Chapter 153: The Old Grandmaster!_1

Ethan Smith remained silent; he knew nothing about Ashton Nicholson.

Moreover, making friends wasn't something that could be explained in a few sentences.

Ashton Nicholson seemed to notice Ethan's thoughts and quickly shifted the topic, "Mr. Smith, are you here on vacation? I know this area well. How about I show you around?"

Ethan glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Alright, I'll trouble you then."

After that, Ashton led Ethan on a tour of the nearby area, introducing almost every stall in the vicinity.

Unfortunately, none of it was what Ethan was looking for.

"Is there no stand selling herbs around here?" Ethan asked.

Ashton froze briefly, then smiled and said, "Oh, there are, but most of the herbs here are just scams aimed at those wealthy big shots."

"In other words, the herbs here are mostly fake, passed off as genuine to deceive rich outsiders who wouldn't know good from bad anyway."
