Chapter 935 Human Greed
"Logically speaking, no matter how powerful he is, he should be a junior, but somehow Rowan is so respectful to him as if Coby was his patriarch."
Upon hearing this, Isaac chuckled.
"Don't say that. What if Coby is really his patriarch?"
Jara looked at him with a frown.
"Don't talk nonsense. The situation in the Marsh Family is very complicated. At present, what we see is only the tip of the iceberg. There may be even deeper secrets. Don't talk about it everywhere, and just pretend that you haven't heard of it."
Isaac made a gesture of zipping his mouth, then made an "OK" gesture.
"Got it."
As they chatted among themselves, those who wanted to go up the stage and observe the treasure were done.
After the hostess announced the end of the banquet, everyone went back, feeling unsatisfied.
After that, Jara and Emmeline also left the venue.
To everyone's surprise, the person behind Isaac's treasure-viewing convention this time was actually Jara.
And he also announced the news like dropping a bomb.
Everyone's feelings were complicated, and at the same time, some people's hearts were stirred.
After all, it was a treasure that was rumored to be miraculous by the outside world. Who wouldn't want to explore the secrets in it?
Meanwhile, at this time, Jara and Emmeline were already on their way back to the castle.
It was very quiet in the car, and the driver was Quan. Except for Jara and Emmeline, there was no one else.
Then, Emmeline asked with concern, "Jara, do you think it is effective? Will someone really provide us with clues?"
In a deep voice, he replied, "Yes"
"Why are you so sure?"
As he turned to look at her, his deep eyes sparkled with unfathomable brilliance.
"Because of greed."
"Greed?"
"Yes, everyone knows the story of this treasure, but they didn't know it had 12 pieces at that time, and it needed 12 pieces together to show its special function. Now they had learned the truth, in the face of such a big temptation, no one can resist not knowing the final result. So as long as there is a clue, they will provide it to us."
Hearing his explanation, Emmeline was silent.
Then, she said softly, "I'm just a little scared. I'm afraid that the same thing would happen as it did five years ago that this will set off a bloody feud."
As she spoke, she turned her head and looked out of the window, her gaze drifting far into the distance. It was as if she could see through the thick layers of fog and see through the people and things in the distance.
Jara reached out and grabbed her hand.
In a deep voice, "No, it won't."
His voice was low and hoarse, carrying an inexplicable magnetism as if it could give her a sense of security.
"What happened five years ago is in the past, and now we are stronger than before. No matter how big the storm is, we don't need to be afraid."
After receiving the reassurance, Emmeline turned around and saw his firm gaze, then she smiled.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the castle's gate.
The black carved gate creaked open. Just as the car was about to enter the castle, they suddenly heard a voice.
"Wait a minute! Mr. Holland, wait a minute!"
The two of them were stunned. Jara ordered Quan to stop the car. Then he turned his head around, only to see a middle-aged man running toward them.
He was the one who came to Isaac earlier, who wanted to gift the land to him—Travis Walker.
Jara's eyes darkened slightly as he lowered the window to look at him.
"Mr. Walker, what's the matter?"
Travis's honest and rounded face revealed a friendly smile. With a nod, he said, "Mr. Holland, will you stay true to your words for what you said at the convention?"
The corners of Jara's lips curled up slightly, "Of course, do you have any clues, Mr. Walker?"
Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, Travis replied with a smile, "There are some. If you want to know, I will tell you immediately."
Jara's eyes narrowed.
Instead of asking him to say it now, he ordered Quan, "Open the door and let Mr. Walker in."
Then, he turned to l Travis, who was standing by the car, and said, "If you don't mind, Mr. Walker, would you like to go in and have a drink so we can talk over tea?"
Travis's face lit up with joy, and he quickly agreed. "Sure! Okay, thank you, Mr. Holland."
Travis's business was considered a mid-size business in Blink City.
His real estate business had always been innocuous. He could make money, but at the same time, he would lose a lot. So after so many years of hard work, he had not been able to rise to a high-profile world. At most, he could only be considered a small rich family.
If it was in the past, with a status like his, it was absolutely impossible for him to build any relations with someone like Jara.
It was even more impossible to say that they could enter the castle.
But today was different.
Earlier today, Jara had already sent out a message saying that anyone who could provide any useful clues was free to ask for a favor from him.
As long as this request did not violate his personal principle, he would help him fulfill it.
This was equivalent to an empty-handed check.
Getting a blank check from someone like Jara was equivalent to getting their future paved nicely. How could everyone not be tempted?
It was also because of this that when Jara said that he was willing to let everyone participate in the grand ceremony together, everyone's reaction was calm and indifferent.
But when he said that if he was willing to owe the other party a favor, and that he could fulfill their request, it caused a stir in the crowd.
At this time, Travis stepped into the car carefully. The car drove all the way into the castle. After entering, the scenery inside was beyond his imagination as he stared at them all the way.
He could not help but sigh silently. Although he had heard about the beauty of the castle a long time ago, it was only now that he came in and realized it was true.
The car stopped in front of a building and Quan opened the car door for them. The three got off the car and Jara gestured. "Mr. Walker, please come in."
Travis probably never thought in his life that he would be treated so respectfully by people like Jara.
Hence, he quickly and modestly followed behind. The three of them entered the room together and sat down. Immediately, Uncle Poick personally made tea for them. Then, Jara first took a sip of tea before asking, "Mr. Walker, you were saying you have a clue about the Jade of Heaven?"
At the moment, Travis was drinking tea. When he heard that, he quickly put the cup down, nodding cautiously, and said, "Yes."
"What kind of clues do you have? Tell me about it."
With a gulp, Travis started to recount the story.
It turned out that he had paid special attention to this thing after learning about the effects of the Jade of Heaven.
However, he knew his place, and he did not dare to think about having it as he was not capable of owning it. Even if someone wanted to give it to him, he did not dare to take it.
Therefore, he just paid attention to it quietly. He never thought that it would be found by him one day.
That being said, things happened that way. The more people wanted to find something, the more difficult it was for them to find it.
On the contrary, those who were not eager to look for it would happen to find it coincidentally.
