Looking at the several figures escaping a distance away, Jackson was stunned. "W-What?"He didn't expect Sophia and the others would leave so quickly. They even left without informing Jackson.Even if they needed to retreat, they should have at least told Jackson.By doing this, it seemed that they were leaving Jackson and his team to fend for themselves."Jackson risked his life to save them. Yet, the Harmony Sect's disciples just left like that. How ungrateful!" Hiding nearby, Garrett couldn't help but shake his head in disgust."It's hard to predict what people are thinking. It looks like Jackson's fiancée isn't a good person.""How pitiful. Jackson ended up in this situation just because of a few ungrateful brats."The crowd gossiped among themselves.Emberson Steel and Harmony Sect were alliances, while Jackson and Sophia were engaged.Normally, they should work together to face the enemy when in danger. They could even create a remarkable love story this way.Unexpected
When Jackson and the others rushed over to the source of the sound, they saw Sophia surrounded by the members of Fantasy Sea Alliance.The other disciples from the Harmony Sect had already fallen into a pool of blood, leaving Sophia to fend for herself.Sophia was already injured, not to mention she had used a lot of her energy. Now that she had been surrounded in such circumstances, it was easy to guess what would happen to her."Guys! This woman is so pretty! I think it's a shame if we kill her like that. We should let her live. Then, we can have fun with her today!" the man taking the lead shouted. He was looking at Sophia's curvy body with delight."Agreed!" The bunch of Fantasy Sea Alliance members grinned sinisterly.Harmony Sect's Sophia was a well-known beauty in the martial arts world. If they could have a taste of her, it was worth it for them to risk their lives."How shameless! I'll kill all of you!" Sophia was angered as she swung the Harmony Saber in her hands wit
Screams filled the place.The leader was the only one skillful enough to block all the arrows. Meanwhile, the other members of the Fantasy Sea Alliance were lying in a pool of blood."Fuck! How dare you kill my members! Just wait for it. I'll be back!" After the leader yelled this, he quickly ran away."Jackson, don't let him get away!" Sophia immediately shouted."You bastard! Let's see how you're going to escape." Without even thinking about it, Jackson ran after him with his sword. Then, they engaged in a fight.The leader of Fantasy Sea Alliance was indeed capable. However, he still could not be compared to a gifted martial artist like Jackson.After the duo exchanged several moves, Jackson knocked him to the ground, risking his arm getting slashed in the process.Then, Jackson pressed the long knife against his neck, causing him unable to move."Please! Please don't kill me … I know I was wrong! I have a wife and a newborn child. Please spare my life. I promise to turn o
Although Emberson Steel's disciples were discontent with Sophia's actions, they had to endure it for Jackson.Therefore, Sophia safely joined the team under Jackson's protection."Sophia, let me introduce you to Ms. Linsor. Not only is she beautiful, but she's kind-hearted too. She's also the one who drove the members of Fantasy Sea Alliance away and saved us. "We're only safe right now because of her." Jackson brought Sophia forward and did a simple introduction."Thank you, Ms. Linsor. I don't know how to compensate you for saving our lives. I'll definitely report to my elders for them to repay you once I return!" Sophia said in gratitude."There's no need to be so polite, Sophia. You're Jackson's fiancée, which means you're also my friend. Thus, it's just right for me to save you." Grace smiled faintly."Ms. Linsor, Emberson Steel, and Harmony Sect owe you a favor no matter what." Jackson thanked her sincerely.Fantasy Sea Alliance wasn't an easy group to deal with. Despite
"A treasure trove? Where?" Everyone became excited upon hearing that.They entered the oasis just to find treasures. However, not only did they find nothing, but many had lost their lives over it.Thus, they felt very excited upon hearing that there was a place with treasures."Actually, I planned to explore the treasure trove after backup arrives." Sophia seemed reluctant."Sophia, time waits for no one. By the time the elite members of your sect come, there's a chance that someone has already discovered the treasure trove!" Garrett felt anxious.They finally had a chance to obtain treasures. Thus, they naturally didn't want to miss out on it."That's right. We're in the same boat right now. Why don't you tell the truth so that we can look for the treasure together? "We can split it among ourselves once we find it. Deal?" the short-haired woman added."I can tell you, but we have to set some ground rules. Harmony Sect is the one that found the treasure trove. "If you find a
"What's happening?" Grace quickly noticed Dustin's abnormal behavior."The Celestial Eye has detected something," Dustin replied in a lowered voice."Hmm?" Grace's eyes lit up and her heart was in her throat. "Could it be the Dracan essence?""I'm not sure." Dustin shook his head lightly. While it was true that the Celestial Eye could sense other treasure nearby, it couldn't accurately tell what the treasure was. Hence, he couldn't be certain if the hidden object near the lake was Dracan essence. The only thing that he was sure of was that the treasure was extraordinary as there was a huge reaction from the Celestial Eye."Whatever it may be, I have to go check it out myself. Later, we'll play by ear and please pay attention to even the smallest detail," Grace said seriously. If the Dracan essence was really hidden nearby, she'd do anything to get her hands on it."Got it." Dustin nodded and didn't say too much. Instead, he paid extra attention to the Celestial Eye's reactio
No one knew that the lake would be filled with water again when morning came and the palatial building was completely hidden beneath. Sophia didn't dive into the lake as she couldn't determine what was in the water."Are you sure that there is treasure hidden at the bottom of the lake?" Aidan asked again."It's true! I swear!" Sophia appeared very certain."Alright, we'll wait here then. We'll see what is really at the bottom of the lake tonight." Aidan nodded."Mr. Ridge, why do we have to wait till nightfall? Isn't it better to just explore the lake now?" Garrett suggested. Everyone knew that the monsters were most active at night. It might appear quiet and peaceful now, however, there might be many different monsters appearing by the lake at night. It'd be dangerous then."The lake is deep and we can't see the bottom. If you go in now, you can't even see where you're going. How are you going to search for the treasure?" Aidan commented casually."Mr. Ridge, to be honest, m
As Dozer dove in, the rolling waves quieted down slowly. Everyone stood and waited quietly at the shore, each lost in their own thoughts. It was a very quiet lake with emerald water. The visibility in the lake was very low as no fish were seen. It was obvious that it was a little abnormal.Time ticked by slowly and very soon, five minutes had passed. The surface of the lake remained calm and there was no movement under the surface as well. The trio that dove in had disappeared completely and they made no waves."It's been five minutes since they dove in, right? Why aren't they surfacing yet? Could there have been an accident?""Likely impossible. If there was any monster in the lake, they must have put up a fight with it. However, there isn't any sign of struggle. It's enough to prove that they're alright.""An undercurrent could have pulled them under and drowned them?"Looking at the calm surface of the lake, everyone started discussing and guessing. Martial artists might
