Chapter 206

It had been over twenty years since her grandmother went insane.

She would call out to this “Ruby” every time her condition acted up.

Felicity had tried asking her parents and other family members. However, they either refused to answer

or brush her away.

Mr. Snyder Sr. spoke to her solemnly, which was a rare occasion. “Don’t ask questions about things

you shouldn’t be asking about. I will tell you when the time is right!”

At Royal Bay, Jonford.

Nash informed Hera and her parents that the culprit was now dead.

The three hugged and cried tears of joy.

Maria dabbed at the tears that had welled in her

eyes.

Harrison clapped a hand to Nash’s back. “Nashy… you traveled thousands of miles just to catch the

murderer, so I’m sure Mr. Lewis will rest easy now!”

Nash smiled. “Don’t mention it!”

Lauren glanced at Harrison. “Didn’t you say Mr. Lewis had left that box behind for Nash?”

“Oh, right…”

Harrison picked up a box from the couch and handed it to Nash. “He had been protecting this box with

his life. We spent ages trying to figure out how to open it, but we still haven’t figured it out!”

The cube-shaped box did not have a lid or a lock. It looked like a piece of metal.

It was extremely light, but you could immediately tell it held something inside it because of the rattling

sounds it made when you shook it.

“This is a burr puzzle made using interlocked pieces of machinery!”

Nash pressed his palm down on the top of the box, ejecting pieces of metal from all four sides.

He swiftly re-arranged the metal pieces, looking like he was playing a game as he did that.

“Are these magnets?”

Hera propped her chin on her hands and gazed at the box curiously.

“No, they aren’t magnets, but a rare type of chemical compound instead. Chemical reactions that occur

at the cracks allow the pieces to fuse as one, but the bonds holding them together are extremely weak.

You can break them by simply pushing on them!”

Nash explained as he continued pushing the metal pieces.

Hera nodded.

Nash did not stop adjusting the metal pieces for the next thirty minutes.

Hera yawned. “Are you sure you can do it?”

Nash smiled. “Do you want to know?”

“What?” Hera was stunned.

“Nothing!”

Nash lowered his head and continued adjusting the metal pieces.

Harrison and Lauren exchanged glances.

They quickly averted their gazes after that.

Crack!

The box let out a crisp-sounding crack.

Then, the four sides of the box fell downwards like blooming petals.

Hera immediately jerked to attention and leaned forth to see what the box contained.

Harrison and Lauren also leaned forth.

A bundle of yellowing papyrus.

An incomplete map, and a gold ring in the shape of a dragon.

Nash carefully unfurled the papyrus, which was covered in difficult-to-decipher hieroglyphs.

It was also difficult to tell what was drawn on the incomplete map, and none of them could recognize

the landmarks that had been labeled.

“Nash, did your master leave these items behind for you?”

Hera had a curious look as she turned to Nash and asked him in a gentle voice.

Nash shook his head. “I don’t know either…”

“Then… What did my grandfather say when he asked to speak to you at the hospital?”

“He told me to take good care of you!”

Nash made up a random excuse.

He could not let anyone know of his true identity, even if they were people he knew and trusted.

Herman Lewis’ entire family had nearly gotten killed simply because he had gone to the Young Family

Village.

If the Klein family learned he was from the Young Family Village, there was no doubt they would kill

him.

His friends and family would not be spared either if that happened.

“Grandpa…”

Tears welled in Hera’s eyes.

Lauren’

gaze turned absent-minded as she gazed at the gold ring.
