Unfortunately, it was too expensive for him.Although Thea had given him one million dollars, the jade plate cost more than three million.He carefully placed it back.However, he was incredibly nervous and cautious that he accidentally touched the cabinet and did not have a firm grip on the jade plate, resulting in it falling directly to the ground.Bang!The jade plate shattered into pieces in an instant.“This…”Benjamin was immediately dumbfounded and stood aside, staring at it blankly.Seeing this, Jasmine’s face also darkened. She reprimanded him angrily, “Sir, I already reminded you to be careful. You will have to compensate us according to the selling price if you break it.”“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to drop it.”Benjamin kept apologizing.“Is apologizing going to help? It’s worth three million and eight hundred thousand dollars. You should compensate us according to the price. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave our shop today!”Jasmine threatened him coldly an

“You’re causing trouble without reason. I'm too lazy to bother speaking with you.” James lit a cigarette and ignored Thea.At this moment, Yuri brought Benjamin over to them.“Thea, your father broke a jade plate from six hundred AD to nine hundred AD worth three million eight hundred thousand dollars. I’ll give you a discount. It’ll only be three million and five hundred thousand dollars for it. Then, you can take your father.”Thea was furious when she saw Benjamin’s bruised appearance as several muscular men dragged him. She turned around and blamed, “What are you doing, James? Since you’re here, why did you let my dad get beaten?”Thea knew James’ skills. These muscular men were no match for James at all.James was present in Sovereign Antique Shop but allowed her father to get beaten black and blue.“I’ve already taken action to stop it. He would’ve been hurt even worse if I didn't stop them,” James said indifferently.“You took action? Would my dad get beaten up to this

James held his breath.Cynthia also watched attentively.She was also curious about the contents in the chest that James was willing to spend 100 million to purchase. At the same time, she was also suspicious of why James had the keys to open the chest.Under Cynthia’s gaze, James gently turned the key.Click!A crisp and loud sound resounded.The bronze-colored chest slightly popped open.James' eyes were glued on the chest.Inside the chest was a folded scroll.He carefully took it out.The ancient scroll was made of unique material, keeping it well preserved. At the same time, it was relatively heavy.James unfolded it and spread it out on the table.The ancient scroll was enormous, reaching a length of one meter when it was unfolded.“W-What is this?”Cynthia glanced at the drawings on the ancient scroll and was puzzled.“Is this a scroll of meridians and acupuncture points?” she asked.James carefully observed the scroll.Eighteen little figures were drawn on the

The Emperor smiled and said nothing more.Soon, a man and woman walked toward them. It was James and Cynthia.The Emperor immediately stood up and opened his arms to hug James. “James, what a rare visitor!”James lifted his foot and kicked the Emperor as he said coldly, “Don’t put on an act. You know why I’m here.”The Emperor quickly dodged his kick and took a few steps backward. “What do you mean, James? I’ve no idea why you’ve come to see me,” the Emperor said with a puzzled expression.“You’re James?”A voice sounded.James heard the voice and turned toward the source.A young man in his twenties stood up. He was dressed in a white shirt, looking at him disdainfully.“Who are you?” James frowned. Bobby glanced at James and said calmly, “Bobby Caden.”James' brows furrowed deeper. ‘Who is this person?’The Emperor smiled and said, “James, let me introduce you. This is Bobby from the Cadens of the Ancient Four. His grandfather is your granduncle. Strictly speaking, h

Bobby said fearlessly, “James, you son of a b*tch, you’re a sinner. You better kneel to me right now! Or else, Thea is going to die.”James glared at Bobby. “Never. A man never easily gets on his knees. How could I kneel to a b*stard like you?“Thea used to be my wife, but we’re already divorced. You’re a fool to use her to threaten me.”“Slash her.”Bobby ordered through the phone.Cansington, a construction site.Thea was tied to a chair.The place was heavily guarded by men dressed in black.One of them held a sharp dagger against Thea’s face.When he received the order, he immediately slashed the dagger across her face.A bloody wound instantly appeared on Thea’s left cheek as the knife swiped across her face. Blood began to drip down her cheek, staining her white dress red.She felt severe pain in her face but could only whimper since her mouth was covered.Thea struggled to free herself but was to no avail.Bobby held the phone and shook it in front of James as he sa
