In the Westons‘ Residence.
In a study, Norman, dressed in a suit, stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling glass window with a cane.
The Westons‘ residence was adorned with lush greenery, various plants, fountains, and swimming pools. “Grandpa, how did you get to know Lawrence? Tobias, who was sitting on the sofa in the study, asked his grandfather. At Langford Tower, Norman and Lawrence shared a meal to discuss their strategy for dealing with Denton and Gilmore.
It was obvious that Norman had known Lawrence for an extended period.
However, Tobias could not ask his grandfather about it in front of Lawrence.
It was only at this moment that the three of them, Tobias, his father, and his grandfather, Tobias finally voiced his inner doubts.
“Your grandfather was once a practitioner of martial arts in a sect in Sunsbury, and this sect has consistently maintained a strong contrection with the Black Hawks, Tobias.”
At this time, an old man in his fifties sitting on another sofa said.
This man was dressed in a suit and tie, resembling a businessman. He appeared to be the head of a large company.
This man was Tobias’s father, Thomas Weston.
Then, Thomas turned to his son and said, “It’s just that, later on your grandfather’s sect had a life– and–death feud with other
sects.
“Your grandfather’s sect was dismantled during this major conflict. Your grandfather and a few others were fortunate enough
to escape.
“In order to evade pursuit by the enemy, they sought refuge with the Black Hawks. The Black Hawks welcomed them due to their long–standing friendship.
“Lawrence once took care of your grandfather and the others, so your grandfather and Lawrence knew each other.” Tobias looked at his grandfather in surprise and said, “Grandpa, it turns out that you’re from the Black Hawks?”
Norman turned around, waved his hand at Tobias, and said, “No, I’m not one of them.
“The Black Hawks provided us shelter for a few days out of respect for our old friendship.
“After we recovered and the situation had calmed down, the Black Hawks decided not to become entangled in the matter and allowed us to leave.”
“The Black Hawks is so ruthless. They asked you and others to leave only after a few days?” Tobias was a little indignant Norman looked very calm. “My original sect has been obliterated The Black Hawks don’t need to antagonize that sect to shield us
“It appears that our sect is no more, and as a result, the Black Hawks association with us has ceased They did their best to
provide us refuge for a few days.”

Then, Norman looked at Tobias and Thomas and said, “I just didn’t expect to meet Lawrence again in Langford Tower today.
“With the help of Lawrence, we can deal with Denton to get the treasure map.”
“Dad, the Carter family business is a high–tech enterprise with incredible profits. If we can get rid of Denton, the Westons can seize the chance to gain control of Carter Semiconductors and all the Carter family’s assets, Thomas remarked, his eyes filled with sagacity.
“Well, Thomas, the Carter family’s wealth is no more than 10 billion at most. However, if you obtain the treasure map Denton, it will lead to the treasures left behind by an emperor from a thousand years ago in history. The value of these treasures is thousands of times greater than that of the Carters, Norman explained.
Norman had a cold smile on his face.
A look of surprise appeared on Thomas’s face, even though he knew the rumors about the King’s Treasure Map.
But that was only a rumor. After all, no one had actually seen the treasure.
Therefore, in Thomas’s opinion, the Carter family’s wealth was what he desired the most.
Now that he heard his father’s words, Thomas was still shocked.
Was the value of the treasure more than ten thousand times greater than the Carter family’s wealth?
Even Tobias, who was standing at the side, was dumbstruck.
After a long while, Tobias came to his senses and asked, “Grandpa, are there truly that many treasures?”
Norman said, “Of course! Do you know how many people have lost their lives for this treasure map all these years?”
“In three days, at the gathering of the top ten families, everything will proceed as per our plan.”
Thomas and Tobias solemnly replied, “Yes!”
Knock knock.
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the study.
Norman asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Sir, Lawrence and his son just said that they have something to do and left the manor. Do we need to send someone to follow them?” Mr. Johnson asked from outside the door.
Norman frowned slightly and said, “No need.”
“Yes, sir.” Mr. Johnson answered, then left.
Tobias asked his grandfather, “Grandpa, why did Lawrence, leave the manor?
Could it be that he can’t wait to make a move against Gilmore and Denton at the party?”
Norman raised his hand and stated, “No, Lawrence has no intention of causing trouble for Gilmore and Denton.

“As the top master of the outer gate of the Black Hawks, if he has made a commitment to us, he is unlikely to change his mind easily. He likely has other matters to attend to.”
“Then why didn’t you ask Mr. Johnson to send someone to follow us?” Tobias was puzzled.
“With Lawrence’s strength as a top–level internal force martial artist, he will surely detect if I dispatch someone to tail him. If he discovers that it was me who sent someone to track him, it could harm our friendship and jeopardize our collaboration to deal with Denton, Norman pointed out.
Tobias admired his grandfather’s thorough consideration.
“Hey, Tobias, did you get someone to keep an eye on Benjamin at the hotel?”
“Grandpa, don’t worry. No one could contact Benjamin since he is being closely monitored by two intermediate external force martial artists and nine inferior external martial arts experts,” Thomas reassured.
“Well, Lawrence is unlikely to be aware that Benjamin is aware of the treasure map. The likelihood of him discovering Benjamin is quite slim,” Norman said thoughtfully,
But if Lawrence wasn’t looking for Benjamin, where did he go?
The answer was that Lawrence went to LibertyShield Insurance.
The taxi that he and Clive took came to a halt in front of the Juniper Insurance building.
Then, they walked into the building
They arrived at the fifth floor of the building, a place Gilmore had once been, where rows of storage cabinets were utilized to house various valuable items.
Indeed, Lawrence came to LibertyShield Insurance to retrieve the bank cards and password letters that Cooper and Dean had placed in the safe.
The reason he knew that Cooper and Dean had stored important bank cards and confidential letters at the insurance company was because Cooper had left a letter before he died.
That letter was a secret letter that Cooper had prepared in advance to safeguard against any unforeseen events.
The letter stated that the bank card and password were kept in the security deposit box of LibertyShield Insurance, and that if he hadn’t died… someone must seek revenge on his behalf, and then all the money he had left in the safe would become the property of the person who sought vengeance for him.
Lawrence had read the letter that Cooper had left behind and was aware that Cooper and Dean had left a substantial fortune
in the safe.
He first went to No. 0088 safe, and entered the password provided in the letter on the electronic lock screen keyboard.
The door of the safe opened with a click.
However, Lawrence did not see the black handbag mentioned in the letter in the safe.
What the hell was going on?
What about the things Cooper left behind?
30 Mon, Aug 26
Suddenly, Lawrence saw a spall note in the safe, which seemed to have words written on it.

He immediately picked it up and looked at it. After reading it, he was so angry that team seemed to be coming out of his
cars.
It was written. “Hey, old man, why are you so slow? I’ve already taken the items!”
Signature: masked man in black.
This note was left by Gilmore when he came to retrieve the itent last time.
This was the superpower of his God’s Eye. He had known in advance that Lawrence would come to take these things.
Hence, he had a cunning plan and left this note solely to taunt Lawrence.
“Dad, who is this masked man in black?” Clive asked in surprise.
Lawrence did not answer, his expression dark and brooding. Instead, he swiftly approached Safe No. 1577 and unlocked it using the provided password.
Then, Lawrence suddenly looked sullen.
Just like the safe number 007, this safe was also empty. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Inside, there was only a note.
Lawrence immediately picked it up and read it.
“Old man, what are you looking at? I’ll take it away, Tsk!”
The signature was still the masked man in black.
Lawrence was so furious that his eyes widened, and his face turned red. It appeared as if he could erupt at any moment. “Bastard! Masked man in black, I must find you and tear you to pieces!”
Lawrence tore the note into pieces and gritted his teeth.
