Chapter 1604 A Treasure Map
That was something Evan remembered clearly as well. Everything of that incident flashed across his mind as if he was watching a movie.
After getting the coffer, he had then led his bodyguards back to the hotel. However, he encountered someone he knew on his way back. That person was drunk, so he did not think much as he snatched the coffer from the bodyguard’s hands and asked, “What is this? Where did you get this?”
Evan knew that the coffer was something important, so he had told him that it was something he had gotten from an antique marketplace.
After that, Evan had even deliberately gone to several antique marketplaces to keep up with the lie. A few trips later, rumors of how he loved antiques began to spread.
Evan did not bother explaining it and he just let the rumors continue.
After that, that drunk person unintentionally let slip about the odd coffer Evan had gotten from the marketplace to others.
Thus, several had tried to find out more about the coffer Evan possessed. That was why he had used the counterfeit he had given to Steven to deal with that matter.
Those who were well-versed with antiques would realize that the counterfeit was not the real Redgold Dragon Coffer. Still, that matter soon settled down.
As for whether Steven wanted the Redgold Dragon Coffer or its counterfeit…
Evan guessed that Steven wanted the real Redgold Dragon Coffer. However, the latter was not familiar with antiques—he had probably only seen the Redgold Dragon Coffer’s picture, so he thought that the counterfeit was a real one and had merrily accepted it that night.
Now that Evan thought about it, he realized that, other than being a treasure, there must be another reason for the Redgold Dragon Coffer to be wanted by so many people.
With that thought in mind, Evan narrowed his eyes and looked at Faye.
“Is there a secret about the coffer? Is that secret why disaster had befallen upon your family?”
Faye was quiet for a moment.
Since my grandfather said that the coffer is destined to be with Evan, and it is currently with Evan, it’s all right to be truthful with him. He’s the owner of the coffer now. He should learn about it.
“You’re right. That coffer is a treasure, and so is the thing inside it. Supposedly, an ancient key rests within that coffer. Rumor has it, the key is the key to another mysterious treasure. There are medical books, the art of combat books, the art of war books, and many more countless riches in there. The one who gets them will become the richest and the most powerful man in the world.”
“What treasure can be that impressive? There are even medical books in there? How long does it date back to? Do they have anything on reviving the dead?” Nicole curiously asked.
Ever since she had started running Bernian Hospital, she had seen one too many scenes of separation between life and death. In the face of the grim reaper, humans were merely ants.
If there really was a book on the resurrection, she would be able to finally snatch the dying ones from the hands of the grim reaper and keep them alive.
Faye mulled over her words and replied, “Mrs. Seet, I don’t know what medical books there are. I’ve only heard my grandfather mention it briefly. According to him, the things in there are peculiar and wonderful ones. Perhaps there are really books about resurrecting the dead.”
Evan snorted. “If a book like that really exists, then there will be no deaths in this world. I think your grandfather might have wrongly placed his belief in the rumors. There is no such miraculous book in this world.”
Faye hummed. “Maybe, but I’ve seen the treasure map before. Maybe it really does exist. Perhaps the treasure there isn’t that great, but it’s definitely there.”
“A treasure map? Where did you see that?”
“It was together with the Redgold Dragon Coffer, but the treasure map was lost afterward. It’s still missing now.”
It’s lost?
Nicole lowered her eyes and ruminated about it. “I think that the ones after the Redgold Dragon Coffer will know where the treasure map is.”
Evan nodded in agreement. “That is a reasonable assumption. Maybe the treasure map is in their hands right now.”
“Steven wants the Redgold Dragon Coffer. Is it possible that he has the treasure map?” Nicole asked.
Evan narrowed his eyes. “Things will be much easier if he does. We’ll get it as long as we want it.”
