Chapter 121: Chapter 120: Some People Really Guessed It Right!

Upon receiving the black jade pendant, Sean Knight’s heart didn’t settle as one might expect, but instead, it soared even higher!

Would there be a method to cultivate the Sky Eye in this black pendant?

He carefully pulled out the white jade pendant hanging around his neck, matched the two pieces together, and with a snap, the two pendants magically joined together!

Feeling them, he didn’t sense any particular reaction.

Sean removed the black pendant, pricked his hand with a small knife, and allowed a drop of blood to fall on it, feeling slightly dizzy afterward.

Holding the black pendant again, he felt an influx of information in his mind.

It really worked!

The black pendant first transmitted a cultivation method to Sean. It indeed was a method for cultivating the Sky Eye. Not only did it include the cultivation process, but it also introduced the use of premium jade, jadeite, and others for enhancing the Sky Eye’s level.

Sean understood in his heart that the cultivation method primarily entailed still and moving exercises, akin to meditation and practices like the Eight Section Brocade and Five Animal Frolics respectively. Not only would these exercises augment the aptitude of the Sky Eye, but they would also improve overall physical fitness.

Once again, he merged the black and white pendants to form a complete Tai Chi diagram, and Sean unexpectedly discovered another spatial realm in his mind!

So magical!

Then the next second, Sean had a piece of paper in his hand—

The space inside the jade pendant was of a room’s size. However, there were only a few scattered items inside for now.

What attracted Sean’s attention the most was the paper.

He took out the paper and saw a paragraph written in unattractive handwriting:

"The one who can take out and read this paper must be Sean. Sean, I am truly relieved that you got the jade pendant, and it is finally in the hands of a Knight Family member.

After I received the jade pendant from your grandfather and discovered its use, I felt that the pendant shouldn’t be separated.

During my time in the Beautiful Country, I used this jade pendant to accumulate a substantial fortune. The properties I acquired, and the assets I gained upon selling them, have become our family basis. Whether you choose to sell those assets or keep them for personal use is entirely up to you.

As for Mr. Elson, he doesn’t have close ties with China. You can associate with him if you feel you can, or regard him as a stranger otherwise.

With this jade pendant, making money should be much easier for you, so I have a piece of advice for you. If you find something valuable, don’t keep it. It’s best to turn it into money or immovable assets.

Be filial to your grandfather and your father. I had no chance, and I became an unfilial son. You shouldn’t follow my path. Languard is a nice place, but it isn’t suitable for a long stay. Returning to China is the best course.

I won’t be able to return home. Please take my ashes back. After all, I am Chinese. I should return to my roots.

From Jeremy Knight."

These words were simple yet sincere. Sean knew this was his uncle’s true sentiment.

After putting away the post, Sean looked at the other items in the space.

There was a small box full of US Dollars, about seventy or eighty thousand dollars.

Sean speculated this must be the day-to-day spending money Uncle Jeremy Phillips kept.

There was another palm-sized small box.

Sean took it out, opened it, and found more than a dozen golden coins—just like the hundred or so Morgan gold coins he had previously sold.

It seemed that there was a considerable number of these coins in the Beautiful Country!

After putting back the boxes, Sean took out the last item, a hooked blade.

It looked very sharp!

Sean reckoned this might be a weapon Uncle Jeremy Phillips used for self-defense?

After trying it in his hand, Sean felt that it wasn’t as comfortable as his bronze pen, and he returned it.

Having solved his concerns, Sean was in high spirits and finally had the chance to look around the villa.

The villa was quite large, with two floors. Initially, it was decorated in a minimalist Chinese style, but it seemed Elson Johnson didn’t quite like it and was reorganizing it.

The contents of several rooms had been moved and were stored in a storeroom on the first floor.

It was apparent that there were plans to refurbish.

Sean shook his head and decided to go with the original style.

He had this intuition that he wouldn’t stay in this villa for long.

He made a phone call and called over Kathy Lewis, the original estate manager. Sean knew that Kathy had been the estate manager since Jeremy lived here.

Kathy was around fifty years old, of average appearance, but she had a graceful and dignified demeanor.

Seeing Sean, Kathy was taken aback, then apologized:

"I’m sorry, Mr. Knight. You and your uncle look quite alike, so..."

"No need to apologize," Sean said sincerely. "I understand how you’re feeling. By the way, you used to manage this villa, right?"

"Yes. Mr. Jeremy bought this villa and recruited me as the estate manager. Since then, I have been living here in the villa for over two decades, till Mr. Jeremy passed away and Mr. Elson felt I was no longer suitable for this place and fired me."

Kathy spoke fluent Mandarin, which made Sean feel at ease.

"Did you find a new job?"

"Not yet."

"Can I invite you back to work?" asked Sean.

"Really?" Kathy’s face lit up with surprise.

She had considered this place as her home after working here for over twenty years. When she was driven away by Mr. Elson, she was truly heartbroken and hadn’t recovered even now.

"Of course, it’s true," Sean said with a smile. "My uncle once mentioned, Ms. Kathy, you are part of this home and shouldn’t have to leave..."

"Did he really say that?" Kathy’s face was radiant with joy. "I... I didn’t expect..."

Saying that, she covered her face and began to cry.

Not only did Kathy stay, but she also promised to recruit others responsible for maintaining the household cleanliness for Sean.

At least one maid, one gardener, and one cook needed to be hired. Of course, the maid could also double up for other tasks.

However, Kathy recommended not to combine roles, suggesting that she could halve her salary, but it would be best not to reduce the number of hired staff.

Sean wasn’t short of money to pay for their salaries. Although he had checked before, and Kathy’s weekly salary was two thousand dollars—which was considered a high salary.

After settling the villa, Sean took the car to the farmland.

On the way to the farmland, Sean felt more and more familiar, then he was astounded to find that this was the road to Brad’s manor, wasn’t it?

Could it be... could it be such a coincidence?

However, to Sean’s disbelief, it was indeed a coincidence!

Sean got out of his car and knocked at the entrance.

The guard at the entrance came to chase him away, but Sean showed his paperwork. The guard doubted, picked a walkie-talkie and called someone.

In a short while, someone arrived at the entrance of the farm driving an electric sightseeing car.

There was nearly a kilometer’s distance from here to the main construction villa inside the farm, and the sightseeing car was handy.

"Are you Mr. Sean Knight? I’m Wyon, the manager of the Great River Farm."

The person let the guard open the gate and invited Sean in.

Sean looked at the middle-aged man who was less than 1.7 meters tall but full of vigor and found it amusing.
