: The Medicinal Herbs Are Sold Out!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Connor knew that it would cost a lot of money to gather all the medicinal materials needed for Jorge.
However, he never expected that it would cost at least five billion dollars to gather all these medicinal materials!
But unfortunately, Connor, Diana, and Carlos had already come here. If they were to leave like this, they would feel reluctant.
So Connor secretly cursed Jorge in his heart several times, then turned to Diana and asked, “Where are those medicinal materials located?”
After hearing his question, Diana took a quick look around and whispered, “Mr. Connor, there should be a medicinal herb shop ahead that I know of. It’s an old and reputable store that has been around for hundreds of years. Let’s go there!”
“Okay!”
He nodded lightly and followed her into the town.
At this moment, he was secretly glad that he agreed to let Diana come along. If it were just him and Carlos, they wouldn’t have any understanding of the situation in the Medicine King’s Valley. They would have been clueless about how long it would take to find all the medicinal materials if they went from one shop to another.
But with her present, Connor’s task became much easier.
Diana was very knowledgeable about the situation in the Medicine King’s Valley.
Soon, she led Connor and Carlos to a building that had a quaint appearance.
“Mr. Connor, this is the largest medicinal herb shop in the Medicine King’s Valley. Although the herbal market in the country is vast with high demand, the real market for medicinal herbs is monopolized by a few medicinal herb families. Mr. Connor, you also own several pharmaceutical companies, but this herb shop is owned by one of the oldest medicinal herb families in the country, with a history of over a thousand years. They have a wide variety of herbs inside…” Diana explained to Connor.
“Okay…”
Connor nodded lightly and walked into the herb shop with Diana.
When the staff in the shop saw Diana enter, they were momentarily stunned, then respectfully exclaimed, “Miss Diana, why have you come? Please come inside quickly…”
“No need, I came here today to buy some medicinal herbs. Go and call the shopkeeper for me!”
Diana replied casually, as if she was familiar with the staff in the shop.
“Alright, Miss Diana, please wait a moment!”
The staff nodded in response to Diana’s words and then turned to walk into the shop.
“Mr. Connor, let’s sit and wait over there for a moment,” she said to Connor.
“Okay…”
He nodded lightly and turned to sit at a table, while Diana and Carlos stood behind him.
When the staff saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. They quickly prepared some tea and respectfully poured a cup for Connor.
A few minutes later, footsteps could be heard.
An elderly man in suits walked up to Diana and spoke very respectfully, “Miss Diana, why didn’t you say hello to me when you came? If I had known you were coming, I would have been waiting at the door to greet you…”
“Mr. Webb, there’s no need to be so polite…”
Diana replied casually.
Connor looked somewhat surprised at Diana. He could tell from the way the old shopkeeper treated her that Diana indeed had some connections in the Medicine King’s Valley.
“Diana, what brings you here this time?”
Mr. Webb asked with a smile.
“I came here to accompany my boss to buy some medicinal herbs…”
Diana replied calmly.
“Your boss?”
After hearing Diana’s words, Mr. Webb couldn’t help but turn his head and cast a glance at Connor, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Because Diana held a high status in the Medicine King’s Valley, almost everyone in the major pharmacies knew her.
Back when Diana lived in the Medicine King’s Valley, she was known as the notorious ‘Little Witch’ and no one dared to offend her.
But now, Diana stood respectfully behind a young man, which proved just how powerful his background and identity were.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Therefore, Mr. Webb’s gaze towards Connor underwent a significant change.
After two seconds of silence, Mr. Webb respectfully asked Connor, “May I ask, sir, what medicinal materials do you need?”
Connor took out the list given to him by Jorge and placed it on the table, saying softly, “The medicinal materials I need are all listed on this note…”
“Alright, please wait a moment. Let me take a look!”
Mr. Webb responded respectfully and picked up the note from the table, examining it with a serious expression.
However, after a moment, his face dropped, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
“Mr. Webb?”
Diana noticed that something seemed off with the old man’s expression and called out with a frown.
“Miss Diana, the medicinal materials your young master needs have already been sold out in our pharmacy. Not to mention the precious ones that are over five hundred years old, we don’t even have any medicinal materials over a hundred years old…”
Mr. Webb responded to Diana with a tone of helplessness.
“How is that possible?”
Diana’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. After all, this pharmacy was one of the largest in the Medicine King’s Valley. Although she didn’t expect them to have all the required medicinal materials, she thought they would at least have one or two.
But she never expected that this pharmacy couldn’t even provide a single medicinal material over a hundred years old, let alone those over five hundred years old.
“Mr. Webb, you really don’t have a single medicinal material?”
After hesitating for a moment, Diana asked the old man softly.
“Miss Diana, if we really had them, I would definitely sell them to you. Moreover, considering your relationship with our pharmacy, I couldn’t possibly deceive you…”
Mr. Webb smiled and said.
After hearing his words, Diana’s expression showed a hint of helplessness. She then turned to Connor and said, “Mr. Connor, since they don’t have them here, let’s go to other places and take a look!”
“Okay!”
Connor nodded lightly and stood up, ready to leave.
“Miss Diana!”
But at that moment, Mr. Webb suddenly called out to Diana.
Diana turned her head and asked softly, “Mr. Webb, is there something else?”
“I don’t think you need to go to other pharmacies…”
Mr. Webb said slowly.
Connor and Diana were stunned upon hearing Mr. Webb’s words, their faces expressing confusion.
