Chapter 846: Striking a Deal

"Is this a time-related item?" Xu Huo turned to ask Mr. Dong.

"It should be," Mr. Dong replied.

The sand had stopped flowing back to the top; the glass could no longer maintain its shape and shattered on the table.

Without Bai Kou's assistance, Xu Huo was also unable to perceive the subtle changes in space. He handed the hourglass back to Mr. Dong, "Let's talk about this later."

Mr. Dong had no choice but to take the hourglass away and said, "Mr. He Pu does not wish to hand over the Rose Castle to Miss Kou Kou."

Xu Huo knew that, but still asked, "Why?"

His inheritance of the Rose Castle was not exactly legitimate. Mr. He Pu had only mentioned finding an heir, and it was Mr. Dong who had made him the actual inheritor. Perhaps Mr. He Pu had given special instructions, but Xu Huo did not know much about the castle.

"Mr. He Pu said so," Mr. Dong resumed his role as the stern, unsmiling butler who strictly followed his master's orders.
