Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 488: Opening the Royal Tomb to Retrieve the Treasure (4)
Kuhn ignored Virgil Davies, not even deigning to give him a glance.
He turned to Melody Parker and respectfully spoke, "Princess, did you see a butterfly-shaped indentation at the bottom of the coffin?"
Melody Parker looked at the bottom of the coffin and nodded, "Yes."
Kuhn said, "Activate the Jade Pendant."
Just as Kuhn finished speaking, Virgil Davies immediately took out the jade pendant that Melody Parker had previously given him.
He stepped forward with the jade pendant, ready to place it directly into the groove.
But just as the jade pendant was about to be embedded in the groove, he halted his actions.
He withdrew his hand, turned around, and looked at Melody Parker, "You place it in."
With that, he handed the jade pendant back to Melody Parker.
Melody Parker did not resist at all, obediently taking the jade pendant and placing it into the groove.
Once the jade pendant was placed in the groove, everyone held their breath and stared wide-eyed, waiting for a miracle to occur.
The Jade Pendant melded into the groove, immediately emitting a dazzling light...
Then, to everyone’s amazement, a crack suddenly appeared on the coffin with a click, followed by the appearance of a beautiful butterfly on the golden pillar opposite the coffin.
The butterfly was so beautiful, as if it were a model butterfly embedded in the pillar.
Seeing the butterfly appear, Kuhn stated, "Princess, you need to drip a drop of blood onto the butterfly’s eyes."
Melody Parker looked at Virgil Davies.
Virgil Davies urgently spoke, "Do as he says."
Melody Parker nodded and walked past the coffin, approaching the pillar. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
She bit her forefinger and, as Kuhn instructed, let a drop of blood fall into the butterfly’s eyes.
The moment Melody Parker’s blood dripped into the butterfly’s eyes, the beautiful model-like butterfly came to life...
It slowly spread its wings and transformed into two butterflies, gently flying toward either side of the pillar.
With their flight, a secret door opened in the middle of the massive pillar.
And behind that secret door was a dazzling sight of gold and silver jewels... sparkling and enticing the greedy gazes.
Seeing all of this, Virgil Davies’ eyes widened.
But he did not rush forward.
He looked at Melody Parker, excitedly instructing, "Go in!"
Melody Parker obediently walked inside, entering the world filled with glittering gold and silver treasures.
Seeing that Melody Parker was safe, Virgil Davies followed with his subordinates.
Here was another palace, a world of several hundred square meters filled with piles of gold and silver jewels...
Priceless treasures lay before them, causing Virgil Davies’ followers to become immediately thrilled.
Each of them had eyes gleaming with excitement, clutching either gold and silver or jewels, some laughing heartily, some making bold proclamations, and there were, of course, flatterers of Virgil Davies.
"Haha... We’re rich!"
"Boss, so it was all true, there really is a treasure here!"
"Boss, this is amazing! With this money, we will be the rulers of this world, no one will ever be able to surpass us again!"
"Grandfather Davies, it’s truly the best decision to have followed you! Way better than following that coward William Glover!"
...
Seeing his men safe and sound, clutching jewels and gold without any incidents like at the false treasure site where deadly poison was smeared, Virgil Davies personally picked up a handful of jewels and examined them.
"It’s real! All real!" Virgil Davies joyfully laughed skywards, "Haha... Heaven has not forsaken me! Soon this world will all be mine!"
Looking at his men, he immediately gave an order, "Move all these treasures out, and also prepare the helicopter outside..."
Melody Parker watched Virgil Davies’ greedy face.
Not realizing he’s doomed, still dreaming of hauling away the treasure, dreaming of ruling the world; truly greedy and ugly to the extreme!
Go on, laugh all you want.
When you realize the plan failed, let’s see how you’ll cry!
"Hehe..." Melody Parker chuckled lightly.
Her laughter was cold, filled with mockery.
Hearing Melody Parker’s laughter, Virgil Davies immediately looked at her.
Melody Parker was still laughing.
Virgil Davies knew that Melody Parker had awakened.
He lacked understanding regarding the poison.
He didn’t understand why Melody suddenly awakened, nor whether others poisoned would awaken on their own as well.
However, she wasn’t someone ordinary people could compare to.
After all, she was the Princess Butterfly of the Butterfly Clan, full of unsolvable mysteries like her clan.
And he had seen her awaken before, so why be surprised at her awakening again now?
Even though she followed his command after he recited the passphrase, no one said she couldn’t awaken by herself in between, right?
Besides, what harm could her awakening do?
As long as the poison was in her, he only needed to recite the command phrase once more to control her again.
Moreover, none of this mattered now, as he has everything he wanted.
She eliminated his greatest threat, personally killed Adrian Davies, and now led him to this treasure land, gaining wealth beyond measure...
He was very pleased.
Virgil Davies looked at Melody Parker, with a sinister smile, "My dear lady, you’ve done a great job, not only helping me eliminate my greatest threat but also leading me to treasure. I’ll make sure you are well rewarded!"
Melody Parker pretended to have just awakened.
She looked around and then glared hatefully at Virgil Davies, speaking with piercing coldness, "Virgil Davies, you tricked me to fetch the treasure again..."
Seeing Melody Parker’s furious reproach, Virgil Davies burst out laughing, "My dear lady, you are now the Crown Prince of Whitehill, whenever you command, I would willingly serve."
Finishing, he continued as if making a promise, "As long as the lady desires, I can give you anything."
Melody Parker took a step forward and spoke coldly, "Very well, give me the antidote, cure the poison in me, and you can take away these treasures."
As she said this, Melody Parker was calm and cool, carrying the authority of a superior.
It seemed that if Virgil Davies didn’t hand over the antidote, he wouldn’t be able to take the treasure.
Virgil Davies was stunned.
Not because of Melody Parker’s imposing manner, but because of what she said.
Melody Parker and that young man, even together, were only two people.
And they were a frail woman and a sickly youth who could be blown away by a gust of wind.
And he had over a hundred subordinates; he was certain he could take the treasure, except...
Virgil Davies looked at Melody Parker, puzzled, "How do you know you’ve been poisoned?"
Melody Parker coldly laughed, "Hehe, being controlled by you to do so much, with ups and downs. If I still didn’t know I was poisoned by now, I’d truly be an utter fool!"
