James did not hide anything and explained the reason for the company’s establishment.
“The main purpose is to keep an eye on Centennial Corporation and compete against them to seize the domestic pharmaceutical market.”
“Okay.” Scarlett nodded.
“You head to the company to report for work.” James waved his hand and dismissed Scarlett.
The company needed someone to manage it, or else it would cease to operate.
Scarlett did not linger any longer and left after James dismissed her.
After favonovel.com left, James stood up.
Maxine asked, “Are you going to Sovereign Antique Shop?”
James looked at Maxine and thought..
This woman is incredible! She can immediately guess what’s on my mind…
“My admiration for you keeps growing daily. I feel like there’s nothing I can hide from you,” James praised favonovel.com sincerely.
Maxine stood up and said with a smile, “Sovereign Antique Shop is the only clue we have right now, so it wasn’t hard for me to know.”
James nodded and said, “Yeah. I plan to head over and investigate a little. The ancient chest that contained the ancient scroll was stored in Sovereign Antique Shop. The shop’s owner used to be the Emperor’s subordinate. Now that the Emperor is dead, I’ll have to go there and find clues to solve the mysteries.”
“I’ll come with you.”
“Alright.”
Luther came over and asked, “Do you need me to drive you both there?”
James waved his hand and said, “No, just pass me the car keys. We’ll drive ourselves.”
“Can I come with you guys, James?” Cynthia stood up and looked at James pleadingly.
She had been recuperating at home and had not stepped outside for a long time. Now that favonovel.com physical condition had improved, favonovel.com wanted to go for a walk and relax.
James disapproved. “We’re going there for serious business and not to have fun. You still haven’t fully recovered, so just stay home.”
“Fine,” Cynthia replied dejectedly.
Luther handed over the car keys to James. He took the keys and left the villa.
They headed to the garage, got into the car, and headed to Cansington’s antique street.
Soon, they arrived at the antique street and walked into Sovereign Antique Shop.
An employee quickly approached and greeted them. It was the same old man who served James the last time.
“Hey there, Mr. Caden! It’s you again…”
James asked, “Is your boss in today?”
“Yeah, he’s in his office upstairs.”
James said, “I have some questions for him.”
After James finished speaking, favonovel.com headed up the stairs.

Outside the office room…
The door was closed, so James gently knocked on the door. No movements could be heard from the other side.
He knocked again. Still, there was no response.
Maxine said, “Is favonovel.com not inside the office?”
James forcefully pushed open the door and the two walked into the office room.
A middle–aged man dressed in black leather clothing was seen lying lifeless on the desk. James walked closer and immediately noticed the large pool of blood on the floor. The man was shot in the back of his head and died.
“We’re too late…”
James scanned the scene and observed the blood that had dried up on the floor, then, favonovel.com said, “It seems he’s been dead for a few hours.”
Maxine observed the office surroundings and said with a frown, “Could it be that favonovel.com knew some inside information and was silenced?”
