The following day.

At noon, Jagoan arrived at the mid-level villa in Elys-Champ Hot Spring. Meanwhile, Zachary had arrived an hour earlier and patiently waited.

Upon seeing Jagoan, Zachary respectfully greeted him, “Master Wade, I am here to receive your instructions.”

Jagoan smiled faintly and inquired, “Zachary, did you bring the items I asked for?”

Zachary nodded eagerly, retrieved a handbag from the car, and informed Jagoan, “Master Wade, I have brought everything you requested!”

“Good…” Jagoan acknowledged, “Let’s go inside and discuss.”

As Zachary entered the villa’s living room, he couldn’t contain his excitement and promptly opened the suitcase, revealing several pieces of wood varying in size and thickness. However, they all had a deep black color, resembling charcoal.

As he retrieved the logs, Zachary provided an explanation to Jagoan, saying, “When you mentioned lightning wood, I scoured for reliable sources. However, most of the lightning wood sold in our market is counterfeit. Locals tend to snatch them all when buyers show interest in them, taking advantage of the lack of understanding regarding the natural occurrence of lightning striking trees. Nevertheless, I managed to find these pieces of lightning wood. Although their quality may not be the best and they are relatively young, I assure you that they are genuine and without any issues.”

Jagoan briefly examined the wood and nodded, affirming, “These are indeed lightning wood. Despite the slightly inferior quality, they suit my purpose perfectly.”
