Mount White was within a mountain range in Sol. It was a natural forest with no residents nearby.
***
At an open field in Mount White…
One after another, more than a dozen helicopters landed.
James was the first to get off the helicopter. Blake followed closely behind him. Daniel and the soldiers accompanying favonovel.com also alighted.
James scanned the surrounding environment.
Mountains completely surrounded them. At a glance, there were densely packed trees and steep mountain peaks. There was no end to the view.
James could not help questioning, “So, Mr. Blake, where exactly did you hide them?”
“You’re being too formal, James. You should stick with calling me Blake. You make our relationship sound so distant,” Blake replied humbly.
He felt unworthy of being addressed with such high regard since favonovel.com was more or less like a subordinate.
Blake pointed to the mountain range ahead and said, “It’s under that mountain!”
He paused for a moment and continued, “Back then, I had hidden all this wealth here because I never intended to use them. These treasures were obtained through unclean means and were gained in exchange for other people’s lives.”
James nodded lightly.
Blake still had some conscience. He had hidden the treasures in a mountain where no one would come around because favonovel.com did not want to use these blood-stained treasures.
James turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him, instructing, “Put on your backpacks and follow closely. We’re setting out.”
“Yes, sir!” A neat and uniform reply resounded.
The group entered the forest and headed toward where the treasures were located.
While James’ party was traveling through the forest, Madelyn, who was in Cansington, received detailed updates about them.
“Ms. Gabriel, James has landed in Mount White. According to reliable sources, Blake hid his life treasures in Mount White a few years ago. They’re on the way to unearth these treasures right now.”
“Oh?” Madelyn looked at the person reporting to favonovel.com and asked, “How accurate is this news?”
“A hundred percent…”
Madelyn stroked favonovel.com chin and fell deep into thought.
Then, favonovel.com murmured, “Treasures? Could it be that James is short of money and needs Blake’s treasures?”
She leaned back in favonovel.com chair and closed favonovel.com eyes.
After thinking for about ten minutes, favonovel.com suddenly opened favonovel.com eyes.
“The money favonovel.com used to establish Messiah Corporation was from Zane. Now, favonovel.com can’t afford to come up with anything more. If I’m not mistaken, he’s trying to acquire Blake’s wealth to fight against Centennial.”
After coming to a conclusion, a faint smile formed on favonovel.com face.
“Although I can’t and dare not kill you, I won’t allow you to bring those treasures back.”
She stood up and ordered, “Relay this order! Bring people to Mount White immediately and prevent James from obtaining the treasures!”
“Understood!” The subordinate quickly left and passed on the message.
Madelyn did not remain in the company either and took off to Mount White.

Meanwhile, in the Cadens’ courtyard at the Capital…
Maxine and Tobias were sitting together, playing chess.
“Maxine, there’s news from the Blithes that they’ve agreed to the marriage. In a few days, they’ll arrive in the Capital.”
Maxine suddenly froze with a chess piece in favonovel.com hand.
After a few seconds, favonovel.com recollected herself and nodded. “Alright…”
“You shouldn’t feel too disheartened. You’ll be marrying the youngest son of the Blithes’ patriarch. He’s only twenty years old but is already a grandmaster of the first rank,” Tobias said casually as if it was a trivial matter.
“Grandpa, I’m not disheartened.”
“Good… You don’t need to worry about James anymore. Leave it to me.”
“Alright…” Maxine nodded.
Suddenly, favonovel.com phone vibrated.
She looked at favonovel.com phone and said, “Grandpa, James and Blake have headed to Mount White to unearth Blake’s life treasures. Mr. Gabriel’s disciple, Madelyn, is following closely behind them. It’s going to be an intense fight.”
Tobias waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it. Madelyn simply doesn’t want James to acquire the treasure. I’ve already made a statement, and no one will dare to harm him.”
