Making Millions With The Eyes Of God.

Chapter 196

In the Carters‘ mansion.

In the mansion’s living room, Denton sipped his coffee while reading the newspaper.

Christopher and his wife were also seated on the opposite sofa, enjoying their coffee.

“Dad, do you think Claire might encounter any trouble at Star Gate? Christopher asked, concem evident in his voice.

Setting the newspaper aside, Denton looked at his son and replied, “Claire will be fine at Star Gate. Even if Sylas has taken a liking to her, let’s not forget he’s still nursing his injuries. And even if he were fully recovered, Star Gate wouldn’t allow him to act recklessly.

“Besides, Claire will likely stay at Star Gate for just one night and return tomorrow.”

Christopher nodded, “I’m probably just being overly worried.”

Miranda smiled reassuringly, “Claire is independent and capable. Why would she face any ies at Star Gate?”

“You’re right. I’m overthinking. Christopher agreed.

Just then, Denton’s phone rang.

Denton pulled out his phone, and a warm smile graced his face when he saw the caller ID.

Turning to Christopher and Miranda, he said, “Were you both just talking about Claire?

“Looks like she’s calling now.”

Upon hearing it was Claire, both Christopher and Miranda’s faces lit up with happiness. “Dad, answer it quickly!”

Denton activated the speakerphone and greeted, “Hello, Claire? Why’s my lovely granddaughter calling? “Denton, it’s me, Steve,” came the unexpected response, the voice belonging to an elderly man rather than Claire.

A hint of surprise crossed Denton’s face.

But since it was his master Steve on the line, Denton had to greet him respectfully, “Mr. Cain, I didn’t expect your call. How have you been?

“I hope Claire hasn’t caused any inconvenience at Star Gate?”

“Denton, I’m in good health, and Claire has not caused any trouble at Star Gate. Please be at ease,” Steve’s voice came over the phone.

Denton then asked, “Mr. Cain, is there something you’d like to instruct me?”

Steve responded, “Not exactly an instruction, but I’ve heard that you’ve obtained the Treasure Map. I hope you can show gratitude to our sect by handing it over to Star Gate.

Süred, once you give Star Gate the Treasure Map, we will offer you numerous benefits in return.” Steve’s voice was kind, showing a deep affection for his disciple.

“And rest

Hearing this, Denton’s face changed instantly.

Even Christopher and his wife showed shock on their faces. What Treasure Map?

Trying to regain his composure, Denton replied with a forced smile, “Mr. Cain, you must be joking with

me

“When did I ever come across the Treasure Map? If I had such a thing, I would have given it to our sect right away, as a gesture of my gratitude.”

Steve said, “Denton, I knew you’d deny it. Years ago, when you secretly got the treasure map. from the Palmer family found out. Now, his grandson, Benjamin, has informed Sylas about it

Denton’s face showed surprise once again.

Emerson!

So, decades ago, when he secretly obtained the treasure map, it was discovered by Emerson. And naturally, Benjamin must’ve learned this secret from him.

A cold glint flashed in Denton’s eyes.

So, it was Benjamin who let the cat out of the bag!

But even if the secret was out, Denton couldn’t admit to it.

Too many people and powers coveted that Treasure Map.

Acknowledging its possession would not only spell disaster for the Carter family but attract an unstoppable storm.

Moreover, the Carter family would lose the King’s Treasure, missing the opportunity to elevate themselves to a superfamily status within Eldoria.

So, Denton replied over the phone, “Mr. Cain, Emerson has always hoped that my granddaughter, Claire, would marry his grandson, Benjamin.

“But I never agreed to this union. Claire has someone she loves, so the Palmer family bears a grudge and deliberately frames me by claiming that I have the Treasure Map. Mr. Cain, please do not believe such

lies.”

“Denton, out of the bond we share as master and disciple, I’m discussing this matter with you. I’m not here to listen to your excuses, Steve’s voice on the other end grew cold and displeased.

“If you don’t hand over the Treasure Map to Star Gate by noon tomorrow, you can come to Sword Mountain to collect your granddaughter’s body.”

With that chilling threat, Steve ruthlessly ended the call.

Hearing the beep from the disconnected line, Denton’s face turned ashen.

Christopher and his wife were equally shocked.

“Dad, what do we do now?” Christopher asked urgently

After a moment to gather his thoughts, Denton replied, “Tomorrow, I’ll exchange the Treasure Map for Claire.”

Christopher looked at his father in surprise, “Dad, you actually do have the Treasure Map?”

Denton nodded, “What Steve said on the phone was true. Years ago, I used a ruse to snatch the Treasure Map from its guardian.

“Given its significance, I’ve kept this a secret, never revealing a word to anyone, including you.

“I never expected that Emerson would discover this secret from the shadows.

“Had I known the trouble this Treasure Map would bring upon our family, I never would’ve taken it.” Denton’s face showed deep regret, clearly wishing he could turn back time.

“Then, Dad, when you go to Star Gate tomorrow to save Claire, should you bring along all the martialists. from the Carter family?” Christopher voiced his concerns.

Denton said, “There’s no need. Star Gate is a prestigious sect in Oakhaven. Their leader and the three presbyters have already achieved the prowess of top–tier martialists. We only have some external force martialists. Sending more of them would be like sending lambs to the slaughter, especially since Claire is still in their hands.”

A top–tier martialist holds a skill level that transcends even those of internal force martialists.

Just as there are beginner, intermediate, and elite levels within the realm of external and internal force martialists, so too are there top–tier martialists.

If one considers external and internal force martialists as martialists, they would still be deemed

unremarkable elites.

Only upon achieving the stature of a top–tier martialist does one truly gain prominence and earn the title of a renowned martialist.

Top–tier martialists have a much deeper reservoir of internal mana than the internal force martialists. Whereas an elite internal force martialist might be described as having a trickle of mana, a top–tier martialist possesses a stream, with an internal mana intensity multiple times greater.

The difference in mana between them is astronomical, comparable to the vast chasm between the heavens and the earth.

To Denton, the status of a top–tier martialist was an aspiration far out of reach.

Despite decades of devoted training, he had never managed to ascend to that echelon.

This was precisely why he felt that there was no point in bringing the Carter family’s martialists to confront Star Gate,

Even in large numbers, when pitted against the formidable might of Star Gate’s leader and presbyters, they would face certain defeat.

The impending journey to Sword Mountain held an uncertain fate.

Denton was mentally prepared for the worst, to exchange his own life for Claire’s safe return.

If it meant saving Claire, even sacrificing his own life would be a price worth paying.

Sleep cluded the Carter family that night….

As dawn broke the next day, Denton boarded a helicopter, setting course for Sword Mountain in Cloudar the location of Star Gate.
