Chapter <b>407 </b>


    In front of Myra was a map, which marked a specific set of coordinates based on the


    constetions seen on an ind. The alignment with the stars gave it an air of mystery.


    “W–What is this?” Myra stuttered.


    “A treasure map!” Dexter lowered his voice<b>, </b>his tone filled with concealed excitement.


    The legend of this treasure map had been circting for many years. It was said that the ind marked on the map held a treasure that could overturn the world! It held immense wealth and power. Whoever found it could have the treasure for themselves.


    Over the years, countless people <b>had </b>set sail in search of the treasure, but all returned empty-


    handed.


    But now, the map was within reach, and the coordinates marked on it pointed to the ind that held the treasure! Who wouldn’t be tempted?


    This was also why Dexter had taken the risk of offending Stephan and hidden the map <b>to </b>im it for himself! The temptation was just too great!


    Myra was skeptical. “Did you send someone to check the coordinates? Is there really such an ind? Is there really a treasure?”


    Dexter sighed and admitted, “I sent people to investigate a few months ago. I sent four men, but none of them ever came back.” novelbin


    “How could that happen?” Myra was shocked.


    “There are two possibilities. They either reached the coordinates, found something valuable, and took off with it or they didn’t even make it to the ind before something happened.” Dexter didn’t gloss it over.


    “After that, I was afraid of attracting attention, so I didn’t <b>send </b>anyone else. I don’t know what’s on that ind. But I’m certain of one thing. If even Stephan is searching for this, it has to be something extraordinary!”


    Dexter’s tone was resolute, and Myra couldn’t help but agree.


    If Stephan had spent so much effort and resources to obtain this map, it should hold tremendous value! But no matter how valuable it was, it wasn’t something they could afford


    to covet.


    Myra wanted to get rid of this map as soon as possible. “We’ll hand this map over first thing in the morning to avoid bringing trouble on ourselves!”


    “Alright.” Dexter nodded. He was about tofort his wife when the bedroom door was pushed open. The couple was startled!


    Chapt


    Dexter quickly shoved the map under the nket, then grabbed a nearbymp to use as a


    <b>wean </b>


    weapon.


    The intruder was none other than Ka.


    Dexter let out a sigh of relief. He put themp back down and wiped the sweat off his brow.” Couldn’t you knock beforeing in? Why aren’t you asleep yet?”


    Myra also rxed.


    Ka stepped forward. “Dad, Mom, you mustn’t hand over the map!”


    The couple exchanged a look and grew alert. Had she overheard them?


    Ka had followed them and eavesdropped at the door. She had heard every word that Myra and Dexter said!


    She couldn’t describe the shock and excitement she felt! This map was heaven–sent!


    “Mom, Dad, since this map is so important, it’s the perfect bargaining chip for us! We can aplish so much more with it. We absolutely can’t hand it over!” Ka was insistent. “And what do you want to do?” Myra asked.
