Chapter 2008CHAPTER 2008 THE WITHERED SNOW LOTUS
After Fandor finished speaking, he quickly added, “But if you don't have money, there is another way...”
“What way?” Ryosuke asked, his voice laced with eagerness. He believed that Fandor was the only
one who could defeat Kawano, and he was willing to do whatever it took to get Fandor on board with
his plan.
“I heard that you have an ancient snow lotus from Fujio Mountain. If you hand it over, I can consider
your request,” Fandor said mildly.
Ryosuke was stunned when he heard that because no one knew about his possession of the snow
lotus, not even the top brass of the Watanabe family or the shrine. Otherwise, the shrine would have
requested it.
How did Fandor find out about such a secret?
Ryosuke was puzzled, but Fandor must have known for certain to mention it.
“Mr. Loufury, in fact, the snow lotus has already withered. It's just a specimen and has no value,”
Ryosuke explained.
“I don't care if it has value or not. I'm only asking if you're willing to give it up,” Fandor asked firmly,
staring at Ryosuke as he uttered each word.
“Um...” Ryosuke hesitated, but after a moment, he glanced at Yuri. Gritting his teeth, he finally made uphis mind. “Okay, I'm willing to give it up as long as you can kill Kawano, Mr. Loufury.”
Fandor laughed heartily when he heard that and uttered with utmost confidence, “Hahaha, don't worry,
Kawano is as good as dead.”
Jared and the others then followed Ryosuke to the Watanabe family's mansion. It was the residence of
the head of the Watanabe family, so it was in a central location.
Yet, Jared was brought here. If Asuka found out, he would be livid.
“Ryosuke, show us what you promised. If you're sincere, not only can we kill Masato, but we can also
destroy the Thousand Crane Shrine,” Fandor said in a serious manner.
Hearing this, Ryosuke nodded and had his men bring out many resources. He then went to the
bedroom and after a long time, he came out with a transparent glass box.
Inside the box was a snow lotus, but it was already withered and devoid of spiritual energy.
Fandor took the snow lotus over, and his eyes widened. Then, he smiled mildly and said, “This is very
precious...”
novelbinHe carefully put the snow lotus away and said to Ryosuke, “All right, arrange a place for us to stay. You
don't have to worry about the Watanabe family's affairs anymore.”
Ryosuke quickly nodded and offered the largest mansion he owned for Fandor and Jared to stay in. “Fandor, why do you want a withered snow lotus?” Flaxseed asked, puzzled by the old man's
intentions.
“You don't understand. I have a way to revive it,” Fandor said.
He then opened the glass box and poured some wine from a flask at his waist into it.
Flaxseed and Jared were both befuddled, wondering if Fandor was planning to make liquor with the
ancient snow lotus.
But something magical then happened. As the snow lotus was soaked in the liquor, it slowly came back
to life and became more vibrant in color.
Then, a large amount of spiritual energy began to spread throughout the room, and inhaling it made
them feel refreshed and happy.
Seeing this, Flaxseed and Jared couldn't help but feel envious. If they could refine this ancient snow
lotus into a pill, it could greatly enhance their strength.
If it were Jared, he could probably break through to the level of Martial Arts Saint. However, since the
snow lotus belonged to Fandor, they couldn't just take it without permission.
