The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 

The Prince of Orchid Mountain’s tomb, the treasure chest, the key, Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge, and Black Rose? James looked at Black Rose, gracefully clad in a black leather jacket. He got lost in his thoughts. Was it just a coincidence, or was all this part of some bigger plan? 

“General, please grant me your protection,” Black Rose said again, a pleading expression on her face. James glanced at her.

 “You just told me that someone murdered all your companions. Not only did you not run away, but you followed the attacker to Cansington. Now, you’re asking for my protection. How is this logical?” 

Black Rose explained, “The murderer who took the chest isn’t the mastermind. The murderer wants the box for himself, so he did not hand it over to the mastermind.Instead, he escaped to Cansington, lying low. It’s why I followed him here. I have the key. If the mastermind finds out, I wouldn’t survive.” 

“Who’s the mastermind?” Black Rose shook her head. 

“I’m not sure. I never dealt with them. It was always my eldest brother, but he’s dead now.” 

“Who’s the murderer?” 

“I don’t know either. It was pure chaos in the tomb. I was heavily injured, and it was dark. I didn’t manage to get a good look as I was trying to survive.” James held his hand out.

 “And the key?” Black Rose reached behind, giving him a key she fished out from her pocket. James studied it. It was small and utterly normal. It looked like any other key. 

“Is this it?”
