Making 169
In the Westons‘ Residence.
In a study, Norman, dressed in a suit, stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling ss window with a
cane.
The Westons‘ residence was adorned with lush greenery, various nts, 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 ck 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
argepany.
This man was Tobias’s father, Thomas Weston.
Then, Thomas turned to his son and said, “It’s just that,ter 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 ck Hawks. The ck
Hawks weed 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 ck Hawks?”
Norman turned around, waved his hand at Tobias, and said, “No, I’m not one of them.
“The ck 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 ck Hawks decided not to be
entangled in the matter and allowed us to leave.”
“The ck 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 ck
Hawks don’t need to antagonize that sect to shield us
“It appears that our sect is no more, and as a result, the ck 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 exined.
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 n.”
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 ck Hawks, if he has made amitment 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 coboration 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 ce Gilmore had once been, where rows of storage
cabs 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 ced in the safe.
The reason he knew that Cooper and Dean had stored important bank cards and confidential letters
at the insurancepany 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 be 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 ck 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
being 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 ck.
This note was left by Gilmore when he came to retrieve the itentst time.
This was the superpower of his God’s Eye. He had known in advance that Lawrence woulde to
take these things.
Hence, he had a cunning n and left this note solely to taunt Lawrence.
“Dad, who is this masked man in ck?” 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.
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 ck.
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 ck, I must find you and tear you to pieces!”
Lawrence tore the note into pieces and gritted his teeth.
