Chapter 449 - Chapter 449: Seal of Solomon (2/2)
Calon’s body shuddered violently, his eyes filled with terror as he stared fixedly at Chen Yu.
“The Knights of the Round Table would actually come to sit on a boat like this?”
Chen Yu didn’t want to deal with the guy, so he squatted down, helped the old man up, and took the box from his hand at the same time.
“Old man, what exactly happened?”
The old man was holding the box and sobbing bitterly.
“I just took my family’s heirloom to him for an appraisal, I never thought these people would insist it belonged to their family and falsely accuse me of being a thief.”
Chen Yu frowned and opened the box directly, discovering a square, ink-black seal inside.
The object looked simple and unadorned, but there were some very strange characters engraved at the bottom of the seal.
Chen Yu took a quick look and found that the characters were actually Cybele script.
“This is the Seal of Solomon!”
Calon burst out laughing, “It seems that this gentleman’s origins must be extraordinary, to recognize at a glance that this is the Seal of Solomon.”
Martin Nolan sighed softly and stepped closer to Chen Yu, lowering his voice.
“This guy is a descendant of Solomon!”
Chen Yu exhaled lightly, if that were indeed the case, calling the old man a thief might not be too much of a stretch.
But the Solomon Empire was an ancient country from over three thousand years ago, and many things had since been lost.
Maybe this object had been passed down in the old man’s family for generations.
Chen Yu had dealt with cases concerning the ownership of ancient artifacts before, and most of them ended unresolved.
“Judging from the quality of the seal, it is undoubtedly authentic! Moreover, its luster indicates that the old man has preserved it very well.”
After admiring the seal for a moment, Chen Yu went straight to Calon.
“Since you are a descendant of the Solomon Empire, the ownership of this seal is beyond doubt! However, since the old gentleman has preserved it for such a long time, shouldn’t he be properly compensated?”
Calon was momentarily stunned.
If Chen Yu were anyone else, Calon would never agree to such a suggestion, but if Chen Yu were truly a Knight of the Round Table, he couldn’t refuse.
“Our ancestor’s treasures have always been passed down within our family. This old geezer doesn’t even have the surname Solomon, yet he has our precious seal. Isn’t that theft?”
Calon defended himself again and took out a token from his person.
Martin Nolan was also stunned when he saw the token, not having expected that Calon had connections with the Lakato Family.
The current Lakato Family was united and as powerful as the Knights of the Round Table.
Indeed, in such a case, Chen Yu really couldn’t handle this guy.
But what neither of them expected was for Chen Yu to directly take out a master token of the Lakato family from his person.
There were only two such tokens within the Lakato family, one of which was in the hands of the old man in the mountains, and the other had been given to the family’s second-in-command.
Calon’s breathing became hasty, “How is this possible? If you’re a Knight of the Round Table, how did you also join the Lakato family as their second-in-command?”
Chen Yu immediately put on an arrogant manner and took out another token from the Xuanqing Sect.
“It’s mainly because my charm is too great, all the powers are crying and begging me to join them, especially the Lakato family, who appointed me as the Grand Sorcerer the moment I joined! It’s nearly driven me mad.”
In the Lakato Family, the most important position is that of the Wizard, and the title of Grand Sorcerer is almost a position above the old man in the mountains, allowing for easy control of all of the Lakato family’s resources.
For such an existence, killing a Calon would be as easy as pie!
