Chapter 733: Chapter 732: 732: The Effect of Bootlicking

Upon hearing Guy Noble’s voice, Ethan Smith hurriedly came down from upstairs.

He apologized slightly, “Mr. Noble, I’m really sorry. Someone came to cause trouble and accidentally damaged your stuff.”

After finishing speaking, Ethan Smith took out a bank card and handed it to Guy Noble.

“Mr. Noble, this is your compensation,” said Ethan Smith.

However, Guy Noble waved his hand and said, “Never mind, it’s alright if it’s broken, no need to stand on formalities.”

Ethan Smith wanted to say something else, but Guy suddenly asked, “You said someone came to cause trouble? Who? Don’t they know this house is mine?”

“Probably not.” Ethan Smith shrugged.

Guy Noble grumbled, “If I catch him, I’ll definitely make him pay!”

After saying that, Guy Noble had another set of keys taken out by his follower.

“You can live here. That house is empty anyway,” said Mr. Noble.

Ethan Smith waved his hand, saying, “No need, we are comfortable living here.”

Guy Noble said, “Alright then, I just came over to see how you guys were getting on.”

After saying that sentence, Guy Noble planned on leaving.

At that moment, Ethan Smith suddenly blocked Guy Noble’s way.

He was silent for a moment, then said, “Mr. Noble, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Noble asked.

Ethan Smith spoke solemnly, “Have you heard the news that a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb will be revealed soon nearby?”

“The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb?” Guy Noble raised an eyebrow.

“Are you here for this?”

Ethan Smith nodded, “Yes, this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb is very important to me.”

Guy Noble’s eyes narrowed slightly, he walked over and sat down on the sofa, then he asked, “Why are you trying to inform me? In Downton City, no one can snatch anything that the Noble Family has their eyes on.”

Ethan Smith thought for a moment, then said, “Even if I wanted to hide it, I probably couldn’t.”

“More importantly, Mr. Noble is such an influential figure, I wouldn’t be able to compete even if I wanted to.”

The last sentence, made Guy Noble smile.

He smirked and said, “Of course! You’re smart for understanding this!”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but cry from laughter.

This Guy Noble, he really can’t resist flattery.

“I actually don’t involve myself in these things, it’s all managed by the family.” Guy Noble said as he touched his chin.

“Regarding this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb, my father must already know about it.”

At these words, Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed.

If the Noble Family had already set their sights on this herb, did he still have an opportunity?

“But I can try negotiating with my father,” Guy Noble then said quietly.

“Wait for my message. If there’s a chance, I’ll take you to meet my father.”

Ethan Smith nodded, “Thank you, Mr. Noble.”

Guy Noble waved his hand, and then left in high spirits.

When evening came, Guy Noble called Ethan Smith.

“Ethan Smith, my father has agreed to meet you. I’ll send someone to pick you up later,” said Guy Noble.

Ethan Smith agreed, “Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Ethan Smith went to the door and waited quietly.

About ten minutes later.

A Rolls-Royce slowly drove up.

As soon as the car stopped, the follower quickly opened the car door for Ethan Smith and respectfully said, “Mr. Smith, please get in the car.”

After getting into the car, they headed to the Noble Family’s residence.

On the way, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but look out the window at the scenery.

No doubt, the scene of Downton City was very beautiful and enticing.

After about an hour’s drive, they arrived at a manor.

The manor was built luxuriously and covered a frightening amount of land.

Whenever you looked, there was evidence of human intervention, even the trees were carefully pruned.

The interior of the villa, on the other hand, looked somewhat different, with visible gold everywhere.

Clearly, a lot of gold was spent on this manor, which seemed out of place with the rest of Downton City.

The car stopped at the entrance of a villa.

The follower opened the car door for Ethan Smith and politely said, “Mr. Smith, young master is waiting for you inside.”

Ethan Smith nodded. When he entered the villa, he saw Guy Noble sipping tea.

“Mr. Noble,” Ethan Smith greeted as he approached.

Guy Noble stood up and said, “Come, my father is waiting for you.”

Ethan Smith followed behind Guy Noble to a tea room.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of a tea room.

The tea room was also built luxuriously, not only was it covered in gold, but it was also inlaid with diamonds.

Ethan Smith touched his chin, having a general idea about the character of Guy Noble’s father.

Guy Noble led Ethan Smith into the tea room. As soon as they entered, a surge of opulence hit them in the face.

At the end of the tea room sat a middle-aged man

This man was Guy Noble’s father, Pat Noble.

“Dad, Ethan Smith is here,” said Guy Noble as he walked up.

Pat Noble lifted his eyelids and said casually, “Sit down.”

Ethan Smith bowed and said, “Mr. Noble, good to make your acquaintance.”

Pat Noble didn’t say a word as he continued brewing tea.

“Guy, you step out for a minute,” said Pat Noble a while later, waving his hand.

Guy Noble stood up and said, “Alright, dad, you two chat.”

Pat Noble remained silent until Guy Noble left. Finally, he lifted his head.

He looked at Ethan Smith before him and said indifferently, “So, you are Ethan Smith?”

Ethan Smith thought in his heart, “Isn’t this obvious…”

“I heard you stirred up quite a ruckus in Capital City by yourself?” Pat Noble continued.

Ethan Smith smiled and said, “Mr. Noble, that’s overstating it. I was just causing a minor stir.”

Pat Noble grunted lightly, then remarked, “In my eyes, it indeed was trivial. In Downton City, no aristocratic family is worth mentioning.”

Upon hearing Pat Noble’s words, Ethan Smith had a basic understanding of his disposition.

“I heard you are looking to take a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb from my Noble Family?” Finally, Pat Noble brought up the main point.

Ethan Smith nodded, “Yes. Although this herb hasn’t yet revealed itself, since it is growing in Downton City, it belongs to the Noble Family.”

“So acquiring this herb requires Mr. Noble’s permission,” Ethan Smith said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ethan Smith’s flattery, a satisfied expression flashed across Pat Noble’s face.

Although it was fleeting, Ethan Smith still managed to catch it.

“Even though you know it belongs to my Noble Family, you still dare to covet it?” Pat Noble asked as he put down his teapot.

Ethan Smith sighed, “This Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb is crucial to me. Comparing it to the Noble Family, it’s as significant as a roadside weed.”

“Who doesn’t know the position of the Noble Family in Downton City? Who doesn’t know the Noble Family is wealthy enough to rival a nation? Who doesn’t know that the Noble Family is dominant with the largest resources in the world?”

“To me, this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Herb is a rare treasure. But for the Noble Family, it is just a weed. Since it’s a weed, I thought Mr. Noble wouldn’t mind, which is why I dared to ask.”

After hearing Ethan Smith’s flattery, Pat Noble’s satisfied deadpan expression could hardly be hidden anymore.

Although he tried hard to suppress his smug smile, in the end, he couldn’t help but smirk quite delightedly.
