The Count of Monte Cristo - Chapter 18 – The Treasure

Abbé Faria reveals his greatest secret: a hidden fortune buried long ago on the island of Monte Cristo. What others dismissed as madness, he proves with fragments of a centuries-old will, pieced together through years of study. The treasure—gold, jewels, and riches beyond imagination—was entrusted to the Spada family, but its secret survived only in Faria’s hands. Now, facing his frailty and fearing death, he passes the legacy to Edmond Dantès. Overwhelmed by gratitude, Edmond embraces the abbé as a father and begins to see not just freedom ahead, but destiny itself.
