Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Vivi, please take off your veil. I didn't mean to offend you. I just want to see your true face." The man with dashing eyebrows was obviously rude. Nonetheless, he acted like he was a gentleman.

"No way!" Of course, Vivian wouldn't take her veil off. She didn't want the man to achieve whatever his goal was.

"You little bitch. Fine! Then don't blame me for being rude." The man laughed and suddenly approached Vivian. Without any hesitation, he released his aura at the medium stage of Imperial Level. Because of the great disparity in strength between them, the man easily suppressed Vivian's aura. Helpless and unable to move, she couldn't even react to the man's movements. In the blink of an eye, the man's hand was about to touch the veil.

However, a hand suddenly stretched out from nowhere. The hand lightly grabbed the man's wrist and stopped the rude man's approach. Although grip of the hand didn't seem to be very powerful, the man couldn't move his own hand anymore.

When he saw how the stranger's hand easily stopped him, the man changed his expression. A murderous glare was shot by the rude man at the unexpected person, who was none other than Zachary.

"Vivi is really ugly. She doesn't want to expose herself to others. That's why she covers her face with a veil. I advise you not to see her, or you will be regretful!" said Zachary with a serious look on his face.

"That's my business, not yours. Take your filthy hand off me!" The man hastily threw away Zachary's hand. When the rude man wanted to make another move, he noticed that Vivian suddenly stepped back. At the same time, Zachary also placed his body between the rude man and Vivian.

However, Vivian was also shocked by what happened. It wasn't her intention to step back from the man before her. Instead, she was drawn back by a force. Immediately, she realized the force should've been from Zachary. Even so, he should be only at the first grade of Imperial Level. A surprised expression painted her face as she wondered why he wasn't influenced by this man's aura. The man with dashing eyebrows also noticed the sudden release of

then it was really powerful.

The man's cultivation level was at least three grades higher than that of Zachary. Additionally, even the Holy Bone Bracer could not absorb the full power of the man's Thunderous Jab. However, Zachary was smart enough to use the defensive power of the ice to weaken the man's attack first, and then he used the absorption ability of the Holy Bone Bracer to block the jab of the man. Actually, everything that happened just then was under full control of Zachary which was why he appeared to be very calm.

When she witnessed that Zachary could easily block the attack of the man, Vivian was surprised. Despite his inferior aura, she didn't expect that he was so good at fighting. At that moment, she finally understood why her father thought highly of him. The reason was that he was indeed someone very amazing.

"What? Who the hell are you?" The man frowned. Although Zachary didn't release a strong aura, the man immediately concluded from the ice shield that Zachary had already reached the Imperial Level.

"Just a follower," Zachary answered honestly.

"A follower?" The man furrowed his eyebrows. The mysteriousness and immense talent of Zachary made him wonder about what kind of person Vivian was. If Zachary was only her follower, then she must be an extremely important figure. After all, it was not easy for ordinary people to have a follower at the Imperial Level.
