Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Sir, you are a renowned individual throughout the entire Canopy Kingdom. With your identity, it would be impossible for you to join our organization. It would be futile forcing you to join us. Moreover, our leader has specifically ordered us to spare you since you once saved his life before!" Alisa smiled wickedly. She purposely announced to everyone that Simon had saved Dominic once before, so that they would doubt him, too.

And as it turned out, it was quite effective. Murmurs and whispers were heard all around the Dignity College from sheer shock.

"Lies! How do you explain your strength? You were able to defeat warriors at the medium and premium stage like Malcolm! It's impossible for you to be so powerful..." Alisa continued to debunk him, trying to disclose his lies.

"It's just by sheer luck." Zachary shrugged and smiled.

"Luck? Look into my eyes..." Alisa whispered as she glowered at Zachary.

Hearing that, Zachary frowned. He knew that he couldn't make her believe that he was indeed Zion by mere words, so he had no choice but to look into her eyes.
