Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 859

The Arcane Jade was actually taken by the Flinders family?

This...how was that possible?

Both Vickie and Gregory were deeply shocked.

After all, in that conflict back then, there was no sign of the Flinders, so no one had ever thought that the Arcane Jade would end up in their hands.

Were they the ones who started the strife back then and made it look like it was started by traitors within the Vermillion Bird Organization?

No, it was impossible!

Gregory Graham and Shimon Flinders, the Head of the Flinders, had always been close, At that time, there was also no competition in business, so their relationship was even closer.

If it was really the Flinders that had interfered, it was impossible for Gregory not to notice.

However, if it was not them who intervened back then and that piece did not fall into their hands, could it be that there was a second piece of Arcane Jade in this world?

Vickie suddenly thought of a possibility that sent chills down her spine.

She turned her head to look at Gregory but saw that the man’s face was similarly somber and unpleasant.

Massimo Nolan also noticed that something was wrong with the two of them and asked, "What's wrong with you guys? Why the reaction?"

Vickie shook her head and said, "Nothing."

She paused and added, "Go on with your story."

"Oh."

Massimo did not know what the two of them were thinking, so he could only look at them in confusion and continued.

"When he first approached us and wanted to borrow the venue, he proposed not to disclose their identities. Since our family’s just doing business, it only matters whether he pays or not. As for identities and so on, we don't really care, so we agreed.

"But then I thought about it, and the more I thought, the fishier it was. Don’t you guys agree that whenever someone holds an auction, it's a symbol of that family's strength and reputation? Why wouldn't the Flinders disclose their identities? Is there something fishy going on in this auction? Or perhaps they were just organizing this auction, which appears to be sharing some treasures, but in fact, they had an ulterior motive?"

They had to admit that although Massimo did not know the truth of the matter, this analysis made a lot of sense.

It was probably a lucky guess.

Yet Vickie and Gregory understood why the Flinders did not want to reveal their identity. It was not because there was anything fishy about it.

Rather, it was because they did not want people to know that this Arcane Jade was taken out by them.

It was well known that the Arcane Jade could bring the dead back to life, and although they did not know if this was true or not, the descriptive and vivid legends had almost confirmed its function.

For ordinary people, even if they had some doubts about the authenticity of this rumor, as humans, who would not want to live forever? Who would not want to own a treasure that could possibly bring back the dead?

This temptation was too great, and throughout the ages, even emperors were unable to escape this desire, let alone a normal person.

Thus, even though everyone had doubts about this rumor, they still could not hide their curiosity and rushed over.

What was more, everyone wanted to fight for it. Even if they only had a one in 10 million chance of taking it home to try it out and see if it was as magically effective as the legend.

They had to admit that the Flinders made a good move.

It was almost like they knew the weakness in human nature, so without effort, they could stir up a storm.

Vickie's mood sank.

Gregory was no better. His eyebrows remained locked, but in his heart, he pondered the intentions of the Flinders in doing so.
