The Man's Decree novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 Ginseng

“Mr. Sullivan, I heard you weren’t feeling well previously, so I purposely brought a thousand-year-old ginseng root from Yeringham. Such a herb is extremely scarce! I bought it at a high price from a farmer, and apparently, it can cure all diseases and prolong life!”

Upon saying that, Frederick took out an exquisite box wrapped in red cloth. It was even tied with a red cord.

“It is said that thousand-year-old ginseng contains spirituality. If we don’t wrap it with red cloth and tie it with red cord, it might run out of the box!” he explained while handing the box to William.

“Fred, that’s very kind of you.” William took the box delightfully. “How’s your dad doing recently? Is he busy? I’ve been meaning to pay him a visit, but I couldn’t find the time!”

“Mr. Sullivan, my dad has been quite busy recently. Have you heard of a businessman that wants to make investments in Horington? My dad has been accompanying him lately, but I’ve told him about your family’s land development in the west of the city. He has instructed his men to start processing the approvals!”

Halfway through his utterances, Frederick cast a glance at Jared.

I bet he knows about my identity now and will surely be intimidated!

William let out a laugh after hearing Frederick’s words. “Fred, thank you so much! If our land can be developed successfully, I won’t forget your help!”

“Mr. Sullivan, you’re welcome. We are a family, so there’s no need to be so polite with me!”

Frederick shot Jared a triumphant look as he emphasized the word “family.”

However, the latter did not even spare him a glance. In fact, there was not even a sign of surprise on his face.

Frederick was somehow startled to see Jared’s composure and thought he had yet to realize his identity.

Jared and Josephine burst into laughter upon hearing his words.

They could not believe Frederick thought the ginseng had spirituality and could escape, not to mention the insanely low price he paid for a thousand-year-old ginseng root.

After all, the hundred-year-old ginseng, reishi mushrooms, and other herbs prepared by Josephine were worth at least a few million. Even that single pill Jared made for William was worth over a million.

“Why are you guys laughing? Do you think I am lying?”

Frederick started to feel anxious.

Josephine tried hard to stifle her laughter as she asked, “Frederick, did you look inside the box when you bought it? Or did you just take it like that?”
