Chapter 67
With the door shut, John went straight to the point and said, “After the criminal investigation department caught Carlos, they interrogated him oversight. Turns out, he wan’t onlyinned in a murder but was also caught in tomb raiding
“Unfortunately, he merely admitted to the murder, but he kept quiet about the stolen artifacts.”
Will asked, “Could he have sold everything?
John shook his head. “Even if he sold the artifacts, it must have been just a few of them. We checked his bank account from the past few years and saw that his income came from the earnings from his business.”
However, the money he used to start his company was indeed from selling the artifacts.
Just the thought of those artifacts being sold made john look visibly upset.
spencer cut off john and started spilling the beans. He said, “Carlos surely has some artifacts left, and his cronies must have some as well. These artifacts are part of our nation’s cultural heritage, Madison
“As the testaments of our histories, they are also treasures lett behind by our ancestors. It’d be devastating they were destroyed ”
As Spencer broke, his eyes got teary. What people in their field dreaded most was the thief of ancient tombs. It was heartbreaking for them to witness tomb after tomb bring rabbed and artifacts being destroyed or sold overseas.
Sering their reactions, Madison felt a star of emotion. “If youneed help, don’t hesitate to ask “
At that moment, Erwin chimed in, “Since Carlos kept quiet. Mr. Zurlos approached me, hoping could make him tell us where the attacks were.”
He shook his head and added, “Unfortunately, my cultivation doesn’t cut. After seeing Gulos, knew couldn’t get him to talk. That’s why we came to you for help”
Erwin had been keeping an eye on Madison for awhile. Hemissed the previous livestream because he was tied up with other things After John reached out to him, hechecked out some clips posted by the tans online
He knew Madison’s cultivation was superior to his
Erwin could tell Culos had committed morder with his divination, but he couldn’t figure out the destiny thing at the later part of the livestream. It was only after Madison explained the station that he finally understood it
Madison replied, “Sur thing!
Tveryone in the study was flabbergasted
Even William was taken aback. “Do you make the gravity of the matter, Madde? This is a big deal
Madison beamed. “understand. That’s why I agree to ”
John was caught off guard for a moment, then eagerly took Madison’s hand. “Thank you so much, Madison No matter how everything turns out, your effort is truly appreciated.”
The rest of the people in the discussion were thrilled
Teeling awkward about John’s enthusias, Madison polled her hand away. “There’s no time to waste. Let’s head out now.”
John nodded in agreement. “Let’s get going”
Time was ticking 11 Carlos‘ cronies caught wind of this, it wouldbea dicaster if they were to destroy or sell the artdacts.
Vincent chatted with Harvey downstairs.
Harvey learned from Vinçent that John had approached Erwin. The latter then pointed John to Madison. Since they couldn’t just walk in, they reached out to Vincent instead.
Vincent sipped his color, “I don’t have much of a connection with Mr. Zurlos. We only crossed paths once at a business event!
He was quite surprised to receive John’s call
Sitting next to them, Rebecca sweetly asked, “What does Mr. Zurlos wat with Maddie, Mr. Salle? What can she do for him?”
Vincent held his cup and chuckled “Well Thave no idea about that”
He had a hunch about it but kept it to himself.
After all, he had watched every bit of Madison’s livestream the other day on top of that, John had mentioned Carlos earlier. After relating that to the people john introduced, it all clicked for him
Harvey had a rough idea as well.
They locked eyes for a moment and then simultaneously booked away. Some things were meant to be understood, not said out loud.
Rebecca bir her lower lip and plopped down next to Harvey. She playfully nudged his arm. “Please tell me, Harvey. I really want to know, and I promise won’t tell anyone.”
“I’m not trying to keep it from you I genuinely don’t have a clue”
Rebecca was speechless.
As expected, alter Madison’s return, Harvey stopped doting on Rebecca He didn’t even tell her something so trivial
All the talk about her being the princess of the Locke family and being treated equally as Madison was just ber show. At the end of the day, she didn’t share the same blood as the rest of the Lockes.
With a hati, Rebecca stomped her foot and went up the stairs.
After Rebecca disappeared to the second Boor, Vincent turned to Harvey and earnestly said, “You need to be stricter with Rebecca You can’t keep spoing her endlessly like before. It’s not helping her
Harvey nodded. “Yeah, you’re right.”
