Olivia's self-esteem suddenly became unbearable, and her face instantly turned livid.
"Benjamin, you… you have the guts!"
She gritted her teeth and glared at Benjamin, "Do you think I can never find another man besides you? Hmph, I will definitely find a man who is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you, and make you regret it!"
After putting down harsh words, Olivia ran away and left Benjamin's office.
Benjamin closed the door with a bang. If Olivia didn't come to him, he would have thought that Olivia had to sleep with Samuel Foster in order to become a permanent worker. But now, Benjamin completely looked down on her.
He would not want such a woman.
Olivia ran out of the hospital and looked back at the hospital building. She made up her mind to leave here.
This place brought her countless painful memories, and she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
She was going to find a more powerful man, and when the time came, she would come back and slap Benjamin hard in the face.
Making up her mind, Olivia left without looking back.
…
Benjamin and Elizabeth came to the ashram in Eastern Sea City City.
The ashram was not practically a market as most of them are small stalls. Dressing in weird clothes, people put some rags on the ground and placed the things they wanted to sell on it.
This was the first time for Benjamin to come to this place, and he was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that there was such a place in the bustling metropolis like the Eastern Sea City.
Elizabeth smiled and said, "I used to come here with my dad a lot. He bought a lot of weird things here before. Why are you asking about this place?"
"I want to buy some medicinal materials!" Benjamin said.
Elizabeth pointed to the distance, "Did you see that? There is a Medical Panacea there, selling many medicinal materials. My father collected the medicinal materials needed to treat diseases and bought many of them from there."
"Oh?"
Benjamin became interested and led Elizabeth into the Medical Panacea.
In this ashram, most of them were roadside stalls. It was thought that many Martial Artists who travel around in searching opportunities had no fixed place to stay, so they would not open a shop in this kind of cultivation market.
And those who could open a store in this place were those who did big business.
Medical Panacea was a wooden building with an antique look. After Benjamin walked in, he smelled a fresh fragrance. Nodding, he knew that it was the fragrance of medicinal materials.
At this time, a waitress wearing a cheongsam came over with a smile, "Sir, what do you need?"
Benjamin took out the list he had prepared and handed it to the waitress, "I need these medicinal materials!"
The waitress couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the medicinal materials on the list. Her expression was full of shock, because her guest needed too many medicinal materials, more than fifty kinds of them.
She hurriedly said, "Sir, you want too many medicinal materials, and most of them are extremely precious medicinal materials. I have no way to make the decision. I will ask our boss to come over!"
"Okay!" Benjamin nodded in agreement.
Just after the waitress left, a young master walked into the Medical Panacea and saw Elizabeth next to Benjamin. He couldn't help but be startled, and then his eyes lit up. She was such a beautiful woman.
He immediately came to Elizabeth's side and asked with a smile, "Hello, beauty, my name is Joshua Wood. Nice to meet you!"
Elizabeth frowned and snorted, "Sorry, I'm not in the mood to get to know you!"
The man was unmoved and said proudly, "Do you know who I am? You might be surprised if I tell you!"
Elizabeth couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled, "Haha, at the Eastern Sea City, I have never heard of anyone's name being able to surprise me. You'd better stay where you are to cool off!"
"You..." Joshua Wood's face turned livid with anger.
At this time, a young man following Joshua Wood immediately said, "This is Joshua Wood, the son of Isaac Wood, the master of Liavek Martial Arts Academy!"
"Isaac Wood?" Elizabeth was stunned for a moment.
"That's right!" The younger man said proudly, "Mr. Joshua is an Outer Energy state master, and he’s only a little bit more before he reaches the Inner Energy state! Given time, he will definitely be able to step into the Inner Energy. Not to mention anything else, even the patriarch, Nathan Harrison, is also very polite when meeting our master!"
"Tch!" Elizabeth sneered. She had never seen her father be polite to anyone in the Eastern Sea City.
Joshua Wood thought that Elizabeth would be very surprised when he told her his name, and would even be attracted to him. However, he did not expect that the girl would ignore him at all. It was as if he had been punched on cotton, making him feel uncomfortable.
He was embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do.
He rolled his eyes a few times and thought to himself, this little girl probably had never seen the world and didn't know what Outer Energy state and Inner Energy state were. All he needed to do was show off his financial resources.
At this time, an old man walked down the stairs, accompanied by the waitress who had just talked to Benjamin.
When Joshua Wood saw the old man, he was stunned before hurriedly walking over and said with a smile, "Oh, Mr. Quinton! It’s an honor to be greeted by you! You are so polite, but there is no need for this!"
Mr. Quinton frowned as the guy was being sentimental. He came here for the upcoming big business, not for Joshua Wood.
But he would not tell anyone who was open for business, and immediately put a smile on his face, "Good day Mr. Wood. It should be, it should be!"
Then, he told the waitress behind him, "Go and guide Mr. Wood!"
"Yes!" The waitress responded immediately.
Then, Mr. Quinton focused his attention on Benjamin, with a look of surprise.
But he still hurried over and said with a smile, "My friend, do you need so many medicinal materials?"
"I do!" Benjamin nodded.
Mr. Quinton looked at the list, and couldn't help but ask, "Look, my friend. What you want is a lot of medicinal materials that are more than a hundred years old. This cannot be obtained at an ordinary price. I had made a rough estimate. To buy the medicinal materials you need, you need at least this amount!"
Mr. Quinton raised five fingers, and Benjamin immediately asked, "Five million?"
"No..." Mr. Quinton smiled and shook his head, "Fifty million!"
"Hiss!" Benjamin couldn't help but gasp, because this was not a small amount of money!
Elizabeth on the side also frowned. If it was five million, she could just borrow it to Benjamin. But fifty million of spending would alarm her father, so she couldn't make the decision easily.
At this time, Joshua Wood came over and sneered, "You are young, but you have a big tone. Do you actually ask for 50 million worth medicinal materials? In my opinion, you are here just to make fun of Mr. Quinton! Look at your shabby looks, how can you come up with 50 million?"
"You..." Elizabeth's delicate body trembled with anger, "Who said we can’t afford it?"
"Then prove it!" Joshua Wood said with a smile, "Fifty million is just a drop of rain to me, but to this young man, it is probably the amount that he will never make in ten lifetimes!"
