Chapter 1283

"It's not that line, it's the one before it!"

"Uh..." Adler scratched his head, thinking. "We must've botched our investigation!"

"The line before that!"

"This is a ledger, not a treasure map, right?"

"Yep, that's the line."

Adler looked puzzled. "What's so special about that line?"

Sophie explained, "I've always thought it was odd. This ledger was so dangerous back then, yet it wasn't burned. Instead, it was hidden, and not just anywhere, but in each family's ancestral hall. I bet the Tredgold and Costello families have similar ledgers. Maybe when you put them together, they form a treasure map."

Jenna and Adler exchanged bewildered glances.

Jenna said, "I've heard of treasure maps hidden in poems and paintings, but this is the first time I've heard of one hidden in a ledger!"
