Chapter 106 The Truth Is Revealed

Although Carliss only murmured, Emma still heard it and looked at Carliss. Carliss immediately fell silent, smiled awkwardly, and signaled Emma to continue to interrogate Merope.

Merope was much more honest at this time, and there was a little more fear in his eyes when he looked at Emma.

"Tell me! What did you say to the guys in the Temple of Nature!? If you dare to hide it, I will crush your bones, and then let Carliss repair it for you..." Emma was no longer arrogant at this time, and asked harshly. She finally understood that it was useless to deal with such people in a nice way. Sometimes you should use some special means like Vijay.

"I said, I said... they, they asked me about an item in the last auction, which was a white jade bottle!"

"What did you say?"

Merope's eyes were a little evasive, as if he wanted to hide something, but seeing Emma's cold eyes, Merope finally explained: "That item was originally the item in the last auction, but I swapped it to the previous auction in advance..."

"Why did you swap the item!?" Emma asked.

"Because... because... we saw a valuable antique in the previous auction, and that antique can be sold at a good price. Someone in the black market has already paid a high price to buy it...

"Because... because... we saw a valuable antique in the previous auction, and that antique can be sold at a good price. Someone in the black market has already paid a high price to buy it... So I took advantage of the staff and cooperated with others to swap that item with the white jade bottle in the last auction.

The white jade bottle was not valuable in terms of craftsmanship or ornamental value, and it would not sell for much money even if it was auctioned, so we exchanged the white jade bottle with the antique. After the white jade bottle was sold, we forged the transaction record into the transaction record of the antique.

As for the white jade bottle, because it was not valuable, we originally planned to modify the transaction record after the auction, pay for the gap ourselves, and then forge it into a transaction record of the regular process, so that no one would notice the problem.

We just make a profit from the price difference. The price offered on the black market is enough to make up for the loss of the White Jade Bottle and also allow us to earn some money. Who knew that someone attacked the auction on the night of the auction..."

After listening to Merope's story, the truth was finally revealed, and the last piece of the puzzle of the whole incident was finally complete. Looking at the whole incident, the Temple of Nature learned about the existence of the White Jade Bottle from some unknown channel, and coveted the so-called "holy water" in the White Jade Bottle. Because the Temple of Nature is not a local force, and the current situation is tense, the Temple of Nature can only act low-key and plan to bid for the White Jade Bottle at the auction and bring it back to the temple.

At the same time, the old rival of the Temple of Nature, the Temple of Decay, also sent high-level wizards to ambush in the venue in order to prevent the Temple of Nature from obtaining the White Jade Bottle, ready to act at any time , as long as the White Jade Bottle appears in the Decayed Temple, they will grab it without regard for the consequences.

However, who knew that the staff at the auction was secretly stealing. On the day of the auction, Merope and the team behind him took a fancy to an antique item in the second auction. Merope, as a cleaning staff, replaced the item with a White Jade Bottle of low value in the next auction in advance, and replaced the transaction record of the antique item with the transaction amount of the White Jade Bottle.

The auction started in the evening. The original item, the White Jade Bottle, had been bought by lawyer Philip in the afternoon auction. The Temple of Nature did not wait for the White Jade Bottle until the end of the auction, so it questioned, instantly exposing its identity, and the Decayed Temple took advantage of the situation and caused the attack three months ago.

As If there had been no attack, Merope and his team would have paid out of their own pockets to buy the White Jade Bottle at the lowest price. Of course, this price would definitely be lower than that antique auction item. Although they stole from the company, they did a very good job on the books. In layman's terms, they just made a profit from the price difference, but the profit was also very considerable.

In fact, Merope was not the core figure of the entire team. The core of the entire stolen goods team was a financial staff of the auction house. It was a pity that the core leader was accidentally killed in the attack that night, which buried the truth.

Everything after that made sense. The Temple of Nature was looking for the White Jade Bottle, and at the same time, the Temple of Decay was also looking for it. The two sides were secretly competing, and with the intrusion of the Fuli family, all the truth was finally revealed to the world. A big battle destroyed a small town, and also Basically, the wizards who illegally entered the Temple of Nature and the Temple of Decay were dealt with.

…

In the woods, the Moon Vine Priest also told the sad story of the Temple of Nature. Because they had to act secretly because they entered the country illegally, the priests of the Temple of Nature could only secretly track down the people who participated in the auction that night for three months.

Because there were too many participants, they could only check them one by one in three months. After all, the Temple of Nature did not have the financial resources of the Fuli family to directly buy the entire auction house.

In order to obtain the internal documents of the auction, Yue Teng sent people to sneak into the auction house to read some of the documents. He also knew that three auctions were actually scheduled that day, but the white jade bottle was not seen in the auction items of the first two auctions, and there was no record of the white jade bottle in the transaction records, so the Temple of Nature no longer paid attention to the first two auctions.

In the end, the Temple of Nature still focused its investigation on the participants of the last auction. After repeated inquiries, there was still no news. There were only a few participants who had not been inquired, including the cleaning staff named Merope.

After all, the other party was just a cleaning staff. At first, the people in the Temple of Nature did not pay much attention to her. It was not until they found out that the Foley family was involved that the Temple accelerated the progress and found Merope hiding in Ireland.

After they found Merope, they realized that they had been investigating in the wrong direction from the beginning.

The Temple of Nature learned the final destination of the white jade bottle from Merope, so they went to find Lawyer Philip as soon as possible. Because their whereabouts were exposed, they could no longer act secretly. They simply arrested Lawyer Philip directly, which was discovered by the Foley family.

As for the whereabouts of Lawyer Philip now, according to Yue Teng's description, Lawyer Philip was released by the people of the Temple of Nature before the battle began.

The Temple of Nature is still principled in treating innocent people. They are not psychopathic cultists and will not kill innocent people. They did not use any extreme means to interrogate the participants of the third auction before.
