Chapter 1501
James nodded slightly.
Yasmine did not linger for long and hurriedly headed to the underground basement in the courtyard to look for Xavi.“Grand Patriarch.”
Upon arriving at the underground basement, she lowered her head.
“Is something else the matter?” Xavi asked coldly.
Yasmine said, “Here’s how it is, Grand Patriarch. You ordered me to sell the family’s businesses, but | believed that money wasworthless to us. So, | contacted James and informed him of my wish to sell the businesses to him. Here’s what | think—we cangive him our family’s lucrative businesses in exchange for the secret of the four paintings left behind by the Prince of OrchidMountain.”
Upon hearing this, Xavi’s face lit up.The four paintings left behind by the Prince of Orchid Mountain...They were passed down a millennium ago. Rumors say that they concealed the secret to immortality.
However, the Lee family’s painting was stolen by none other than Thomas. Xavi would have made his way to the Cadens alreadyif not for the fact that he stood no chance against him. Back then, during the Mount Thunder Conference, not even the combinedforces of the three families could defeat Bennett and Tobias. In the end, James showed up and even killed the Johnstons’ familyhead. Only then did the other three families quiet down.
“| wish to see him in person.”
Xavi stood up and left the underground basement.
In the Lees’ living room...
Quincy was chit-chatting with Xiomara. Meanwhile, James was conversing with Maxine in whispers.
Soon, a fifty-year-old-looking man walked in. He was wearing an ancient white robe with a lifelike dragon embroidered onto it.“Hahaha... James!”
Before Xavi even approached them, his voice boomed.
Then, he walked over to the sofa and took his seat. Looking at James, he praised, “Though you’re young, you managed to crossinto the eighth rank. In the future, you will definitely reach the ninth rank.”
James had seen Xavi before. However, the last time they met, Xavi looked like his life was hanging by a thread. Now, however,he was much more youthful, and he looked more energetic and spirited than ever.
“You flatter me.” James smiled.Xavi cut to the chase and asked, “I heard from Yasmine that you intend to purchase the Lees’ businesses?”“That’s my plan.”
Xavi’s expression turned grim, and he said, “James, my conditions are simple. | need you to return the painting that was stolenfrom us by the Cadens.”
Upon hearing this, James smiled bitterly, and he said, “I’m afraid I’m incapable of accomplishing such a feat. After all, it was mygrandfather who stole the painting, not me. Besides, | can’t locate his current whereabouts at the moment.”
Looking at James, Xavi uttered word by word, “In that case, have you seen the Four Ancient Paintings?”James shook his head, “No, I’ve only seen the Cadens’ Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.”
“Then, have you unraveled the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge? Has your grandfather unraveled the mystery ofthe Four Ancient Paintings?”
