The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 652
“Really?” Cynthia was surprised. Bobby shook his head and said, “How would I know? It’s just a family myth. In ancient times,
there were rumors of emperors searching the seas to search for immortal medicine and even offering sacrifices to the heavens
to obtain immortality. The topic of immortality in Sol is endless.”
Speaking of this, Bobby snorted coldly.
“Why am I even sharing this with you guys?”
Bobby sealed his lips and said no more.
Meanwhile, James was deep in thought.
He contemplated whether the Emperor and Bobby were telling the truth.
The atmosphere grew tense once again.
Time passed minute by minute.
More than half a day had passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Bobby’s phone rang, and he answered the call. “We’ve retrieved the chest.” Bobby did not reply. He simply hung
up the phone, stood up, and left.
James stood up and blocked him. “You’ve got what you wanted. Let Thea go. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave this place today.”
“You piece of trash, do you think you can stop me?”
Bobby’s face darkened, and a terrifying aura exuded from him. He raised his unharmed hand and swung it at James.
James raised his hand in an attempt to block his attack.
“You trash, how dare you fight back? Do you want Thea to die?”
Hearing this, James immediately withdrew his hand.

James was hit in the chest. He took a few steps back and failed to keep his balance, falling to the ground with a pained
expression.
He struggled to get back on his feet. Bobby walked toward him slowly.
“What are you doing?”
Cynthia stood up and blocked Bobby.
“No matter what, he’s a member of your family. You should use words to settle things, not your fists.”
Bobby glanced at James, who stood up and said coldly, “I’ll spare you today, James. You better live vour best life. The Cadens’
law enforcers will be coming for you sooner or later to eliminate the family traitors.”
After saying that, Bobby turned and left. “Let Thea go,” James shouted.
“Haha...”
Bobby burst out laughing. “That depends on whether you have the ability to save her. You might be able to save her if you rush
back to Cansington right now. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait to collect her corpse if you’re late.” Bobby left with a smile. James
clenched his fists tightly, and veins bulged on his face. He wore a furious and terrifying expression.
“Bobby, I’m warning you. I’ll tear you into pieces if she loses even a single strand of hair.” James turned around and left.
Cynthia followed him.
The Emperor was still sitting in the gazebo when he watched them leave. Then, he poured himself a cup of tea and muttered,
“It’ll be troublesome to get the chest back now that it’s with the Cadens. However, it’s better than leaving it with James.” James
had to die.
His plan could not be executed if James was still alive. However, he could not kill James because the chest was with him. This
was why he schemed the whole thing. He spread the news to the Cadens so that they would send someone to retrieve the
chest. The Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge was with the Cadens, and they should be able to unravel the secrets of the
painting after retrieving the chest. If his plan succeeded, he would be able to find a way to steal the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s
Edge and the other paintings from the other families and unravel the thousand-year-old mystery left behind by the Prince of
Orchid Mountain.

“Immortality, huh? I’m looking forward to it.” The Emperor took a sip of tea and took out his phone to dial a mysterious number.
“You can proceed with the plan.” “Alright.”
A hoarse voice sounded through the phone.
