Jagoan’s mind felt like it had short-circuited at this very moment.

Now, it seemed highly likely that Felix would make his presence felt in Aurous Hill, courtesy of some well-laid plans. The orchestrator behind this move was most likely none other than his father, who had passed away two decades ago.

This revelation weighed heavily on Jagoan, shrouding him in a mysterious tension and unease. What had truly happened to his parents all those years ago? It wasn’t just their untimely demise that gnawed at him; it was the intricate web of preparations leading up to that fateful accident.

Back in those days, when trouble had come knocking at his parents’ door, Jagoan had promptly sought refuge in the orphanage. It had been a contingency plan set in motion by his father long ago. Yet, surprisingly, this enigmatic figure named Cole had been tucked away in the orphanage for nearly two decades by his father’s design. He embarked on a journey to Aurous Hill, driven by the desire to create an extraordinary scenario…

With these thoughts gripping him, Jagoan reached for his phone once more and dialed Jasmine’s number. He had another pressing question that demanded immediate answers.

As the call connected, Jasmine’s respectful voice came through, “Master Jagoan, have you had a chance to review the information I sent you? Any questions?”

Jagoan replied, “Yes, I’ve gone through it. But there’s one more thing I need to clarify with you.”

Jasmine responded swiftly, “Please go ahead, Master Jagoan.”

Jagoan inquired, “It’s about that jade pot and spring vase that my father-in-law accidentally broke. Do you happen to know how it ended up in Vintage Deluxe’s possession? Did it come from the Moore

family? Did Vintage Deluxe himself retrieve it, or was it consigned by someone else to Vintage Deluxe?”

Jasmine contemplated for a moment and replied, “That jade pot and spring vase… If my memory serves me right, Manager Cole was the one who secured it. Shortly after I joined the company, I assisted Vintage Deluxe in recovering several antiques, but most of them were rather unremarkable. They lacked the spotlight and profit potential. However, the Spring Vase was undoubtedly the finest antique he managed to recover.”

Jagoan mused, “So, it was him who recovered it… But did he disclose where he found it?”

Jasmine pondered and then said, “At the time, he mentioned that a friend of his, who dabbled in antiques, decided to part with it due to financial constraints, and the price was indeed quite reasonable. It could have fetched around four to five million on the market, and possibly even more—around five to six million. However, that individual’s asking price hadn’t even reached four million at the time. It still promised a decent profit, so I suggested he acquire it.”

“I see,” Jagoan murmured, nodding to himself. This outcome didn’t surprise him. It appeared that Felix had specifically journeyed to Aurous Hill to seek employment at Vintage Deluxe and had even offered the jade pot and spring vase at a discounted rate. It was all part of a grand plan to acquire the “Apocalyptic Book.”

This begged the question, had his father bequeathed the “Apocalyptic Book” to him?

If his father had indeed obtained the “Apocalyptic Book” back then, why hadn’t he delved into its teachings?
