Chapter 872 The Mysterious map
Queeny paused, frowned and saw Felix wave to Ford, who was standing nearby.
Ford immediately sent something up.
Felix took it and handed it to Queeny. "Look at this."
Queeny took it and saw that it was a map.
"It was a tattoo on his back," Felix said. "At first none of us could see anything weird, but it was Ford
who realized there was something wrong with the tattoo and did some careful analysis to come up with
a map and had it drawn."
Queeny frowns and looks at the squiggly lines. "What is this map of?" she asked.
Felix shook his head. "We had no idea."
"You don't know? What kind of good news is that?"
She was a little resentful.
Felix chuckled. "If that's all it is, that's not good news. But by accident, when Ford handed me the map,
I found it looked familiar, so I took the piece of the Celestial Book we had bid for and compared them.
Guess what?"
Queeny looked at him blankly.
Felix took the piece of the Celestial Book from the side and handed it to her.
"Compare them for yourself."
Queeny took it, put it on a piece of paper, and compared them.
It took her a long time to realize that the map on the paper was the same as the one on the Celestial
Book.
What was going on here?
"I suspect that the pattern on the Celestial Book is not a character at all, but part of a larger map," Felix
explained quietly.
"Didn't we find that there were 12 pieces of the Celestial Book? Maybe each piece has a different
pattern on it, representing a part of the map. All we have to do is find these 12 pieces of them, and we
can put together a whole map, and finally find what we really want."
Queeny frowned. It seemed vaguely to her that the matter was getting more and more complicated.
She looked at Felix and asked, "But why is it tattooed on his back? Aren't they afraid of being
discovered?"
Felix shook his head.
"I don't know for sure, but it does suggest that he was lying to us, at least partially."
Queeny frowned.
At this point, she thought of it, too.
If what he said was true, he was simply unhappy with what Felix had given them and could not leave
without risking Felix's revenge.
So when the other party came to him for help and promised him a lot of money, he agreed to do that.
So, what about the tattoo on his back?
There was no way he didn't know what that tattoo was, or why would he agree to have it tattooed on
his body?
But if he did, it means he was on to something. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Or maybe he was lying. He agreed to do this with a certain purpose.
They just happened to find him. Or was it all just a ploy to hide himself?
Was he actually the one they had been secretly sending to lurk next to Felix?
Queeny didn't know and couldn't be sure. She only felt that things were very complicated now.
Although most people were well aware of the story of the Celestial Book, in fact, only a handful of
people had actually seen or read the patterns on it.
She did not know how the man had seen the design and tattooed it on his back.
She did not know for what purpose he had been lurking beside Felix.
If he wasn't really obeying those people at all, but had his own agenda, as she suspected.
So what would killing Felix do for him? What did he really want?
Queeny didn't know the answer.
And at this point, there was certainly no one to give her an answer.
Queeny had a strange feeling at the thought of it.
She felt as if her and Felix's every move had been accurately predicted from beginning to end.
No matter what they did, the enemy seemed to have no trouble getting what they wanted out of them
and messing them up.
Who the hell was this guy?
What the hell was he planning all this for?
Felix clearly shared her confusion.
There was a pause. "I'll send someone out to go through all his contacts over the years, and who else
is in his family. You don't have to worry too much. I don't believe there's gonna be nothing."
Queeny nodded and looked at him, unable to hold back her words.
"Be careful."
"Yeah, I know."
After she had left, Felix then gave Ford some more instructions to look into.
Queeny went out to find Ella and took her back to her room.
Ella looked at her and smiled. "Miss Horton, what were you and Mr. Bissel just talking about?"
Queeny turned to look at her and chuckled. "Why do you ask?"
"Nothing. I'm just curious."
She blinked her eyes and she was obviously gossiping.
Queeny was strangely embarrassed by her observation. She had done nothing, but the look in her
eyes made it looked as if she had done something.
She could not restrain herself from raising her hand and tapping her lightly on the head, reprimanding,
"Don't think so much!"
After a pause, she suddenly looked at her and smiled, "I saw you with Dean today. Have you known
each other long?"
Queeny's inquisitive question made Ella's face turn red.
She faltered and said, "We, we didn't know each other for long."
Queeny tutted and shook her head. "Why doesn't it look like it to me? Judging by how well you know
each other, it doesn't look like you just met."
Ella blushed even more.
She seemed worried, but did not know how to explain it.
It was a moment before she had to say, "Miss Horton, you must stop teasing me. Dean and I are just
from the same place. That's why we talk a little bit more. There's really nothing going on between us."
There was a gleam of disappointment in her eyes as she said this.
Queeny was a very smart person. Though she had tried very hard to conceal her thoughts, she could
see them at once.
She put away her smile, looked at her and asked seriously, "You're not together yet? Or do you like him
and he just doesn't know it yet?"
At this point, Ella's face was so red that she seemed to be bleeding.
