Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Don't do anything reckless, okay?" Tania also sensed that Zachary was about to do something impulsive again, so she felt the need to remind him first before he acted on it.

"You don't have to worry about it. I won't do anything unless I'm absolutely sure. Your life is at stake here, after all. Our goal here is to save your life, not throw my life away. Trust me, I know what I'm doing." Zachary gave her a reassuring smile.

"That's good." Tania caught the confident glint in Zachary's eyes—this immediately comforted her. She trusted her disciple that he knew what he was doing. She gave him a resolute nod.

"Master Tania, how long do you think you can suppress the Spooky Fire Gas?" Zachary asked. This information was vital, since this would dictate how much time he had left.

"It's not wrong for you to think so, sir! Any good leader would be after the welfare of his sect!" Zachary replied.

"Yes, you're right. It's not wrong for a sect leader to think so. However, as a father, it isn't right. I failed her miserably. I pushed her to her limits.
