Chapter 746 Ninth-refined Ring (Part Two)
The person quickly came to the safe box beside the desk and listened carefully to the surroundings again. Then she rotated the buttons on it to match a set of numbers, and finally took out a universal key and stuffed it into the lock hole.
With a faint click, the safe box was opened successfully. A glimmer of light flashed through her eyes. There was a box and some precious jewelry inside. The maid opened the box directly, and there was a jade ring lying quietly in it.
Different from other jade products, this ring was blood red all over. It was said that when one looked at it under the light, he could see nine dragons rotating inside, so the grandmaster of Golden Eagle named it Ninth-refined Ring.
This was the most important collection in Howard's life, and also the reason why he had a feud with Golden Eagle for decades. It was said that this Ninth-refined Ring was once bought from the ancestor of Golden Eagle with astronomical figures and passed down to the grandfather of Golden Eagle.
But later, when the family of Golden Eagle's grandfather declined, Golden Eagle's grandfather had no choice but to sell the ring. When he was old, his biggest regret was to sell his father's favorite Ninth- refined Ring. So he told Golden Eagle's father to buy it back no matter how.
The Golden Eagle's father had never found out the whereabouts of Ninth-refined Ring in his whole life. Before he died, he also told the Golden Lion about this matter, so Golden Eagle had been looking for the whereabouts of Ninth-refined Ring.
Later, he heard that a businessman bought Ninth-refined Ring at a high price. After several rounds of investigation, he knew that the person who finally bought Ninth-refined Ring was Howard Wei.
At that time, Golden Eagle had negotiated with Howard several times and wanted to buy it at the same price, but were all refused by Howard. There was even a time when Golden Eagle asked several
powerful people in the circle of the business and the circle of politics to persuade Howard to sell Ninth- refined Ring to him.
Howard still remained unmoved. Since then, Howard's Will Group and Golden Eagle Group began to have a formal confrontation. But it was strange that at that time, Will Group and Golden Eagle were not as big as they were now. For so many years, the two companies had been well matched, and this kind of open and secret struggle not only did not hurt their vital energy, but also began to allow them to grow healthily.
If it weren't for this incident, Will Group and Golden Eagle Group would continue to fight with each other. But now it seemed that Will Group was obviously not a match for Golden Eagle Group. In the eyes of outsiders, Will was defeated miserably.
Howard's wife, the grandmother of Greg, liked ancient accessories, especially the ring. But they were very poor when they were young and couldn't afford this kind of things.
Once, in order to please his girlfriend, Howard deliberately found some ancient collections of paintings for her to see. At that time, Greg's grandmother pointed at the Ninth-Refined Ring and expressed her likeness.
"This Ninth-Refined Ring is so beautiful!" She said so at that time.
"I will give it to you one day!" Howard looked at her affectionately and swore.
"Well, let's talk about us when you bring this Ninth-Refined Ring to me!" The girl replied. Although she said so, her face was full of happiness.
At that time, she just thought it was a joke and didn't take it seriously. It was said that such a precious thing had been exiled abroad many years ago. Even if it was not, it was not something they could afford.
Some day later, Howard really appeared in front of her with a Ninth-Refined Ring in his hand. To her surprise, Howard told her the truth. It turned out that the one was not the real one, but a fake bought by Howard in order to please her. Even so, she was still very happy.
"Trust me, I will give this real Ninth-Refined Ring to you one day!" Since then, they didn't continue this topic, but Howard kept it in mind.
Not long after they got married, Howard was chased by his enemies, and he was separated from Greg's grandmother from then on. Until Howard became rich, he still remembered his promise to his wife.
Therefore, when Golden Eagle found him later, no matter how much money the other party paid, it was impossible to move Howard, because this was a promise he owed her. Although she was no longer in this world, he had finally fulfilled his promise.
Howard had been in a severe coma since he was hospitalized because of an emergency. He hadn't woken up yet. Besides him, only Greg knew where the Ninth-Refined Ring was. But he had ignored this when a series of things was happening at that time.
Another important reason was that Greg was too confident in the security system of the Castle of Jordon. No one could enter the castle without being noticed unless someone launched an attack to it.
So it was much safer to put it here than to put it somewhere else. If he lost the ring, his grandfather would definitely not be able to bear the blow, so he did not take it away, which gave the person a chance. When Greg found this later, he regretted, but that was a later story.
At this time, when the woman in the maid's clothes had got what she wanted, she was about to close the door of the safe. But when she saw a pair of jewelry and diamonds inside, she quickly took all the valuable things. Then she gently closed the door of the safe and quietly left as she came.
In a forest not far away from the Castle of Jordon, a black car quietly stopped there. Alice and Jackie were sitting inside.
"Jackie, do you think Rose will succeed? It's the heavily-guarded Castle of Jordon. Do you still remember that when I sent you the information I got from Greg, it was blocked by the firewall inside? I'm afraid that if it doesn't work this time, it will be more difficult to do it in the future!" Alice looked out of the window worriedly.
"Don't worry. Rose worked as a maid in the Castle of Jordon more than a year ago for this treasure. She is the most famous international robber and will be fine. Trust me, okay?" Jackie said with certainty.
"But I'm still a little worried!" Alice said worriedly. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Don't worry, honey. As long as I get this Ninth-refined Ring, my father will definitely let me be the group's heir. Then we will get married!" Jackie promised seriously. He pulled Alice over and kissed her on the lips.
