Chapter 510

Raiden lifted a brow and smiled.

“The news about the antique statue is spreading like wildfire out there. Naturally, I came to behold the marvelous thousand-year-old antique.”

At that, the eyes of the person in charge lit up.

Initially, he was unsure if he could actually take the antique statue away by the end of the day. However, Raiden's intervention heightened his chances of succeeding in that.

“Mr. Fletcher, my higher-ups have ordered me to send the antique statue to Jadeborough Museum. You're old friends with Ms. Jefferson, so could you please convince her to forgo the statue?”

“No,” came Raiden's instant reply. “I was the one who gifted her the statue, so I won't allow it to be taken away. You don't need to worry about your higher-ups because I'll deal with them. Stop harassing Bailey from now on, got it?”

A look of shock crossed the person in charge's face. He could not believe that Raiden had gifted Bailey a national treasure that was so important. If news of that were to get out to the public, the people would begin speculating about the nature of Bailey and Raiden's relationship.

One was the eldest son of a prestigious family who held military power, and the other was a single mother who had gotten pregnant before getting married. The two of them should not have crossed paths in life, and yet, Raiden was deliberately binding him and Bailey together.

“Mr. Fletcher regards this matter with great importance, too. He has ordered for both the antique statue and the emerald seal to be brought into the capital at the same time.”

Raiden icily glanced at him and muttered, “I'll explain things to my father. If the public were to ask about this, you'll tell them that I represented the country in gifting Bailey the antique statue. Do you understand?”
