Chapter 332 The Secret of Flower Residence

Alistair recounted a past event.

He explained the origins of the Four Great Families.

Larry frowned.

There was no record of this person in history.

He looked at Alistair and asked, "Who exactly is Victor Veil?"

Alistair shook his head.

He didn't know who Victor Veil was either.

"A figure from a thousand years ago, how would I know? Not only do I not know, but even the ancient texts of the Four Great Families have very few records of Victor Veil."

Sirius said with a stern face, "Wystan, why are you wasting words with him?"

Alistair waved his hand slightly and said, "Sirius, Larry is a descendant of the Bennett Family, he should know the history of the Bennett Family. Besides, what I'm saying isn't a secret."

Sirius fell silent.

Right now, he couldn't muster any strength in his arm; it was already broken.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the people he had arranged in Sunset City to get the box unearthed from Victor Veil's Tomb at the Imperial Residence. Then he would leave and find a place to heal.

Alistair continued, "I only know that Victor Veil was a figure from a thousand years ago. He collected treasures and wealth from all over the world. Before he died, he entrusted four treasure maps to four of his subordinates for safekeeping."

"Legend has it that these four maps hide a great secret. Victor Veil didn't want the four maps to come together, so he separated them."

"But he didn't say how to unlock the secret of the four maps."

"Until recent decades, people from the Four Great Families sorted through ancient texts and discovered that the key to unlocking the secret of the four maps was in Victor Veil's Tomb, in a small box. So, the Four Great Families spent decades locating Victor Veil's Tomb."

Larry listened to this unknown history intently.

He was just puzzled about how the meridian diagrams in the small copper box were related to the four maps.

He had seen the Artwork of Moonlit.

It was just a landscape painting.

There were mountains, water, and a bamboo house.

Other than that, there was nothing special about it.

Alistair continued to speak, "Back then, Victor Veil divided his wealth among the Four Great Families. The Four Great Families lived comfortably on the wealth left by Victor Veil. But in modern times, the wealth of the Four Great Families has nearly run out, so they started doing business. Now, each of the Four Great Families is very wealthy."

Larry glanced at Alistair and pressed, "Who gave the tomb raiding gang the address of Victor Veil's Tomb?"

Alistair spread his hands and said, "How would I know?"

"Then why were your people at Victor Veil's Tomb, trying to steal the box?"

"Larry, you can't make baseless accusations. I know nothing about this. What do you mean by 'my people'? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Alistair hurriedly defended himself.

Larry didn't ask further.

Although Alistair denied it, he knew that the box was indeed taken by Alistair's people.

The person was named Kairo, very powerful, and was Alistair's subordinate.

Esmeralda had been listening all along.

Hearing these stories, she was also very curious and couldn't help but ask, "What secret do the four maps left by Victor Veil hide?"

Alistair spread his hands.

Sirius glanced at the two of them and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if I tell you. The Bennett Family has always had a saying: unlocking the secret of the Artwork of Moonlit will grant immortality."

Larry scoffed.

Immortality? How was that possible?

He studied medicine and was very proficient in it.

He knew that human cells have a lifespan. Even with his medical skills, he could only live longer, but at most to a hundred years.

Now Sirius was telling him such an absurd thing as immortality.

"Really?" Esmeralda looked surprised.

Sirius shook his head and said, "How would I know? It's just a saying passed down in the Family."

Saying this, Sirius snorted coldly, "Why am I even telling you this?"

He closed his mouth and said no more.

Larry was also thinking.

Thinking about the truth of Alistair and Sirius's words.

The atmosphere at the scene became strange.

Time passed by the minute.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.

At this moment, Sirius's phone rang. He answered the call.

"Sirius, we have the item."

Sirius said nothing, hung up the phone, and stood up to leave.

Larry immediately stood up, blocking his way, and said coldly, "You've got what you wanted. Release Chloe, or you won't leave here today."

"Fool, you think you can stop me?"

Sirius's face darkened, and a terrifying aura erupted from him. He raised his movable hand and struck at Larry.

Larry raised his hand to block.

"Fool, you dare to fight back? Do you want Chloe to die?"

Hearing this, Larry immediately stopped.

He took a punch to the chest, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground, his face showing pain.

He struggled to stand up.

Sirius walked towards him step by step.

"What are you going to do?"

Esmeralda quickly stood up, blocking Sirius, and said, "You are Family, can't you talk it out? Why resort to violence?"

Sirius looked at the standing Larry and said coldly, "Larry, I'll let you go this time. Live well. The Bennett Family's enforcers will find you sooner or later and eliminate the traitors within the Family."

After saying this, he turned to leave.

"Release Chloe," Larry demanded.

Sirius laughed loudly, "If you want to save Chloe, it depends on whether you have the ability. Go back to Sunset City immediately, and you might still save her. If you're late, then prepare to collect her body."

Sirius laughed as he left.

Larry clenched his fists, veins bulging on his face, looking fierce and terrifying.

"Sirius, I warn you, if she loses a single hair, I won't let you off."

Larry turned and left.

Esmeralda followed him.

Alistair sat in the pavilion, watching the departing people. He poured a cup of tea and murmured softly, "If the item falls into the Bennett Family's hands, it will be troublesome to get it back. But it's better than being in Larry's hands."

Larry must die.

If Larry didn't die, his plan couldn't proceed.

But if the box were still in Larry's hands, then Larry couldn't die.

So, he came up with a plan.

Spread the news, let it reach the Bennett Family, and let them retrieve the box.

After all, the Artwork of Moonlit is in the Bennett Family. With the items in the box, the secret of the map can be unlocked.

When his plan succeeds, he will find a way to seize the Artwork of Moonlit and even the other treasure maps from the other families to unlock the secret left by Victor Veil.

"Immortality, how exciting."

Alistair took a sip of tea, then took out a phone and dialed a mysterious number.

"The plan can be executed."

"Understood."

A hoarse voice came from the phone.
