Chapter 785 The Celestial Book
It was as if a rock had been thrown into a peaceful lake.
Felix’s heart trembled violently. He was suddenly panic-stricken, and he didn’t know why.
His face was still somber, but the light in his eyes dimmed a little.
“Queeny, as I said, come here and we’ll talk this out.”
“There is nothing to talk about.”
Queeny’s voice was indifferent. The fatigue in her tone was distinct. “Felix, you lost at the golf course
today. Didn’t we agree that whoever loses would grant the winner a wish?”
Felix did not respond.
Queeny went on, “Here's what I want. Let’s call it off. There's no need for us to see each other again. If
we meet again, only one of us can live. As I’ve told you, I will avenge my dead fellows’ death in the
Rosefinch Club.”
With that said, she whipped around and headed out.
Felix bawled from behind, “Stop her!”
Just as these words were out, several bulky men leaped out from the darkness and stood in Queeny’s
way.
Queeny’s face turned completely frosty.
Looking back at Felix, she said scathingly, “Really?”
Felix was well aware that Queeny was no longer the same woman four years ago. Four years’ life
behind bars had honed her. Today, her strategies and fighting skills had both become superb. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
However, this was no reason that he would let her leave.
She might be able to take him down. But there were so many of his bodyguards here. Could she beat
them all?
Even if she knocked out all the bodyguards here, there were dozens more of them in the castle. How
could she possibly beat them up and leave?
Therefore, Felix was not worried about that.
Still, he could not truly feel relieved. Inexplicably, he knew that if she left today, he would lose her
forever.
Felix marched over, seized her by the wrist, and said in a deep voice, “Come with me.”
Right after that, he drew her to go upstairs.
Surprisingly, Queeny didn’t resist.
For one thing, she knew she was in a pickle. If Felix was determined to make her stay by force, she
wouldn’t have a chance to run away.
For another, deep down, she was also wondering what on earth he wanted to discuss with her.
Was there anything to be discussed?
The two came up to the study. Queeny’s wrist was aching due to Felix’s tight grip, yet she didn’t
protest. She let Felix grab her. The latter didn’t let go until they entered the study.
With a dark face, Felix walked straight to the back of the desk.
Noticing that Queeny was standing by the door, he glanced up at her. Though his face was still gloomy,
that forbidding look on his face was gone.
“Come here,” he ordered.
Without saying a word, Queeny came over and watched Felix fetch out a file from under the desk.
“Read this before you decide to leave.”
Then, he threw the file to her.
Baffled, Queeny caught the file and flipped through it.
Her face paled drastically when she reached the last few pages.
Then, she snapped the file shut and gawked at Felix in disbelief, asking, “How can this be?”
Felix had regained his composure by this time.
He thought to himself, “I should let her know the cruel reality she’s supposed to know.”
Years ago, Felix still wanted to protect her from this brutal truth. Even though he hated her for her
betrayal, a small voice in the back of his head murmured to him that perhaps she really wasn’t the one
who did those things.
Not only the Rosefinch Club but the Dragon Club had classified information been leaked.
Queeny, who was sandwiched between the two clubs, clearly had nothing to gain from the desperate
struggle of the two clubs.
However, all the evidence proved that she was the mole at that time. Felix had to punish her in some
way, or he wouldn’t be able to face his subordinates.
At this thought, he exhaled heavily and said, “Read the whole file, especially the last page.”
Queeny obeyed.
The more she read, the more terrified she felt.
The file she was holding was a list of the members active in both the Rosefinch Club and the Dragon
Club. In the beginning, the two clubs were not on opposite sides.
Instead, the two forces actually appreciated each other and often helped each other out.
Had it not been like this, Queeny, who left the Dragon Club in a huff, wouldn’t be admitted by the
Rosefinch Club right away.
At that time, the two forces interacted frequently, and the members of the two forces never shunned
each other.
But it was also because of this that both the clubs were not on guard against each other.
This file stated in detail the information of those who survived that fierce battle and where they went
afterward.
Upon close examination, one would find that quite a lot of those people left this place, changed their
names and identities, and joined an organization called the Zircon Association.
On paper, those people, including the ones Queeny saw as her dear fellows, died in that battle.
However, they were actually still alive, only that they were living with a different name and identity.
They never died. What really perished was their friendship with Queeny.
Queeny couldn’t believe this. She felt as if an ax had hit her in the head, causing her brain to buzz and
her head to go blank.
She wobbled a little and stumbled backward, her face completely pallid.
She then grabbed the table to support herself and whispered, “No way. How could this be true? They,
they…”
Looking at her steadily, Felix said, “Do you still remember why the two clubs turned against each
other?”
Queeny was silent for moments, then said in a light voice, “The Celestial Book.”
“Yes. It was because of the Celestial Book.”
The Celestial Book was a two-thousand-year-old document written on jade that was discovered out of
the blue five years ago. It was said that this book stated the kind of jade this book was written on could
bring the dead back to life and turn the mortal into the immortal.
To be honest, Queeny found it rather laughable when she first heard this myth.
But later, something changed her mind.
Once, she saw a person who had been shot in the head be revived by the Celestial Book. With the help
of the little jade piece, the injury healed at speed visible to the naked eye.
She would never forget how astounded she was at that time.
If she didn’t witness with her own eyes, she would not believe such a miraculous thing could happen in
reality.
A small piece of jade could heal wounds and revive people on their deathbed?
How preposterous it was!
Yet, regardless of whether she believed in it or not, many people had witnessed this miracle.
Everyone’s eyes turned green. They all wanted to have it after they realized how valuable the treasure
was.
However, the only piece of the Celestial Book had been used.
