Chapter 59 Hostile Takeover
“Okay, when Master Seda comes back, I will convey your intention to him.”

Naturally, Gao De was unwilling to sell the medicine garden, especially since Master Seda was no longer around.

But the situation was such that he couldn’t think of any solution for the moment and could only resort to the tactic of “delaying”.

“He had explained before he left that he was going out because he had not yet come up with any results from his research on the potion formula, so he decided to take a break and go back to his hometown to visit his relatives. He didn’t know when he would be back.”

Oliver looked strange when he heard what God said.

Gao De noticed the subtle change in the other party’s expression. While his heart was slightly tense, he continued as if nothing had happened: “I have mastered all of Master Seda’s knowledge of potions, so he temporarily handed the medicine garden to me until he comes back.”

When Oliver heard what God said, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he was a little skeptical: “Your Excellency, are you saying that you have mastered all of Master Seda’s knowledge of potions?”

It can be seen that he was reserved about this statement and was half-believing and half-doubting.

After all, Gaode still looks too young.

God nodded firmly, “Master Seda has taught me both the Primary Spider Venom Potion and the Primary Endurance Potion, and I have mastered them all.”

“If that’s the case, we would also like to hire you as our store’s potion master.” Oliver said with a smile.

“Also, if Master Seda doesn’t come back soon, it’s not impossible for you to decide some things.”

Oliver looked at the herb garden pretentiously, stretched out two fingers of his right hand, and said, “200 gold coins. I am willing to pay 200 gold coins to buy your herb garden.”

Hearing this price, Gao De couldn’t help but grit his teeth in hatred in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, when Master Seda took over this medicine garden, it cost more than two hundred gold coins, not to mention the various renovations and construction that followed.

Coupled with the four carefully cultivated medicinal fields with stable output, it would not be an exaggeration to double the two hundred gold coins.

“The Master Mage only asked me to temporarily manage the medicine garden. How dare I make such a decision on my own? We should wait until Master Seda returns before making a decision.”

Although he hated it in his heart, Gao De still smiled on the surface.

“That’s true,” Oliver said, not taking it seriously. “It’s just that opportunities are time-limited. I’m very anxious and can’t give you too much time. You should think about it carefully.”

“I think even if Master Seda comes back, he will understand your decision. After all, it is a great blessing to be able to join our Phil Potion Shop.”

After saying this with a smile, Oliver waved his hand, got into the carriage parked under a tree, and left leisurely.

After the “Smiling Tiger” sent Oliver and his group away, Gode cursed in his heart.

He just had a moment where he clearly sensed the evil intentions released by Oliver, and then he took the initiative to reveal that he had inherited all the potion knowledge of Master Sedda.

It is not only to show your own value, but also to stabilize the other party.

Only if there is value will the other party think twice before acting.

But it is hard to say how long this double-thinking can last and how effective it will be.

“God, what should we do?” Amy, who witnessed the whole process, could not be as calm as God. She was already panicking and just pretended to be calm in front of outsiders.

Now that Oliver and his group had left, he could no longer hold back and said in panic, “Master Seda has…”

“Don’t tell anyone else about this for now. Let me think about it.” Godard knew what Amy meant and could only say this.

Phil’s Potion Shop, second floor.

A long table made of mahogany divides the room into two spaces.

Behind the long table was a dignified man with deep eye sockets, slightly raised brow bones, and a neatly trimmed beard.

He was wearing a custom-made robe made of high-quality dark purple fabric, with an emblem of unknown meaning embroidered on the chest.

Obviously, this is a person of extremely noble status.

Oliver, the owner of the potion shop, was standing respectfully in front of the long table.

There was none of the complacent attitude he had during the day at the Seda Medicinal Garden.

“My Lord Baron, today I went to the Seda Medicinal Garden and the Iberlan Medicinal Garden on the outskirts of the city. The Iberlan Medicinal Garden has agreed to transfer the garden to me, but the situation at the Seda Medicinal Garden is more complicated.”

“What do you mean?” asked the man called the Baron.

“I went there, but I didn’t see their leader, Master Seda. According to the apprentices in the medicine garden, Master Seda had returned to his hometown to visit his relatives.”

“But I suspect that the Sedda Master did not actually return to visit his relatives, but had died of old age, but the apprentices in the medicine garden kept the news secret.”

“The Sedda Master is already old. The last time he came to the store to get the spiritual bone powder, I was the one who received him.”

“At that time, his complexion was extremely gray and he looked like he was going to die soon.”

“Also, this wizard Seda has been researching his high-level potion for the past ten years. He has invested countless money and energy in it. He has gone crazy and will not stop until he achieves his goal.”

“How could such a person suddenly stop his research and choose to return home to visit his relatives?”

“Besides, it’s hard to say whether an old mage who has lived in seclusion for ten years has any relatives alive. Who would believe him if he said he was returning to visit his relatives?”

“Besides, he said he was visiting relatives. I sent people to the post station in the city to inquire, but I didn’t find any record of the Sedda Master renting horses at the post station or the carriage shop.”

“The old wizard is so old. How could he travel far without renting a horse or a carriage? Can he walk?”

“It is most likely as I said, he has died of old age in the medicine garden. It’s just that these apprentices are so bold and fanciful that they want to create the illusion that the old wizard is still alive so that they can continue to manage the old wizard’s medicine garden.”

“I have to say, if you hadn’t signaled me to start annexing and acquiring the city’s medicinal gardens, I really wouldn’t have noticed this Seda Medicinal Garden. I almost got it done for them.”

“I went there today to find out what happened. If I can confirm that the old wizard is no longer alive, I can simply fabricate a crime for these apprentices, put them in jail for a while, and directly occupy the ownerless herb garden.”

“A bunch of apprentices who were born as beggars, yet they are at my mercy.”

“Then why didn’t you take action?” The majestic man sitting behind the long table listened for a long time and finally asked.

“There was a little accident. There was an apprentice in the medicine garden who claimed that he had inherited all the potion knowledge of the old wizard.”

“That apprentice looks very young, probably around thirteen or fourteen. If what he said is true, I think he has great potential for training, so I’ll give up the idea for now and decide to wait and see.”

“This kind of talent should be allowed to join Phil’s Potion Shop and make medicine for us.”

“Given his age and talent in potions, we don’t know how much money he can help us make in the future.”

“It would be short-sighted to send him to jail for a little money, so I thought I’d buy their herb garden in a more peaceful way.”

“That’s right,” the dignified man tapped the table with his knuckles. “Get the job done as quickly as possible and don’t make any mistakes, otherwise…”

“Don’t worry, Baron. I will definitely handle this matter properly.”

“It won’t be long before he agrees to transfer the medicine garden to me and become the potion master of this shop.”
