Chapter 640 “Young man, this chest isn’t an ordinary one. We keep it in a bank safe. I will have to request approval
from my boss if you want to see it. However, not everyone is allowed to take a look at it. How about you leave an
identity for me so I can talk to iny boss about it.” Before James spoke, Cynthia interrupted, “I’m from the Dawns of
the North. My father is Zane Dawn.” “Alright. I’ll inform my boss right away. The two of you can continue looking
around the shop.” Afterward, the old man left.
Cynthia pulled James and said, “Let’s look around for a bit, James.”
“Alright.” James nodded lightly. The old man went to an office on the third floor and gently knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
A voice sounded from inside the office.
The old man pushed open the door and walked inside the office. He said respectfully, “Boss, there is someone here
to ask about the chest unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”

“Has he finally come? It’s been so long, and I was starting to get tired of waiting. Was it James?”
A middle-aged man in his forties sat at the desk in the office. Hearing the news, he looked at the old man standing
beside him with a smile. “Yes, It’s James. He came along with the daughter of Zane Dawn from the North.”

out his phone and dialed a number. “Emperor, James has shown up at the shop asking for the ancient box
unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”
“Give it to him.”
A voice came sounded from the other end of the phone. “Understood.” After Yuri received the order, he hung up
the phone and ordered someone to get the ancient box from the bank safe. At the same time, the Emperor, who
was far away in a country of the Southern Plains’ borders, gentled and massaged his forehead.
“James, James. I really want to kill you, but I f*cking can’t.” The Emperor had a headache. James had interfered
with his plans. Without him dead, it would be hard to carry out his plans. However, James had shown up at the
