His Lordship Alexander Kane
The chest held no glittering jewels or stacks of cash, just a collection of aged, yellowing books.
No jade amulet in sight.
Alexander rifled through the chest three times, but aside from the books, there was nothing else, just books.
He mulled over the possibility that Rex, the crafty old devil, never had the amulet and had been playing Hawthorne Seafort for a fool, hoping to reap benefits without paying his dues. If Alexander were out of the picture, Chaos Snake Master would possess four jade amulets and could then keep his promise.
It was a masterful play, yet it had failed to come to fruition.
