A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 55 Prize Catch of Ivory Dragon River

A middle–aged man sat cross–legged in the tent, holding a teacup in his hand as he glanced at Kane, Kane’s men had also set up tents that were even larger than the ones opposite them. They had also connected some tubes to enable the air conditioning from the cars to enter the tents.

After getting into the tent, Kane brewed some concentrated tea, then smiled as he said, “Mr. Barrett, the guy opposite us is Landry himself. Even though he doesn’t know martial arts, he’s good at plotting, and he has gathered a group of prominent figures.

William glanced at the middle–aged man, after which he calmly replied, “Did you just say that he doesn’t know any martial arts?”

Kane w

stunned. “Yeah, what’s wrong? Did you find something, Mr. Barrett?”

William said calmly. “This man is not only a cultivator, but he’s also quite strong as well. He’s probably in the microcosmic orbit.”

Kane narrowed his eyes. “That b*stard! How did he hide this?!”

Meanwhile, Landry was also observing William and asked the person next to him, “Who is that man?” The person beside him took a glance before responding, “Mr. Landry, that man is a total stranger. I’ve never seen him before. According to our intel, this isn’t the fishing expert Kane had invited.”

Landry said calmly, “Investigate him.”

“Yes, sir!”

An hour passed by quickly enough. Landry and Kane walked out of their tents at the same time.

Kane chuckled. “Landry, shall we begin?”

Landry smiled. “We’ll begin when you say the word, Kane.”

The two behaved amicably as if this bet wasn’t important to them and they didn’t mind it at all.

The person who had been standing at the delta was now retrieving a fishing rod from the side. With a light fling, the fishing line flew out dozens of yards away and fell into the center of the river.

He had prepared for this beforehand. He took a seat, then stayed completely motionless.

William, too, picked up his fishing rod and stood a distance away. He held the fishing rod with his left hand, then dipped the tip of the fishing rod into the water.

When Landry saw that, he was so stunned that he asked, “Kane, is this considered fishing at all?”
