hapter 639 Cansington was an ancient cultural capital with a long history.
It used to be the capital of eight dynasties in the past.
Medical Street was the attraction of Cansington. Additionally, there was also Antique Street. :
Antique Street was also a lively area. There were hundreds of antique shops located on the street. Some were even
century-old shops.
James and Cynthia arrived at Antique Street together.
The streets were full of stalls.
There were many antiques and paintings displayed on these stalls. Some customers squatted on the ground and
carefully selected goods, hoping to get the best deals.
“James, do you know a lot about antiques?” Cynthia asked as she followed James and observed the streets.
James shook his head. “Nope.”
He had been in the army for ten years. All he did was special training every day. The only thing he faced in the past
was murderous weapons. Therefore, he had never come across antiques before.

of hawkers who set up stalls on these streets sell fake products. They target those who have no understanding of
antiques. The authentic stuff is usually at auctions, not in these street stalls. Of course, there are some antique
shops that sell some good stuff...”
Cynthia was from a wealthy family and had an extensive understanding of antiques. She patiently explained it to
James because she thought James came to the area because he was interested in antiques. However, James was
not interested in these at all.
Thus, he listened absent-mindedly.
Soon, they arrived at the Sovereign Antique Shop. The shop had many years of history and was relatively reputable
on Antique Street. The shop had two floors, each extending to more than 500 square meters. James walked into the
shop, As soon as they entered, an old man dressed in a suit approached and greeted them. “Young man, have a
look around. I don’t mean to boast, but the stuff in my antique shop is all of top quality. Whatever dynasty’s
antiques you’re looking for, you will surely find in my shop!”

The old man began to advertise his shop. James glanced around the shop. There were many people carefully
searching for antiques that pleased them. James turned to look at the old man again.
From the information he obtained, the shop owner was called Yuri and was about forty years old. Evidently, this
man was not the owner. Yuri was the subordinate of the Red Flame army’s commander, the Emperor. The man who
attacked Scarlett’s gang and stole the treasure chest at the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain was
called Floyd. He was a very infamous and powerful man in the criminal world. Floyd was also working under the
Emperor. According to the intel, Floyd had brought the treasure chest to the Sovereign Antique Shop and met with
Yuri.
“You have everything?”
James casually glanced around and asked indifferently. “Yes, we can help you get it as long as you request it.
Sovereign Antique Shop is a nationwide franchise and is incredibly influential,” the old man bragged.
James said calmly, “I heard the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain was robbed, and the treasures were
brought to Cansington a few months ago. Could you get your hands on such stuff too?”
Hearing this, the old man was stunned.
He smiled instantly and said, “I didn’t expect you to have such wide intel. I only received news of it a few days ago,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut you’ve already got hold of the news so quickly. Well, you’re right. There have indeed been a lot of things taken
out of the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”
The old man began to advertise again.
“A thousand years ago, the Prince of Orchid Mountain was an influential man from a rich family. He liked to collect
some rare things. After he died, these things were buried with him. We did indeed collect some things that were
unearthed from his ancient tomb. I don’t know what it is you seek, but as long as you can name it, i’ll get it for you.”
Cynthia whispered, “James, don’t be fooled. I’ve heard about this too. Nothing good has been unearthed from the
ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain. Rumors say that it is just a broken chest that can’t be opened.”
*Cough.”
The old man smiled embarrassedly. “It seems this young lady is also an expert and had heard of the news. Since
she is an expert, I won’t hide it from you either. She is not wrong. Nothing has been unearthed from the ancient
tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain. Only a chest was retrieved, which is currently at our shop.”
James could not tell which parts of the old man’s words were the truth or lies.
He simply came to have a look and never expected to obtain the chest unearthed from the

ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain from the shop. “Let me have a look.”
