Chapter 1839 Finding A Needle In A Haystack
âDo you think youâre worthy of finding the treasure? The only thing someone like you deserves is to rot in hell!â
âWhether Iâm worthy or not isnât 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! Whatâs more, you know nothing about the grudges between our mothers!
Your mother was the one that harmed my mother! All Iâm doing is seeking justice for my mother⦠If weâre going to settle the score once and for all, shouldnât we include the grudges of the previous generation?â
Noticing the anger in Stevenâs expression, his bodyguard whispered something in his ear.
Heâs right. Thereâs no need to fight to the death with Lucas. Iâm 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!
âIâll spare you this time, Lucas. Rest assured that Iâll find you to settle the score some other time. Iâll make sure you pay for everything that has happened with your pathetic life!â
Lucas snorted. âPathetic? Seeing that we have the same father and his blood runs in our veins, youâre no better than me! Besides, you never know whoâll be the one to walk away alive until the time comes.â
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 caveâs 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, Iâd already learned from Evan that Iâd need Girin Blood to unlock the hidden treasure. That was why I sent people to look into it, and now Iâve found someone who knows something about it. Iâm sure Iâll soon find out where I can get Girin Blood. I already have the key, so once I have Girin Blood, itâs 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 caveâs entrance seemed more welcoming than threatening.
Steven clenched his fists as he observed the confident look on Lucasâ face. If he gets the treasure, Iâm 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. Iâm sure I can plant a spy among his trusted subordinates. As the saying goes, âWhile two dogs fight for a bone, a third dog runs away with it.â I hope you quickly find both those items because Iâll 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.
âI remember someone saying that the person who has Girin Blood is a child! What do you think that child is like?â
Levant glanced at Davin. âIâve heard that the child is full of spiritual energy. Whoever it is, they are probably just as intelligent as Luke.â
âOh⦠Um, yeah! He is intelligent!â Davin said politely, recalling how Luke had recited rhymes and solved equations.
âThat goes without saying. You should ask Zayden to follow his example.â
âZayden? He may act like a clown, but heâs actually very intelligentâ¦â
All parents would praise their children. The grass always seemed greener on the other side when it came to other things, but that saying didnât apply to oneâs children.
Although Davin was strict with Zayden, Levant knew that he loved his son tremendously.
Hence, Levant nodded in agreement at Davinâs words.
âI wonder how our kids have been while weâve been away.â
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 beâ¦
Juan turned to look at Davin incredulously, the image of Zaydenâs plump little face appearing in his mind.
