CHAPTER 7 : TOMB BREAKER


“Actually, he tapped her bangle not her wrist. The bangle holds their entire secret. Both of them wore the same bangle. That could only have one meaning. Both of them were related. When I searched for the bangle, I couldn’t find anything at all. Still, I don’t give up. I searched on the rare objects around the world. 

Guess what? The bangles belong to the ancient family named Howct. Their crest was carved on the bangles. Howct family were famous in Egypt as they were one of the oldest families ever existed there. The family was also one of the wealthiest families there. Truth to be told, they were actually tomb breakers. They hid it well. No one knew about them. They owned a company and it helped them to cover their identities. One day, the town was shaken with the news that the whole members of Howct family were found dead. There were no signs of struggling. All of them were stabbed to death while sleeping.

The most shocking news is that, one of the sons was nowhere to be found. There was no corpse or any evidence that he was dead. His name was Cilpher Howct. After that, the truth about them leaked out somehow. The whole town knew about their identities. The Howct mansion was inspected. An underground warehouse was found but there was nothing in it. Rumours has it that Cilpher killed his family and took all the treasures.

“Are you saying the girls were related to him?” Matt, who kept quiet for a long time, asked.
