Holding the key in his hand, James scrutinized it.
“What does the treasure chest unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid at the border ofthe Southern Plains have to do with the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge?”
James muttered silently.
He believed it was not a coincidence that Scarlett had bumped into him while having the key on her.
He had been trailing a murderous intent he sensed when he encountered Scarlett. However, themurderous intent disappeared when he reached the underground parking lot. It was there where hemet Scarlett.
He was sure she was not the one with the murderous intent. novelbin
James believed someone else had arranged for it. He had been watching on the sidelines since thebeginning of the grave robbery. He exterminated everyone and instructed Scarlett to bring the key toCansington and to allow the box to be carried away all over the place.

Whew!
James took a deep breath.
The first step to getting to the bottom of this was to locate the box. By opening the box and finding outwhat was in it, he would understand its relationship with the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.” Aftercontemplating for a while, James spoke, “Mr. Quinn,” “Yes, James?” Newton nodded.
James continued, “You’ve been by my grandfather’s side for decades. Even after the incident, youreturned to bury the Cadens even though you risked getting caught. Since I didn’t reward you withanything, I’ll offer you the businesses that used to belong to the Cadens.” “I can’t accept your gift,James.” Newton stood up immediately and hurriedly waved. “James, this is too big of a gift. I cannotaccept it.”
James lightly waved and interrupted Newton, “To me, money isn’t everything. But it’s different for you.You have a family to feed, after all.”
“I…”
“Alright now, you can bring your family to Cansington. After that, you can officially take over the formerbusinesses of the Cadens from the Great Four. The Cadens were once the most influential family inCansington and had a combined wealth of fifty billion dollars. These should be enough for the rest ofyour life.”
“T – Thank you, James.”
Now that Newton knew of James’ identity as one of the five commanders and that he was not in direneed of money, he accepted his offer.
“Mhm. You may return first. Go to Henry at Common Clinic on Nine Dragons Street if you ever needanything.
“Yes.”
Newton stood and bowed at James.

The Black Dragon General of the SouthernPlains?” Newton nodded. “He should be the real deal. Who besides the Black Dragon would becapable of convincing the Blithe king to mobilize a hundred-thousand strong army?” “Grandpa, are wereally going to take over the former businesses of the Cadens?” Newton momentarily froze. “Not quite.We’re just helping James manage them.”
“Oh.”
Serena turned to have a glimpse of the House of Royals behind her. “James, Black Dragon…” Shemuttered silently. At the House of Royals, James was smoking cigarettes on the sofa. Henry asked,“James, what should we do next?” James’ face darkened. Though he had avenged his family, he stilldid not know who the main culprit behind the incident was. He also did not know the whereabouts ofthe Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.
He thought about it and said, “Urge Jake Graham to speed up his intelligence gathering. I want to knowthe whereabouts of the treasure chest that had entered the antique market in Cansington as soon aspossible.” “Roger that.”
“No need to hurry. Today’s the Mid-Autumn Festival. You’re an orphan too. Let’s go out and have adrink, just you and me.”
“James, aren’t you going to accompany Thea?” “Thea had gone to the Callahans’ villa. I sneaked out todeal with the problem when the opportunity presented itself. It’s still early. Let’s go.” Jamac ctnnd vinand left the Honce nf Royals with Henn
