The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: From Today Onwards, the Cultivation World Will Have No Howell Family!_1

”The quality of this jade is very good, and so is the carving. This could not have been done by just anyone.”

”The character is in ancient seal script, it’s a ’Qi,’ and this character is slightly different from the ancient seal ’Qi’ we are familiar with; this stroke is slanted, not horizontal. Only in the city of Western Wei in A.D. 708 was this type of writing used. After Western Wei, this horizontal stroke was always written horizontally.”

”Considering all these factors, this piece of jade is likely an antique, probably carved during the Western Wei era. The inscription was naturally written in this manner, and it could also have been done by a remnant of Western Wei who completed it in the years following the dynasty’s end, using the Western Wei style of script for the carving.”

”The jade has excellent quality and the carved character is quite rare. If one were to investigate along these lines, it might be possible to find out some origins of this jade, since such pieces are quite scarce.”

After leaving the text expert’s home, Carson Flores and Shirley Miller returned to the car, where Shirley Miller asked, ”What now? Even though the expert said this jade is unique, no one can guarantee that there’s a historical record of it, let alone finding a record from hundreds or even thousands of years ago. It’s going to be very hard to trace the past twenty some years.”

Carson Flores nodded in agreement, ”Indeed, I’ll get someone to help look into it first.”

Shirley Miller suggested, ”Why not put it online and stir up some interest under some pretext? Maybe someone related will recognize it.”

Carson Flores shook his head with a smile, ”It’s not appropriate. The quality and value of this jade indicate that my parents are definitely not ordinary people. The fact that my parents abandoned me when I was a child might involve some secrets. If it’s put online and the wrong people see it, what may come my way may not necessarily be my parents, but rather huge trouble.”

”Besides, in the matter of searching for my identity, I prefer to take the initiative rather than be passive, so I’m not going to make a big fuss about this.”

Shirley Miller understood the implication in Carson Flores’s words, ”You want to quietly find the truth and then decide whether to approach or even acknowledge your parents, instead of being discovered passively and trapped in a situation without choice, right?”

”Right, that’s exactly what I mean.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Although my master Andrew has tormented me since I was a child, he nevertheless taught me some valuable skills. I can live well on my own now. In investigating my past, I am more interested in understanding the truth than in changing my current situation.”

Shirley Miller nodded, then with a look of expectation, said, ”If you do find something, can you tell me about it?”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”Are you really interested in this matter?”

Shirley Miller pursed her lips, ”You know my situation. You were an orphan since you were young, but your parents might still be alive. I hope you can have a good outcome in the end. I’d be happy for you if you could reunite with your parents.”

Carson Flores readily agreed, ”Okay, I promise to share any news with you.”

Back at home, Carson Flores took photos of the jade and sent them to Batman.

Carson Flores: ”Batman, help me check out this Jade Pendant.”

Batman: ”This Jade Pendant is quite unique, is the pattern a character?”

Carson Flores: ”’Qi,’ ancient seal, Western Wei era’s style of writing, different from other dynasties.”

Batman: ”Okay, I will notify you if there’s any news.”

Carson Flores: ”Great!”

Batman is a computer genius and super hacker. If information can be scoured from the web, it is hardly out of his reach. Plus, with the access rights that come with his position, he can see a lot of secret information that ordinary people can’t access.”

Carson Flores had also planned to ask his master Andrew, but after the last time his master took off, he had turned off his phone, and Carson Flores had no idea where he had gone off to again.

Carson Flores had no other means of investigation, so all that was left was to wait.

After dinner, as Carson Flores was playing games, his phone suddenly rang.

Raelynn Howell.

Carson Flores answered the call and said with a laugh, ”Raelynn...”

Raelynn Howell’s voice, tearful, came through the phone, ”Carson, my great-aunt is dying, can you save her?”

Carson Flores was startled. Lydia Howell?

Wasn’t Lydia Howell the most capable martial artist in the Howell Family, the prodigy in cultivation? How could she suddenly be dying?

Carson Flores stood up suddenly, ”What happened? Don’t cry, just tell me clearly.”

Raelynn Howell quickly said, ”The Browning Family Head Browning came to our house, saying he wanted to resolve the issue of me hitting his son. But he brought a master named Jamie Webb, claiming to be from the Webb Family of the Qinling area. My great-aunt fought with Jamie Webb and got severely injured, she’s about to die, and now my great-great-grandfather has also taken action, but he can’t beat him either...”

Raelynn Howell hadn’t finished her words when suddenly a booming, arrogant voice emerged from the other side, ”Julia Howell, after today, there will be no more Howell Family in the world of cultivation!”

Carson Flores’s expression changed, the Browning Family wasn’t just there to resolve the issue of the injury to their son, it was clearly a sneak attack with the intent to wipe out the Howell Family!

”Raelynn, send me your location, I’ll be right there!”

Carson Flores grabbed his car keys and ran out the door, shouting, ”I’ll be there in twenty minutes, tell them, if they dare to kill anyone, I’ll annihilate the entire Browning Family.”
