And now it was being taken out by the Zaccardi Family?
How...... How was that possible?
Both of them were in shock.
After all, there was no Zaccardi Family in the fray. So it never occurred to anyone that it would end up in their possession.
Had they, in fact, started the strife that appeared to have been started by traitors within Rosefinch Club?
No, no way!
Felix and Stephan Zaccardi have always been close. At that time, they were not competing in business, so they were much closer.
If it was the Zaccardi Family, Felix couldn't have missed it.
So, if they didn't do it, and they didn't have it, was it possible that there was a second Celestial Book?
Irvin also noticed something was wrong with them and asked: “What’s wrong with you? Why are you reacting so badly?”
Queeny shook her head and said, “Nothing.”
She paused, then added, “Go on.”
“Okay.”
Irvin had no idea what either of them were thinking and could only look at them quizzically and go on.
“When he contacted us about using the space, he asked not to reveal their identities. We run a business and money is what all matters. We didn't care who he was, so we said yes.”
“But then I thought about it, and the more I thought about it, the worse it got. Any auction is a sign of the family’s power and prestige, so why wouldn’t the Zaccardi Family reveal their identity? Is there a secret to this auction? Or is it that the auction, ostensibly to share some treasure, is really about something else?”
Admittedly, Irvin didn't know the truth, but his analysis made a lot of sense.
This was probably called a guessing by chance.
Queeny and Felix, however, knew that their reluctance to go public was not because of any secret.
It was because they didn’t want people to know that they took the Celestial Book out.
It was well known that the Celestial Book could bring the dead back to life. No one knew if it was real, but it was so vivid that it was almost certain.
Ordinary people may doubt the truth of this rumor, but who wouldn't want to live forever? Who wouldn’t want a treasure that could bring the dead back to life?
The temptation was too great. Through the ages, even emperors could not escape this temptation, let alone ordinary people.
So, even if everyone had doubts about the authenticity of this rumor, it could not stop everyone to come here.
Everyone wanted it, even if it’s a long shot. Everyone wanted to take it back and see if it worked as it was supposed to.
Well done, they had to say.
They almost picked on the weakest of human nature and stirred up a storm.
Queeny's heart sank.
Felix was in the same mood. He frowned, wondering what the Zaccardi Family meant.
