Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"You haven't forgotten about our previous plan to meet up, have you? Come and meet me in the woods a mile away from the farmhouse," Zachary said to Polly all of a sudden.

Polly was struck dumb for a few seconds. She had forgotten that Zachary had promised to help her become a King Level weapon refiner.

"Let's go," Zachary said to Queenie and others, casting a glance at them. Then they left together.

"Polly, you have a plan to meet up with Harley? It seems that you two get along well in private," Pollard said in a meaningful tone.

"Don't overthink it. There's nothing special going on between us," Polly said in a low voice. Since she didn't know how to explain things to her brother, she chose to turn away and leave instead.

On their way back to the farmhouse, Queenie asked Zachary, "Why do you have a plan to meet up with Polly? It seems so mysterious."

"There's nothing to it. I just want to do her a favor," Zachary answered with a mysterious smile. "I have something else to do now. I have to go." In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, as he always did.

"What the hell is he doing? How could he just up and leave like that? I was going to hold a celebration party for him," Queenie grumbled.

Scott and Rebecca looked just as confused as she was. It was obvious none of them had a clue what Zachary was up to.

After parting with Queenie, Rebecca and Scott, Zachary didn't enter the system immediately. Instead, he went to a remote place empty of people and waited. Not long after, a graceful female figure flew down from the sky and landed right in front of him.

"I knew you would come to me." Zachary looked at Katrina, who was standing in front of him.

"I didn't expected you to manage to accomplish what I asked you to do in such a short time. You've made it in just half a year. Not only that, but you've already become the focus of attention of everyone in Shura College. You'll definitely become the most popular Imperial Level warrior in the Devil Kingdom!" Katrina sighed with pleasure. She thought that it would take Zachary at least a few years to make it happen. She had wanted him to stay longer in Shura College. But now,

ed for that," explained Katrina.

"It seems that you have achieved your aim." It was not until he had heard Katrina's explanation that Zachary understood why she had wanted to make it up to him. And she had achieved her goal.

"In the past, she would have preferred to be threatened by me rather than comply and cooperate. However, once I told her that you are still alive, she suddenly had a change of heart. She said that she wanted to know your whereabouts and was willing to do anything to make it happen. Although it might sound a bit strange, I think your death might have affected her," Katrina continued.

"Really? Should I feel happy then?" Zachary said with a bitter smile. Sophie was such a tough nut to crack.

"I don't know. If she comes to you one day, just give her the marriage contract. I don't think she will want anything else from you," Katrina replied.

"What if she kills me to keep the secret?" Zachary asked casually.

"That will be your fate. I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself!" After she said that, Katrina turned into a ray of dazzling golden light and floated away.

"After all, I am still the one at a disadvantage and Master Katrina has achieved her goal. But that's not entirely bad. At least, I have the marriage contract as a trump card. Should I be looking forward to seeing Sophie?" With an evil and attractive smile lifting the corners of his mouth, Zachary disappeared as he entered the system.
