Alex smiled and said, “You’re pretty good at getting the news. I just got the contract during the day, and you already know about it.”
“What’s good about that?” replied Susan Hunter. “In our line of business, information is the most important thing. Sometimes, even a small piece of information is enough to save lives. But you kid, are obviously William’s son, and you lied about being his brother. Don’t you think I should punish you?”
“You know about that?”
“I had a meal with your mother the other day. Do you think I am blind?”
“Alright, fine. William is indeed my father, and I didn’t do it because I was afraid it would embarrass you. Also, I didn’t want my mother to know of your existence.”
“Okay, this is a matter between adults. I’ll take measures to make sure I don’t trouble you… Tonight, I have an appointment with several tomb raiders who once entered Caesar’s tomb. Come have a chat with us. After they came out from the tomb, they’ve become as meek as sheep, and they definitely don’t want to go back in. It depends on whether you can persuade them and give them what they want.”
“Alright, give me the address!” Alex replied.
“Prosperous Hotel, Room 1208!”

“I’ll head over at 12.”
***
At 11.45 that night, Alex drove to the lobby of Prosperous Hotel.
Before this, he had learned from Susan that she had found four people. One of them was Darven Mikail, a Southeast Asian
shaman who specialized in venomous insects and poisons. Alex had already met him, so it wouldn’t be difficult to win him over.
The other was called Kenneth Sunder, nicknamed Magic Hand. He was a miracle thief, light and frivolous in nature.
The third was Freya Mayer, and he was an exorcist. Rumor had it that he was a descendent of the Exorcist Dragons.
The last one was one of the Drifters, called Zayne York.
Save for Darven. The other three had their own demands. If Alex were unable to satisfy them, this business transaction would definitely be impossible. However, according to what Susan had said, Caesar’s tomb was full of traps and danger, and without the help of these experts, they would’ve never returned from their venture into the tomb.
“Just try your best. Whether they follow us down or not, I will definitely still go. Even if we have to turn over the entire tomb, we still need to know where your father went.”
Grant had once said that William’s disappearance might be related to Brittany‘s illness. But today, Alex had carefully checked over Brittany’s physical condition and found her very healthy. What illness did she have? Thus, Grant might have possibly made a mistake.
As he thought about it, he walked into the hotel.
There happened to be a young girl who ran out in a panic, and it looked like she wasn’t paying attention to the road ahead of her, bumping headfirst into Alex.
“Oh!”
