"Who says I can't afford them?" Leon scoffed and was about to continue when Jaxon came down from the stage.
"Mister Wolf, you might not be an expert in herbs. There are different types of herbs with different effects. Even if you buy all fifteen of them, they won't all be useful to you. These herbs that have grown for three hundred years work great. If you like them, you can buy one and try how it works on you first," Jaxon said.
Though he did not think someone of Leon's status could afford the herbs, he could not insult Leon like the others as he was the host. Moreover, Leon was Renee's boyfriend and with her help, Leon should be able to purchase a three-hundred-year-old herb even if he could not afford the other ones that cost tens of millions.
Hence, he recommended the cheaper herbs to Leon and gave him an excuse to give up. So long as Leon accepted it, he would not embarrass himself and Renee.
"It's fine. Mister Feaks, I'm interested in them all. Please pack them and calculate the total amount!" Leon said calmly.
Cynthion Group needed a large supply of herbs to produce alchemical pills, especially herbs that grew for over three hundred years.
He was lucky to encounter this many rare herbs, so he needed to purchase them all.
"But-" Jaxon did not expect Leon to be so insistent despite being given a way out.
This caught him by surprise and he was stunned.
"That's enough! Don't worry, Mister Feaks. 287 million doesn't mean much to me. If you are worried that I can't afford it, run my card!" Leon saw through Jaxon's thoughts and placed his card on the cabinet before Jaxon.
If that were truly what Leon thought, it would be laughable.
Though Renee was the eldest daughter of the Morrisons, it would be challenging for her to move such a large amount of money.
Moreover, the effects of these herbs were different and most were not suitable for the method the Morrisons trained with. Hence, there was no point for Renee to purchase all the herbs.
Caleb and the other elders would never allow her to spend 287 million on herbs that were useless to them.
