Upon hearing this, Colt Kirby immediately replied, “Try to keep him there, I’ll bring some people over right away.”

“Yes, Mr. Kirby!” Rishi Sheppard responded promptly.

After hanging up the phone, Sheppard quietly awaited Ethan Smith’s arrival in his office.

Only a few minutes passed before Smith knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Rishi responded eagerly.

Ethan entered, immediately saying upon entry, “Good day, Mr. Sheppard, I was referred here by Miss Norton.”

Sheppard hurriedly got up from his desk and replied, “Oh, so you’re Ethan Smith? Please, have a seat.”

Meanwhile, Sheppard personally pulled out a chair for Ethan.

This politeness took Ethan by surprise.

He thought that it was because of Evelyn Norton’s competence that Sheppard treated him with such respect.

“Mr. Sheppard, I came here today seeking your assistance in a matter,” Ethan, not wanting to waste time, promptly expressed his intention.

After hearing Ethan out, Sheppard nodded and asked, “What can I assist you with?”

Ethan replied, “I would like to borrow six Grandmasters from you.”

“Six Grandmasters?” Sheppard pondered for a moment, not replying immediately.

Ethan continued, “Of course, I wouldn’t ask for your help for free.”

Having said that, he flipped his hand, and a Vitality Enhancing Pill appeared in his palm.

“This is a Vitality Enhancing Pill. It has significant benefits for cultivation, an Earth Rank Pill,” Ethan explained.

Upon hearing this, Sheppard’s eyes widened!

An Earth Rank Pill? Wasn’t that going a bit overboard with erudition?

An Earth Rank Pill was enough to cause quite a stir across half of Unchon!

“Mr. Smith, you really are overly kind!” Sheppard exclaimed while chuckling, quickly pocketing the pill.

Although he said so, Sheppard was incredibly greedy. The opportunity to take advantage of the situation was irresistible for him.

“Mr. Smith, as you may know, getting Grandmasters involved isn’t an easy task. Sometimes they don’t obey,” Sheppard responded ambiguously, hinting at something.

Ethan was no fool; it was clear to him what Sheppard was implying.

Therefore, Ethan stood up and said, “Mr. Sheppard, if you are willing to assist in arranging for people, I can give you a medicinal herb with effects lasting over five hundred years.”

Sheppard’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, “Really?”

“Absolutely,” Ethan affirmed.

Sheppard couldn’t help but lick his lips.

Another ten minutes had passed.

Ethan Smith stood up and said, “Mr. Sheppard, could you hurry him up? If you can’t help, please tell me directly.”

Rishi Sheppard rubbed his hands together and said, “Don’t worry, he’s on his way! I...I have a good bottle of wine here, Mr. Smith, do you want to try some?”

Ethan Smith was growing impatient.

He stood up and said, “Mr. Sheppard, as I said, this matter is urgent. I hope you won’t waste my time.”

Rishi Sheppard looked a little awkward. Just as he was at a loss, the office door finally opened.

Then, a man in his fifties walked in from outside the door.

He was followed by five others.

Each one of them was in the Grandmaster Realm.

“Mr. Kirby, you’ve finally arrived!” Rishi Sheppard breathed a sigh of relief.

Ethan Smith didn’t know Colt Kirby’s intentions and politely said, “Thank you for all your help.”

Colt Kirby raised an eyebrow and sneered, “Help? Do you think I’m here to help you?”

Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked, “What do you mean?”

“Fool, Mr. Kirby is here to kill you! Do you really think I would help you?” Rishi Sheppard hid behind Colt Kirby, grinning menacingly.

Ethan Smith’s face turned a shade darker.

He glared coldly at Rishi Sheppard and said, “You really are a despicable person.”

Rishi Sheppard sneered, “Blame yourself for being such a fool! But the pill you gave me is not bad, I won’t be polite.”

Ethan Smith had no time to bother with this Rishi Sheppard.

He turned to Colt Kirby and said, “We don’t seem to have any grudges, do we?”

Colt Kirby stood with his hands behind him and said lightly, “Indeed, but someone wants me to kill you.”

“Someone wants to kill me?” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.

He could tell that this Colt Kirby was powerful, and he was strapped for time. Therefore, Ethan Smith suppressed his anger and said, “No matter what conditions the other party offered to kill me, I can give you an Earth Rank Pill, even a Divine Rank one.”

“I just ask to be let through.” Ethan Smith said gravely.

“Divine Rank Pill?” Colt Kirby raised an eyebrow, clearly tempted.

A Divine Rank Pill was an absolute treasure!

Even Colt Kirby had never seen one before!

“What do you say, if you’re not satisfied, we can negotiate further.” Ethan Smith said.

Colt Kirby stroked his chin and said, “Your offer is indeed attractive, but unfortunately, the other party’s background is too big. I can’t afford to provoke them.”

“So...you might as well just die here!”
