Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 

Yuliana was genuinely panicking. She thought, “Was Jonathan really cutting all ties with the Sullivan family by returning this item? Nina couldn’t leave his protection, as they were powerless against Whitney. 

What he just said was merely to test Jonathan’s reaction. Nina hadn’t woken up yet, and he was truly leaving. 

Jonathan stopped and turned around calmly to speak. “I understand; this is one of the keys to the century–old treasure of the four great families. 

“Each family’s heirloom serves as a key, but you must gather all four keys to open the treasure’s door.” 

In Betrico’s elite circles, a legend has been passed down among the four great families. A hundred years ago, during the days of the Republic, three of these families were major warlords. 

They ruled Betrico, the Xenos family, the Sullivan family, the Seton family, and also the Donovan family. 

The land was divided, filled with chaos from warlords, and each of these families accumulated great wealth. Eventually, the warlord era came to an end, leading most of the families to flee overseas. 

However, the vast wealth and countless gold could not be taken away. So, the four families joined forces to create a treasure vault, hiding all their riches in an ancient temple in the deep mountains. 

They crafted a magical door to the treasure, requiring four keys made into tokens. Only by placing all four keys into the door could the secret passage to the treasure be unlocked. 

Each of these four tokens was made from a piece of pink sphene. 

Descendants of the warlords still exist today, namely the Sullivan family, the Xenos family, and the Sexton family, all of which have become century–old prestigious families. 

After the establishment of the new government, the four great families that had gone abroad also returned home, quietly beginning to rest and recuperate. 

The Sexton family monopolized the oil and grain stores, the Sullivan family opened a bank, the Xenos family ran trading companies, and the Donovan family started a shipping company for overseas trade. 

The descendants of the four major families rose to power quickly 

Everyone knew about the legend of the family treasures, so the four families quickly united. They monopolized different industries and began intermarrying among themselves. 

But during Mr. Bennett’s generation, for reasons unknown, the Donovan family was completely massacred overnight, and the entire clan fell into decline. 

The Donovan family’s heirloom, a pink gemstone, was circulating on the black market. The other three families were all eager to get the gemstone, secretly showcasing their various skills 

However, the gemstone was ultimately bought by a mysterious figure, who turned out to be Clifford, 

The Bennett family was the last to emerge among the four major families. It could be said that Clifford built it from the ground up himself. 

It’s said that he started with just a small cargo ship and became ashipping tycoon, nearly acquiring all the businesses of the Donovan family. 

The Bennett family quickly rose to prominence, and in just a few decades, they became the leading family among the four. No one knows Clifford’s background or identity.

Chapter 259 

There are even rumors that be wiped out the entire Donovan family and took over their possessions. Of course, no one dares to spread such rumors these days. 

Over the years, with a solid foundation and overseas insights, the new four families have nearly monopolized the entire business chain in Betrico. The families have reached their peak development. 

So, the four major families did not pass down the story of the treasure from a hundred years ago to their descendants. Actually, starting from Jonathan’s generation, most of them were unaware of the treasure’s existence. 

Yuliana continued. The treasure is a secret shared by the four major families. It’s usually passed down from the head of the 

knows. family to the next generation, and only one person 

“The four keys to unlock the treasure are the heirlooms of these families. 

“Your Bennett family has a pink gemstone pendant, the Sullivan family has a pink medallion, the Xenos family has a pink gemstone lock, and the Sexton family possesses a pink lucky knot,” she added. 

Yuliana said, “It’s said that hundreds of years ago, there were tens of millions in gold, along with countless rare treasures that would be invaluable today. 

“If one could find the treasure from a century ago, it would be enough to buy several small countries. 

“If you got it, the Bennett family could become the richest family in the world and wouldn’t falter for hundreds of years, no matter the circumstances. 

“Most importantly, you wouldn’t be under Whitney’s thumb anymore. The wealth she holds is nothing compared to this centuries–old treasure. 

“You could hire the most powerful mercenary army in the world, or even buy a small country. No one would be able to oppose you. Don’t you want that day to come?” Yuliana said. 

Yuliana knew that Jonathan was ambitious. Even if he didn’t dream of the treasure, Whitney would eventually discover this 

secret. 

When the time comes, Whitney will surely do everything she can to get those four keys. Jonathan doesn’t really have à choice. 

Jonathan’s expression remained steady, as calm as water. “This is just a hundred–year–old legend, and it might not even be 

Truc. 

“The leaders of the four families have been searching for a century, and they haven’t even found the location of the ancient temple in the mountains. The treasure from a century ago is not that easy to get.” 

“But you have the skills; you’re the most likely to find it,” Yuliana said. 

Yuliana continued, “Our Sullivan and Sexton families are now just the support for the Bennett family. We’ve long lost the ability to stand on equal footing, 

“For many years ahead, the Sullivan and Sexton families will have to depend on the Bennetts to survive. If that’s the situation, I certainly hope you become the head of the Bennett family. 

“If it’s Whitney, then the Sullivan family is doomed.” 

Jonathan said, “Don’t be so pessimistic. Preston is, after all, part of the Sullivan family. Even if I lose this battle with my sister, he won’t let her ruin the Sullivans.” 

Preston just has the Sullivan name. He didn’t change it because Mr. Bennett promised to let him inherit the Sullivan estate But once he does inherit the wealth, Whitney won’t let the Sullins off.
