She could not help but turn to the middle-aged man and ask, “Uncle Timothy, how did you know we were going to the Precipice Cave?”

“Haha…”

The middle-aged man looked at Diana and smiled. He said softly, “Nine out of ten people who come to look for me, Timothy Jackman, are going to the Precipice Cave. You guys don’t have much interaction with me. If you suddenly come to my house to look for me, you must be going to the Precipice Cave…”

“That’s right. We want to go to the Precipice Cave. I wonder if you can lead the way for us…” Seeing Timothy’s straightforwardness, Connor didn’t waste any more time and went straight to the point.

Timothy looked at Connor indifferently and said, “Young man, if you want to go to the Precipice Cave, I advise you to consider it carefully. For so many years, the Precipice Cave has seen many dead bodies. Other than me, no one has come out alive, especially foreigners like you. I don’t know how many people have died there. Therefore, I advise you to give up on this idea. There’s no need to risk your lives for that little thing in the Precipice Cave…”

“You know the secret of the Precipice Cave?” Connor was stunned for a moment and asked Timothy.

“It is rumored that the Precipice Cave has an extremely precious medicinal herb. However, I don’t know if this rumor is true. Many people have died in the Precipice Cave because of this medicinal herb…” Timothy confirmed.

“Looks like there are indeed precious medicinal herbs in the Precipice Cave…” Connor nodded lightly.

“That place is perilous. You guys should not join in the fun…” Timothy whispered to Connor.

“What if I insist on going over to take a look?” Connor narrowed his eyes and asked Timothy.

“If you want to go, I can lead the way. However, I have to make things clear to you. I can only bring you to the entrance of the Precipice Cave. I will not follow you in….” Timothy said slowly.

“All right!” Connor nodded.

“There’s also a guide fee of one million dollars….” Timothy looked at Connor and continued.

“A million?”

After Diana heard this number, her mouth opened wide, and her expression was filled with incredulity.

She frowned and shouted, “Uncle Timothy, aren’t you asking for too much? We’re asking you to show us the way, not accompany us into the cave. You are asking for a million?”

“I earned this money with my life. Although I won’t accompany you, it doesn’t mean I won’t be in danger. Moreover, I’ve been paid this price for so many years. If you think it’s too expensive, find someone else to lead the way for you…” Timothy said firmly.

Diana looked at Timothy with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

After all, only Timothy knew where the Precipice Cave was in the entire Medicine Kings’ Valley. If Timothy didn’t lead the way, it would take Connor, Diana, and Carlos a long time to find the Precipice Cave.

“All right, one million it is. As long as you can lead us to the Precipice Cave…” Connor hesitated before nodding.

Although it was indeed a little expensive, this amount of money was nothing to Connor.

“All right, when are you guys going to leave?” Seeing that Connor had agreed, his attitude immediately changed. He asked Connor with a smile.

“Wait!” However, at this moment, a woman’s voice came from outside the courtyard.

When everyone heard that, they subconsciously turned to look at the door.

Ruby brought her bodyguards into the courtyard.

After Connor saw Ruby, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He could sense that Ruby was here for the Precipice Cave.

Ruby didn’t even look at Connor as she approached Timothy. She asked Timothy expressionlessly, “How much did these people give you now?”

“One million, what about it?” Timothy saw Ruby’s menacing look and hurriedly replied in a low voice.

“I’ll give you two million dollars. Take us there!” Ruby said to Timothy.

When Timothy heard Ruby’s words, he was stunned.

He subconsciously turned to look at Connor and the others, then whispered, “Everyone, I am sorry. Since this young lady’s bid is higher than yours, I will take them instead…”

Timothy was only leading the way for others to earn money. At this moment, Ruby was not someone to be trifled with. Moreover, Ruby’s offer was obviously higher. It was an extra million dollars. Timothy had no reason to reject it!

“I offer 2.1 million dollars!” Connor said to Timothy.

“What?” Hearing Connor’s words, Ruby couldn’t help but glare at him, then she gritted her teeth and shouted, “Are you deliberately going against me?”

“Are you deliberately going against me? Or am I deliberately going against you?” Connor asked expressionlessly, then continued, “We were the ones who came in first, and we’ve already agreed on the price. You were the one who suddenly came in and increased the price to snatch him from us.”

Connor had always disliked Ruby’s arrogant attitude, so he naturally wouldn’t be polite to her.

“I offer three million dollars!” Ruby stomped her feet in anger and shouted agitatedly.

“3.1 million!” Connor shouted indifferently.

“Four million…” Ruby had never been humiliated with money before. She had lost to Connor at the auction because of money.

Now, Connor wanted to use the money to humiliate her again. Naturally, Ruby was not going to let it go.

However, the middle-aged man beside Ruby put up his hand and stopped her. After that, he walked up to Connor and asked with a gentle expression, “How should I address you, young man?”

“Mr. McDonald!” Connor lightly replied.

“Ah, Mr. McDonald!” The middle-aged man smiled and continued, “Mr. McDonald, let me share a few words with you as a reminder…”

“…”

Connor looked at the middle-aged man and said nothing.

“In today’s society, you can’t do whatever you want just because you have money. Some things can’t be solved with money!” The middle-aged man chuckled.

Connor slowly looked up at the middle-aged man. He knew that the middle-aged man was threatening him.
