CHAPTER 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 voiceced 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 n.
    “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 exined.
    “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 nced at Yuri. Gritting his teeth, he finally made up
    his mind. “Okay, I''m willing to give it up as long as you can kill Kawano, Mr. Loufury.”
    Fandorughed 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 ss 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...”
    He carefully put the snow lotus away and said to Ryosuke, “All right, arrange a ce for us to stay. You
    don''t have to worry about the Watanabe family''s affairs anymore.”
    Ryosuke quickly nodded and offered thergest mansion he owned for Fandor and Jared to stay in.
    “Fandor, why do you want a withered snow lotus?” xseed asked, puzzled by the old man''s
    intentions.
    “You don''t understand. I have a way to revive it,” Fandor said.
    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
    He then opened the ss box and poured some wine from a sk at his waist into it.
    xseed and Jared were both befuddled, wondering if Fandor was nning 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, arge amount of spiritual energy began to spread throughout the room, and inhaling it made
    them feel refreshed and happy.
    Seeing this, xseed 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.
