Chapter 660 Finally Awake
“Thank you, Mr. Chance. Thank you so much!” Ludovic expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Stieg walked toward Jared with a look of admiration and bowed. He had lost his prideful demeanor long ago.
“I didn’t know that you were a man of magecraft. I truly was blind. Please, Mr. Chance, don’t take what I said to heart.”
Jared only smiled and said nothing. He was surprised that Stieg actually knew magecraft.
“Ludovic, I’ve saved your father. Will you now show me the decamillennium ginseng?” Jared asked.
Ludovic looked troubled as he cast a glance at Frazier.
Frazier quickly said, “Mr. Chance, the decamillennium ginseng isn’t here…”
“I know it isn’t here. Where is it? Take me to it,” Jared said.
“I-I-It’s…” Frazier mumbled hesitantly, unable to string together a proper sentence.
“Are you going to tell me that you don’t have the decamillennium ginseng? Are you going to tell me that you’ve been lying to me?” Jared questioned.
His question made Frazier leap in shock. He hastily waved his hands and said, “No, no, no. How could we possibly have the courage to lie to you, Mr. Chance? We do have the decamillennium ginseng, but we didn’t harvest it. It’s still in the Black Blind Forest. Mr. Chance, I’m sure you know that extracting ginseng requires skill and experience. Breaking any part of the ginseng will greatly lower its value. That’s why we didn’t dare to get it out.”
That was something Jared knew. Ginseng was not something any random person could extract, for they might accidentally ruin it. The Sabine family was not involved in the field of ginseng cultivation, so it was reasonable that they did not dare to harvest it.
“Well then, lead me to it.”
Jared did not know how to get it out either, but if it really was a decamillennium ginseng, he could cultivate beside the ginseng and extract its spiritual energy instead. That way, he would not need to mull over how he should harvest it.
Hearing that, Frazier anxiously waved his hands. “Mr. Chance, we wouldn’t dare to go. My brother ended up like this because he had gone to the Black Blind Forest. There were over dozens of others, but Ewan was the only one who came back.”
“What happened to them in the Black Blind Forest?”
Jared knew that ghosts would not usually possess anyone and hurt them, let alone follow them all the way home. After all, normal houses in the living world had many people living in them. The positive energy was much stronger, and that would make it a place ghosts hated frequenting. However, that ghost earlier had followed Ewan home and even said that it was going to kill the Sabines. Clearly, there was something else at work.
“I… I’m not very sure myself. We’ll have to ask Ewan about it.”
Frazier did not know what exactly had happened in the Black Blind Forest either.
Just then, Ewan let out a long exhale before opening his eyes.
“Dad! Dad, you’re finally awake!”
“Darling, you’re finally awake!”
Ludovic and his mother launched themselves at him.
Ewan looked at them, confused. “Where am I? What happened?” he asked with a frown, still not knowing what had happened to him.
Ludovic told him everything. When Ewan heard that he had been possessed, he was instantly soaked in a cold sweat.
“Ewan, Mr. Chance was the one who saved you. If not for him, the Sabine family would have been doomed,” Frazier quickly told his brother.
“Yes, yes. Hurry and say your thanks to Mr. Chance. What happened earlier nearly scared the hell out of me!” Ewan’s wife added.
“Thank you for saving me, Mr. Chance,” Ewan said as he rose to his feet.
Although he was surprised by how young Jared looked, he did not let the shock show on his face.
“Don’t mention it, Mr. Sabine. However, I’d like to know what happened to you all in the Black Blind Forest,” Jared inquired.
