Rich In a Brief
67

Zizi started to feel anxious. His grandfather fell ill, and according to Anna, someone had an item that could save his life.

...............................

Anna pouted and pointed at Luis, who was still gulping down his drink with a carefree heart while leaning on the shelf. "Yes. He's the one I'm talking about."

"You're sure he's the one who has that hundred-year-old ginseng?" zizi asked, he was still surprised by Anna's words.

Hundreds of years old ginseng is a rare and priceless commodity. Even if someone has the money to buy it, it is very difficult to find it.

In addition, not all ginseng gives the same effect, so finding the right ginseng is very difficult.

Anna nodded, her facial expression looking solemn. "Yes, I'm sure. He even said that a hundred-year-old ginseng was like a carrot to him."

"Did he really say that?" Zizi made sure once more and at that very moment she felt the corner of her lips twitch.

"Geez! How could he trust the words of that man so easily? I can also go around and tell people that we have 1,000-year-old ginseng growing like weeds in the yard, but who would believe me? I won't even be able to say it'" he thought inwardly.

Anna realized that the reason was not strong so she quickly explained, "I've asked someone to check it out! I'm sure he has a lot of ginseng. Otherwise, how could he possibly just give it to someone else."

"Ha-ha! That means I'm kind" Luis said. "Do you think everyone doesn't know how to thank you? You eat and drink with my money, but here's the payoff?"

"Hey! You mean what?" Anna shouted and her face looked red.

Luis' words made it sound as if he was taking advantage of the man, and it irritated him.

"When did I ever ask to buy food?" "Do you know how many people want to take me to dinner? Why should I ask you for such a thing?"

Luis pursed his lips. "Have you forgotten the day where I went out with Vina? I remember there was someone shameless who was very adamant about coming along."

"A-you ..."

"Hmm? Can't argue? I'm sure I really didn't want to treat you back then" he replied as he grabbed his phone and started playing the game "Hero Alliance". "So, when are you two leaving? I don't like to be disturbed while I'm playing games."

"Mr Nardo, if it's true that you have hundreds of years old ginseng, please consider selling it to me. I'm willing to pay whatever the price is" pinta Zizi.

He was willing to do anything for his grandfather, even if it meant that he had to submit to others.

As an adult, he rarely met his parents because of their busy lives. It was his grandfather who raised him alone. No matter how sick he was, he could not, and would not abandon him.

Luis grinned and threw a nosy look at him. "But I'm not short of money."

Anna leaned towards Zizi and whispered, "That's right. This guy is very rich. I wouldn't even be surprised if he was one of the very rich people in this country."

When Anna had eaten with Luis before, she had seen how rich she was, so she could buy the best Mirian restaurant in Malatam without batting an eye.

Zizi took a deep breath to calm down despite the many things weighing on his mind. For some people, money is nothing more than a bunch of numbers. After all, it was impossible to judge that hundred-year-old ginseng by a number of numbers, Zizi understood it very well.

Taking ginseng could save a person's life, but unfortunately, save that person's finances.

"Then, what do you want, Mr Nardo? Antiques? Precious stone?" he asked very grimly. "As long as it's within my means, I'll get it for you."

Luis felt his patience was running out. "Once again I reiterate, whatever you can get, I can too. So, ladies, I think you should leave now. Your presence will only affect my game."

The qualification round in the game was the most important to him, and he would not let anyone distract him from victory.

"Luis Nardo's! What exactly do you want?" snapped Anna, she started to feel angry that Luis did not respect her.

He did not understand why someone like Luis threw Zizi away and he left. They did not lack anything in terms of looks and they had even put aside their pride to beg of him. Why is he still acting cold?

"Let's go, Zizi. Jarvis just got some pretty good wild ginseng from Mount Falkariye. We're going to fly to Manmarnia to meet him" Anna said as she tried to entice Zizi to go with her.

"Luis Nardo, you better not be so arrogant! The world will not stop spinning without you!"

"I don't care about that, but I know that Jarvis's Falkariye Mountain ginseng is not good to use" Luis said.

Anna, who was about to step out of the house, suddenly stopped her steps. "How do you know about that?"

"Because I'm the one who sold him the ginseng."

He glanced at Anna and smirked. "At that time, I wanted to reward Jarvis, at first I wanted to give him an apartment. However, someone told me that he preferred to collect rare items, so I prepared some ginseng instead. In the end, he bought one of them, and I gave the other to Vina."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "The ginseng he bought should only be a little over 50 years old. So, that ginseng won't be of much use to you." Luis shrugged his shoulders.

"Mr Nardo, please, I need your help," Zizi pleaded. "You can get hundreds of years old ginseng whenever you want, but this is a matter of life and death for my grandfather. Will you help me save him? If you want to give her ginseng, I'm willing to do whatever you ask."

After hearing that, Luis' attention was immediately drawn to Zizi. He watched her from head to toe. "Well, okay .. I have to admit that he's very exciting," he thought to himself.

Zizi could feel Luis' arrogant and mischievous gaze exploring his body. By reflex, he clenched his hand.

"You must come alone tonight" said Luis and a sickly grin engraved on his lips.

Anna couldn't stand it anymore, she was already desperate to tear the man apart. "Luis Nardo, what does that mean?"

"Oh, do you also want to come, Miss Carter?" Luis teased. "The three of us could spend the night together. It's gonna be so much fun."

"I'll beat you up!" Anna yells and tries to hit him, but Zizi pulls the woman just in time.

Zizi looked Luis in the eye and cleared his throat. "All right, Mr. Nardo. I'll consider it."
