Chapter 402
“Im not sure.” Locke shook his head.
Then, he added. “But they were probably after the Akister Treasure.”
“Since you knew that the key to the Akister Treasure was in Yann’s hands, it’s possible others knew as well.”
“It’s not impossible that they attracted some people to compete for it.” Locke didn’t delve too much into the matter
Moreover, he felt grateful to those people.
If not for the fact that they were causing a commotion, he would not have been able to complete the deal with Marina so quickly.
“Okay.” Marina nodded without pressing further.
“However, I must say this, now that you two have the item, it’s best for you to leave this place as soon as possible,”
“Yann is capable, and the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it becomes.”
“After all, this isn’t your home ground. It’s better for both of you to leave early,” Locke said.
“I understand, and I’ll arrange for you to leave as soon as possible.” Marina said solemnly.
“Alright,” Locke replied straightforwardly.
He did not delve into the details. any further.
Marina was the one he trusted most when it came to handling things.
Back then, he sought Marina out because he wanted a fresh start in life.
However, at that time, he did not know her true identity.
He only thought she was a powerful figure in the Darknet.
He often sought her services because her forged identities were flawless.
However, there was one time when he had an accident.
He accidentally revealed his identity.
This led to him being chased by his enemies and almost losing his life in another country.
In his desperate situation, he reached out to Marina, one of the few people he could consider a friend.
Hence, he made a desperate attempt to contact her.
He never expected she would actually come to help him.
Just as he was resigned to his fate and waiting for death, Marina came.
Not to mention that she came with much fuss.
The group of people she brought with her instantly defeated his pursuers, leaving them unable to get back on their feet.
At that moment, he felt like he had really seen a deity.
However, Marina was someone who couldn’t resist opening her mouth.
Right after she opened her mouth, everything she said shattered his filters.
After all, no god would be as sharp–tongued as her.
Yet, it was precisely after that incident that they truly became friends.
He learned not to doubt what Marina Bailey said.
Although he couldn’t help but want to argue with her occasionally, she was still the person he trusted most in the world.
“Then I’ll leave first. Let me know when everything is arranged.” Locke said, knowing it wouldn’t be convenient for him to
stay.
He promptly got up and left.
“Alright, Marina replied.
Once Locke left, only Marina and Simon were left in the room.
Simon handed the jade locket to Marina.
“What’s wrong?” Marina looked at him in confusion.

“It’s for you.”
“Why are you giving it to me?” Marina was puzzled.
Was this guy trying to tell her that he was giving it to her because she put in effort to find it?
If that was the case, he would have to sleep on the sofa tonight.
“Keep it safe for me. Fortunately, Simon did not say anything that would upset Marina.
“Why should I keep it for you?” Marina hesitated and didn’t take it from him.
“I think it would be safer with you. Over the years, I have been secretly searching for the Akister Treasure.”
“However, it’s inevitable that news might get out. It’s not safe for me to keep it.”
“You’re my wife. It’s safest for me to leave this with you,” Simon said in a low voice.
Hearing his last sentence, Marina no longer refused and accepted the box from him.
“You’re right. I’m your wife. You should leave the thing you cherished most with me.” Marina raised her chin slightly.
“That’s right. I’ll leave my most important thing with you, Simon said slowly.
Now, they had obtained the key.
Naturally, Marina and Simon wouldn’t stay for long.
Without wasting any time, they immediately started preparing to leave the country.
However, Yann had already guessed that the person who stole the key would leave the country overnight.
Hence, he sealed off all the major exits in Hustralia.
If Marina and Simon wanted to leave quietly, they needed time to make arrangements.
Meanwhile, Marina took advantage of this opportunity to create a new identity for Locke.
However, when Locke received the documents, his face fell.
“Why am I a janitor? Locke wasn’t satisfied at all.
“You should be grateful I didn’t turn you into a beggar. Take your identity and leave quickly.” Marina was too lazy to explain
to him.
Creating a new identity wasn’t something she could do just on a whim.
It required careful consideration and reference to real–life prototypes.
If she really had the power to create a person out of thin air, she would be invincible.
“Alright, alright. I won’t disturb your lovey–dovey time anymore.”
“I can see you prioritize your man over your friend now. How come I never realized you were this kind of person?” Locke carefully gathered all the documents before him and put them into his bag.
These things concerned his life.
He had to handle them with care.
“I’ve always prioritized my lover over my friend. Did you only realize it now?” Marina didn’t refute Locke’s words at all.
Locke was speechless.
“Alright, I’m being too chatty. I’ll leave now.” Locke had never won in bickering.
However, he still liked to provoke her.
Perhaps it was because only Marina could engage in such bickering with him.
“I’m leaving now. Be careful of what happens next. Yann is a vengeful person. Don’t let him catch you red–handed.” It was rare for Locke to be so serious.
“Got it. He’s just an old man. Do you think I’m afraid of him?” Marina snorted.
“Alright, I’m relieved to hear that.” Locke took one last deep look at Marina before turning to leave.
His departing figure looked dashing, but if one looked closely, one could detect a hint of reluctance.
“He likes you!” Simon, who had been silent since Locke left, suddenly spoke up.
“What?” Marina thought she was hearing things.
“If it’s unnecessary, don’t contact him anymore. Simon sounded like he was extremely jealous.

“Why are you imagining things on your own? Locke can’t possibly like me. He enjoys the thrill.”
“I’m not money that everybody like wherever I go.” Marina smiled helplessly.
