Chapter 640
“Young man, this chest isn’t an ordinary one. We keep it in a bank safe. I will have to request approval
from my boss if you want to see it. However, not everyone is allowed to take a look at it. How about you
leave an identity for me so I can talk to iny boss about it.”
Before James spoke, Cynthia interrupted, “I’m from the Dawns of the North. My father is Zane Dawn.”
“Alright. I’ll inform my boss right away. The two of you can continue looking around the shop.”
Afterward, the old man left.
Cynthia pulled James and said, “Let’s look around for a bit, James.”
“Alright.” James nodded lightly. The old man went to an office on the third floor and gently knocked on
the door. “Come in.”
A voice sounded from inside the office.
The old man pushed open the door and walked inside the office. He said respectfully, “Boss, there is
someone here to ask about the chest unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid
Mountain.”
“Has he finallye? It’s been so long, and I was starting to get tired of waiting. Was it James?”
A middle-aged man in his forties sat at the desk in the office. Hearing the news, he looked at the old
man standing beside him with a smile. “Yes, It’s James. He came along with the daughter of Zane
Dawn from the North.”
“Alright. You head back to work first.”
“Understood.”
The old man turned and left.

The middle-aged man was Sovereign Antique Shop’s boss, Yuri.
He was also working under the Emperor. The chest was already at Sovereign Antique Shop. They
deliberately released the rumors so James woulde to take the chest, but he never came After the
old man left, Yuri took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Emperor, James has shown up at the shop asking for the ancient box unearthed from the ancient tomb
of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”
“Give it to him.”
A voice came sounded from the other end of the phone.
“Understood.” After Yuri received the order, he hung up the phone and ordered someone to get the
ancient box from the bank safe. At the same time, the Emperor, who was far away in a country of the
Southern ins’ borders, gentled and massaged his forehead.
“James, James. I really want to kill you, but I f*cking can’t.”
The Emperor had a headache. James had interfered with his ns. Without him dead, it would be hard
to carry out his ns. However, James had shown up at the Sovereign Antique Shop to inquire about
the chest. The Emperor was unsure of what was inside the chest.
Neither did he have the key to open it. Yet, he knew what was hidden in the chest could unlock the
secrets of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge. The Prince of Orchid Mountain was a historical
figure from a thousand years ago. The four great families were the four major officials serving the
Prince of Orchid Mountain a thousand years ago. Before the death of the Prince of Orchid Mountain, he
left four paintings behind, saying that there was a great secret hidden within them.
Each official was given one for safekeeping.
However, the secrets within the paintings remained a mystery. The four great families have been trying
to unravel the secrets hidden in the paintings for countless years but have never seeded. It was not
until ten years ago that someone dug out the ancient scrolls handed down by the families and found
the answers within them.
To unravel the secrets of the four paintings, an item from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid
Mountain had to be retrieved.
This item was the key to unlocking the secrets of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.
Only after unraveling the secrets of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge would the secrets within the
remaining three paintings be revealed.
Neither the Emperor nor anyone within the four great families knew what could be obtained from
unraveling the secrets.
