Mr. Cai, despite his myriad of tricks, was at a loss for words and simply sat down heavily.
It was rumored that when the Lin Family's ancestors first arrived in Borneo, they went so far as to excavate the graves of the indigenous people to steal the gold and other treasures buried within, as a result, they inadvertently fell victim to a curse from the royal family of the Sanfoqi Kingdom. Not only did the grave robber die violently, but his descendants also often contracted a fatal disease in their youth, rarely living past the age of thirty-five.
Lin Ajin was considered lucky; the curse of the Sanfoqi did not manifest until the day he got married at twenty-one. Both he and his wife contracted incurable tuberculosis, and had it not been for an expensive new drug that Mr. Cai had purchased from Europa, this Treasure Ship King would have been long dead.
Mr. Cai was annoyed with himself, for his deliberate probing had still led to the very scenario he least wanted to see unfold.
