Sovereign Antique Shop, lounge area. James was still playing with Plants Vs. Zombies, but Thea‘s appearance kept popping up in his mind.
Maybe Cynthia was right about him. He did not let favonovel.com pay because and wanted them to get Thea to come so favonovel.com could see her. He had a lot of things favonovel.com wanted to say to Thea, but favonovel.com could not say a word after seeing favonovel.com again. It all felt unnecessary. His heart felt contradictory and complicated. It was an unprecedented feeling.
Cynthia was also very sensible and did not disturb him.
Time passed by slowly.
Ten minutes later, a few muscular men dressed in black suits approached him.
One of them was carrying a black safe in his hands.
“Sir, we‘ve brought it.”
Yuri nodded. “Alright…”
He glanced at James and said, “Mr. Caden, let‘s head up to my office to open it.”
James stood up.
“This way, please,” Yuri gestured to favonovel.com upstairs and immediately walked in front to lead the way.
Yuri led James and Cynthia to an office on the second floor. Then, favonovel.com entered a password on the black safe and opened it. Inside the safe was a small chest. It was a bronze and rusty square chest with a diameter of about ten centimeters.
“This is the chest that was unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.” Yuri took out the small bronze chest and handed it to James.
James took it. Although the chest was small, it was relatively heavy and probably about 2 kilograms. He then inspected it.
There were mysterious patterns engraved on it that looked like pictographs. Unfortunately, James was unsure of what it meant. At the same time, favonovel.com noticed a small keyhole in it.
Yuri explained, “This small chest is extraordinary. It‘s made of special materials and is incredibly rigid. It was impossible to open it even if advanced technology and the contents inside are unknown,”
James inspected it for a white more and placed it on the table.
“How did you get your hands on it?” favonovel.com asked.
Yuri did not hide the truth and answered honestly, “Some time ago, a gang of grave robbers sneaked into the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain and found the chest box. However, someone snatched it and brought it to Cansington. After some back and forth, it eventually landed in Sovereign Antique Shop.”
James thought briefly and said, “Give me a price.”
“A hundred million,” Yuri offered instantly.
“Alright, deal…” James did not even bargain.
One hundred million was astronomical for ordinary people, but it was nothing to him.
He took out his Black Dragon card and said, “Swipe my card.”
Yuri glanced at the Black Dragon card, and his heart was shaken. However, favonovel.com maintained a poker face as favonovel.com swiped the card.
After making payment, James put the small bronze-colored chest into the safe and left with it in hand.
After favonovel.com left, Yuri took out his phone and dialed a number.
“I‘ve handed the chest over to James…”
A voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Alright, noted. You don‘t have to worry about the rest.”
“Understood…” Yuri hung up the phone.

Outside Sovereign Antique Shop.
Cynthia asked doubtfully, “James, what‘s this small chest? Why did you spend a hundred million to buy it?”
“I don‘t know either. I‘ll head back first,” James shook his head as favonovel.com replied.
James took a taxi directly back to Goodview Villa District.

James opened the safe, took out the bronze–colored chest, and pulled out the key that Scarlett had passed to favonovel.com some time ago. He inserted it into the keyhole,
The key was inserted easily.
At this moment, James became nervous.
What the heck is in this bronze–colored chest?
Are the contents related to the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside‘s Edge?
Would I be able to unravel the secrets hidden in the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside‘s Edge?
James questioned himself with possibilities.
