Maybe Cynthia was right about him. He did not let her pay because and wanted them to get Thea tocome so he could see her.
He had a lot of things he wanted to say to Thea, but he could not say a word after seeing her again.
It all felt unnecessary. His heart felt contradictory and complicated. It was an unprecedented feeling.
Cynthia was also very sensible and did not disturb him.
Time passed by slowly. Ten minutes later, a few muscular men dressed in black suits approached him.One of them was carrying a black safe in his hands.
“Sir, we‘ve brought it.” Yuri nodded.
“Alright.” He glanced at James and said, “Mr. Caden, let‘s head up to my office to open it.” James stoodup.
“This way, please,” Yuri gestured to him upstairs and immediately walked in front to lead the way. Yuriled James and Cynthia to an office on the second floor.
Then, he entered a password on the black safe and opened it. Inside the safe was a small chest. It wasa bronze and rusty square chest with a diameter of about ten centimeters.
“This is the chest that was unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.” Yuri tookout the small bronze chest and handed it to James.
James took it. Although the chest was small, it was relatively heavy and probably about 2 kilograms.He then inspected it.
There were mysterious patterns engraved on it that looked like pictographs. Unfortunately, James wasunsure of what it meant. At the same time, he noticed a small keyhole in it. Yuri explained, “This smallchest is extraordinary. It‘s made of special materials and is incredibly rigid. It was impossible to open iteven if advanced technology and the contents inside are unknown,”
James inspected it for a white more and placed it on the table.
“How did you get your hands on it?” he asked.
Yuri did not hide the truth and answered honestly, “Some time ago, a gang of grave robbers sneakedinto the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain and found the chest box, However, someonesnatched it and brought it to Cansington. After some back and forth, it eventually landed in SovereignAntique Shop.”
James thought briefly and said, “Give me a price.”
“A hundred million,” Yuri offered instantly.
“Alright, deal.”
James did not even bargain.
One hundred million was astronomical for ordinary people, but it was nothing to him.
He took out his Black Dragon card and said, “Swipe my card.”
Yuri glanced at the Black Dragon card, and his heart was shaken. However, he maintained a pokerface as he swiped the card.
After making payment, James put the small bronze–colored chest into the safe and left with it in hand.
After he left, Yuri took out his phone and dialed a number.
“I‘ve handed the chest over to James.”novelbin
A voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
“Alright, noted. You don‘t have to worry about the rest.”
“Understood.”
Yuri hung up the phone. Outside Sovereign Antique Shop.
Cynthia asked doubtfully, “James, what‘s this small chest? Why did you spend a hundred million to buyit?” “I don‘t know either. I‘ll head back first,” James shook his head as he replied. James took a taxidirectly back to Goodview Villa District.
