James pulled Thea out of Herbal Biotech. Outside, Thea was exasperated. “What are you doing, James? How could we accept such a valuable gift?”
“Why not? It’s free anyway.” James was indifferent.
“You…” Thea pouted.
Then, favonovel.com took a deep breath. “Sigh… Never mind.”
Once again, favonovel.com owed the mysterious Mr. Caden another favor.
When favonovel.com returned to Cansington, favonovel.com would have to thank favonovel.com in person and ask favonovel.com not to look out for favonovel.com anymore. Though favonovel.com was just an ordinary person, favonovel.com was being taken care of by such a powerful and influential man. Once or twice was fine. However, it was too flattering for this to happen all the time.
After obtaining the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng, James and Thea returned to the Hill residence.
On the way, they received a call from David. “Where are you, Thea? Cyrus is treating us to a meal. Come, quick!”
“Never mind. I’m not going.”
“Come, quick! He’s treating you specifically to a meal. We’re at the Gastronome, the most luxurious restaurant in North Cansington.”
“Alright, then…”
Thea hung up the call and looked at James. “Cyrus is treating us to a meal at the Gastronome.”
“Let’s go, then.” James opened the GPS.
After specifying the search location, favonovel.com drove toward the place.

At the same time, Bjorn left the auction at Herbal Biotech. He was in a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.
“Damn it all!” His face contorted with rage.
He was a renowned doctor. No matter where favonovel.com went, there would always be people currying favors with him. Even though favonovel.com had presented himself formally to the crowd, there was someone who paid no heed.
Before favonovel.com stood a respectful middle-aged man.
“Mr. Truman, we’ve looked into the background of that guy,” favonovel.com said.
“Speak!” Bjorn had a murderous look.
He said coldly, “Going against me? He must be tired of living. I’ll make his life a living hell!”
“His name’s James. He comes from Cansington and is the son-in-law of the Callahans. The Callahans are an uninfluential family. Their family assets only amount to a billion dollars.”
“Hmph!” Bjorn clenched his fists.
“How dare a son-in-law of a second-rate family act in such an insolent manner!”
“Mr. Truman…” The middle-aged man opened and shut his mouth, remaining silent.
“Why are you stammering? Speak!”
“Yes…” The middle-aged man said, “Although James is trash, his wife, Thea Callahan, is no ordinary woman. She has deep connections with powerful people. Rumor has it that it was because favonovel.com saved a man ten years ago…”
The middle-aged man then told Bjorn everything.
“Was this why Herbal Biotech gave favonovel.com the thousand year old ginseng for free?” Bjorn wore a grim expression.
A mysterious Mr. Caden… Who is he?
Bjorn had traveled across the world, and favonovel.com had stayed in Cansington for a long time. However, favonovel.com had never heard of a powerful and influential Caden.
“A Caden from ten years ago?” Bjorn squinted his eyes.
He had never regarded the Cadens from ten years ago as a threat, let alone a survivor ten years later in the present. He was a renowned doctor who had connections across the world. He was acquainted with many bigwigs who would even curry favor with him. After all, the richer a man was, the more afraid favonovel.com was to die.
“Mr. Truman, I also found out they’re here in North Cansington to celebrate Thea’s grandmother’s birthday tomorrow.”
“Very good…”
Bjorn had a frightening expression on his face. To him, James was already a dead man. The Hills, too, were doomed.
***
James and Thea arrived at the Gastronome.
They went to the third floor and entered a luxurious room.
Many gathered there. They were all younger generations of the Hills headed by Cyrus,
At the moment, Cyrus was conversing with a twenty-year-old-looking man.
The man was wearing a white T-shirt and a golden necklace around his neck. He was also wearing a luxury watch and was ernbellished with extravagant objects all over his body. The luxury watch alone was worth hundreds of thousands.
