Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Chapter 560 Vivian's Disappearance

"Good. If you can successfully refine the pills according to the formula, you'll get well soon upon taking the pills. You have your father to thank for becoming this sick. Ever since Craig, our eldest brother, passed on the position of the Xiao Clan leader to him, he seems to have changed into an entirely different person. Perhaps no one wanted to admit it, but I knew that he and I were the best out of our four brothers. I even saved his life once. Unfortunately, he never managed to return the favor. What's more, to claim the position of the clan leader, your father set up Daniel and did everything he could to ensure his victory." The elderly voice grew more and more agitated with each word it spoke.

"What on earth did my father do? What you're saying is complete nonsense," Vivian answered back calmly—a demeanor that she always tried to portray whenever she was accused.

"Ha-ha! No wonder you're a Xiao Clan descendant. Always levelheaded and decent despite a tricky situation. You shall become quite famous in the future, Vivian. However, I advise you to leave the clan immediately once you've been cured. Daniel will stop at nothing to revenge your father sooner or later. By that time, the Xiao Clan will be his target and you'll be his biggest goal. He'll take advantage of you to threaten your father..." the old voice warned.

"If that day comes, I won't retreat. I'll find a way to defuse the feud between my father and Uncle Daniel. That way, the Xiao Clan will remain standing and continue to serve this world with honor," Vivian reassured. This was what made her an admirable and respectable member of the clan—her loyalty towards her family. No matter what the situation might be, she would never abandon her own blood.

"The ongoing feud between your father and Daniel is more complicated than you think. You may not have known this but...your mother was once in love with Daniel and not your father," the voice suddenly added. This was all new to Vivian.

'Oh God! I can't believe a crazy love story like that could ever exist within the Xiao Clan! This is all so...intriguing. If what he says is true, then that means... Vivian may be Daniel's daughter, ' Zachary thought to himself. Now he knew that the internal relationships that existed within the clan were more complicated than he

oar which sounded just like a lion. As it spread, it created a cascade of tremors that began chasing Zachary and Vivian.

Feeling this powerful wave catch up to him, Zachary immediately summoned his martial energy as well to try and withstand it. Vivian, on the other hand, couldn't summon hers. Instead, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her movements began to slow down. She looked as though she was about to pass out. The Imperial Level warrior rushed to her direction and outstretched his arms as if to catch her within the next few seconds.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Vivian. With a burst of bright light, the figure flew into the air and took Vivian with it. They rushed towards the edge of a cliff at high speed before diving back down quickly.

"Go and tell our leader that people have broken into the Primitive Cave! Request for backup!" the Imperial Level warrior furiously ordered his disciples. He was responsible for guarding the cave so he couldn't leave his post without permission.

In less than half an hour, several Imperial Level warriors from the Xiao Clan arrived at the foot of the cliff under the Primitive Cave along with the disciples who requested their help. They began to look for the intruders, but to no avail as they found nothing at the end of their search.

Meanwhile, Vivian finally woke up from her concussion due to the tremors from earlier. As her eyes fluttered open, she found herself in the middle of a magnificent paradise.

"Are you awake?" a man's voice called out to her from behind.
