Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Aren't you a little over your heads? You sent a woman in here to threaten us by releasing some poison? Do you think that's going to work? We can easily detoxify ourselves!"

"Exactly! Why would we want to submit to the Moon Shadow anyway? Dream on!"

"Get the fuck out of here! Once we're all detoxified, we would never let any of you bastards get away with this. We will attack when you least expect it. And once that happens, we won't spare you even if you beg for mercy."

"T-The Moon Shadow?" Sara and the others were immediately shocked. They would never forget the Moon Shadow, because Zachary was killed by the leader of the organization, Dominic. Hence, when they heard the organization's name once again, their blood ran cold. They were immediately enraged and couldn't restrain the impulse to avenge their late friend.

"Are you sure? But even if it has something to do with the Moon Shadow, how could they have the guts to publicly pull of such a stunt?! Besides, the contest has gathered most of the powerful Sage Level warriors in the Canopy Kingdom. Is the Moon Shadow capable enough to deal with them?" Sara still had lots of thoughts in her mind. After all, everything that Zachary told them sounded unbelievable.

Queenie and the others also nodded in agreement, sharing her skepticism.
