“Why would I lie to you?” Jared asked.
“Oh, what a pity, what a pity.”
Flaxseed kept smacking his thigh and lamenting.
Alas, there was nothing he could do. Their consummation was consensual, after all.
“Why are you saying that? It's not like you need more women.”
Jared then dragged Flaxseed out of the hotel.
While the two were strolling the streets, Jared unleashed his spiritual sense and realized that there were plenty of combat masters around.
However, they were not hostile toward Jared; they were all doing their own things.
With a knit in his brows, Jared continued ambling down the street.
Meanwhile, in the Zagorski residence's hall, Austin was grimly sitting on the main seat as numerous executives of the Zagorski family sat further down the table.
“Mr. Zagorski, there are many unfamiliar faces who have appeared in Norham today. Moreover, they are all combat masters. Even the weakest of them all are Martial Arts Marquis. There are also many Greater Martial Arts Marquis within the crowd,” one of the executives reported to Austin.
“Do you know where they came from?” Austin asked.
“No, but some of them are from various sects and prestigious families around Norham. I'm not sure about the others,” the executive replied.
“A top-grade resource material like the ten-thousand-year herb can never be a secret, huh?”
“What's wrong with giving it to him if we can't get it? Moreover, we're not going to get our hands on the ten-thousand-year herb, so we're not actually giving it to him. If Jared has the capability of getting it, however, we'll be doing him a favor in helping him. We'll get into his good books. Doesn't that sound like a good idea?” Austin explained.
“But, Dad...”
Kayson was about to say something else, but he clamped his mouth shut when he saw Austin's glare. “Shut up. When will you grow a brain in that head of yours? You're such a short-sighted fool...”
Having been chided, Kayson no longer dared to utter anything else in protest. Thus, he turned and left to seek Jared.
On the other hand, Austin said to the executives, “Instruct all your men to look into the background and details of all the newcomers in Norham. I want to know how many are here for the ten-thousand-year herb.”
“Yes, sir!”
The executives left.

Why there are 5102 chapters and I can only see 5086? Thanks...
Truly an epic, could very well be a movie series just like the Lord of the Rings....
