Chapter 697 The Cultural Relics Are Stolen
John put away the Supreme Token of the Martial Arts League.
Whether this token was broken or not, it represented the face of the US Martial Arts League. John must treasure it and couldn’t lose it.
That was also the primary purpose of John’s visit to Australia this time.
To kill Chester was just a matter of convenience.
“It must be an honor for you to be buried with your immortal teacher. I wish you to be a dog of the Austconia man in your next life.”
John kicked Chester’s body into the deep ravine,
He looked up.
His eyes swept over.
All the members of the Kane family trembled and did not dare to look at him directly.
Oracle King was scary.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was the incarnation of an Immortal.
Ralph said in fear, “Immortal, we are willing to worship you and become your believers.”
His address to John had changed.
“I’m not an Immortal.”
“Yes, you are. Only an Immortal can kill an Immortal.”
John was speechless, but it was understandable when he thought about it. Lord Lilith held a lofty and supreme status in those people’s hearts.
Even Lord Lilith was beheaded by him. Didn’t that mean he was a more powerful Immortal than Lord Lilith?
John didn’t care about their worship. He said indifferently, “I don’t need your worship. You return those cultural relics to me first!”
“Yes!”
Ralph felicitated that the cultural relics he collected were all stored in the underground warehouse. He didn’t have to worry about them being destroyed by this earth-shattering battle.
However…
When Ralph hurriedly brought John to the underground warehouse, he was dumbfounded.
It was empty.
The warehouse seemed to be ransacked, and nothing was left behind.
“What’s going on? Where are the things? Where are the things??”
Ralph was furious. His face darkened immediately. He angrily caught the guards and questioned loudly.
Apart from the cultural relics, there were also some swords infused with the power of Immortals in the warehouse. They were used to reward those clan members with good performance.
So the warehouse was guarded all the time.
Unexpectedly, not only the cultural relics were gone, but even those swords had disappeared.
The person in charge of guarding the warehouse got panicked. He knelt on the ground and said in a panic, “Clan lord, please forgive me. Those things were still there half an hour ago. I don’t know what happened.”
“They were there half an hour ago?”
Ralph frowned.
Half an hour ago, he had sent Tam Kane to inform everyone to gather at the Holy Temple in the back mountain to witness Chester joining their family.
Who had thought so many things could happen in such a short period?
It would never have occurred to him that the things in the basement warehouse would disappear in such a short while
John’s expression was awkward.
The moment he entered this basement, he understood what was going on.
But John didn’t speak it out. His face darkened, and he said, “Ralph, don’t play tricks on me!”
“How dare I play tricks on you, Immortal!”
Ralph said mournfully, “Someone must have stolen them.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“I don’t care if someone stole them or whatever. You lost them. You must give me an explanation.” John said solemnly.
Ralph got anxious, “What do you want me to do?”
He also wanted to give John a satisfactory answer, but he didn’t know how. He assumed that nothing in his family could interest John. Even if he searched the whole Kane family, he couldn’t find an item that John would fancy.
Ralph had no choice but to say, “Don’t worry, Immortal. I will find a way to catch the thief and return those cultural relics to the US as soon as possible.”
“What if it can’t be done?”
“If I can’t do it, I will…”
Ralph gritted his teeth and said decisively, “I will be at your disposal!”
His sincerity amused John. John said, “You said this yourself. I will give you three days. If you can’t catch the thief by then, I will come back to settle the matter.”
“Three days? Can it be longer?”
“Are you haggling with me?”
“No, I’m not!”
Ralph wanted to cry. He immediately launched an investigation after John left.
He didn’t find out anything.
Three days passed quickly.
Ralph was desperate. He had no choice but to accept his fate and wait for John to come to punish him. He was in a disturbed mood from morning to night, but John didn’t come back.
Ralph waited anxiously for a few more days. John still didn’t show up.
Only then did Ralph realize that John was threatening him a few days ago. Perhaps those cultural relics were nothing to John.
Ralph immediately felt quite relieved.
Oracle King was not inferior to Immortals. How could he care about some ordinary cultural relics?
His harsh words were just a threat to make him behave obediently in the future.
Ralph finally got relieved.
Of course, these were things that happened later.
Not long after John left the Kane family, he immediately made a phone call and asked smilingly, “Baby Angela, where are you?”
In the past, Angela rarely answered her call. Most of the time, she wandered around with the ordinary Gianna Semel. They often went to places with bad connections.
But John was sure that she would answer him this time.
So he called.
He was right.
Angela faltered and said, “Ah? I, I’m about to go to a grave with the master. What’s the matter, John?”
“Go to a grave? Haha, I advise you to tell the truth. Otherwise, if I find out you are lying, I will kick your ass when we meet!” John said with a smile.
“Bah! I’m definitely in a grave. Believe it or not. Oh, bad connection. I can’t hear you. What are you talking about, John? I can’t hear…”
Angela’s voice became smaller. Then, she hung up the phone directly.
John was stunned and then shook his head helplessly, “This stupid girl. Doesn’t she know I can feel the Mind Circle on her body? She is not a good liar.”
