NovelStartChapter 1679: Successful Delivery
Ivan's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the sculpture being carried by his two subordinates. A luxurious red silk cloth covered
it, exuding an ethereal and ceremonial aura. Then he turned his gaze to Rowan and spoke in a gentle tone, "Prince, during your last
visit to Lu Layeka, it was too rushed forto prepare a gift for you. This time, | happened to meet a renowned artist in Arkpool
City, so | had him customize this sculpture for your safety and also for its aesthetic appeal. It resembles the gods in human
dreams. It's just a small token of our meeting. | hope you like it."
While Ivan spoke, Rowan stared at him intently, and the two men's gazes converged. Rowan understood Ivan's thoughts and
intentions. He was Ivan, and he didn't need to please anyone. Why would he give a sculpture as a gift?
Surely, this was not an ordinary sculpture. Rowan guessed that it was hollow inside and being carried by two people, merely a
cover-up.

"Thank you for your kind gesture, Mr. Marsh. | really like it. Happy New Year," Rowan replied gracefully, then turned to his servant
and instructed, "Please take the gift Mr. Marsh has brought and place it in my study. Be careful not to touch it."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
With Catherine witnessing the scene, two servants carefully received the sculpture covered in red silk from the hands of the two
men. They then walked towards the nearby elevator. They were a bit puzzled as to why two people were needed to carry the
sculpture, but they thought it was for ceremonial purposes. Through the ethereal silk, both servants could feel the beauty of the
sculpture.
Catherine pondered that the gift from Mr. Marsh to Prince Louis was just a side matter. The person he really wanted to give it to
was Tyler. However, there were only two princes in the royal family, and Mr. Marsh was a wealthy person who didn't want to attract
unnecessary attention. So he had to play fair.
After delivering the gift, Ivan didn't linger any longer. "Prince, | won't disturb you any further," he said while surveying the
surroundings. "You seem to enjoy flowers and plants, and | believe you must appreciate tranquility."
Rowan remained gentle and smiled as he gazed at Ivan. "I enjoy finding serenity amidst the hustle and bustle."
"Good, that's great," Ivan replied. "Then we'll take our leave. You can continue with your tasks."
"Very well, Mr. Marsh, you're welcto visit for tea whenever you have time," Rowan extended an invitation to Ivan in front of
Catherine. "I've recently acquired a batch of new tea leaves, and | believe you're quite knowledgeable about tea. I'd like to discuss
it with you."
"Sure, another time," Ivan nodded, then glanced at Catherine.
While Catherine's demeanor appeared gentle, her thoughts were clear. Louis, oh Louis, you won't be able to win over Ivan!
With a smile on her face, she deliberately spoke affectionately, "Let's go, Mr. Marsh. You've been on the plane for a long time, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit must have been tiring. Let's deliver Tyler's gift and have stea."
Ivan looked at Rowan, then turned and walked towards the door. Ivan understood Catherine's intentions as clearly as a mirror.
Her light gaze glanced past Rowan's face before following him, intentionally staying close to Ivan. She wanted to use this physical
gesture to tell Louis that Ivan was on her side and he shouldn't harbor any illusions.
Watching their departing figures, Rowan's lips curled up, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. After they left, he turned and headed
upstairs.
Locking the door to his study, Rowan approached the sculpture and carefully removed the red silk covering. The sculpture was truly
beautiful, resembling both a human and a god. Its graceful form brought a sense of joy.
However, it didn't pique Rowan's interest too much. His slender fingers explored the sculpture, searching for mechanisms. He then
examined it closely for any cracks. After a thorough inspection, he found that the head of the sculpture could be twisted. So he
gently removed the head.
As expected, Rowan saw a small box inside.
