Chapter 647 Greedy
“What happened to Ewan?” Zyaire asked in astonishment.
Eduardo explained, “The Sabine family has always been in the lumber business. A while ago, Ewan brought his men to the Black Blind Forest to get lumber, but they went missing for three days and three nights. Everyone went looking for them, but they only found Ewan. And he seemed to have lost his mind and had to rely on others to feed him food and water.”
“Black Blind Forest?” Zyaire couldn’t hide his shock. “Has Ewan gone crazy? I can’t believe he had the guts to chop wood in the Black Blind Forest. No one has been there for years!”
“It’s all because of money. The trees in the Black Blind Forest are tall and thick, so the Sabines grew greedy. Ewan brought his men there, but they all died save for him. He’s now a loony, but at least they discovered the decamillennium ginseng in the Black Blind Forest.”
Hearing that, Zyaire finally understood the situation. No wonder nobody discovered the decamillennium ginseng. There are many people who pick herbs and mushrooms in the northeast, so it’s impossible that no one discovered the ginseng. Turns out it’s in the Black Blind Forest.
Jared asked curiously, “What is this Black Blind Forest?”
“Mr. Chance, that’s a forest in the northeast. No one can enter it and come out alive. Gradually, a rumor claiming that a blind man had eaten everyone who went into the black and dark forest started. That was how it got the name, and no one dared to step foot in it ever since,” Zyaire explained patiently.
Eduardo was stunned to see his brother treat Jared politely and address the latter as “Mr. Chance.”
He had assumed that Jared, Tommy, and Phoenix were Zyaire’s subordinates who had followed Zyaire here. Clearly, he was wrong.
“Zyaire, who are they?” he asked.
“Oh, this is Mr. Chance. He came here for the decamillennium ginseng,” Zyaire replied.
“Zyaire, we could’ve bought the decamillennium ginseng for ourselves. Why did you bring someone along?” Eduardo shot Zyaire a displeased look.
He had informed Zyaire about the decamillennium ginseng so that they could buy it themselves. He didn’t know Zyaire would bring an outsider here.
“Shut up!” Zyaire glared at Eduardo. “Even if we bought the decamillennium ginseng, I would’ve gifted it to Mr. Chance.”
Eduardo looked Jared up and down. He realized that Jared was just an ordinary young man who looked completely unassuming. Clearly, Jared was not born into a rich family. He couldn’t understand why Zyaire would treat Jared with such respect.
Despite feeling indignant, he held his tongue.
“Mr. Chance, my little brother is greedy. Please don’t take it to heart,” Zyaire apologized with a smile.
“It’s fine,” came Jared’s answer as he flashed him a grin.
Soon, dinner was ready. Zyaire led Jared and the rest to the dining table before preparing their rooms for them to spend the night.
Jared rejected his offer, as he had no intention of staying at the Rider residence. He didn’t like sleeping at someone else’s house. Instead, he ordered Tommy to reserve rooms at a hotel before heading over.
After unpacking their stuff, Jared brought Tommy and Phoenix out to stroll around the county. Despite being a quiet county, it boasted magnificent views and fresh air.
Right when they were strolling around the county leisurely, back in the Rider residence, Eduardo summoned his son, Arturo Rider.
“Dad, why did you summon me?” Arturo asked in confusion.
Eduardo glanced at Zyaire’s room before asking in a low voice, “Remember the three people your Uncle Zyaire brought here? Do you know where they are staying?”
