Chapter 732: Chapter 732 Just a Roadside Weed
Upon hearing Guy Noble’s voice, I hurriedly came down from upstairs.
I apologized slightly, "Mr. Noble, I’m really sorry. Someone came to cause trouble and accidentally damaged your stuff."
After finishing speaking, I took out a bank card and handed it to Guy Noble.
"Mr. Noble, this is your compensation," I said.
However, Guy Noble waved his hand and said, "Never mind, it’s alright if it’s broken, no need to stand on formalities."
I wanted to say something else, but Guy suddenly asked, "You said someone came to cause trouble? Who? Don’t they know this house is mine?"
"Probably not." I shrugged.
Guy Noble grumbled, "If I catch him, I’ll definitely make him pay!"
After saying that, Guy Noble had another set of keys taken out by his follower.
"You can live here. That house is empty anyway," said Mr. Noble.
I waved my hand, saying, "No need, we are comfortable living here."
Guy Noble said, "Alright then, I just came over to see how you guys were getting on."
After saying that sentence, Guy Noble planned on leaving.
At that moment, I suddenly blocked Guy Noble’s way.
I was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Noble, there’s something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Noble asked.
I spoke solemnly, "Have you heard the news that a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb will be revealed soon nearby?"
"The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb?" Guy Noble raised an eyebrow.
"Are you here for this?"
I nodded, "Yes, this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb is very important to me."
Guy Noble’s eyes narrowed slightly, he walked over and sat down on the sofa, then he asked, "Why are you trying to inform me? In Downton City, no one can snatch anything that the Noble Family has their eyes on."
I thought for a moment, then said, "Even if I wanted to hide it, I probably couldn’t."
"More importantly, Mr. Noble is such an influential figure, I wouldn’t be able to compete even if I wanted to."
The last sentence made Guy Noble smile.
He smirked and said, "Of course! You’re smart for understanding this!"
I couldn’t help but laugh inside.
This Guy Noble, he really can’t resist flattery.
"I actually don’t involve myself in these things, it’s all managed by the family." Guy Noble said as he touched his chin.
"Regarding this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb, my father must already know about it."
At these words, my eyebrows furrowed.
If the Noble Family had already set their sights on this herb, did I still have an opportunity?
"But I can try negotiating with my father," Guy Noble then said quietly.
"Wait for my message. If there’s a chance, I’ll take you to meet my father."
I nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Noble."
Guy Noble waved his hand, and then left in high spirits.
When evening came, Guy Noble called me.
"Mason Raymond, my father has agreed to meet you. I’ll send someone to pick you up later," said Guy Noble.
I agreed, "Alright."
After hanging up the phone, I went to the door and waited quietly.
About ten minutes later.
A Rolls-Royce slowly drove up.
As soon as the car stopped, the follower quickly opened the car door for me and respectfully said, "Mr. Raymond, please get in the car."
After getting into the car, we headed to the Noble Family’s residence.
On the way, I couldn’t help but look out the window at the scenery.
No doubt, the scene of Downton City was very beautiful and enticing.
After about an hour’s drive, we arrived at a manor.
The manor was built luxuriously and covered a frightening amount of land.
Whenever I looked, there was evidence of human intervention, even the trees were carefully pruned.
The interior of the villa, on the other hand, looked somewhat different, with visible gold everywhere.
Clearly, a lot of gold was spent on this manor, which seemed out of place with the rest of Downton City.
The car stopped at the entrance of a villa.
The follower opened the car door for me and politely said, "Mr. Raymond, young master is waiting for you inside."
I nodded. When I entered the villa, I saw Guy Noble sipping tea.
"Mr. Noble," I greeted as I approached.
Guy Noble stood up and said, "Come, my father is waiting for you."
I followed behind Guy Noble to a tea room.
Soon, we arrived at the entrance of a tea room.
The tea room was also built luxuriously, not only was it covered in gold, but it was also inlaid with diamonds.
I touched my chin, having a general idea about the character of Guy Noble’s father.
Guy Noble led me into the tea room. As soon as we entered, a surge of opulence hit us in the face.
At the end of the tea room sat a middle-aged man.
This man was Guy Noble’s father, Pat Noble.
"Dad, Mason Raymond is here," said Guy Noble as he walked up.
Pat Noble lifted his eyelids and said casually, "Sit down."
I bowed and said, "Mr. Noble, good to make your acquaintance."
Pat Noble didn’t say a word as he continued brewing tea.
"Guy, you step out for a minute," said Pat Noble a while later, waving his hand.
Guy Noble stood up and said, "Alright, dad, you two chat."
Pat Noble remained silent until Guy Noble left. Finally, he lifted his head.
He looked at me and said indifferently, "So, you are Mason Raymond?"
I thought in my heart, "Isn’t this obvious..."
"I heard you stirred up quite a ruckus in Capital City by yourself?" Pat Noble continued.
I smiled and said, "Mr. Noble, that’s overstating it. I was just causing a minor stir."
Pat Noble grunted lightly, then remarked, "In my eyes, it indeed was trivial. In Downton City, no aristocratic family is worth mentioning."
Upon hearing Pat Noble’s words, I had a basic understanding of his disposition.
"I heard you are looking to take a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb from my Noble Family?" Finally, Pat Noble brought up the main point.
I nodded, "Yes. Although this herb hasn’t yet revealed itself, since it is growing in Downton City, it belongs to the Noble Family."
"So acquiring this herb requires Mr. Noble’s permission," I said with a smile.
Upon hearing my flattery, a satisfied expression flashed across Pat Noble’s face.
Although it was fleeting, I still managed to catch it.
"Even though you know it belongs to my Noble Family, you still dare to covet it?" Pat Noble asked as he put down his teapot.
I sighed, "This Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb is crucial to me. Comparing it to the Noble Family, it’s as significant as a roadside weed."
"Who doesn’t know the position of the Noble Family in Downton City? Who doesn’t know the Noble Family is wealthy enough to rival a nation? Who doesn’t know that the Noble Family is dominant with the largest resources in the world?"
"To me, this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb is a rare treasure. But for the Noble Family, it is just a weed. Since it’s a weed, I thought Mr. Noble wouldn’t mind, which is why I dared to ask."
After hearing my flattery, Pat Noble’s satisfied deadpan expression could hardly be hidden anymore.
Although he tried hard to suppress his smug smile, in the end, he couldn’t help but smirk quite delightedly.
