Chapter 895: Let Who Go In


    Theodore’s face instantly darkened and his body was emitting a domineering aura.


    Gideon was in awe of this master, who was in charge of the formidable Turner family.


    Cold sweat instantly dripped down from his forehead. Almost instinctively, he wanted to step back


    and give up.


    However, he gritted his teeth, tensed his body, looked at Ernest and said,


    “Mr. Hawkins, this is what you’ve promised me. I must personally go inside to get the thing I want.”


    “What is the thing that you must go in personally to get it?”


    Theodore asked in a gruff voice. He was staring at Gideon sharply and alertly.


    He was uneasy as Gideon was brought over by Ernest. If Ernest also agreed to let him go in, things


    would be very tricky.


    The Turner vault was keeping the invaluable treasures of the whole n. He could never let an


    outsider get in to pry into their secrets.


    Gideon looked sideways at Theodore and hesitated for a few seconds before answering,


    “What I want is The Book of Herbs.”


    “The Book of Herbs?”


    Collin eximed in surprise, “Is it the book that waspiled by medicine experts from many


    countries a hundred years ago which recorded uses of all drugs and medicines?”


    It could be said that this book was a massive encyclopaedia of all the creatures and drugs in the


    world.


    This point alone wouldn''t make it so special, but the most important thing about it was that it


    contained detailed uses of each drug and even many precious drugs that already went extince.


    Moreover, it also recorded a lot of experimental methods tobine several drugs to achieve the


    efficacy of a certain drug that was rare to find.


    When this book appeared at that time, it provided solutions to cure many of the fatal illnesses that


    were once considered incurable.


    It even reached a level that was greater than that of the current medical science.


    But unfortunately, before the contents of this book had been shown to the public and applied in all


    countries, a fire urred in the research site out of the blue and almost everyone died.


    As for this book, it was said that it had been burnt but there was also a legend which said it went


    missing.


    In the past hundred years, no one had even seen its whereabouts.


    A hint of excitement shed in Gideon’s eyes. He nodded.


    “That''s it.”


    He loved collecting herbs. If he got The Book of Herbs, he would be able to own almost all the


    medicinal herbs in the world.


    The thing he appreciated the most inside the book was that it had recorded the location of all the


    precious medicinal herbs.


    Collin’s eyes flickered. He held back the excitement in his heart and asked.


    “How do you know that The Book of Herbs is inside the vault of the Turner family?”


    As far as he knew, even Theodore the family master also did not know what could be found inside


    the vault.


    Gideon exined frankly, “I love collecting medicinal herbs. For so many years, I got many


    collections that are almost extinct in the world. That’s why a precious thing like Cocos can be found


    by me. I put a lot of efforts in obtaining relevant information and I learnt by ident that The Book of


    Herbs was stored in the vault of the Turner family.”


    What exact kind of ident was it that he could know about the vault and even that The Book of


    Herbs was inside?


    Theodore looked at him questioningly and said, “Since you want the book only, I’ll just go in and


    take it out for you.”


    Because Ernest had promised him and it was just a book, he could give it to Gideon.


    To Theodore, this kind of book was precious but there was not much use for him.


    Gideon shook his head, “If that would work, I wouldn’t have requested to go into the vault myself.


    The man who revealed the news to me at that time said that The Book of Herbs was not like an


    ordinary book. Although it was disguised as an ordinary book with a random name on the cover, but


    there was a special imprint on it, and one has to touch carefully to feel it so as to identify the book.


    Back then, I happened to have touched the simtion of the imprint and now I can vaguely


    remember the feeling. But if you want me to draw it, it’s tooplicated so I can’t.”


    His statement was perfect and not refutable.


    If it was such a special book, others indeed could not find it after going in. Gideon had to go find it in


    person.


    Theodore''s face darkened. In that case, Gideon really must go in?


    But it was the their family''s confidential zone. How could he let outsiders go in?


    He pondered for a moment, turned around and walked to Ernest’s side, whispering in his ear,


    “Ernest, the vault is an absolute secret of the Turner family. If outsiders go in and see what they


    shouldn’t, it will be a fatal blow to the Turner family. Since you’ve already taken the Cocos, Gideon


    is useless. There is no need toply with what you promised him. Our family has plenty of


    priceless treasures. Just pick one topensate him. If he refuses to give up, then we can consider


    killing him.”


    When it reached thest part of his sentence, Theodore’s eyes were shining coldly.


    He was even nning in his mind how to have his subordinates get rid of Gideon on the spot when


    he was caught off guard.


    To him, a person who had no more use could be gotten rid of anytime.


    Gideon was sensitive and seemed to have sensed Theodore’s intention to kill him. His face instantly


    turned pale slightly.


    He hurriedly looked at Ernest and spoke, “Mr. Hawkins, Cocos is the treasure that can save my life.


    The reason why I gave it to you is that I hope to get The Book of Herbs so that I can find other


    recement medicine to save my life. Mr. Hawkins, I believe you’re a man of his word, that’s why I


    gave you the Cocos without hesitation. You’ll keep your promise andplete the deal, right?”


    These words were a reminder and even sounded like he was begging him.


    To be frank, Gideon now had nothing to rely on other than Ernest’s promise.


    He might even lose his life at any time.


    Theodore’s face darkened and he continued saying, “There is no need to abide by the so-called


    moral righteousness. Our family is extremely powerful, so we’re the ruler. Ernest, don’t be too


    merciful and lenient. Just take his life now.”

    Theodore didn''t even bother to hide his murderous intent.


    The atmosphere was getting intense and chilling.


    Ernest, however, looked indifferent throughout the whole process and his handsome face was


    expressionless.


    He cast a casual nce at Gideon who was panicking and his tone was unperturbed.


    “Since I’ve promised you, I’ll let you go in to get it.”


    Gideon heaved a heavy sigh of relief.


    Theodore’s face instantly turned livid. He no longer suppressed his voice and shouted.


    “Ernest Hawkins, didn’t you hear my words? No outsider is allowed to go into the vault! I’m still the


    master of the family. I make the decision here.”


    Ernest’s lips slightly curled. He turned his head and looked at Theodore with a sarcastic smile.


    “What if I insist on doing it? Does Grandpa intend to kill me and stop me outside as well, and let the


    vault remain sealed?”


    After a pause, Ernest shrugged nonchntly, “If you wish to keep it that way, I''m totally fine with


    it.”
