He stood at the entrance of Sara’s retreat room, hesitating repeatedly before finally pressing the button.


    Since her harrowing escape from China, Sara had barely ventured outside. In over three hundred years, she had never felt as vulnerable as she did now. The shock of recent events had left her feeling somewhat defeated.


    Although she was aware that Jadiel was on his way, she wasn’t keen on seeing him. However, upon reflection, she realized that Jadiel was a man of steady resolve. If he was seeking her out, it must be to convey something of importance.


    With a wave of her hand, the heavy stone door opened, granting him entry.


    Jadiel entered respectfully and noticed Sara sitting cross-legged behind the gauze curtain. He spoke softly, “Master Ying, I have something to report…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Sara nodded and replied coldly, “Proceed.”


    “In recent days, the Rothschild family has been behaving oddly,” Jadiel reported. “I sense something is amiss.” Sara scoffed lightly, “The Rothschilds are merely a wealthy family focused on profit. Regardless of their wealth, they’re insignificant. Why should we concern ourselves with them?”


    “But Master,” Jadiel urged, “the Rothschilds recently captured an antique dealer. Reports of the brutal treatment he received have surfaced, and the scandal is still fresh. Today, they even dispatched arge number of men to the dealer’s home, equipped with extensive exploration tools. This has sparked significant bacsh online.”


    Sara furrowed her brow, intrigued. “Are you suggesting that the Rothschilds are searching for something significant?”


    “Exactly!” Jadiel confirmed eagerly. “The antique dealer specializes in Chinese antiques sold in Europe and the United States. There are rumors that the Rothschilds entrusted him with a valuable Chinese artifact for restoration, but he quietly substituted it with a fake. When the Rothschilds discovered the deception, they arrested him and subjected him to severe torture.”


    After a brief pause, Jadiel added, “My subordinates believe this antique must have an extraordinary history. Given the Rothschilds’ immense wealth, no ordinary artifact would warrant such extreme measures. Not even all of Leonardo da Vinci’s paintingsbined would capture their attention to this extent.”<fn2db4> Checktest chapters at Find~Novel</fn2db4>


    Sara nodded thoughtfully. “In the global antiques market, it’s rare for a single piece to sell for over one billion dors. Such a sum wouldn’t justify the Rothschilds’ interest in this situation. There must be something deeper at y!”


    With determination, Sara instructed, “Contact Chen Zhimin immediately. He needs to uncover more information. If this leads to a significant discovery, I will ensure you receive the credit!”


    Jadiel knelt on one knee, excited, and raised his hands in gratitude. “Thank you, Lord Ying!” Sara then asked, “By the way, where has Uncle Sean beentely?”


    “Master,” Jadiel replied quickly, “you previously instructed Uncle Sean to halt his investigation into ckwater Company and remain silent for three months. He is currently in North Carolina, where ckwater is headquartered. He has maintained his position there despite the silence.”


    Sara responded, “Since he’s in the United States, have him coordinate with Chen Zhimin. Although Chen is resourceful, he might not be strong enough to handle the Rothschilds alone. If Uncle Sean assists him, their chances of sess will increase significantly.”


    “Understood, Lord Ying,” Jadiel said respectfully. “I will inform them right away!”
