Chapter 453

It was oddly quiet-no insects chirping, no footsteps from the guards that usually patrolled outside.

It was as if the whole world had fallen silent. Heavy clouds loomed above, and in the stillness, the sound of leaves drifting to the ground was almost too clear.

Romeo's senses were on high alert. He stopped short of leaving the room and called out, "Hello? Someone?"

No response.

'Damn,' he thought, his expression shifting. He spun around to head back to his bedroom, but froze as he sensed unfamiliar presences inside. He walked in, and there they were-three masked men waiting for him. "Who are you?" he demanded, voice cold. "Do you have any idea whose house you're in? It's the Harper family. Get out now while you can."

The intruders exchanged a look, barely fazed, and one replied with a smug grin, "Mr. Harper, after all these years guarding the Treasure Box, don't you think it's time to pass it on? We'll take it from here." The tone wasn't just confident; it was laced with threat.

Alarm bells went off in Romeo's mind. So they were here for the Treasure Box, after all.

He had protected its location for over a decade; no one was supposed to know it was hidden here. One final key, and he would unlock its power of immortality-but somehow, his secret was out. 'When did this leak? His expression hardened, and he snapped, "I don't know what you're talking about. Leave now, or you will regret it."

But the men did not budge. One of them climbed onto his bed, grabbed a chair, and hurled it at the chandelier overhead. With a loud crash, the ceiling cracked, scattering debris across the floor. And there it was-a hidden compartment, revealing a small package nestled within.

Seeing this, Romeo nearly lost it, rushing forward with wild eyes. "That's mine! No one can take it from me. No one!"

But one of the men kicked him back to the ground with ease, showing no emotion. Another reached up and pulled down the package.

Dropping any pretense, he sneered, "You really think we would come here without being fully prepared? Hand it over, Mr. Harper, or I'll make sure your son and daughter-in-law pay the price!" "Don't you dare!" Romeo's face turned pale.
