Chapter 505 This Isn’t Mr. White’s Ashes
“My son’s ashes have been stored here for two years and it cost two million bucks?”
“it’s absurd!”
Camry and Teresa were anxious when the woman demanded that much money from them just to retrieve James‘ urn.
“Expensive? If you think that’s expensive, don’t store it here. Just sprinkle the ashes into the air and that’s it,” the woman argued.
Her disrespect and harsh words upset the elderly couple.
“You better watch your mouth!” Kaze said coldly.
The woman shot a glance at him and scoffed back coldly. She was obviously not afraid of him.
“It’s not that I want that much. My boss said that James White is bad luck. If others know that his ashes are stored here, they won’t store their family ashes here anymore. My boss went through a lot to agree to let you keep his ashes here, so the storage fee is a million a year.”
Bad luck? What kind of nonsense was that?
“My son was a decent man! What do you mean that he’s bad luck?!” Camry was upset.
“What do I mean? You have to ask your son yourself.”
The woman scoffed and added, “Two years ago, everyone in Lilyrose knew James White. He’s ungrateful, a cheater, and he abandoned his wife. Everyone in the city talked about him behind his back. Of course his ashes are bad luck! We have to store his urn independently and keep him away from the others.”
The elderly couple got so agitated that they were breathing heavily with flushed faces.
If they continued to argue with the woman, they would suffer from heart attacks. Kaze held Camry by the shoulder and then said to the woman coldly, “One more word and I will turn you into ashes!”
His frosty voice instilled fear in the woman but she was only stunned for a moment before she grunted and continued, “Our boss said it. No two million, no ashes.”

Kaze frowned. The woman was obviously blackmailing them.
Given his personality, he would never tolerate people who tried to threaten him.
However, Jessica, who was also holding onto Teresa, said, “Two million it is. I’ll write a check. You can go retrieve the urn now.”
She then wrote a check and gave it to the woman.
“For real?”
The woman glanced at Jessica with disbelief. She then took the check inside for the finance department to verify it.
Jessica noticed Kaze was slightly displeased by her taking the initiative to dissolve the conflict. She said softly, “The ashes are in their hands. If they do something behind our backs or swap it with something else, we wouldn’t know. We should focus on taking back James‘ ashes first.”
She was right.
Kaze nodded.
“You guys wait here. My colleague is bringing the urn over.”
Soon, the woman came back with a better attitude after receiving the payment.
Kaze thought of Jessica’s words and he dared not fully trust the funeral home’s service anymore.
He turned around and shot a glance at one of the Garo soldiers.
The soldiers nodded in silence.
While the woman was distracted by her snacks, he snuck into the office and went to the storage area.
A while later, another funeral home staff came out with a box.
“This is James White’s urn. Have a look. If it’s alright, just sign it.”
The urn was sealed and it was labeled with James‘ name.
“Is this James‘ urn?” Kaze asked the elderly couple.
Camry nodded excitedly. “Yes. It is! We picked this urn for James ourselves.”
Teresa nodded.
Right before the two of them signed the papers, the Garo soldier emerged from behind the funeral home staff member with a furious look.
“That is not Mr. James White’s ashes!”
