BXBX NOVEL Chapter 814: To Save Someone!
Ted was just a bodyguard of Ruby’s. He wasn’t a rich man.
At this moment, he was willing to take out a 500-year-old wild ginseng to repay Connor. He was just human.
At the very least, Ted was showing his human side, which meant that Ted was a grateful person.
On the other hand, Ruby stood there coldly. From this, one could see the difference between Ruby and Ted.
“Mr. Carlson, I have received your kind intentions. However, this medicinal ingredient is of no use to me. You should keep it for yourself…”
Seeing Ted’s polite attitude, Connor naturally wouldn’t disrespect Ted. However, he didn’t want the wild ginseng that Ted gave him.
“Mr. McDonald, I, Ted Carlson, have already remembered your kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, I’ll go through hell fire, even if I’d had to die…” Ted looked at Connor seriously.
“All right…” Connor nodded lightly, then ignored Ruby and sat quietly on the sofa.
Seeing Connor’s attitude, Ruby’s eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness. She took a deep breath and sat down opposite Connor.
Connor sized up Ruby and said expressionlessly, “Why are you here?”
Ruby calmed herself down and said, “Connor, I have come over this time to discuss purchasing the medicinal herbs from you…”
“You want to buy the herbs from me?” Connor could not help but smile faintly when he heard this.
“That’s right. Since the Precipice Cave’s medicinal herbs are all in your hands, I am prepared to pay to buy them from you. You can name the price. As long as it is within the range that our Yandell Family can afford, I will agree to it…”
Ruby’s thoughts were apparent, and her tone was neither servile nor overbearing. Her eyes were like torches, and it was obvious that she was trying to pressure Connor.
Connor sized Ruby up and asked, “Do you know who I am?”
“Mr. McDonald of Porthampton, Steven Lee’s heir!” Ruby had already investigated Connor’s true identity, so she answered directly.
“Since you know my true identity, do you think I’ll need more money? The Yandell Family’s money is nothing to me, so you may leave. I won’t sell a single herb to you!” Connor said.
After hearing Connor’s words, Ruby was stunned. She gritted her teeth and said, “Connor, I know you don’t lack money, but those herbs are very important to me. Why won’t you sell them to me?”
“What does it have to do with me? Besides, I don’t lack money, so I won’t sell them!” Connor replied expressionlessly, then turned to Ruby and asked, “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll take my leave…”
“You…” Ruby glared at Connor, her face filled with shame and anger.
“I remember Mr. Carlson once told me you can’t do whatever you want just because you have money. I know you’re rich, but no matter how rich you are, you can’t buy the herbs from me!”
After saying this, Connor stood up and was about to leave.
Ruby looked at Connor, leaving as a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
Ruby knew that she could do nothing if Connor didn’t want to sell it.
“Mr. McDonald, please wait!” But at this moment, Ted suddenly shouted after him.
After hearing Ted’s call, Connor turned and glanced at Ted, then asked expressionlessly, “Yes, Mr. Carlson?”
“Mr. McDonald, I know that what Ms. Yandell did to you before was inappropriate, but Mr. McDonald, can you sell the Red Sun Ginseng to us for my sake? The Red Sun Ginseng is important to us. I can agree to any condition if you sell it!” Ted looked at Connor and said seriously.
Connor couldn’t help but frown when he heard Ted’s words. With a puzzled expression, he asked, “Mr. Carlson, is this herb really that important to you?”
“This concerns a person’s life. It’s very important!” Ted nodded slightly.
Connor knew Ted wouldn’t lie to him, so he asked, “Mr. Carlson, aren’t you collecting so many herbs just to refine pills?”
“Mr. McDonald, it’s true that we’re collecting herbs to refine pills, but we’re not refining pills to make money, but to save people!” Ted replied in a low voice.
“Uncle Ted, forget it since Connor doesn’t want to sell it. We’ll think of another way!” Ruby suddenly stood up and shouted.
“Ms. Yandell, there’s no other way. Let’s tell Mr. McDonald the truth. I think Mr. McDonald is a good person. If Mr. McDonald knows the truth, he might change his mind…” Ted whispered.
“Is he a good person?” Ruby looked at Connor and sneered. Then, she said expressionlessly, “If he is a good person, then there are no bad people in this world…”
Connor was not in the mood to deal with Ruby. Instead, he looked at Ted and asked, “Mr. Carlson, what are you hiding?”
“Mr. McDonald, this is what happened. Half a year ago, Ms. Yandell’s father was poisoned by someone and is still in a coma. Moreover, his condition is getting worse by the day. We have also hired many famous doctors to treat him, but they could not find out what kind of poison Mr. Yandell was poisoned with. However, we have not announced this news to the public to prevent some people from taking advantage of the situation and plotting against him. The outsiders don’t know that most of the Yandell Family’s business is managed by Ms. Yandell. Mr. Yandell has been unconscious for more than half a year…” Ted looked at Connor and explained slowly.
“I see!” Connor nodded. He finally understood what was going on.
“Then, we found a miracle doctor who said that if we could refine the Soul Revival Pill, we might be able to cure Mr. Yandell’s illness. So, we found an alchemist master who said that the most important ingredient for the Soul Revival Pill was the Red Sun Ginseng,” Ted hurriedly added.
