Inside the room, everyone stared with wide eyes, nervously and excitedly fixated on the box.

As if afraid that their gaze would divert for a moment, and the cooked duck would fly away.

At this moment, the old man suddenly said fiercely, "Are you really willing to hand over the gold so easily? Is there no deception involved?"

This sudden remark caused the previously rising greed in the room to plummet!

Indeed, who would be willing to easily give away a fortune that could never be earned in their eyes?

I didn't expect that when consumed by desire, the old man would raise such a question.

"Before the old lady died, we turned her house upside down. She couldn't move due to her immobility, so there's no way such a big box of gold couldn't be found!"

I misjudged the old man. I didn't expect him to be so cautious.

These deductions, like a knife, stabbed into my heart, causing everyone else to look at me with suspicion.

"Everyone except the old man, second uncle, and aunt, leave!"

I firmly and calmly declared.

Twenty years of honing had made me unusually calm.

"I will only tell the elders about this matter. I will never disclose the truth to anyone else, forgive me for not being honest!"

"Alright, everyone leave and wait. Are we still afraid that he will run away?"

The old man nodded, and the younger generation reluctantly went outside.

When everyone retreated like a tide, I asked them to sit down.

"This gold is indeed not left by Grandma. Before I speak, you must swear in blood that you will never reveal the source of the gold to anyone."

"Otherwise..."

"The entire family will be condemned!"

The old man and the other two looked at each other for a moment, thinking that my request was absurd. But swearing an oath, could it really come true?

I successfully aroused their curiosity.

"Fine!" The old man bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the bowl. The second uncle and aunt followed suit.

And they swore that if today's conversation was leaked, the entire family would be wiped out, leaving no one alive.

Only then did I slowly say, "I dug up this gold from an unowned tomb in the mountains!"

As soon as the words fell, their faces immediately changed.

Then I continued, "I have investigated that tomb for a long time and concluded that there must be treasure inside. But unfortunately, after many years of enlightenment, I feel that this money is not clean and spending it would bring bad luck. So if you want it, you can take it yourselves!"

Seeing them looking at me as if I were an idiot, I said firmly again, "I believe this!"

"Hahaha..."

The second uncle burst into laughter first, "Are you an idiot?"

"Don't want money? Are you brain-dead?" Aunt's laughter was uncontrollable.

Only the old man asked me, "What kind of bad luck?"

I said, "Misfortune!"

"Misfortune? I want to see how bad the misfortune can be. With so much money, even if we have bad luck, how far can it go? Bah, stop scaring us!"

The old man cursed and opened the wooden box. The golden light reflected on their faces.

In an instant, they fought over it, afraid of missing out on anything, to the point where they almost tore the box apart.

People die for wealth, and birds perish for food. As the old saying goes, dying for wealth, I don't believe there is anyone who wouldn't be moved in the face of fortune.

I coldly watched all of this, as the flames of revenge burned even more fiercely in my heart. Take it and spend it, the more money is spent, the faster the death.

I want to see, how exactly will you die in a miserable way!

"Wait!"

When they finished dividing the treasure and were about to leave, I suddenly stopped them.

"Remember what I just said, the source of the treasure must not be revealed. Otherwise, your oath will come true!"

After speaking, I took out a talisman, dipped one end in the blood, and chanted some words. Instantly, the remaining half of the talisman stood up out of thin air and I held it with two fingers, sticking it on the rim of the bowl.

"The oath has taken effect. If anyone doesn't believe me, feel free to try it. But when something happens, don't blame me for not warning you!"

"What just happened? The talisman stood up? Was it my eyes playing tricks on me..."

I stunned them with this move, and an expression of deep shock and awe appeared in their eyes.
