God-Level Special Forces Soldier

Chapter 637: Chapter 634: Sharp Words

After listening to the explanation from the Asian man, the leader immediately showed a knowing smile, then patted the man’s bowed head: ”That’s a very good reason, but you got one thing wrong; the herbs he’s picking aren’t ours, they’re for our esteemed Mr. Isaac!”

”Yes, yes, yes!” The Asian man nodded repeatedly, appearing extremely terrified: ”Only someone like Mr. Isaac, and a big brother like you, deserve such precious herbs!”

The leader was pleased to hear him being equated with Isaac and nodded with satisfaction, clearly enjoying it.

...

”Isaac?” Melinda suddenly frowned, her eyes widened, this strange action caused everyone around to feel puzzled.

Xiao Tian asked curiously, ”What, you know this Isaac?”

Upon hearing Xiao Tian’s inquiry, Melinda’s face instantly showed an amused yet helpless expression: ”Not only do I know him, but you also know him. No, you should know him very well, especially you!”

Following Melinda’s gesture, Lin Bingxuan and Ghost Face directed their gaze towards Xiao Tian.

Being the focal point, Xiao Tian looked utterly baffled: ”Me? Why should I know him very well? I’ve never even heard of this Isaac!”

”Do you still remember the most eager expert when we were buying those herbs?” Melinda reminded him.

Xiao Tian furrowed his brow: ”The most eager one?” With his astonishing memory, he quickly identified the person Melinda was referring to, and his expression turned somewhat peculiar.

Seeing Lin Bingxuan and Ghost Face utterly confused, they couldn’t help but ask: ”What’s going on?”

Xiao Tian’s mouth twitched slightly, but he just said, ”Because that man’s appearance is really... Anyway, you wouldn’t want to meet him!”

Thinking of Isaac, who was jumping about eagerly when he was playing Jiang Kaishan selling herbs, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but show a grimace worse than crying.

But people are like that; the more baffling something is, the more they want to explore it.

Especially when curiosity is piqued, and the other person provides an answer that spurs endless imagination, it’s truly the most infuriating thing, akin to being spoiled when one is binge-watching a show.

Seeing the elegant beauty of Lin Bingxuan twisted in confusion, Melinda couldn’t bear it and leaned over to whisper in her ear...

After a while, Lin Bingxuan’s delicate face slowly showcased a similar expression to those of the previous two, causing the increasingly perplexed Ghost Face to feel on the brink of madness.

”What are you talking about?!” Ghost Face, unable to contain his curiosity, asked the two beauties.

Lin Bingxuan pondered Melinda’s recent description, hesitated, and said: ”Mr. Ghost Face, you’re better off not knowing!”

Seeing the three of them direct their gaze back toward that group of foreigners, Ghost Face felt like he swallowed a fly, his expression akin to constipation.

...

Elsewhere, feeling relieved, the leader patted the Asian man’s shoulder and asked: ”Is there more?”

The Asian man furrowed his brow and then said: ”There’s more; if everyone in the old man’s village lives by picking herbs like he does...”

Before he finished, the leader’s eyes flashed brightly and he interrupted: ”Then we’ll be rich!”

The more the leader thought about the possibility, the more excited and flushed his face became, finally responding after a while: ”Rest assured, if it’s really as you say, there’ll be plenty of benefits!”

The Asian man was practically driven insane waiting for these words, and upon finally hearing them, felt a blinding optimism: ”Thank you very much! From now on, you’re my big brother, Andrew!”

Normally, if Andrew heard the Asian man calling him big brother, he would certainly rebuke him harshly, considering it an insult.

However, now, overwhelmed with excitement, he suddenly agreed: ”Okay, I’ll take you as my brother. As long as I, Andrew, have food, you won’t go hungry!”

The Asian man repeatedly bowed in gratitude, expressing a flurry of thankful words, his attitude ingratiating and posture humble, looking as if he had acknowledged a godfather rather than a big brother, nearly kneeling and kowtowing!

Hovering in mid-air, the Herbalist Elder watched the man who claimed to be a Huaxia person incessantly bowing to the foreigners.

His aging face inevitably showed a trace of disgust, and he couldn’t help but curse out: ”Bah! You think you’re worthy of calling yourself a Huaxia person?”

Many surrounding foreigners shared the elder’s contempt, including the four at the mountaintop, as they unanimously thought: Huaxia people truly have an innate talent for flattering and serving others!

”Enough!”

Tired of hearing the endless flattery, Andrew interrupted the Asian man’s torrent of words.

Once more smoothing over his top knot, he said: ”Didn’t you say you were confident in persuading the old man? Hurry up and do your job, stop wasting time with this nonsense!”

”Okay, okay!” The Asian man hurriedly agreed, then approached the Herbalist Elder. Standing firm, he looked at the elder’s eyes filled with disdain and contempt, his internal rage quickly building.

Foreigners treating me this way is one thing, but why should you, an old codger, look at me like that?!

Though his heart was ablaze with anger, the Asian man managed to maintain a placating smile, appearing harmless and calling out: ”Master, don’t be afraid, I’m Bao Hongfei, and I’m also Huaxia!”

When the words came out, Bao Hongfei felt as if he was saving a jumper, suddenly under intense pressure.

In his view, it was no big deal if the old man died, but if it compromised his future, it was simply unacceptable.

He knew very well, despite Andrew’s pleasing words, if he failed to persuade the old man successfully, all efforts would go to waste.

Moreover, the likelihood of Andrew unleashing his wrath on him was almost certain.

So, he must succeed; failure is not an option!

This seeming gamble of an opportunity was a rarity for a small person, and Bao Hongfei clearly regarded it as his lifeline, with his chance to turn things around hinging on a single stroke!

Suspended in mid-air, the Herbalist Elder snorted coldly: ”You are Huaxia? Did I hear wrong? I think you’re just a dog for foreigners!”

”You...”

The Herbalist Elder’s three-question series choked Bao Hongfei, who claimed to be Huaxia, unable to speak, nearly cursing aloud but fortunately held it back in time.
