Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"What did you say? Polly is missing?" Jace was shocked to hear what Pollard said. He immediately asked, "Could it be that she has hidden herself because of the previous danger?"

"I've looked for her everywhere, but I can't find any trace of her. If she had hidden herself, I would have found her already," Pollard answered with a frown.

"Do you think she has been kidnapped?" Jace speculated, trying to think of various possibilities for his daughter's disappearance.

"Maybe the people who ambushed us kidnapped her!" Zachary added. His face became serious as he knew that Polly's sudden disappearance could not be a coincidence.

When the warriors around heard their conversation, they looked at one another with mixed emotions. They also knew that Polly's disappearance would not be an accident. They guessed that someone might have played a deeper game. But they could not imagine who could be so bold as to kidnap Jace's daughter.

"Look at the mountain!" shouted some people out of the blue.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the two mountains, which was where the Sun-swallowing Beast was located. They saw a figure in a black robe, who seemed to be carrying an unconscious female in his arms, floating between the mountains. The figure was only about ten meters away from the Sun-swallowing Beast.

"Polly!" Jace exclaimed. He instantly recognized his daughter lying limp in the arms of the figure in the black robe.

"Who the hell is that bastard? Why did he kidnap Polly?" Pollard was very anxious by now.

All the warriors present were just as shocked to find that Jace's daughter had really been kidnapped by the mysterious figure. That was because few people in the Devil Kingdom would dare to cause harm to Jace's family. They assumed that the person in black would by no means be an ordinary person.

"Oh no! It's him!" Zachary mumbled. In fact, he was the most surprised one at the moment, because he had identified the mysterious person in the black robe. It was no other than Logan, the guy who had involved him in a great conspiracy at the time. As soon as he saw Logan, he realized that the previous surprise attack of the beasts must have been arranged by Logan. It was obvious why Logan did it—he wanted to deal with all these clans and sects of the Devil Kingdom and destroy them in one go.

On the other hand, now that Jace found that his daughter was at Logan's mercy, he could

faced on Logan's face.

Jace fell silent for a moment. If what Logan said was true, it was understandable that he really had no choice in such a situation. After all, he had already been viewed as a sinner by everybody in the Devil Kingdom at that time.

"All right. Let go of Polly. Then we will have a good talk. If you were really framed at that time, I will no longer stand by idly," Jace assured him immediately as he was afraid about the safety of his daughter.

"I appreciate your kindness, but it is irrelevant now," Logan dismissed him coldly. He already had his revenge plan in mind. He was waiting to make those people pay for what they had done. "Your daughter looks very much like your wife. They are both very beautiful. If my daughter was with me today, she would be her age too. But the fact is that I have no idea where she is or even whether she is alive or not!"

"Please don't hurt Polly for the sake of our old friendship," Jace pleaded. He was afraid that Logan would do something unthinkable.

"You really underestimate me. Although I am no longer the person I was twenty years ago, you treated me well back then. So, I won't put you in a difficult position or hurt your daughter. But I still have one request..." Logan said slowly and deliberately. His eyes darkened with anger.

"Anything! Just tell me!" Jace nodded, eager to get his daughter out of harm's way.

"Leave this place with your children right away, because something horrible is going to happen here, and you can't stop it! If you don't want to get entangled in all this, then leave as soon as possible!" warned Logan.
