Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Vivian propped herself up with both hands and looked around. She saw Zachary sitting close by and he had no qualms staring at her.

"How long have I been in a coma?" she asked with an angry frown.

"Almost two hours have passed. You were too fragile and unfortunate. I could barely believe that you passed out just like that. Are you really a warrior of Imperial Level? I seriously doubt it," Zachary mocked.

Vivian bit her lips and gave him a dirty look.

"Is it worth taking such a huge risk to enter the cave to gather some herbs? If I hadn't acted on time, you might have gotten caught," Zachary asked deliberately, pretending that he didn't know what had happened in the cave.

"Do you think I wanted to do that? But that was the only opportunity," she said and narrowed her eyes. There was something behind her words.

"I'm not a person who pays attention to other people's affairs. This time is an exception, but it won't happen again!" Zachary shrugged and just smiled.

"Thanks!" Vivian replied and gave him a slight nod of her head. Although she didn't want to thank Zachary, he rescued her from danger. She was not an irrational person to disregard someone who saved her life.

"You're welcome," Zachary said with a smile.

At the same time, Vivian looked around and asked endearingly, "What is this place? I've never been here before. We are not in the Xiao Clan Castle, are we?"

"This is my place," Zachary said.

"Your place? But..." When she heard these words, she was stunned for a moment. But soon, she found that three beast shadows were staring at her from not far away, as if they had seen some strange creature. And the three beasts gave off the aura of treasure beasts.

"Do you own the three treasure beasts?" asked Vivian in surprise.

"Don't you know? I have three treasure beasts, which is nothing new," Zachary responded with a hint of displeasure in his voice.

"Why should I know everything about you?" After hearing him speak, Vivian swallowed hard, but she pretended to be distant.

Despite saying so, she couldn't help but steal glances at the three treasure beasts Zachary had. She was very curious about how he handled the three treasure beasts with the strength of Imperial Level.

"Because we almost died together just now," Zach

im progress and go nearer to his position step by step.

Since Zachary stood at the back of the line, he waited for two hours before Ademar Ding finally came to him.

"And you are?" Ademar Ding wasn't very familiar with Zachary. And the aura emitted by Zachary made an impression that he was a nobody, which surprised him.

"My name is Harley Bai," Zachary said, cupping his hands towards him.

"Oh, you are the new warrior of Imperial Level that has just come here!" Ademar Ding looked at him with disdain.

At this time, the other warriors of Imperial Level who hadn't seen Zachary before also focused on him. They had heard of an arrogant and talented warrior of Imperial Level who had come to the Xiao Clan, so they were also very curious. Seeing Zachary dressed like those from the countryside with a bizarre aura, they all shook their heads with contempt. They all seemed to think that Zachary didn't worth any attention. Among them was Carmelo, who had a conflict with Zachary last time. He glanced at him fiercely, as if he was about to gut him like a fish.

"Feel free to ask me any questions," Zachary said to Ademar Ding, ignoring the hostile gazes from the warriors around him.

"Oh. About more than two hours ago, where were you?" Ademar Ding asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I happened to be out by that time," Zachary claimed. He could have asserted that he was training in the room, and Jimmy and Henry could prove it. But he was afraid he would get the two in trouble, so he said that he was out.
