The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 411 Stuffing Herbs Like No Tomorrow

Both Nixon and Gilbert were enticed by the century–old saffron within Caspian’s hands.

Its value as a medicinal herb was incomparable.

However much enticed they were, the both of them remained silent.

“What’s wrong? Are you both scared? I can’t believe that the head elder of the TMAA and the tenth elder of Shadow Gate are both too scared to make a bet with me!” said Caspian disdainfully as he dramatically shook his head.

Nixon and Gilbert then looked at each other for a moment before Nixon stepped forward. “In that case, Caspian, we’ll make a bet with you!”

Gilbert nodded his head with satisfaction.

He surmised that if he joined forces with Nixon, they would at least be able to fight Caspian to

a tie.

Both of them had to put on a show for their subordinates behind them, or they might lose – their respect.

Caspian’s offer had given them no choice but to accept the bet.

“Very well!” Caspian nodded. “Although I wonder, what is it are you wagering against me? If you can’t present something that matches my saffron in value, then forget it!”

Now that Caspian had presented the century–old saffron, the two of them had to put up something

nilar in value.

Nixon gritted his teeth as he brought out a century–old shining Cranesbill. “This herb that’s as ancient as your saffron will be enough of a match!”

He had sacrificed hundreds of his subordinates for this herb alone.

He had also consumed a part of it to heal his injuries.

Nixon had planned to consume the entire herb when he returned to safety to enhance his powers a little.

But Caspian was now forcing him to bring it out as a wager.

Caspian nodded and replied, “It’s missing a piece, but it’s similar enough in value.”

The crowd then turned their attention to Gilbert.

Gilbert didn’t try to pull any tricks and presented a century–old lily of the valley.

“My herb is of similar rarity and value to each of yours,” explained Gilbert.
