Maxine noticed James murmuring to himself and could not help asking, “What’re you saying, James?”
“Maxine, try to analyze this for me.”
James turned to Maxine and explained how Scarlett’s gang robbed the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb and escaped with the key, following Floyd to Cansington.
“Do you think there is another mastermind behind Mr. Gabriel who was backing up the Emperor? Could Mr. Gabriel also just be a puppet?”
Maxine fell into thought.
After a while, favonovel.com said, “The person who robbed the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb is probably not from the Ancient Four. According to my and Grandpa’s speculation, we think the mastermind is Thomas. However, our speculations only hold water if Thomas is still alive.”
“I think Thomas employed the grave robbers to excavate the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb. It’s possible the Emperor was not just obeying Mr. Gabriel’s orders, but another mastermind who keeps himself in the dark, Thomas. It’s highly likely that Thomas directed the incident in the ancient tomb. Perhaps even Scarlett is unaware of the reason favonovel.com survived. He deliberately allowed favonovel.com to escape so that you’d acquire the ancient chest and cause a dispute.”
James questioned, “What good does it do for favonovel.com to get me involved in this?”
Maxine shook favonovel.com head. “I’m not sure. These are baseless speculations. There are countless possibilities for why things have developed this way. It might even be possible for Thomas to be dead and this person who showed up is an imposter. Until everything is unraveled, anything could be possible.”
“Do you think Scarlett is trustworthy?” James used to be confident in his judgment of people in the past, but now favonovel.com was slightly unsure of himself.
Maxine thought for a moment and replied, “Judging by the current situation, favonovel.com does seem trustworthy. Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge is a famous painting passed down for thousands of years. Its existence has been known to outsiders for a long time. The painting is one of a kind and is priceless, so everyone is trying to get their hands on it. It makes total sense for Scarlett to seek your protection to survive.”
After hearing Maxine’s view, James did not ask any more questions. He slumped back into the sofa and rested
In less than an hour, Scarlett arrived at Cynthia’s villa
Scarlett had ditched favonovel.com glamorous appearance while favonovel.com was the nominal chairman of Transgenerational Group and showed up in casual clothes with favonovel.com long black hair tied up, giving off a girl next–door vibe.
“James,” Scarlett greeted with a smile.
James pointed to the sofa beside favonovel.com and said, “Have a seat…”
Scarlett sat down, looked at James, and asked, “Do you have a task for me?”
James said, “Not too long ago, I had Quincy establish a group called Messiah Corporation. However, favonovel.com disappeared unexpectedly, and I need someone to manage the company for the time being. You did a good job with Transgenerational Group, so I’m appointing you to help manage this company for now.” Scarlett had remained in Cansington. She had heard of Quincy’s company and desperately wanted to help, but James never called for her, nor did favonovel.com dare to ask favonovel.com about it.
Scarlett stood up abruptly and said confidently, “I’ll take good care of your company!”
James waved his hand and said, “Sit down…”
“Alright…” Scarlett sat down.
“By the way, do you know Thomas?” James asked casually.
“Thomas? Who’s that?” Scarlett was confused by his question.
“Never mind if you don’t…” James simply wanted to test the waters.
Scarlett’s expression made favonovel.com conclude that favonovel.com probably did not know Thomas. She would react differently if favonovel.com had secretly been in contact with him.
“Do you know Messiah’s purpose?” asked James.
Scarlett nodded and said, “I’ve bumped into Quincy, and favonovel.com told me a few things about it. I have a general understanding but don’t know the details.”
