Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 485 The Opening of the Royal Tomb to Retrieve Treasure (1)
In order to obtain the antidote for the poison from Virgil Davies to cure Melody Parker, embarking on this treasure quest was inevitable.
Muir looked at Kuhn and introduced to Melody Parker, "Kuhn, whom you have met, is the Guardian of the treasure. Dad plans to let him go to the Northern Tribe with you."
Melody Parker nodded, "Okay."
Shortly afterward, a decree was announced from the Whitehill Palace, appointing the Eldest Princess, Melody Parker, as the Crown Prince of Whitehill.
Everything was proceeding according to plan, in an orderly manner.
After the decree was published, Melody Parker left the palace with Kuhn and the Jade Pendant, heading towards the Northern tombs.
Not long after Melody Parker stepped out of the palace, confirming that only a sickly boy was with her and no tail following, the disguised Virgil Davies immediately appeared.
Upon Virgil Davies’s appearance, Mark, observing everything from a distance with binoculars, couldn’t help but sneer, "Ha, how utterly foolish!"
Did he think that changing his appearance would make him unrecognizable?
Even with his distinctive leg, let alone a disguise, what use is it if he changes his sinister-looking face entirely?
It’s nothing but self-deception!
Actually, Virgil Davies knew it all too well.
Since Adrian Davies pointed it out, he had already been aware.
But with limited resources now, he didn’t have much energy to find a more suitable leg to replace it.
Moreover, he felt that not many people could see through his identity as swiftly as Adrian Davies. Thus, altering his appearance seemed somewhat safer.
Virgil Davies walked to Melody Parker’s side, completely ignoring Kuhn’s presence, directly asking, "Where is the Jade Pendant?"
Melody Parker halted, looked at Virgil Davies, didn’t speak, appearing to confirm his identity.
Virgil Davies, anxious, urged again, "The Jade Pendant? Since you’ve been appointed as the Crown Prince, shouldn’t you have taken it out?"
Melody Parker nodded, immediately took out the Jade Pendant, and handed it over to Virgil Davies.
Virgil Davies took it and examined it, his eyes filled with an undeniable greed, this was the real Butterfly Jade Pendant! Haha... finally, it was in his hands, and soon, he could use it to unlock Whitehill’s treasure!
Virgil Davies leaned closer to Melody Parker, whispering softly in her ear, "Now, let’s open the treasure door."
Melody Parker nodded faintly, "Okay."
Virgil Davies was slightly stunned.
Was it his illusion?
Why did he feel that, for a brief moment, Melody Parker looked at him with cold eyes?
But when he looked again, there was nothing to be found.
Was it his illusion?
Virgil Davies felt uneasy, still thinking it’s necessary to make certain to be secure.
He glanced towards Kuhn’s direction and asked Melody Parker, "Who is he?"
Melody Parker, eyes emotionless, answered truthfully, "He is the Guardian of the treasure. Dad said only by bringing him can the treasure be unlocked."
Hearing this, Virgil Davies couldn’t help but glance at Kuhn again.
Seeing Kuhn’s frail figure, Virgil Davies couldn’t help but be skeptical, "He is the Guardian of the treasure?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
When Virgil Davies asked this, Kuhn slowly turned his head to look at Virgil Davies.
That glance made Virgil Davies feel chilling and frightening.
However, Kuhn quickly withdrew his gaze in a cold manner, standing quietly not far from Melody Parker.
Virgil Davies: "..."
What’s going on?
Just now, for that brief moment, this young man gave him a very unusual feeling!
But he’s so frail, how could that be?
While Virgil Davies was puzzled, Melody Parker slowly nodded, "He has always stayed within the tomb, familiar with all the layouts there."
Thereupon, Virgil Davies finally understood why this young man’s gaze was so chilling and frightening just now.
Someone who has lived long within the tomb, accompanied by dead objects, how could they not be chilling and frightening?
Yet someone who never sees the sunlight and is this frail shouldn’t pose any threat to him aside from leading him to the treasure.
And that’s even better; compared to those strong, tough individuals, someone like this is more beneficial to him, isn’t it?
That’s what Virgil Davies thought and that’s how he acted later.
He did not take Kuhn seriously nor harbored any caution towards Kuhn.
Of course, with Kuhn’s capability, Virgil Davies wouldn’t be able to guard against him either.
But that’s a matter for later discussion.
Virgil Davies smiled, coldly directed at Melody Parker, "You go leisurely, I’ll follow you to the treasure’s hiding place. Once you reach the entrance, wait for me there."
Melody Parker nodded, "Okay."
Seeing how obedient Melody Parker appeared, any doubts that arose within Virgil Davies dissipated instantly; it seemed it really was his illusion! She was poisoned, had always listened to him, and even personally killed Adrian Davies, how could any change occur?
After arranging everything, Virgil Davies turned and left.
Melody Parker and Kuhn continued on their journey, heading to the Northern Tribe.
Virgil Davies led over a hundred subordinates he gathered, following from afar.
Once they reached the Northern Tribe’s entrance, seeing that nothing unusual happened along the way, Virgil Davies once again joined Melody Parker and entered the Northern Tribe with her.
Fearing any sudden changes, Virgil Davies had already instructed his over a hundred subordinates before reuniting with Melody Parker to stay on standby to guard against Mark’s attacks.
As for Whitehill, Virgil Davies was not worried at all.
As long as Melody Parker followed his orders, he could move unimpeded in Whitehill.
The fact proved so indeed.
Once they entered the Northern Tribe, none of the tribe members were disrespectful upon seeing Melody Parker.
This was because Kuhn already notified the tribe members ahead, so regarding those unfamiliar faces following Melody Parker, the Northern Tribe members displayed no sign of abnormality.
In Virgil Davies’s eyes, the Northern Tribe’s people were nothing more than defenseless, ordinary folk.
They were not intimidating at all!
Just after Melody Parker left the palace as planned, Mark quietly entered the palace with two treasures and met King Muir.
Upon seeing the twins, King Muir wept tears of joy.
The twins, too, shed tears the moment they saw King Muir.
Within those tears were joy, as well as the hardship and bitterness endured over the days.
No matter how capable they were, they were still under five-year-old children.
When trouble befell their parents consecutively, they too felt scared and worried and would seek familial comfort. They needed to act out a little in front of kin, venting their psychological anxiety and unease.
The twins immediately fled into King Muir’s embrace upon seeing him, voicing hoarsely, "Grandpa, our mommy is poisoned."
