Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Before entering the Shura College, I had already quit the Ghost Clan and joined another sect. That sect recommended me to the college. Anyway, no warrior would willingly miss out on the opportunity of entering the college, and I am no exception!" Goliath answered, voice gaining momentum.

"Is that true? Still, it's just not enough to make me believe that you're innocent." Zachary had heard the conversation between Goliath and Lilian and due to such, he knew that Goliath was probably under Logan's command as well. Thus, it was only normal that he didn't believe Goliath's words alone, nor did he believe that Goliath had appeared here just by accident.

"If I have the chance, I'll prove it to you in an instant. I'm staying in Alexander City for a while. If you need any help, just come looking for me and it'll be my pleasure to do what I can." And with that, he walked away.

'Why is he even here? I just don't get it. If Logan wanted me to enter the Xiao Clan, then why did he send Goliath? Is he trying to monitor me?' Zachary thought. His mind was like a whirlwind, one idea chasing the next. After he had met the Goliath, Zachary realized that something was off. He had to be cautious at all times.

Now that he had obtained the necessary material, Zachary headed back to his residence. When he returned to his room, which Jimmy and Henry had helped him clean, he closed the door and entered the system. He first completed the Lucky Treasure Combination. At that point, he asked Mimi to retrieve all the possible information on raising treasure beasts. To be a decent beast barn manager, he needed to have enough professional knowledge. Otherwise, the others would only laugh at him.

The next morning, as Zachary left the system and walked out of his room, he noticed that Jimmy and Henry were already waiting for him outside.

"Master Harley, Master Shaw has already sent someone to inform us that he has everything arranged for the handover. All you have to do is meet Master Marcus, the beast barn's previous manager, in order to settle the matter," Henry reported dutifully.

"Okay. In that case, let's leave now." Zachary left immediately, his hands tightly clasped behind his back as he walked away.

Jimmy and Henry

iples heard his stern voice, they hurried back to their cleaning with fear written all over their faces.

"Hey, where are you three from? And why have you come here? The beast barn is an important place. Normally, no one is allowed inside here." At that moment, Ryder Ma noticed that the three people were standing not too far off. He posed himself in a manner that greatly resembled the beast barn manager.

"Master Ryder, this is..." Henry began. He intended to tell him Zachary's true identity. But before he had the chance to say anything, Zachary said first, "We are the three disciples who have just been sent to the beast barn. Master Shaw asked us to come here and report to you."

When Jimmy and Henry heard what Zachary had to say, they were suddenly overwhelmed with confusing. They just couldn't understand exactly what Zachary wanted to do. But because Zachary had said so, they had no choice but to say nothing.

"Oh! Apparently, this new manager is really an important figure. I've complained to Master Shaw before that we don't have enough hands on deck, but he just ignored me. Unexpectedly, when the new manager came, he suddenly transferred three more disciples here. It seems that I have to boot-lick this new manager to get what I need." And with that, he turned to the three of them and said, "Now, come with me." He began to walk straight to the right side of the beast stalls.

After casting a glance at one another, the three of them decided to follow judicially.
