The Herb King

68 Preparation for the Opening Day of the Clinic

“By the way, I also came here for another matter. Let’s sit down first so that we can talk about it.” Leric walked towards a nearby seat and sat down with Henry opposite him.

Henry stared at Leric with a smile as he waited for him to speak.

“It’s actually not a big matter. I heard from Samira that you also have a courier company under your name. I want to send something to Barden City. Can your company do it?” Leric looked at him with a calm gaze. He was planning to send a huge amount of money to his parents.

Looking at his serious expression, Henry patted his chest confidently. “Of course! Our courier company even has the ability to send items outside of the Leone Empire. Sending something to Barden City is just a piece of cake to us.”

Leric nodded his head as he took out a big box that he had prepared beforehand. Inside the box was a pouch with ten gold cards that were worth a hundred thousand gold coins! This sum of money was enough to upgrade his mom’s clinic and also to help his parents buy more resources. There were also ten purple jade boxes inside the box which contains one high-grade soap each! Other than that, there was also a letter that he had written to his parents. “This box contains many valuable things so I hope that you’ll take this matter seriously, Henry. I want this to be sent to Barden City’s Lassiter Household.” Leric muttered in a solemn tone.

Henry narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and he immediately nodded his head. “Don’t worry, Sir Aethelwolf. I will send a group of skilled couriers to deliver this box to the recipient.”

“Thanks and how much should I pay you for the courier service?” Leric flashed him a smile.

Henry chuckled and shook his head right away. “There’s no need for payment, Sir Aethelwolf. Since I’ve received your gift, let me return the gesture.”

Hearing this, Leric grinned. He took out something from his storage space and handed it to Henry as he said. “It’s a pleasure working with you, Henry.”

.....

“Likewise.” Henry laughed while keeping the small glass container that Leric has given him. He didn’t know what kind of pill that was, but since it comes from a Level 4 Alchemist, how could it be ordinary?

“I suggest you drink that pill once you go home, Henry. I’m sure you’ll be surprised.” Leric gave him a mysterious smile. What he gave him was one Awakening Pellet!

Henry might be a skilled merchant and a shrewd person, but he was only an ordinary man with no talent whatsoever in fighting.

“I’ll make sure to keep your words in mind, Sir Aethelwolf.” Not knowing what the pill was, Henry merely smiled at him. He then stood up and kept the big box inside his storage ring. “I shall take my leave now, Sir Aethelwolf. I still have to summon our best carriers to deliver your item.”

“Alright. Take care, Henry.” Leric smiled as he nodded his head.

Henry left the clinic with his subordinates soon afterward.

Leric went to where Samira, Skylar, and Kathlyn were chatting and handed a couple of price tags to them. He then told them where to put the price tags specifically. “This one is for the green jade boxes, and this one is...”

Samira and the other two happily complied with him, their eyes twinkling with unspeakable light.

Seeing them working so diligently, Leric knew what the girls wanted. They had seen Henry and his workers taking out the blue jade boxes from the display cases. The three of them knew that those boxes contained the items that Leric called ‘soap’. An item with similar effects to beauty pills!

“It looks like I don’t even need to pay them their wages anymore. Just one box of soap might be enough to pay them to work for me.” Leric mumbled to himself in amusement.

After putting everything in place, the three ladies walked together in front of Leric with shining gazes. They didn’t say anything and just silently looked at him with their big puppy eyes.

Seeing this, Leric shook his head with a wry smile. “There’s no need to give me this kind of look. I’ve already prepared my gifts for you guys. Each of you will get one box of each kind. Here, take them.” Leric handed them their soaps.

The ladies got three soaps each, one for every kind.

“Also, these are for Madam Antonette, Lord Harold, and Lord Julius.” Leric handed more soaps to Samira.

After getting their soaps, the three ladies smiled from ear to ear. They couldn’t wait to use the soaps for themselves and try out its efficiency. Their eyes were already gleaming with excitement.

“You can try using those soaps later. For now, you guys should familiarize yourselves with the products first. Since you want to work for me, you have to first learn what kind of items our clinic is selling.” Leric began telling them about the products and their uses. He also told them about the benefits of using the products.

The three ladies listened with great attention. They don’t want to miss any details since they were serious about working under Leric. The man was gallant and he wasn’t stingy. They would also have more opportunities to get more soaps from him...

If Leric knew what they were thinking, he would surely laugh in amusement.

After telling the ladies about the specifics of their products, they sat down to take a rest.

“The first day of the battle event should be done by now. I think that only a hundred participants are left to fight for the championship.” Samira said as she leaned on her chair. Her back felt a bit stiff after all the work that they did. She wasn’t used to these kinds of chores so her body was already complaining.

Leric nodded his head with a disinterested look on his face.
