Chapter 1210
"I know my dad. If there was a family heirloom, he might have stacked it away," Randy said thoughtfully.
"Why?" Debra was puzzled.
Randy shook his head. "Not everyone is like Marion's parents. They were true love to each other."
Debra didn't get his meaning. Erica leaned in and whispered, "Randy's parents had an arranged marriage. They both had someone they liked."
"I see," Debra murmured.
It was just surprising that Randy turned out so carefree despite the situation in his family.
Randy added, "I'll go home and ask my dad. If we find it, then we can confirm that the Nichols family took the gem from the Frazier family."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Debra turned to Caleb. "Grandpa, you said these four rings are the symbols of the Four Great Families. What's the secret behind them? Is it the treasure of Seamar City?"
Caleb sat down, recalling the past. "The treasure of Seamar City is just a legend. My father came here during the wars of the last century. The four families each had their roles in protecting the city, so they were highly respected. Later, when the country stabilized, everyone went into business and allied. It's said that the four families guard a secret related to Seamar City's treasure, and their prosperity is tied to it. But I've lived all these years and never seen any sign of this treasure."
He paused before continuing, "I always thought this treasure was just a myth. Otherwise, my father would have told me. There's no reason he would keep it a secret and not pass it down."
The others saw his point. This treasure, if it existed, must be of great value.noveldrama
The mastermind behind the scenes wanted to invade Seamar City. Edgar had been plotting for years,
giving
his family in Booton for it.
They had to be after something.
Caleb continued, "If this treasure was something good, my father would have mentioned it."
It made sense. Everyone wanted descendants to be wealthy and safe. If this treasure was real and beneficial, someone in the four families would know about it.
Debra fell silent, her mind racing. Either the treasure was a fake rumor, or it was something so dangerous that it couldn't be revealed. The former seemed less likely.
"Each of the four families has an ancestral hall," she said. "But all I found in ours were some strange ledgers. There was nothing else."
"Ledgers?" Caleb asked. "What kind of ledgers?"
"Just some old ones," Debra replied. "They listed prices for goods and grains, but the prices were way off."
Caleb thought for a moment. "Your family used to oversee finances, so it's not surprising they had ledgers. The prices might just be from a different era with a different currency system." '
"We looked into it," Debra explained. "Even adjusting for the currency of that time,
the prices still don't add up."
