Chapter 88 But this is just a chamber pot.

How could Scott not know whether the Radiant Empress Pearl had a problem?

Facing Alice’s persuasion, Scott simply smiled and said, “Alice, you don’t need to worry about this. I’ve bought it.”

After handing over the thirty million dollars in cash, Powell looked at the stacks of money in his room. Opening the cases one by one, he appeared to be in a state of mania.

The visual impact of thirty million dollars in cash was far more striking than the same amount in a bank transfer.

Stacks upon stacks of bills were hard for anyone to stay calm about.

It should be noted that a million dollars in $100 bills weighed about 22 pounds, and ten million dollars would be 220 pounds!

Thirty million dollars was a whopping 660 pounds!

The banknotes piled up, filling the entire office.

Scott didn’t say much more to Alice. After getting the Radiant Empress Pearl, he immediately left with his people.

Only Powell remained in the office, incessantly counting the money, as if he were under a spell.

Seeing Powell in this state, Alice didn’t bother saying anything. After Scott left, she turned around and left too.

The duty of a doctor is to save people, but Powell had already given her the cold shoulder. She was filled with resentment and felt that some people simply weren’t worth saving.

Returning to the Cozy Book Haven, the only person in the store was Walker. As Alice entered, she asked, “Have you met William?”

Walker nodded. “He’s your cousin, right? He seems like a decent guy.”

Decent?

Alice wasn’t sure how to evaluate William.

To say he was bad, he had already been pretty good to Alice. He had given her medical books by Celsus and his own medical secrets, both of which were worth a fortune. He gave them to her without a word.

But to say he was good, sometimes just talking to him could be infuriating!

“You can work here from now on,” Alice said briefly, then went back to copying Celsus’s medical book. She still had to do it over a hundred more times. If she didn’t finish today, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to William.

“What are you writing?” Walker asked, trying to see what Alice was working on.

“Don’t look!” Alice said hurriedly. She didn’t know if Walker understood medicine, but the book from Celsus was a gift from William. Without his permission, she needed to keep it confidential.

“Okay, okay! I won’t look!” Walker quickly stepped back, not wanting to upset Alice.

After a moment, Alice gathered the papers she had written and took them upstairs, where there were already a table and chairs. She continued writing there.

“Just stay here, and let me know when William comes back,” she instructed Walker.

Having accepted the concept of curses in this world, and knowing that Scott had bought the Radiant Empress Pearl, she felt it necessary to tell William.

Walker agreed and stood guard downstairs. If William hadn’t said he was Alice’s cousin, Walker would definitely be seething with jealousy now.

It wasn’t until around seven in the evening that William and Evelyn leisurely returned to the bookstore.

“William, Alice wants you upstairs,” Walker said, his tone authoritative, as if he were already Alice’s husband.

William responded with a nod and headed upstairs.

Alice had just finished copying the book a thousand times and was napping at the table. She woke up suddenly at Walker’s voice.

Walker sure was bold, talking to William like that.

Though she had never seen William raise a hand to anyone, the memory of Dylan kneeling before William, unable to stand, made her realize that her teacher was no ordinary person.

“You’re back,” Alice stood up and said, “The Radiant Empress Pearl was bought by someone from the Taylor family. I saw the owner of ‘Eternal Life Emporium.’ His condition doesn’t look good; he’s not going to die, is he?”

William raised an eyebrow, “The Taylor family? James Taylor’s family?”

“Scott Taylor, do you know him?”

“No idea!” William said, “If he bought it, he bought it. No need to worry about him.”

“Oh! What about the owner of ‘Eternal Life Emporium’? Shouldn’t we do something?” Alice still wanted to help Powell.

“Are you close to him?” William asked expressionlessly, “If you want to help, help. Just don’t forget about Nathaniel’s situation. Other matters, I won’t bother with.”

“Fine,” Alice pouted, “I’ll handle it myself. By the way, that guy downstairs named Walker, his master was friends with my grandfather. He just came down from the mountain, so don’t be mad at him.”

“Why would I be mad at him?” William glanced at the medical books on the desk that had already been copied, asking nonchalantly, “Did you memorize the two medical books by Celsus?”

“Yes, I did!”

“Tomorrow, I’ll teach you the secrets of mystical power.” William seemed quick to teach. The “secrets of mystical power” he mentioned were just simple methods for ordinary people to access the power of divine souls. He picked up a pen and started writing some basic concepts.

As William was writing about the basics of mystical power upstairs, Edward had already arrived.

“Alice! Edward is here, come down!” Walker was eager to show off in front of Alice.

Alice looked at William, and he raised an eyebrow, “Go ahead, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Edward and Kelly had come tonight to inquire about the items on Mount San Juan Teotihuaca.

The objects stored in the cave were items William had used in the past, and he knew their origins better than anyone.

However, he didn’t feel like explaining it to anyone.

After Alice went downstairs, Edward looked at the second-floor staircase, wanting to ask William, but he didn’t come down.

“Whatever you don’t understand, I’ll take a look!” Walker said casually. Tonight, he wanted to impress Alice and show Edward and the others what a true master looked like.

The items on Mount San Juan Teotihuaca were all rare artifacts. Edward wouldn’t take them out, so he only had some photographs.

Walker, well-versed in antiques, knew a lot about ancient artifacts. But when Edward showed him the photos, he was dumbfounded.

These inscriptions were unheard of, unseen.

He even understood ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs!

But he didn’t recognize the writing on these items from Mount San Juan Teotihuaca.

“What do you think? Can you read it?” Edward, a master in ancient writing studies, could hardly recognize these characters, which he suspected were older than ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

That’s why he had come to William.

“Which period is this script from?” Walker was utterly confused. You couldn’t just make up this kind of writing.

“It’s probably from before the ancient Egyptian period.”

“This object seems to be for collecting water,” Walker ventured, trying to salvage the situation.

“I think it looks like that too,” Edward agreed.

What they didn’t know was that the object was actually a chamber pot that William had used many years ago. Although it was finely crafted and made from unique materials, it was just a chamber pot.
