Chapter 648

The Emperor smiled and said nothing more.

Soon, a man and woman walked toward them. It was James and Cynthia.

The Emperor immediately stood up and opened his arms to hug James. “James, what a rare visitor!”

James lifted his foot and kicked the Emperor as he said coldly, “Don’t put on an act. You know why I’m

here.”

The Emperor quickly dodged his kick and took a few steps backward. “What do you mean, James? I’ve

no idea why you’ve come to see me,” the Emperor said with a puzzled expression.

“You’re James?”

A voice sounded.

James heard the voice and turned toward the source. A young man in his twenties stood up. He was

dressed in a white shirt, looking at him disdainfully. “Who are you?” James frowned. Bobby glanced at

James and said calmly, “Bobby Caden.” James’ brows furrowed deeper.

‘Who is this person?’ The Emperor smiled and said, “James, let me introduce you. This is Bobby from

the Cadens of the Ancient Four. His grandfather is your granduncle. Strictly speaking, he’s your

cousin.”

Bobby said coldly, “Thirty years ago, Thomas Caden stole our family treasure and was long expelled

from the Cadens. He was a traitor to our family and deserved to die. Since you’re his descendent, you

should die too!”

“Since you have the treasure chest that was unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid

Mountain, hand it over to me, and I’ll let you die with your whole body intact.”

Bobby was arrogant.

He did not take James seriously at all.

The Emperor smiled and asked, “James, you came to me because you think the Moonlit Flowers on

Cliffside’s Edge is with me and must be here to retrieve it, right? However, the truth is that the Cadens

caused your family’s demise. They are the ones who retrieved the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.

Since you’re looking for it, you should ask Bobby about

“Is that so?”

James showed a hint of shock.

He knew that the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge had fallen into an influential figure’s hands in the

Capital and always thought the Emperor was the one that had it.

This was because the Emperor had countless schemes, and everything was always linked to him.

James never expected his family’s demise to be caused by the Cadens.

His eyes were fixated on Bobby.

Bobby walked to him slowly.

An extraordinary aura exuded from his body.

His aura slightly took James by surprise.

“Remnant of the traitor, kneel!” He came to James, raised his palm, and suddenly pressed it on James’

shoulder, forcing him to kneel.

James raised his hand and resisted.

At that moment, he felt the heavy weight on his resisting hand, and his knee slightly bent, showing

signs of falling to his knees. There was a storm in his heart.

‘He is incredibly strong.

‘This young man called Bobby looks to be only in his twenties but has extraordinary strength.

‘He was not inferior to the SSS-ranked assassins.’

James’ face darkened. Suddenly, he raised his hand and quickly punched Bobby’s chest.

Bobby did not expect James to be so strong. He quickly retracted his hand and blocked the punch.

Their fists met.

Crack! Instantly, the sound of broken joints resounded. Bobby was forced a few meters back from the

strong momentum. He felt a severe pain spreading from his fists, and he felt weak in his arm. His face

darkened as he glared at James.

James retracted his fists and said indifferently, “Since the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge is with

you, hand it over.
