Chapter 914

An unregistered ship eased into the southwest dock of Southgress. Seeing this, the dispatcher grabbed the walkie-talkie and yelled, "Hey! You can't dock here. Your ship is unregistered. I'll call the police otherwise." Cyrus took the captain's walkie-talkie and said, "Call your boss now. Our ship is special." While the dispatcher hesitated, his phone rang. "That ship is allowed to dock. Get the ground crew to clear the scene and prevent anyone from getting close." "Roger that." Soon, Cyrus' cruise ship docked at the specified port. Surprised, Kaia exclaimed, "Do you have such incredible connections even inSouthgress?" "This is nothing." Disembarking from the ship with a chuckle, Cyrus noticed two large helicopters had been anticipating his arrival. A young man flagged him over and whispered, "Mr. Johnson, the young lord sent me to take you to Josproburgh in secret." "Got it. There are special herbs on the ship for you to take them back with you. I'll send you the prescription. Once the pills are ready, I'll purchase them from you directly." "Understood. We'll do as you say." "The fact that I'm still alive must be kept a secret." "Rest assured, only three people in the Herb Gatherers Clan are aware of this. The helicopter's pilot has no idea who you are." "Great. Do you have news of Innerzen Medical Center?" "We sent men over to Innerzen Medical Center after your accident and prepared to coordinate the business handover with your wife. But realizing the Draigs had taken over, we didn't show up. "Also, the Olsens, the Shaws, the Andersons, the Sykeses will arrive at Jorsproburgh tonight. The five elders will be there too." Cyrus nodded. "Got it. Will we be able to reach Jorsproburgh before dark?" "Absolutely. We've prepared a large helicopter for you, and it doesn't need refueling along the way." "Good. Thank you." As Cyrus boarded the helicopter with Leah and Kaia, the people from the Herb Gatherers Clan secretly got on the ship and transported the snake scales and snake gallbladder away. Feeling somewhat uneasy, Leah asked, "Can they be trusted?" "Definitely," Cyrus said with a chuckle. Kaia sniffed the air. Observing the complexion of the people transporting the snake's insides away, she asked, "Are they from the Herb Gatherers Clan in Southgress?" Cyrus was shocked, to say the least. Due to their clandestine and elusive nature, the Herb Gatherers Clan never revealed their identity and only sold the exquisite herbs they scavenged through herb merchants. They were only loyal to the Hippocrates Sect. Noting Cyrus' lack of response, Kaia became even more curious. She grabbed his arm and pressed, "How do you know them? My dad has been trying to buy from them for ages, but he could never get in contact." "Since you can't get in contact with them, why do you assume that they're from the Herb Gatherers Clan?" Cyrus deflected. "It's simple. They're covered in the scent of exquisite wild herbs, and their skin shows signs of extensive sun exposure—likely from collecting herbs in the wild around the world." "Not bad, Kay." "Don't call me that. I'm Zoey's cousin, not yours." "Then, come with me to Jorsproburgh. You can reunite with Zoey there." "My parents probably think I'm dead. I'd like to see them first," Kaia said. "They might be in Jorsproburgh as well." "Then, let's go. Hurry up!" "The address is at the shack near Kennard's grave," Cyrus whispered to Leah. "Got it." Leah nodded. "What's my job?" Kaia asked. "Just stick with me and quietly help out with some serious matters," Cyrus replied with a grin. "As if you're ever serious! This time, those old geezers are determined to kill you. You'd better lay low and take your wife and daughter to seek refuge at our estate. Fighting them head-on won't get you anywhere, and it'll also put my dad in a tough spot," Kaia said. Even the Big Four of Summerland wouldn't dare to act recklessly in Southgress. Spanning a quarter of the entire Summerland's land, it was a complex place where the Draig family reigned supreme as the local power.
