Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

Garland fidgeted, never expecting Bert to bring over Edgar.

Back then, Juan had brought Edgar to him and asked him to interrogate Edgar. Garland had pretended to be Fermin. Now the charade was crumbling.

Garland stammered, "What? It has nothing to do with me."

Erica jabbed a finger at him. "You knew the secret all along and kept mum?"

Randy side-eyed him. "Made us run in circles."

Liza, on the other hand, was totally confused.

Garland quickly turned to Debra for help. She figured that it must be Fermin.

Unwilling to expose anything in front of Edgar, she chimed in, "He already told me, but I need your confirmation. Edgar, what is the secret?"

Edgar sneered, "This is pathetic. The Four Great Families don't even know their own treasure."

Erica's fists clenched. "Want me to rip that mouth of yours?"

Randy tugged her back. "Chill. Beat him up after he talks." Erica held back her temper for the greater picture.

Edgar revealed, "Think ordinary stuff lured everyone here? Centuries ago, a fleeing emperor buried his entire treasury here in Seamar City The four families found and hid it."

Randy chimed in, "That's not so luring. Just gold."

"That's not just any ordinary treasure," Edgar said. "When the emperor fled, the treasures he carried with him were said to be the entire national treasury. The army that transported them stretched for mites. Later, the emperor left behind an empty city for the enemy, and they buried the treasures deep underground. You could say that beneath this city lies a mountain of gold." noveldrama

Both Erica and Randy were intrigued. They weren't so interested in the wealth itself but rather curious about what this so-called "mountain of gold" might look like.

If what Edgar said was true, it would be quite a spectacle.

"No wonder," Debra murmured.

Erica asked, "Did you figure something out?"

Debra nodded thoughtfully. "During the turmoil of a hundred years ago, the emperor fled with his family and buried all the national treasure along with the Imperial Seal. Everything else may be of little importance, but the Seal, having endured through the centuries, would be priceless. Legend says whoever holds it is the rightful ruler of the world. But of course, these are just rumors. In the end, these things are just material possessions. The Odom family has already prospered, so why bother seeking out such treasures?"
