Chapter 314 A Robbery
“He won’t, so stop fretting about it. Businesspeople don’t differentiate between friends and enemies, for
we only care about profit. I’m spending money to buy his herbs, and he’ll earn a profit from it. Why would
he say no to the deal? It isn’t easy to get a big client like me,” Jared responded with a calm smile.
He wasn’t bothered about the matter at all.
“T-Then are we still heading to Trinity Herbs?” Zeke asked carefully.
“Of course. We haven’t gotten the herbs yet. Let’s go!”
Jared gave a curt nod and entered his car to head to Trinity Herbs.
Meanwhile, Zyaire was smoking with anger back in Trinity Herbs.
“I can’t believe someone dares to offend me in Yeringham! How infuriating!” he declared as he smashed
his cup on the floor.
“Mr. Rider, should I get someone to get the snow lotus?” a young man asked.

The man was Zyaire’s trusted subordinate and had been working with Zyaire back when he was involved
in shady businesses in Yeringham. After Zyaire whitewashed himself, he kept the young man by his side.
Zyaire hesitated for a moment before frowning. “Remember to do the deed in a secluded place. Don’t let
anyone find out about it!”
He had gone to great deals to whitewash his reputation, so it would be bad if the matter were connected
to him.
Zyaire loved the snow lotus. He wasn’t planning to sell it out at an inflated price. In fact, he wanted to
make it his store’s most prized possession. His store’s current prized possession was a fake. That was
why Zyaire went to extreme lengths to bid for the snow lotus.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Rider. I know the drill.”
The young man gave him a nod and spun on his heel to leave.
At the sight of Jared, Zeke, and the like striding into the store, he immediately halted in his tracks.
Zyaire was surprised to see Jared in his store.
“Mr. Rider, I’m here to seal the deal. I need to keep my word as a businessperson. Since I offered to buy
your herbs, I won’t go back on my word!”
Jared flashed a smile at the sight of Zyaire’s shock.
“You’re a man of your word?” Zyaire scoffed. “After getting my snow lotus, I can’t believe you’re here in
my store. You don’t have respect for me at all!”
“Mr. Rider, why did you say that? I bought the snow lotus with my money. It isn’t yours in the first place,”
Jared responded with an innocent smile.
The man missing an ear declared icily, “Young man, stop putting up an act. If you give us the snow lotus,
we shall spare your life. You’ll get to leave Yeringham unscathed. Otherwise, you’ll perish here!”
Right after he said that, a dozen men ran over to block the exit. The doors rolled down slowly, trapping
them inside effectively.
Zeke, Frida, and the rest blanched in shock. Josephine promptly gripped Jared’s arm.

“Mr. Rider, we can talk things through. This—”
“Scram. This is none of your business!”
Zeke was about to patch things up, but Zyaire yelled at him, causing him to shut up awkwardly.
“Is this a robbery?” Jared inquired.
Unfazed by the threats, he was a sea of calm as he flashed a nonchalant smile.
“Young man, I can’t believe you’re still smiling right now. I admire you for your courage. Why don’t you
sell the snow lotus to me at three hundred million? I won’t let you suffer a lot of losses. How does that
sound?”
Fear rose in Zyaire’s heart when he realized Jared was unfazed. He was afraid that Jared had an
influential backer. After all, Jared was rich enough to pay a few hundred million for the snow lotus.
Thus, Zyaire decided to take a step back by offering to buy the snow lotus. That way, Jared would get an
out.
