Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Don't worry, master. I know where to draw the line. It's perilous getting exposed so I'll make sure they'd never find me out," Zachary reassured her.

Tania sighed. "I'm not worried about anything. Anne can move freely in the real world now; she should be able to help you when you encounter some problems. It's a pity that I still need some time to recover. Otherwise, I would've come with you," she bemoaned.

Maybe you can ask the dean personally to confirm it?"

The disciple shrugged. "Forget it. It's not a big deal. Besides, since they are Sage Level warriors of the Dignified Supernal Sect, our dean must have been informed beforehand." He acted respectfully around Zachary. After all, they were a prominent force and he didn't want to get on their bad side.

"Thank you very much," Zachary said, cupping his hands.

Once it was all settled, the disciple handed a number plate to Zachary. After he took it, he immediately put it away, turned around, and left the logistics hall.
