Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

The entire Lily House was full of beautiful women, smiling like delicate flowers and dazzling in different poses. Almost every one of them was half-naked. They wore only fitted brassieres in distinct colors, each covered with a thin layer of soft silk, which made them look tempting. Jimmy, who was following Zachary, could not help but secretly swallow his saliva after seeing such a breathtaking scene. He looked dumbfounded.

"Welcome to the Lily House, Master Harley!" Seconds later, the women inside the entire building received Zachary all at once.

"You're so kind to me, beauties. I'm just a warrior of Imperial Level. You don't have to give me a big welcome," Zachary said in a casual tone. He looked very comfortable, chatting, and laughing along.

"Ha-ha, you are too modest, Harley. I don't think this spectacle is impressive enough, however. It should have been grander and over the top." A man's voice suddenly came as if from across a great distance and echoed around the building. Then, a towering and well-built figure emerged on the second floor fronting Zachary. Covered in a silk cloak, he looked very composed and accomplished.

"Bruno, I'm flattered that you've arranged such a warm and extravagant reception to receive me!" Zachary said, and a broad smile played around the corners of his mouth as he looked up.

"Why are you still standing there like dummies? Move quickly and send Harley up right now!" Bruno quickly spoke to the women, giving them a signal with his eyes.

Afterward, several notably charming and good-looking women standing by the doorway surrounded Zachary at once. He had no intention of rejecting them in any way. He held two of them in his arms.

"Jimmy, just stay down here and wait for me," Zachary spun around to tell Jimmy. Then, he went up to the second floor while a large group of courtesans circled him.

"Harley, right this way, please," Bruno said as he gestured to a direction with his hand. He and Zachary walked into a spacious room in the center of the second floor.

The lavish furnishings and intricate embellishments made the room seem like a palace, which gave off an impression that it was not a common area to receive guests. The solid wood, round table laden with varieties of sumptuous dishes and drinks greeted him. After entering the room, Bruno and Zachary sat at opposite sides of the table. Both of them sat in between two women, while the other women just stood behind, waiting t

ld only several drops of it. Meanwhile, Zachary had already supplied six drops to him, including the three drops just now. Therefore, his Hatching Fluid didn't come from the Phoenix House. Bruno was confident that he had another source.

"There is no need to ask about that. Regardless, don't forget our agreement," Zachary said calmly with a smile.

"Of course I won't," Bruno said. Seeing that Zachary didn't want to talk about it, he stopped asking and just put away the bottle.

"I suppose the other reason why you wanted to see me has something to do with your sworn father, Master Daniel, right?" Zachary asked, getting straight to the point. He acted the role of a new Imperial Level warrior, somebody outspoken and superior. So, there was no need for him to beat around the bush now.

"You are a prophet, Harley," Bruno said with a smile after being taken aback for a few seconds. Of course, he was amazed that Zachary could identify his purpose and mention it upfront. He thought that Zachary was quite brazen and proud, just as how rumors described him.

"If you want to say anything to me, say it openly. I don't like pretending to be humble," Zachary clarified.

"If you say so, I will tell you the truth. Not only the Xiao Clan leader attaches great importance to you, but my father also thinks very highly of you too. He has been paying attention to you privately since the first day you joined the clan," Bruno said bluntly.

"Oh, is that so? I didn't expect he would take much notice of me. I have never seen him since I became a member of the clan for a while now," Zachary said carefully, lifting an eyebrow.
