A Man Like None Other

Jared recounted to Austin his experience in the western region of Norham.

He also revealed how Hank set up an arcane array in advance at the area where the ten-thousand-year-old herb would emerge.

Austin was filled with a deep sense of dread that settled like lead in the pit of his stomach, but that feeling was quickly replaced by a boiling rage that surged through his veins.

“How dare he? He knew exactly where the precious herb would materialize, yet he withheld this information from me and only provided me with a general location. Instead, he went there to set up an arcane array in advance! It appears that he, too, is intent on claiming the herb for himself. I can't believe I trusted him enough to give him so many resources!”

Austin's cheeks reddened in fury as he told Kayson, “Kayson, head into the city and hunt Hank down. After finding him, bring him to me. Remember, bring as many elites as possible as this man is extraordinarily strong!”

“Dad, don't worry. I've disliked that elderly man since the very beginning!” Kayson agreed readily.

not entirely confident will work, but it's worth a try. We can find a one-thousand-year-old herb and place it elsewhere before deliberately creating an anomaly. This will cause the others to incorrectly assume that this is the location where the ten-thousand-year-old herb will appear. They would rush there and even fight over it. As for us, we could position ourselves in the real location where the herb will appear and wait for it to show up. Once we get our hands on it, it would be extremely difficult for anyone else to
