    After she left, James stood up.


    Maxine asked, “Are you going to Sovereign Antique Shop?


    James looked at Maxine. ‘This woman is incredible. She can immediately guess what’s on my mind,’


    he thought.


    “My admiration for you keeps growing daily. I feel like there’s nothing I can hide from you,” James


    praised her sincerely.


    Maxine stood up and said with a smile, “Sovereign Antique Shop is the only clue we have right now, so


    it wasn’t hard for me to know.”


    James nodded and said, “Yeah. I n to head over and investigate a little. The ancient chest that


    contained the ancient scroll was stored in Sovereign Antique Shop. The shop’s owner used to be the


    Emperor’s subordinate. Now that the Emperor is dead, I’ll have to go there and find clues to solve the


    mysteries.”


    “I’lle with you.”


    “Alright.”


    Luther came over and asked, “Do you need me to drive you both there?”


    James waved his hand and said, “No, just pass me the car keys. We’ll drive ourselves.”


    “Can Ie with you guys, James?” Cynthia stood up and looked at James pleadingly.


    She had been recuperating at home and had not stepped outside for a long time. Now that her physical


    condition had improved, she wanted to go for a walk and rx.


    James disapproved. “We’re going there for serious business and not to have fun. You still haven’t fully


    recovered, so just stay home.”


    “Fine,” Cynthia replied dejectedly.


    Luther handed over the car keys to James. He took the keys and left the vi.


    They headed to the garage, got into the car, and headed to Cansington’s antique street.


    Soon, they arrived at the antique street and walked into Sovereign Antique Shop.


    An employee quickly approached and greeted them. It was the same old man who served James the


    last time.


    “Hey there, Mr. Caden! It’s you again.”


    James asked, “Is your boss in today?”


    “Yeah, he’s in his office upstairs.”


    James said, “I have some questions for him.”


    After James finished speaking, he headed up the stairs.


    Outside the office room…


    The door was closed, so James gently knocked on the door. No movements could be heard from the


    other side.


    He knocked again. Still, there was no response.


    Maxine said, “Is he not inside the office?”


    James forcefully pushed open the door and the two walked into the office room.


    A middle–aged man dressed in ck leather clothing was seen lying lifeless on the desk. James


    walked closer and immediately noticed therge pool of blood on the floor. The man was shot in the


    back of his head and died.


    “We’re toote.”


    James scanned the scene and observed the blood that had dried up on the floor. Then, he said, “It


    seems he’s been dead for a few hours.”


    Maxine observed the office surroundings and said with a frown, “Could it be that he knew some inside


    information and was silenced?”
