Chapter 455: The angel skeleton of the Forbes estate!

The Forbes family's treasure vault was in the basement of the estate's side building.

After William pushed the door open and turned on the lights, the full view of the square treasure vault instantly entered Hawk's eyes.

Calling it a treasure vault, it didn't look like a treasure vault at all.

Instead, it looked full of gloom.

Because—

Chairs made of slaves' hair.

Wine vessels made of skulls.

And chopsticks made of bones.

It was no exaggeration to say that if the things in this treasure vault were taken out, it would definitely trigger a major earthquake.

Some people would reminisce about that beautiful era.

Of course.

There were also people who would loathe that era immensely.

Without a doubt.

Hawk belonged to the former; he wished he could have been in the same era as Lincoln.

Because if he could have been in the same era as Lincoln, then he would definitely have stopped Lincoln from letting go of that terrible idea in his heart.

However...

Among the many treasures collected by the Forbes family, what attracted Hawk's attention most wasn't these collections made of black slaves, but a skeleton.

A—

Angel skeleton?

Hawk looked at this angel skeleton in front of him, which, even though it had become a skeleton, had its skull, limbs, and the pair of wings behind it firmly locked and fixed to the wall of the treasure vault by iron chains, presenting a kneeling posture. His heart stirred suddenly, and he looked at William beside him.

"This..."

"Yes, an angel skeleton."

William Forbes met Hawk's gaze, smiled, and said with a certain tone: "A genuine angel skeleton."

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

William Forbes looked at the kneeling angel skeleton in front of him, his gaze seemingly reminiscing: "Hawk, that era was the most barbaric era, but it was also the best era. This angel skeleton was found by my grandfather when he got off the ship and came here."

Hawk frowned slightly.

"Did he kill it?"

"Kill?"

"No, no, no."

William Forbes looked at Hawk and shook his head: "This is an angel, Hawk. When the first generation of the Forbes family came here to build the house, they dug it out from here. And when it was dug out, this angel skeleton was already in this state."

Yes.

It was already in this state when it was dug out.

The Forbes family also came from the Mayflower cargo ship. After they came here and prepared to build a house, they dug this angel skeleton out of the land. Because of this, they built the Forbes estate here, also built the side building, and permanently placed this angel skeleton in the treasure vault belonging to the Forbes family.

Hawk listened to William Forbes's story while his sixth sense wandered around this angel skeleton.

He had probably guessed the origin of this angel skeleton.

As everyone knew.

There had once been Jehovah and angels on Earth.

Mephisto could prove this point.

Back then, Earthlings' souls were in the hands of the Heaven dimension. Mephisto came, and after experiencing a divine war between angels and demons, Mephisto finally achieved victory, while Jehovah, his angels, and the Heaven dimension lost the jurisdiction over life and death on Earth.

So, if nothing unexpected happened, this angel skeleton should be an angel who fell during the divine war between the Hell dimension and the Heaven dimension.

However...

"Are these five iron chains used to..."

"Jesus resurrected three days after he died. My grandfather told me not to move these chains, and not to let this angel skeleton be exposed to sunlight, otherwise, it would resurrect."

"... Alright."

Hawk heard this explanation and nodded with a smile.

Resurrection was impossible.

After all, if you want to resurrect, you have to follow basic laws, right?

He needed a soul and a body to resurrect his sister.

Right now, this angel skeleton, besides having a skeleton left, had no flesh or soul. If this could resurrect, unless Jehovah was truly omnipotent.

But he wasn't.

Because Jehovah couldn't create a boulder he couldn't lift, so Jehovah wasn't omnipotent.

But...

"Jehovah."

"Heaven."

"Angel?"

"Heh."

At night.

After accompanying Gwen and eating dinner with Grandfather William Forbes, Aunt Liz Forbes, and cousin Caroline Forbes, Hawk returned to the guest room of the estate and lay on the bed, thinking about the angel skeleton he saw in the Forbes treasure vault in the afternoon, his heart thoughtful.

William Forbes taking him to see the angel skeleton, which was called the Forbes family's biggest secret, wasn't a whim or a temporary idea.

Because Grandfather William wanted him to inherit the Forbes estate.

This sounded ridiculous, but William Forbes did indeed say so.

The reason? William didn't say, and Hawk didn't ask.

But if Hawk were to guess, this might be related to William Forbes knowing he didn't have much time left.

Yes.

William Forbes was sick, with at most a year or so left, so he was thinking of finding an heir for the Forbes estate.

Hawk was a bit curious why William Forbes chose him and Gwen.

But this wasn't what Hawk was most curious about.

What Hawk was most curious about was the faint but definitely existing familiar scent he smelled from the angel skeleton when he used his sixth sense to gain insight into it.

Counting this time, he had smelled that familiar scent he had smelled on Dr. Merrick's soul for the fourth time.

The first time, Damon outside the estate.

The second time was Caroline.

The third time was that Elena.

The fourth time was this angel right now.

If sorted by concentration from high to low, Elena's scent was the highest, and this angel's scent was the greatest.

But the scent of Elena's soul wasn't the same as the scent on Dr. Merrick's soul.

She was also contaminated.

However, Hawk already had a guess about the true owner of this scent.

This was why he was first in a trance and then enlightened after seeing Elena.

But whether it was true, he still needed evidence.

Just then.

Gwen also came out after taking a shower in the bathroom, grooming her long hair with a comb while looking at Hawk lying on the bed: "Are you sure you won't tell me what's in the treasure vault?"

Hawk came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "Sorry, Grandfather won't let me say."

Gwen shrugged: "You don't have to say, I probably guessed it. It must be something that will give you nightmares after seeing it."

She also knew how the Forbes family made their fortune.

So...

Gwen also had a guess about what was in the treasure vault.

If you don't say it, you don't say it.

She was afraid she would have nightmares after knowing.

"Alright, go take a shower."

"I plan to go out for a trip."

"Hmm?"

Gwen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sky outside through the window, her eyes lighting up: "Now? To see vampires? Can I go see them?"

Hawk laughed: "Haven't you already seen them?"

Gwen blinked, thinking Hawk was talking about when they entered the town: "No way, when we entered the town, you just mentioned it, I didn't even see a shadow."

Hawk shook his head: "No, you saw them, and you've been looking at them all afternoon."

I saw them, and I've been looking at them all afternoon?

Gwen was stunned by Hawk's words, then her thoughts turned, and then she seemed to think of something, looked at Hawk, her pupils gradually expanding.

"You mean my cousin..."

"Yes."

"Hiss!"

Gwen took a sharp breath, then looked shocked.

The next second.

She shook her head. ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
