“You- Preston cut off, his face red with anger However, even Miranda was forced to stay silent
“Well, they do that say heroes come in all ages Linden stood up and beamed
He added, “Congratulations on beating everyone else. So, tell me your wish As long as it’s within my
power, I’ll try my best to get it done!”
Most people joined the competition to join Stoneray Order, but some would request and ask Linden for
rare gems, ancient medical texts, panaceas, and more
“You’re as generous as rumors say. Well, Ill be straightforward I’m actually here for your thousand -year
green lotus,” Dustin answered frankly.
“Thousand-year green lotus? It’s a rare herb. I must say, you’re quite ambitious “Linden raised an
eyebrow

“It might be a valuable herb, but I don’t mind giving it to you.” Linden chuckled. “Bring me the herb!”
“Yes, sir!” The invigilator left quickly and returned, holding a wooden box.
The box opened to reveal a perfect, translucent green lotus with green leaves and a yellow pod
Light shone on the herb, making it dazzle.
“That’s the green lotus!” Dustin was overjoyed.
Before this, he hadn’t bought it because it wasn’t mature enough. But thanks to Linden’s care, the
green lotus had truly transformed into a rare, prime thousand-year green lotus.
“Wait!” Miranda suddenly called out. “Dr. Watkins, could you mind letting me have it? I’m willing to pay
any amount!”
“If you had asked earlier, you might have had a chance. Unfortunately, it belongs to this young man
now. It is his now, and he decides what to do with it,” Linden answered.
“What?” Miranda frowned. “Hey, you! I need that herb. Name your price!”
“Sorry, but I need it too so I won’t sell it,” Dustin refused.
“I’m one of the Killians. You better think twice before answering,” Miranda yelled threateningly.
The Killians of Oakvale were one of the strongest families in Millsburg, and everyone was aware of
this.
“So what? I said no. Leave!” Dustin snapped, unbothered.
“You!” Miranda gritted her teeth to suppress her anger.
“Fine! You better not regret this!” She turned around and left. If she couldn’t buy it, she’d have to
steal it.
“Hey, kid. You’ve angered Miranda, so you’d better be careful.” Preston sneered before following
Miranda.
Although he recognized Dustin as a genius in the medical world, Dustin still lacked the skills to survive
in the real world.
“Thank you for the herb, Dr. Watkins. I’ll be leaving now.” Dustin grabbed the herb and was about to
leave when the invigilator stopped him.
“What’s the hurry? I don’t mind giving the herb to you, but on one condition-you have to join Stoneray
Order Linden smiled.
“Dr. Watkins, I don’t like being held back. The rules and regulations at the Stoneray Order might not
suit me,” Dustin declined politely.
“It’s fine. As long as you agree to join us, you can ignore all those rules,” Linden promised.
“Furthermore, after seeing your outstanding performance, I’ve decided to promote you to elder. You will
have free access to most of our resources!
“What? He’ll promote that guy to an elder?” Linden’s words stunned everyone.
