"You know as well that this herb is quite rare. It's possible that there's no other booth in the entire venue offering this herb. That’s why it's relatively expensive. How about this? I'll give it to you for 5,000 dollars per pound..."

The herbalist did not actually understand the value of this herb because the herb truly had no discernible value in the market.

He started with 5,000 dollars, purely intending to negotiate the price with the other party.

Luca furrowed her brows.

Even though she did not know the value of the herb, 5,000 dollars per pound was already comparable to some ginseng varieties.

The herbalist saw Luca’s expression and prepared himself for the possibility of her disagreeing to purchase the herbs. He thought to himself that this was not a high-cost investment, maybe even zerocost. There was still room for negotiation.

What was important was that he could make money...

"Miss, this herb of mine..."

Before the herbalist could finish his sentence, Luca received a call from Abel.

Luca picked up her phone and shook her head at the herbalist. Then, she pointed at her phone, indicating that she needed to take the call.

The herbalist nodded and thought this was just a traditional negotiation tactic. Thus, he patiently waited.

Luca answered the phone. "Boss."

Abel’s excited voice came from the other end of the call. "You found one of the herbs? Have you confirmed it?"

"Yes, I've verified it. It's the herb Mr. Shanks is looking for," replied Luca.

"Okay. Awesome." Abel was excited. Before they came, Shanks mentioned he had seen these herbs in X City, but everyone thought they were of no value, so they hardly grew them.

Hence, this trip was just a shot in the dark.

Abel did not expect Luca to find one of the herbs so quickly. He was thrilled.
