Chapter 247
Everyone was chatting while going upstairs.
“I heard ‘The Heart of the Kingdom’ has been bought by some mysterious rich man. I wonder who’s the lucky one to get such a rare treasure”
“Whoever owns The Heart of the Kingdom’ must be living the dream. Its value is off the charts now.”
They slowly made their way up and finally, led by a server, entered a room.
Agnes immediately realized that this was the weird exhibition room she had accidentally stumbled into earlier.
A wave of confusion washed over her.
If this was such a rare treasure, why was the exhibition room door unlocked, and she could just walk right in?
Everyone had entered the exhibition room.
The room had an unusual lighting, the light reflected off crystals and danced on the walls like flowing water.
She took a look around, feeling like she was under the sea.
The server held a remote and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, please enjoy The Heart of the Kingdom.”
With that, he pushed a button, and as the music started, a lift appeared in the exhibition center.
On the lift was a transparent glass display stand.
Everyone gathered around, waiting to admire the beauty of “The Heart of the Kingdom’.
But the moment the glass display case fully emerged,
Someone screamed, “The Heart of the Kingdom is gone!”
The room instantly fell into chaos.
“It’s really gone, what happened, was it stolen?”
“But everyone here today had to go through identity and fingerprint verification. If ‘The Heart of the Kingdom was stolen today, then it must have been taken by someone here.”
The host was in total panic.
Soon, the security manager of the exhibition room arrived.
Suddenly, a group of security guards appeared outside the exhibition room.
The manager walked in and said, “The Heart of the Kingdom’ being stolen is a big deal. We are currently investigating. We hope for everyone’s cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience caused”
Someone in the crowd loudly said.
“This thief is bold, daring to steal such a valuable item. We have to find out or everyone here is a suspect”
What these nobles cared about the most was their reputation.
Now being pointed as possible theft suspects, naturally, they could not bear it.
So everyone cooperated with the investigation.
