cousin is rich, it doesn't mean you can spend her money freely!”
Hearing her words, both Zeke and Frida blanched in shock.
“Stop it!" Zeke glared at her before turning to Jared apologetically. “Jared, I'm really sorry. Yasmin didn't mean any harm.”
Yasmin glowered at him. “Zeke, have you gone nuts? How dare you yell at me? Did I say anything wrong?” she demanded.
“Stop it, Yas!”
Frida immediately tugged Yasmin aside. Zeke went after them.
They both took turns to talk to Yasmin in a low voice.
Yasmin's expression changed as she glanced at Jared a few times.
Soon, they returned to their seats. Yasmin seemed a little awkward.
A corner of Jared's mouth lifted as he broke the silence. “Let's eat!”
They began enjoying their lunch. Yasmin's hand trembled as she deliberately looked away from Jared and Tommy.
After lunch, Jared gave Zeke a list of herbs and told the latter to prepare the listed herbs.
That afternoon, Jared remained in his hotel room. He gathered the snow lotus and the herbs over one hundred years old he got from Trinity Herbs to craft the energy condensing pill.
Jared remained impassive as he glanced at the herbs worth hundreds of millions. After pulling the curtains close, he gathered some spiritual energy in his core and directed it to his fingertip to create a tiny blue flame.
“Go!”
Jared gave a wave, and the blue flame intensified before covering all the herbs on the ground.
