Chapter 946

The few of them looked at Nell, whom the old man was pointing at.

Nell felt awkward and coughed slightly. She asked him, "So that means the jade’s really with your great-granddaughter, Flora?”

Grandpa Brooks' face, which had been joyful before this, sank all of a sudden.

He sighed.

"Yes, it’s with her, but I didn't give it to her. She secretly took it away."

Nell was stunned and a little puzzled.

"What do you mean by that?"

Grandpa Brooks sneered.

"Well, what does that mean? What else could it mean? That girl’s just an ungrateful child. I raised her for so many years and thought she would be by my side until I die. Who knew, she suddenly met a man and ran off with him after his sweet talk. She even took some treasures from the house when she left. The Arcane Jade that you guys want so much should’ve been taken by her. So if you really want it, don’t bother me. Go find her instead! If you manage to find her, it’s yours. If you can’t...”

The old man shook his head and continued, "Tsk tsk...I've already told you everything I can. If you still can't find it, you can't blame me."

The whole group was a bit shocked.

Nell was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Alright. Don't worry, we’ll find it. We'll let you know when we find them."

This time, Grandpa Brooks did not say anything.

Nell and the rest got up, bid him farewell, and turned to leave.

After leaving the Brooks Villa, the group stood on the road. All of them were at a loss.

What they thought was a sure thing had gone out of their grasp again, so everyone was in a bad mood.

Vickie was the first to ask, "What are we going to do now?"

Nell frowned and said, "Of course we’ll have to find her, but I heard that Flora’s been missing for some time. Grandpa Brooks also looked for her but to no avail. I don't think we'll be able to find her for a while. We certainly can't stay here, so why don't we go back to the capital first and think of a solution? What do you think?"

Naturally, Gideon had no opinion about that.

Gregory, on the other hand, had some disapproval.

His eyes were dark and his voice was cold.

"I disagree. Who knows if that old man’s lying? What if it wasn't with his great-granddaughter at all?"

Nell looked at him and asked, "So what do you want to do?"

"Search the house."

He paused for a moment, and in the end, also felt that this was not quite appropriate, so he added, "I won't give up until I search the house."

Nell was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

"Okay then, we'll make arrangements for the return trip, but we won't leave yet. Let’s wait until it's dark, then we'll go with you to search his house once more. If we don't find it, we'll leave. Then, we'll think of a way to find Flora."

Gregory nodded his head.

After the few of them agreed, they left the place without lingering any longer.

Soon, the sun went down and it was nightfall.

Four shadows sneaked into the Brooks Villa.

At this time, Grandpa Brooks was already asleep.

Nell sneaked into the bedroom first and knocked the old man unconscious with a karate-chop. She then signaled the other three to search the villa in detail.

The villa was not too big nor too small.

The piece of Arcane Jade was so tiny, so it was not easy to find.

The other three people left the bedroom to look elsewhere, and Nell was in charge of searching the bedroom where Grandpa Brooks lived all these years.

After looking around, she did not find the Arcane Jade in the bedroom.

In the end, her eyes landed on Grandpa Brooks.

Frankly speaking, Nell did not hate the old man.

Therefore, when faced with a body search at this time, she still felt a little guilty.

Nell stood by the bed and bowed respectfully.

“I'm really sorry, Grandpa Brooks. We have no other choice.”

After she said that, she reached out and searched the old man’s body.

However, after the search, she found that the old man did not have the piece of jade on his body.

She also carefully searched around the bed and even under the bed frame, but still could not find it.

Nell had no choice but to sigh and turned to go outside.

After about an hour, the other three also finished their search.

All four of them met up in the living room, and Nell asked, "How was it? Did you guys find it?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

Nell then knew that they did not find anything.

She sighed and whispered, "If that's the case, then that means the jade isn't here. Let's go."

Gideon nodded, and only then did the group leave the Brooks Villa.

However, what they did not see was that as soon as they left, Grandpa Brooks, who had been lying in his bedroom, opened his eyes and sat up.

He looked out of the window in the direction of the group's departure and smirked. He rolled over and got out of bed, then took a jacket from the side, put it on, and stepped out.

Nell and the group soon took the car to the city and then to the airport.

The autumn night breeze was very cold. The group first arrived excited but was at a loss on the way back. Everyone's mood was not too good.

Nell patted Vickie's shoulder comfortingly and said encouragingly, "Don't be too sad. The good thing is that we already know that the jade’s with Flora.

The next thing we need to do is to search for her with all our might, then we’ll get some results."

Vickie nodded her head and barely smiled.

The group then boarded the plane.

At this time, on the other side.

Grandpa Brooks quickly walked to an old tree at the edge of the village, then looked warily around before he whistled.

A dark shadow soon came out of the darkness.

Grandpa Brooks looked at him with cold eyes, "Where is she?"

The man sneered.

"What's the hurry? You haven't given it to me yet."

Grandpa Brooks looked determined.

"Bring her out first for me to see, then I’ll hand it over."

The man's face was unrelenting.

"Are you making the requests, or am I the one with the terms? If you don't hand it over, I'll kill her immediately!"

As soon as the words were said, someone suddenly came out clapping not far away.

"How exciting! So you've been refusing to tell us the whereabouts of the Arcane Jade because of this!"

They were both shocked and turned around to see that it was Nell and Gideon's group coming out of the shadows.

Their faces changed dramatically.

Nell walked up to Grandpa Brooks with a smile. The old man was surprised and pointed at them.

"You, you...”

Nell smiled and said, "Grandpa Brooks, you’re very surprised, right? There's no hurry. It's too cold here, so let's go back to the house and talk."

The old man's face was complicated, and in the end, he followed them back reluctantly.
