Chapter 1639

James did not say anything else.

Since this was not the entrance, he did not have to stay there.

He turned around and began walking toward the summit.

With a stride, he appeared a hundred meters away.

With a few strides, he appeared halfway up the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the summit.

Tapio was not slow either, following closely behind James.

The mountain summit had a flat terrain.

The ground was completely bare.

Looking around the barren landscape, James asked, “Is there an entrance here?” Tapio plopped

himself down on the ground and said, “It’s definitely here.

Let's wait here for a while.

The Blithes probably haven't arrived yet.” “Tl believe you for now.” James also sat down.

They sat for over an hour.

After more than an hour, some people finally reached the summit.

They were a group of people dressed in suits.

There were evena few elders among them.

The elders were carrying some ancient equipment.

The head of the group was the Patriarch of the Blithe family, Donovan Blithe.

Donovan had been here with his people for a few days.

During that time, they were constantly surveying the area.

“Patriarch, it’s here.

It’s right here,” an elder, who was holding a geomantic compass, exclaimed with delight.

However, Donovan did not respond, as he had seen two people sitting on some rocks straight ahead.

He did not recognize one of them, but he knew the other.

Tapio saw Donovan and the others showed up as well.

He looked at James and said, “I wasn’t wrong, was I? The entrance is at the top of this mountain.”

James cast a doubtful glance at Tapio.

Donovan had the floor plan of the traps, but he had to go through a lot of trouble to find the mountain's

summit.

How did Tapio know that the entrance was at the top of the mountain? At this moment, Donovan

walked over.

“James, why are you here?” James looked at Donovan as well and asked, “Why are you here?”

Donovan said with a smile, “I've recently become obsessed with archaeology, and I’m quite bored, so

I'm traveling around with some people.” “Really?” James gave a faint smile and said, “You're not really

traveling around, Donovan.

The truth is that you want to enter King Quavon's Mausoleum, right? Donovan, you've got a lot of

nerve.

King Quavon's Mausoleum is a national heritage conservation center, but you’re trying to raid it?”

Donovan was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile, “ James, you’re overthinking.

I’m just here to take a look.” There was a smile on his face, but in his head, he was throwing curses at

James’ entire lineage.

‘Damn it, James.

Why is he here? Could it be that he came specifically to stop me because he knew I wanted to enter

King Quavon's Mausoleum? No, I must get rid of him.’ After having these thoughts, he walked over with

a grin on his face.

“James, I mean, Emperor.

That’s not my intention at all.

I recently became interested in archaeology, so I'm currently just traveling around.

I'm also thinking about going to Mount White.

I've heard that buried beneath Mount White is an ancient ruin.” He started making up stories.

“Oh, really? I’m interested as well.

Should we go together?” James looked at Donovan with a wide grin.

The muscles on Donovan’s face twitched.

“You have a lot on your plate, Emperor.

The election is approaching.

Why are you wandering around aimlessly when you should be watching over the Capital?” James’ face

darkened, and he said coldly, “Don’t play dumb with me, Donovan.

If you want to go inside King Quavon's Mausoleum today, you have to take me with you.

Otherwise, you’re not getting in.” Donovan’s expression turned grave.

James continued, “The Blithe family's origins were already spread all over the world.

You should make your decision quickly.

If you wait any longer, the others will arrive.

We'll all be entering King Quavon's Mausoleum at the same time then, and you won't get your share of

the goodies.” “What? Everyone knows about it?” Donovan was stunned.

Only the Blithe family's inner circle was privy to this secret.

How did everyone find out about it? For a while, he was dumbstruck.

“Yes, everyone knows.” James said with a smile, “Are you going to take me with you or not? It’s your

choice.” “James, stop messing with me.” After being caught off-guard, Donovan regained his

composure and said, “There’s no way I’m taking you with me.

It’s not a big deal if I just don’t go.” Donovan knew that if James went with him, he would never get his

share of the spoils.

He was no match for James.
