Chapter 1839 Finding A Needle In A Haystack
“Do you think you’re worthy of finding the treasure? The only thing someone like you deserves is to rot in hell!”
“Whether I’m worthy or not isn’t up to you to decide! The key to unlocking the treasure is with me. If I die, no one will ever know the whereabouts of the key! What’s more, you know nothing about the grudges between our mothers!
Your mother was the one that harmed my mother! All I’m doing is seeking justice for my mother… If we’re going to settle the score once and for all, shouldn’t we include the grudges of the previous generation?”
Noticing the anger in Steven’s expression, his bodyguard whispered something in his ear.
He’s right. There’s no need to fight to the death with Lucas. I’m also not confident of defeating him. Anyway, he has the key to the hidden treasure. The most important thing right now is to get that key!
“I’ll spare you this time, Lucas. Rest assured that I’ll find you to settle the score some other time. I’ll make sure you pay for everything that has happened with your pathetic life!”
Lucas snorted. “Pathetic? Seeing that we have the same father and his blood runs in our veins, you’re no better than me! Besides, you never know who’ll be the one to walk away alive until the time comes.”
Infuriated, Steven had to use every ounce of his self-restraint to suppress his temper. He turned his back toward Lucas and focused his attention on finding out how to unlock the hidden treasure.
Meanwhile, Lucas studied the writing on the right of the cave’s entrance.
Both of them realized at the same time that to unlock the treasure, they needed the key and Girin Blood.
Where on earth am I supposed to find someone who possesses Girin Blood? Steven felt that it was as impossible as finding a needle in a haystack!
On the contrary, Lucas did not seem too surprised. When I first got the key, I’d already learned from Evan that I’d need Girin Blood to unlock the hidden treasure. That was why I sent people to look into it, and now I’ve found someone who knows something about it. I’m sure I’ll soon find out where I can get Girin Blood. I already have the key, so once I have Girin Blood, it’s only a matter of time before I unlock the treasure!
Lucas thought of himself as the rightful owner of the treasure, so much so that even the lifelike image of a dragon carved into the side of the cave’s entrance seemed more welcoming than threatening.
Steven clenched his fists as he observed the confident look on Lucas’ face. If he gets the treasure, I’m doomed. Come to think of it, Lucas had the guts to spy on me for many years. If he can do something like that, so can I. I’m sure I can plant a spy among his trusted subordinates. As the saying goes, ‘While two dogs fight for a bone, a third dog runs away with it.’ I hope you quickly find both those items because I’ll then steal them away from you right in front of your eyes!
Meanwhile, Davin and the others were also discussing the topic of the hidden treasure after escaping from the cave.
“I remember someone saying that the person who has Girin Blood is a child! What do you think that child is like?”
Levant glanced at Davin. “I’ve heard that the child is full of spiritual energy. Whoever it is, they are probably just as intelligent as Luke.”
“Oh… Um, yeah! He is intelligent!” Davin said politely, recalling how Luke had recited rhymes and solved equations.
“That goes without saying. You should ask Zayden to follow his example.”
“Zayden? He may act like a clown, but he’s actually very intelligent…”
All parents would praise their children. The grass always seemed greener on the other side when it came to other things, but that saying didn’t apply to one’s children.
Although Davin was strict with Zayden, Levant knew that he loved his son tremendously.
Hence, Levant nodded in agreement at Davin’s words.
“I wonder how our kids have been while we’ve been away.”
Suddenly, Juan froze in his tracks, replaying what the elderly man had said to him in his mind. He said that the hidden treasure was somehow related to the Seet family. I used to think that my blood could be the key. But now that I think about it, maybe Quest is someone from the Seet family! Could it be…
Juan turned to look at Davin incredulously, the image of Zayden’s plump little face appearing in his mind.
