Chapter 326: True and False_1
If they could obtain the Nine Revolutions Muscle Changing Pill, it would not only heal Fraser Simmons’s hidden injuries but might even allow his martial strength to advance further, breaking through to the Complete Dark Power was not a pipe dream.
For the past two years, the Simmons family had been looking to trade for one, but without the treasures they possessed before, they repeatedly came back empty-handed.
With the Fragrant Spirit Grass, trading for the Nine Revolutions Muscle Changing Pill was practically settled!
The Simmons family’s high-end combat strength was now limited to Donald Simmons, who was at the Initial Stage of Dark Energy, leading to their humiliation at the Spirits of the Festival over the past few years and a diminishing hold on resources.
With the triennial Spirits of the Festival about to convene again, if the Simmons family couldn’t present high-level fighters, they were at risk of falling to a second-rate clan.
As the current Family Head, Fraser Simmons was deeply worried about this.
That was exactly why, upon seeing the photo of the Fragrant Spirit Grass, Fraser Simmons was so excited.
He abruptly lifted his head, his face brimming with surprise as he looked at the two brothers, “Is this… what you found?”
Donald Simmons laughed and said, “It was found on the Locke family’s side, they sent the picture last night.”
“Good, very good…”
With the Fragrant Spirit Grass, they could exchange for the Nine Revolutions Muscle Changing Pill, and then his condition might finally have a chance of recovery.
Fraser Simmons was nearly moved to tears, nodding repeatedly and saying, “You’ve worked hard!”
“Uncle, we just ran some errands, what’s there to work hard at?” Donald Simmons laughed and said.
Mick Simmons followed, “Dad, just relax at home and wait, we’ll retrieve the Fragrant Spirit Grass shortly.”
“Good!”
Fraser Simmons said excitedly, “Be careful on the way, and make sure to bring back the Fragrant Spirit Grass.”
“Hmm.”
The two brothers replied in unison, bid farewell to Fraser Simmons, and set off together to the Locke family in Jamae.
After getting in the car, Donald Simmons hesitated, “Antonio, you don’t think the Locke family will make any more mistakes this time, do you?”
Mick Simmons casually laughed, “No, they definitely have the Fragrant Spirit Grass. Otherwise, where would the photo have come from?”
“Hmm, when you put it that way, it does make sense.”
Thinking that the Simmons family was about to regain its former glory, the brothers’ eyes were filled with anticipation. They exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.
The Locke family of Jamae.
Jeffrey Locke and the others had gathered in the study early in the morning, taking out the Fragrant Spirit Grass from the corner and placing it on the desk, waiting for the arrival of the Simmons brothers.
After chatting for a while, the father and sons ran out of topics and were left staring at the Fragrant Spirit Grass, big eyes gawking at small ones.
As he looked, Ethan Locke suddenly felt something was off, and said with confusion, “Grandfather, why do I feel like the Fragrant Spirit Grass looks different?”
“Changed how? Doesn’t it look fine?”
Jeffrey Locke looked at the Fragrant Spirit Grass, verified it was the same as before he went to sleep, and then reassured his grandson with a smile,
“You’re just too nervous. There’s no need for that. The Simmons family has already seen the photo and confirmed this Fragrant Spirit Grass is genuine.
They’re on their way here and will arrive soon. We’ll hand over the Fragrant Spirit Grass to them, and then our great mission will be accomplished!”
Hearing his grandfather say this, Ethan Locke assumed his memory was a bit off because he had just woken up, so he didn’t say anything more.
Joe Locke said with a smile, “Dad, once the Simmons family takes the Fragrant Spirit Grass, our Locke family can look forward to prospering.”
Jeffrey Locke nodded, his face glowing with joy, “Indeed, but we mustn’t become arrogant because of favor. In any case, the Simmons family won’t let us down.”
“Right, whatever arrangements the Simmons family makes, we’ll just follow through. At the very least, the supply rights for Westland Pharmaceuticals are sure to be granted to us, right?
The branch factory has signed an exclusive supply contract with Greg Jensen; the main factory hasn’t yet. I heard that the products of the main factory also come from Greg Jensen’s cultivation base.”
Thinking about how they were about to kick Greg Jensen’s cultivation out of Westland’s main factory, a hint of excitement appeared on Ethan Locke’s face.
He gritted his teeth and hissed, “This is merely the interest. Sooner or later, I’ll make Greg Jensen kneel before me and beg!”
Jeffrey Locke frowned at his grandson’s ferocity, but recalling how Greg had humiliated the Locke family, his expression returned to one of indifference.
He coldly said, “He’s just a country bumpkin, dealing with him is nothing. Since our family’s honor was lost because of that boy, then we shall take it back from him.”
Ethan Locke sneered, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. As long as there’s a chance, I’ll make sure he never recovers in this lifetime.”
“Good,”
Jeffrey Locke nodded approvingly and said, “The enemy should be trampled underfoot, so he won’t buzz around us like a fly all day.”
Just then, a knocking sound was heard, and the butler walked in with a joyful face, saying, “Master, the Simmons family’s people are here.”
Jeffrey Locke’s heart lifted and he quickly stood up, saying, “Quick, let’s go greet them!”
Ethan Locke smiled and said, “Grandpa, Dad and I will go greet them. You wait here, someone needs to keep an eye on the Fragrant Spirit Grass, right?”
“Right, Ethan is thoughtful.”
Jeffrey Locke nodded and responded, “Then I will wait here. You go and welcome Mr. Simmons, and remember to be polite.”
“You can count on me,”
Ethan Locke replied with a smile, then hurriedly followed Joe Locke out of the study to the first floor.
“Mr. Simmons, we are sorry for not meeting you sooner…”
Mick Simmons, seeing the father and son approaching, asked in surprise, “Where is your grandfather? Isn’t he here?”
Ethan Locke explained with a smile, “Grandpa is upstairs keeping an eye on the Fragrant Spirit Grass. He specifically asked me to welcome Mr. Simmons. Please don’t take offense.”
Close to obtaining the Fragrant Spirit Grass, Mick Simmons was in a good mood and joked with a laugh, “Ho, your grandfather is cautious indeed.”
Ethan Locke earnestly said, “How can we not be careful and serious about matters concerning the Simmons family?”
“Good,”
Mick Simmons smiled and nodded his approval.
Donald Simmons, standing beside him, also cast an admiring glance.
Ethan Locke felt a surge of happiness, unconsciously straightening his back. He then led the two men upstairs and into the study.
Jeffrey Locke was pacing by the door. Seeing Mick Simmons and his companion come in, he cracked a wide grin and said, “Mr. Simmons, you’ve arrived, please come in.”
“Hmm.”
Mick Simmons responded and, without the courtesy, walked eagerly into the study. His gaze immediately fell on the plant sitting on the desk.
Donald Simmons did the same, standing still, eyes fixed intently on that same plant.
At that moment, the expressions of both brothers hardened, their breathing grew rapid, and their eyes turned bloodshot, as if they were about to devour the plant.
However, the next second, the expressions on both their faces froze.
“This is…”
“Something is not right, is it?”
Jeffrey Locke followed and came over, hearing their words and subconsciously replying, “Yes, this is the Fragrant Spirit Grass.”
“This is the Fragrant Spirit Grass?”
Mick Simmons had seen the dried Fragrant Spirit Grass during an exchange event when he was younger, and the impression it left was profound.
He recognized at a glance that the Fragrant Spirit Grass in front of him was fake!
Donald Simmons, who was several years older, was slower to react but also sensed that something was amiss.
