    Chapter 155


    The next morning, Dustin was awakened by someone knocking on his door. He opened the door to see


    Hunter at his door.


    “Mr. Anderson, what brings you here so early in the morning?” Dustin yawned.


    “Good news, Mr. Rhys!” Hunter eximed with excitement. “The rare herb that you’re looking


    for, the Gozoraberry, I know where we can find it!”


    “Gozoraberry? Are you sure?” Dustin’s interest was piqued.


    The Gozoraberry was rare


    and hard toe by. As with all other rare herbs, it was invaluable. If he could get his hands on the Go


    zoraberry, then he would only need three more precious herbs to make the Longevitum!


    “Of course, I’m sure! The Gozoraberry used to be a treasure from Stoneray Valley, but recently, someo


    ne bought it at an exorbitant price. And that person happens to be staying at Fallridge Haven!” Hunter n


    odded.


    “Oh? Who is it?” Dustin raised a brow.


    “It’s Caden Murray!” Hunter said.


    “Caden Murray? What does he need the Gozoraberry for?” Dustin’s eyes narrowed. He had never met


    Caden, but he used to have some connections with the Murrays.


    “I heard that his daughter has some sort of disease, and he needs the Gozoraberry to cure her of that.”


    “His daughter… Is it She Murray?”


    “Oh, you know Miss Murray?” Hunter was a little surprised.


    “I guess so. I just met her yesterday.” Dustin nodded.


    “Mr. Rhys, how do you think we should go about this?” Hunter inquired.


    “I absolutely need to get my hands on the Gozoraberry. I guess we have no choice but to make a trip to


    Fallridge Haven today!” Without any time to waste, Dustin got himself ready and got into Hunter’s car.


    The Gozoraberry was very important to him, and those precious herbs were usually hard


    toe by. If this berry passed him by, he knew he would nevere across another.


    Hence, he had to act on it right then and there.


    30 minutester, Dustin found himself in a lounge in Fallridge Haven.


    Caden Murray was seated in the middle of the lounge, and he looked down his nose at Dustin and Hun


    ter. As he had long been in a position of power, he carried an intangible air of authority about


    him. Even a person like Hunter, who had been through a lot, could not help feeling


    a sense of inferiority.


    The Murrays were a family with a military background. Caden’s father, Christopher Murray, was a gener


    al who had fought in numerous battles and had a myriad of meritorious achievements.


    As his first–born son, Caden was also a high–


    ranking military officer who was of great influence in the army.


    “Mr. Anderson, what is the purpose of your visit today?” Caden asked.


    “Mr. Caden, to be honest, we are here for the Gozoraberry.” Hunter did not beat around the bush.


    “The Gozoraberry? Mr. Anderson, seems like you are very well–


    informed on the matter. But I have a use for the Gozoraberry, so I’m afraid I can’t help you.” Caden lifte


    d his gaze.


    “If you are nning to use the Gozoraberry to cure your daughter of the disease, I think that it would no


    t be

    necessary, as the Gozoraberry is merely a temporary remedy that will notpletely cure her of it. It w


    ould


    not be of much help,” Dustin stated bluntly.


    “What? And who might you be? It’s not your turn to speak here.” Caden glowered at him.


    “Mr. Murray, this is


    Dustin Rhys, he’s a friend of mine. He saved your daughter yesterday,” Hunter hurriedly


    exined.


    “Oh, so you were the one who helped She yesterday?” Caden’s expression eased up.


    “Name it, what are you asking for aspensation? Money? Or goods?” In his eyes, Dustin was clearl


    y here to


    ask for something in return.


    Of course, the Murrays‘ had money to spare, so he wasn’t very bothered by it.


    “I want the Gozoraberry.” Dustin cut straight to the chase.


    Caden made a face


    when he heard that. “Young man, if it were riches or jewelry that you were asking for, I


    would agree to it in a heartbeat, but the Gozoraberry is the one thing that I cannot give you. I need it to


    cure. my daughter of a disease!”


    “I just told you that the Gozoraberry would not be able to cure She of her disease. However, I am abl


    e to do


    just that,” Dustin promised.


    “You can cure her? And why should I trust you?” Dustin was starting to get on Caden’s nerves.


    This rascal did not know his ce. Did he think he could do as he pleased, just because he had saved


    his daughter once?


    “Has your daughter been suffering from chills ever since she was young, and does she get a terrible bo


    ut of


    viral infection every month or so?”


    “So what if she does?” Caden raised his brows.


    “That’s because She has Prfrost. Over the years, a venom called Havaska has formed within her


    body,


    and the venom can only be temporarily suppressed by medication. However, that will not eradicate the


    disease from within her. To do so, we will need to take a


    different approach by improving her cirction and


    thus raising her metabolism,” Dustin expounded.


    “Hah! Utter rubbish! Prfrost? That sounds downright


    ridiculous, and I’ve never even heard of it before!” Caden roared, upset.


    “It doesn’t matter that you’ve never heard of It before. Just let me meet She and I can prove my point


    ,” Dustin requested.


    “That would not be necessary. I can handle my daughter’s situation myself. I do not need any help. Ple


    ase,


    show yourself out!” Caden ordered.


    Wasn’t it just in absurd for a random fellow


    to just show up out of nowhere and im that he was able to cure his daughter of a disease that had pl


    agued her for over 20 years?


    And what’s more, it was a disease that even the top medical experts in the nation were helpless agains


    t. What made this young man think that he would be able to eradicate it?


    “Mr. Murray, it would not do She any good to wait any longer. I hope you will consider


    my proposition,”


    Dustin reminded him.


    “Get out!” Caden mmed his fist on the table, enraged.


    “Since you do not trust me, Mr. Murray, then I’ll be taking my leave. Right, I have a pill with me here. Yo


    u can give this to She when the virus attacks again. It will keep her safe for the time being.” And with


    that, Dustin


    took out a red pill and ced it on the table before he turned to leave.


    He knew that no matter what he said, he would not be able to change Caden’s mind, because it was


    impossible for a person of his status to easily trust someone whom he knew nothing about.


    “Mr. Murray, Mr. Rhys here is not an ordinary person. I wish you all the best.” With a slight


    nod of his head,


    Hunter turned to leave too.


    “Hmph! They have no idea what they’re rambling on about!” Caden’s expression was one of disdain.


    How dare an insolent young man run his mouth in front of him? How pompous!


    “Caden, who were those two gentlemen?” Lily Doyle walked out from behind.


    “Nobody. Just two annoying rascals who are not worth our time,” Caden answered offhandedly.


    “Can this pill really cure She of the disease?” Lily picked up the red pill from the table and studied it


    meticulously. She heard what Dustin had said before he left and couldn’t help feeling curious.


    “Hah! That’s rubbish. Just throw it away.” Caden dismissed it with a wave of his hand. He refused to bel


    ieve


    that a single pill would be able to save anyone.


    Just as they were conversing, a member of the


    house staff came running in and eximed in a fluster, “Sir,


    Ma’am,e quick! It’s Miss She! She just passed out!”
