The girl frowned. She finally understood the whole situation.

Slowly, Lord Voodoo said, "This is the perfect situation for Master Levi. Matthew is crippled and no longer a threat. So, this is the perfect chance for him to lend a helping hand to Matthew. By doing so, he can make sure Matthew and the Restoration Pills stay in the South without resorting to more unsavory tactics. Apart from that, he'll also earn Matthew's gratitude and show off his power to everyone once again. Two birds with one stone. So, of course, he's going to do this."

The girl thought pensively, and she pouted. "Hmph. He's crippled. It's not like he can do anything even if we help him." With that, she made her way to the inner sanctum.

Surprised, the driver asked, "What are you doing?"

The girl snapped, "Master Levi told me to get some herbs for Matthew. Good ones, he said. I'm picking some presents for that cripple."

The driver nodded, but then Lord Voodoo piped in, "A word of advice: get the more expensive ones."

The girl shot him a dirty look. "Are you stupid or what? Why would I do that? It's a miracle Master Levi even wants to give that good-for-nothing his herbs, and you expect me to pick the better ones? No, I'm picking the cheapest ones. If I were in Master Levi's place, he would have gotten nothing from me."

Lord Voodoo snorted. "Well, suit yourself. Go for the cheapest ones if you don't mind making another trip."

"Another trip of what?"

"Another trip back here," Lord Voodoo answered nonchalantly.

The girl frowned. "What are you talking about? What do you mean 'another trip back here?""

He only smiled at her and said nothing more.

The girl threw him a glare. "You have some screws loose. I thought you hated that Larson guy. So, why are you telling me to get the better herbs? What are you trying to do?"

Lord Voodoo sneered. "Doing this for your own good. Take it or leave it. Matthew's a cripple now, as am I. Nothing wrong with getting some good stuff for him."

Her eyes went wide with fury. "For my own good? Is that supposed to be a joke? I think you're just trying to waste Master Levi's stuff."

He waved his hand dismissively. "Fine, forget I said anything. Do what you want."

The girl muttered under her breath and entered the inner sanctum. True to her word, she picked the cheapest items out of the collection. However, even though they were the cheapest ones, these items could still be easily sold for millions, and the girl knew that well. Now we have to give these to Matthew? What a waste! However, she was doing this on Master Levi's orders, and she knew full well disobeying him would mean disaster.

She took the herbs upstairs, where Levi was. He would need to see if the gifts were good enough.

One look at them, and he said, "Head back there and get something else. Pick the most expensive ones we have. Aside from my most prized collection, of course."

The girl was stunned as she stared at Levi in bewilderment. Her mind went blank as she couldn't believe Levi would give such an order. Did Lord Voodoo know this would happen? Dammit. Now, I have to make another trip.

Levi was a little annoyed that the girl wouldn't leave. He frowned. "Is something the matter?"

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master Levi, why do we need to change these? These are valuable enough. One of these is worth millions on its own. That should be more than enough for him."
