Chapter 1502
James weighed his options. He believed that telling Xavi the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge and the
martial arts recorded within in exchange for the Lee family’s fortune was a great deal.
He was unconcerned that Xavi would cultivate the martial arts recorded within the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s
Edge since they demanded great True Energy. Besides, it required a man and a woman and both True Yin and Yang
Energy to cultivate.
Xavi smiled bitterly and said, “James, do you have any idea how much fortune the Lee family has
amassed over the past century? I’m only demanding you to return what’s mine and to tell me the secret. of the
Four Ancient Paintings. Surely this isn’t too demanding?”
“Not at all…” James continued, “But since I don’t have the painting with me, there’s nothing I can do.”
Hearing this, Xavi fell silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe atmosphere became tense.
James remained silent as well and waited for Xavi to speak his mind.
After a while, Xavi said, “How about this? I don’t need you to return my painting. Find Thomas and ask him to allow
me to view the Four Ancient Paintings for three days. What do you think?”
Xavi made a compromise.
The paintings did not matter. What mattered were the ancient martial arts recorded in them. In just three days, he
could imitate everything. That way, he could peacefully live in seclusion and only reappear after a few decades had
passed. When that day came, there would be no one else left to stand in his way. “James, this is where I draw my
line. If you can’t gather all four paintings, please return.”
Xavi pointed at the door. Then, he stood up and turned to leave.
Yasmine looked at James apologetically and said, “James, these are the demands of the Grand Patriarch.
Reconsider them carefully. Bring the Four Ancient Paintings here the next time you come.”
After saying that, she turned to leave.
James shrugged and said, “Let’s return for now.”
The three left the Lees’ residence.
At the same time, in the Lees’ courtyard…
“Grand Patriarch, aren’t you pushing it a little? Even if James is willing, there’s no way he can persuade Thomas.”
Xavi thought about it and said, “Not at all. Keep in mind that this is our fortune amassed over the century. I merely
needed to know the secret of the Four Ancient Paintings and to view them for a period of three days, James must
be eager to obtain the wealth of our family to make the necessary preparations for his control of Sol. I believe that
he will talk some sense into Thomas. Let’s not be hasty for now. We just need to wait patiently.”
“Understood,” Yasmine said.
After James and the others left, they returned home.
Upon arriving home, Thea asked, “How did it go, Darling?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames shrugged and said, “We couldn’t come to an agreement. The Lees demanded to know the secret of the Four
Ancient Paintings and to view them for three days. I’d have surely agreed to their terms if I had them with me.
However, Grandpa’s the one who stole them. Where am I supposed to find him?”
“Looking for me?”
At that moment, Thomas’ voice came from outside.
Then, he walked in and sat on the sofa.
He was looking much better than he was in the morning.
“You’re finally here, Grandpa.”
James was delighted.
He really could not figure his grandfather out.
“Do you want to the remaining three paintings?”
Thomas looked at James.
“Mhm.”
