Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 454: Do you know where the treasure is?
Although the plan was adjusted on short notice, Virgil Davies believed he’d calculated everything perfectly and could deceive Adrian Davies and Interpol for a while.
What he hadn’t anticipated was that this seemingly flawless plan couldn’t fool Adrian Davies, nor could it deceive Interpol.
But this was all in the past now.
After making his decision, Virgil Davies immediately headed to Melody Parker’s room in the west wing.
Upon entering the bedroom, he saw Melody Parker already dressed, sitting there in a daze, mechanically eating the breakfast the servant had brought.
Virgil Davies stood there, looking at Melody Parker, "Later we’ll head to Whitehill to retrieve the treasure."
Melody’s mechanical eating paused, she looked at Virgil, expressionless, and nodded, "Okay."
Virgil Davies looked at Melody, asking, "Do you know what is required to open the treasure?"
"I know." Melody stared at Virgil, speaking with utter clarity: "The treasure requires the supreme Double Butterfly Jade Pendant from Whitehill and a drop of my blood to open."
Just as he thought.
Exactly as he had known before.
However, the previous princess was fake, the jade pendant was fake, even the treasure was fake, leading to his thorough defeat.
Initially, he only knew Lily was fake, thinking it wouldn’t significantly impact his grand treasure plan, which led him to rashly attempt to open the treasure.
But later he found out that the Butterfly Jade Pendant he painstakingly acquired was fake, a trick by Adrian to mislead him.
And King Muir of Whitehill recognized the fake pendant, uncovered the counterfeit Lily, and played along with their plan, almost leading them all to perish at the fake treasure site.
This time, he would not allow any more mistakes. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
As long as he had the treasure, Melody, in his hands, he could command the winds and the rains; they wouldn’t dare harm him.
Virgil looked at Melody, urgently asking, "Is the real Butterfly Jade Pendant still with you?"
Melody shook her head, "No, that pendant is with my daddy now."
Virgil nodded, looked at Melody, and continued questioning, "Do you know where the real treasure is buried?"
Melody nodded, "Yes, I know."
Virgil hurriedly asked, "Where?"
Melody dully replied, "In the underground tomb of the northern tribe..."
"Very good." Virgil was extremely satisfied with Melody’s answer.
Now knowing the true location of the treasure, with Princess Butterfly in his hand, all he lacked was the key to the treasure - the Butterfly Jade Pendant held by Muir.
Originally, he feared the Butterfly Jade Pendant would be with Adrian.
If it were with Adrian, obtaining the pendant would be much trickier.
Now that the pendant was in Muir’s hands, it became easier instead.
This way, he only needed to send Melody to Muir to retrieve the pendant, right?
Virgil looked at Melody, smiling as he spoke, "Go to your father’s and bring the pendant to me."
Melody nodded, "Okay."
Virgil, overjoyed, left, going out to arrange the specifics of the journey to Whitehill.
Alone in the bedroom, Melody gazed blankly into the distance, her mind in turmoil...
Before last night, before Virgil uttered the command that controlled her, Melody, poisoned, felt trapped.
More accurately, her soul was trapped.
She felt uncomfortable, wanting to break the shackles and free her soul, but she couldn’t.
Until she personally harmed Adrian, witnessing her hands covered in his blood—such a shock was overwhelming for her.
She stared blankly as Adrian called her "Melody," bewildered, seeing her hands stained with blood, fighting against the other entity controlling her mind.
She escaped, and someone took her away.
Her mind remained in a fog, but there was always a voice telling her: Wake up quickly, you must wake up!...
At the moment she saw Virgil, she finally broke free of the shackles binding her soul and remembered everything she’d done.
But now, after Virgil uttered the control command, she was trapped again by a much stronger barrier, an impenetrable cage.
This time, breaking free seemed absolutely impossible...
After arranging everything, Virgil activated his previously devised plan.
He had his stand-in lead those brought from William Glover to wreak havoc across Mexico, creating the illusion of reclaiming his territory and returning as the Mexican gang leader.
Meanwhile, he disguised himself as an ordinary businessman, taking the similarly disguised Melody and a dozen subordinates, setting off for Whitehill by water.
To reach Whitehill, they first had to cross a mountain peak.
Beyond this peak lay an endless ocean.
Upon reaching the ocean’s edge, they would only need to take a ferry to land directly in Whitehill.
Virgil led Melody and those dozen subordinates along this route.
The mountain path was very steep, and just as their group reached the peak and was about to descend, a helicopter’s roar suddenly sounded above them.
Soon after, they saw a helicopter slowly descending onto the mountaintop.
Virgil dared not hesitate, immediately putting his men on alert.
The helicopter’s cabin door opened, and Adrian, clad in black, face stern, emanating a chilling aura of death and ruthlessness, stepped out.
Behind him, equally stern-faced, emitting a deadly aura, were Ned Faris and Locke, following him out.
Adrian had already anticipated, and was extremely certain, that Virgil would take this route to Whitehill.
This greedy man, with Melody under the Poison’s influence in his hands, would definitely attempt to open the treasure.
As for the ’Virgil’ appearing in Mexico, it was easy to deduce that it was just a diversion set up by the real Virgil to mislead him and the Interpol agents hunting Virgil.
The fake Virgil was of no concern; he could leave that to the Interpol agents.
But the real Virgil, and the Virgil with Melody, would definitely head to Whitehill, and they would definitely pass through here.
Because this was the only road.
Thus, he had monitored this place beforehand, ready to respond rapidly to any sudden movement.
