Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys

Chapter 95

“Duane, let’s not beat around the bush, shall we?” Dustin sipped his tea

and said, “You said you’ve found the Panax root. Where is it?”

“Since you’re so anxious, I won’t tease you any longer.” Duane smiled and clapped his hands.

A bodyguard entered the room carrying a wooden box. Placing the box on the table between him and D

ustin, Duane opened it slowly. A dark yellow root no bigger than a palm sat inside. It was a Panax root

with

unusually long roots.

*This really is good stuff!” Dustin exclaimed upon examining the root closely. He looked delighted.

A 500–year–

old Panax root was an extremely rare treasure! Now that he had another herb, he was another

step closer to his goal!

“How is it, Dustin? Are you satisfied?” Duane smiled expectantly.

“Of course, I’m satisfied. Thank you so much.” Dustin smiled, reaching out to take the root.

Suddenly, the lid of the box snapped shut.

“Dustin, what’s the hurry? Let’s talk more,” Duane asserted. One hand remained wrapped around the b

ox. Evidently, he was not planning on giving its contents to Dustin that easily.

“Duane, what’s this about?” Dustin narrowed his eyes.

“I’m very interested in your Gemiphen formula. Can you sell it to me?‘ Duane smiled faintly.

“Duane, this wasn’t what we agreed on. As per our agreement, I cure your ailment, and you give me a

500–year -old Panax root in return,” Dustin reminded him.

“Are you sure you remember correctly? Yes, you cured me, but I gave you the Hillview Hotel in return.

As for the Panax root, you’ll have to exchange it for your Gemiphen formula!”

“You

sound like you want to go back on your word,” Dustin warned, his expression gradually growing colder.

He had thought that Duane had come to give him the Panax root, but to his surprise, Duane had been

eyeing his Gemiphen formula all along.

“Dustin, don’t put it that way. We just want mutual benefits. If you’re unsatisfied, I can give you another

thirty million in cash!” Duane stuck out three fingers.

“I’ve said this before. My Gemiphen formula is not for sale. You can only give me herbs in exchange for

it,”

stressed Dustin.

“Haha… am I not doing an exchange with you right now?” Duane hinted, tapping on the box between th

em.

“Duane, if people find out you’re not a man of your word, won’t you become a laughing stock?” Dustin’s

expression was as cold as ice.

If he negotiated politely, Dustin didn’t mind selling him two packets of Gemiphen. However, Duane’s wa

y of obtaining the formula was foolish.

*So what if people find out? Who would believe you?” Duane challenged. His nervous smile did not rea

ch his

eyes.

The Gemiphen formula was priceless. If he could get his hands on it, he could take over the entire And

erson

family!

“Duane, for Ms. Harmon’s sake, I won’t burn bridges between us. So now, you’d

best give me the Panax root.”

Dustin said calmly, suppressing his anger.

“And what if I don’t?” Duane retorted.

“Then don’t blame me for snatching it away.” Dustin was very blunt.

“Snatch? Haha. If you can take this box from me, I’ll let you have it for free!” Duane laughed. He had tra

ined

in martial arts for years and had long since reached the highest level of mastery. How dare an amateur

like

Dustin snatch something out of the hands of a master like him?

“Okay! You said it yourself!” Dustin wasted no time and reached for the wooden box.

Duane was fully prepared. His hand bent into a claw and grabbed Dustin’s forcefully. The

battle had begun.
