Upon hearing this, Colt Kirby immediately replied, “Try to keep him there, I’ll bring some people over right away.”
“Yes, Mr. Kirby!” Rishi Sheppard responded promptly.
After hanging up the phone, Sheppard quietly awaited Ethan Smith’s arrival in his office.
Only a few minutes passed before Smith knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Rishi responded eagerly.
Ethan entered, immediately saying upon entry, “Good day, Mr. Sheppard, I was referred here by Miss Norton.”
Sheppard hurriedly got up from his desk and replied, “Oh, so you’re Ethan Smith? Please, have a seat.”
Meanwhile, Sheppard personally pulled out a chair for Ethan.
This politeness took Ethan by surprise.
He thought that it was because of Evelyn Norton’s competence that Sheppard treated him with such respect.
“Mr. Sheppard, I came here today seeking your assistance in a matter,” Ethan, not wanting to waste time, promptly expressed his intention.
After hearing Ethan out, Sheppard nodded and asked, “What can I assist you with?”
Ethan replied, “I would like to borrow six Grandmasters from you.”
“Six Grandmasters?” Sheppard pondered for a moment, not replying immediately.
Ethan continued, “Of course, I wouldn’t ask for your help for free.”
Having said that, he flipped his hand, and a Vitality Enhancing Pill appeared in his palm.
“This is a Vitality Enhancing Pill. It has significant benefits for cultivation, an Earth Rank Pill,” Ethan explained.
Upon hearing this, Sheppard’s eyes widened!
An Earth Rank Pill? Wasn’t that going a bit overboard with erudition?
An Earth Rank Pill was enough to cause quite a stir across half of Unchon!
“Mr. Smith, you really are overly kind!” Sheppard exclaimed while chuckling, quickly pocketing the pill.
Although he said so, Sheppard was incredibly greedy. The opportunity to take advantage of the situation was irresistible for him.
“Mr. Smith, as you may know, getting Grandmasters involved isn’t an easy task. Sometimes they don’t obey,” Sheppard responded ambiguously, hinting at something.
Ethan was no fool; it was clear to him what Sheppard was implying.
Therefore, Ethan stood up and said, “Mr. Sheppard, if you are willing to assist in arranging for people, I can give you a medicinal herb with effects lasting over five hundred years.”
Sheppard’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, “Really?”
“Absolutely,” Ethan affirmed.
Sheppard couldn’t help but lick his lips.
What a wealthy young man!
“Fine then, I’ll consider helping,” Sheppard said, blinking.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ethan took out a five-hundred-year-old medicinal herb and handed it to Sheppard.
Sheppard was extremely delighted. He quickly pocketed the herb and said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Smith!”
Ethan responded, “I should be thanking you.”
Although a five-century-old medicinal herb is precious, it pales in comparison to the life of Mike Taylor.
Sheppard couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
What a fool. I take advantage of you, and you even thank me!
“Mr. Sheppard, the matter is urgent, let’s not waste any more time,” Ethan urged to his side.
Sheppard’s expression slightly changed, and he quickly responded, “Ah, it’s not that I don’t want to loan them to you, it’s… they’re not back yet. I need to notify them.”
“Would you be so kind as to help, please,” Ethan asked, his tone filled with urgency.
“Alright, alright, just hold on a moment,” Sheppard replied.
Having said that, Sheppard left his office.
He reached for his phone and placed a call to Colt Kirby.
