Chapter 155

The next morning, Dustin was awakened by someone knocking on his door. He

opened the door to see Hunter at his door.

"Mr. Anderson, what brings you here so early in the morning?" Dustin yawn

ed.

"Good news, Mr. Rhys!" Hunter exclaimed with

excitement. "The rare herb that you're looking

for, the Gozoraberry, I know where we can find it!"

"Gozoraberry? Are you sure?" Dustin's interest was piqued.

The Gozoraberry was rare

and hard to come by. As with all other rare herbs, it was invaluable. If

he could get his hands on the Gozoraberry, then he would only need three

more precious herbs to make the Longevitum!

"Of course, I'm sure! The Gozoraberry used to be a treasure from Stoneray

Valley, but recently, someone bought it at an exorbitant price. And that

person happens to be staying at Fallridge Haven!" Hunter nodded.

"Oh? Who is it?" Dustin raised a brow.

"It's Caden Murray!" Hunter said.

"Caden Murray? What does he need the Gozoraberry for?" Dustin's eyes narr

owed. He had never met Caden, but he used to have some connections with t

he Murrays.

"I heard that his daughter has some sort of disease, and he needs the Goz

oraberry to cure her of that."

"His daughter… Is it Sheila Murray?"

"Oh, you know Miss Murray?" Hunter was a little surprised.

"I guess so. I just met her yesterday." Dustin nodded.

"Mr. Rhys, how do you think we should go about this?" Hunter inquired.

"I absolutely need to get my hands on the Gozoraberry. I guess we have no

choice but to make a trip to Fallridge

Haven today!" Without any time to waste, Dustin got himself ready and got

into Hunter's car.

The Gozoraberry was very important to him, and those precious herbs

were usually hard

to come by. If this berry passed him by, he knew he would never come acro

ss another.

Hence, he had to act on it right then and there.

30 minutes later, Dustin found himself in a lounge in Fallridge Haven.

Caden Murray was seated in the middle of the lounge, and he looked down h

is nose at Dustin and Hunter. As he had long been in a position of

power, he carried an intangible air of authority about

him. Even a person like Hunter, who had been through a lot, could

not help feeling a sense of inferiority.

The Murrays were a family with a military background. Caden's father, Chr

istopher Murray, was a general who had fought in numerous battles and had

a myriad of meritorious achievements.

As his first–born son, Caden was also a high–

ranking military officer who was of great influence in the army.

Chapter 155

"Mr. Anderson, what is the purpose of your visit today?" Caden asked.

"Mr. Caden, to be

honest, we are here for the Gozoraberry." Hunter did not beat around the

bush.

"The Gozoraberry? Mr. Anderson, seems like you are very well–

informed on the matter. But I have a use for the Gozoraberry, so I'm afra

id I can't help you." Caden lifted his gaze.

"If you are planning to use the Gozoraberry to cure your daughter of the

disease, I think that it would not be

necessary, as the Gozoraberry is merely a temporary remedy that will not

completely cure her of it. It would

not be of much help," Dustin stated bluntly.

"What? And who might you be? It's not your turn to speak here." Caden glo

wered at him.

"Mr. Murray, this is

Dustin Rhys, he's a friend of mine. He saved your daughter yesterday," Hu

nter hurriedly

explained.

"Oh, so you were the one

who helped Sheila yesterday?" Caden's expression eased up.

"Name it, what are you asking for as compensation? Money? Or goods?" In h

is eyes, Dustin was clearly here to

ask for something in return.

Of course, the Murrays' had money to spare, so he wasn't very bothered by

it.

"I want the Gozoraberry." Dustin cut straight to the chase.

Caden made a face

when he heard that. "Young man, if it were riches or jewelry that you wer

e asking for, I

would agree to it in a heartbeat, but the Gozoraberry is the one thing th

at I cannot give you. I need it to cure. my daughter of a disease!"

"I just told you that the Gozoraberry would not be able to cure Sheila of

her disease. However, I am able to do

just that," Dustin promised.

"You can cure her? And why should I trust you?" Dustin

was starting to get on Caden's nerves.

This rascal did not know his place. Did he think he could do as he please

d, just because he had saved his daughter once?

"Has your daughter been suffering from chills ever since she was young, a

nd does she get a terrible bout of

viral infection every month or so?"

"So what if she does?" Caden raised his brows.

"That's because Sheila has Polarfrost. Over the years, a venom called Hav

aska has formed within her body,

and the venom can only be temporarily suppressed

by medication. However, that will not eradicate the

disease from within her. To do so, we will need to take a

different approach by improving her circulation and

thus raising her metabolism," Dustin expounded.

"Hah! Utter rubbish! Polarfrost? That sounds downright

ridiculous, and I've never even heard of it before!" Caden roared, upset.

"It doesn't matter that you've never heard of It before. Just let me meet

Shella and I can prove my point," Dustin requested.

"That would not be necessary. I can handle my daughter's situation myself

. I do not need any help. Please,

show yourself out!" Caden ordered.

Wasn't it just plain absurd for a random fellow

to just show up out of nowhere and claim that he was able to cure his dau

ghter of a disease that had plagued her for over 20 years?

And what's more, it was a disease that even the top medical experts in th

e nation were helpless against. What made this young man think that he wo

uld be able to eradicate it?

"Mr. Murray, it would not do Sheila any good

to wait any longer. I hope you will consider my proposition,"

Dustin reminded him.

"Get out!" Caden slammed his fist on the table, enraged.

"Since you do not trust me, Mr. Murray, then I'll be taking my leave. Rig

ht, I have a pill with me here. You can give this to Sheila when the viru

s attacks again. It will keep her safe for the time being." And with that

, Dustin

took out a red pill and placed it on the table before he turned to leave.

He knew that no matter what he said, he would not be able to change Caden

's mind, because it was

impossible for a person of his status to easily trust someone

whom he knew nothing about.

"Mr.

Murray, Mr. Rhys here is not an ordinary person. I wish you all the best.

" With a slight nod of his head,

Hunter turned to leave too.

"Hmph! They have

no idea what they're rambling on about!" Caden's expression was one of di

sdain.

How dare an insolent young man run his mouth in front of him? How pompous

!

"Caden, who were those two gentlemen?" Lily Doyle walked out from behind.

"Nobody. Just two annoying rascals who are not worth our time," Caden ans

wered offhandedly.

"Can this pill really cure Sheila of the disease?" Lily picked up the red

pill from the table and studied it meticulously. She heard what Dustin h

ad said before he left and couldn't help feeling curious.

"Hah! That's rubbish. Just throw it away." Caden dismissed it with a wave

of his hand. He refused to believe

that a single pill would be able to save anyone.

Just as they were conversing, a member of the

house staff came running in and exclaimed in a fluster, "Sir,

Ma'am, come quick! It's Miss Sheila! She just passed out!"
