Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Let's go," Sophie told Zachary, who remained relatively calm with the situation.

Although Zachary's reaction changed a bit after Sophie had released her Holy Level aura, he stayed restrained the whole time. Perhaps it was because he had spent much of his time with Anne that he got used to the Holy Level aura. However, deep inside, it shocked him that Sophie's strength had progressed so quickly. He could not help but think of what Anne had told him about the descendants of the Long Tribe.

'It looks like this woman is most likely to be a descendant of the Long Tribe, just like Katrina. Otherwise, her strength can't possibly have such a fascinating growth over a brief time. Since she has already broken through to the Holy Level, Katrina might have also been...' Thinking of this, Zachary put on an unpleasant smile. If that were the case, then he would let the two Holy Level warriors, Anne and Sophie, usher him. If Katrina's strength also intensified just as much as Sophie's, then he would have three powerful warriors by his side. Specifically, he now had three terrifyingly strong female Holy Level warriors to back him up. From that moment on, nobody would dare to offend him even if he misbehaved.

Zachary didn't want to act high profile to avoid others from getting jealous of him and getting himself into trouble. The most urgent thing was to turn down Sophie because he couldn't go with her for the time being. Although it wouldn't be a terrible thing if he left with her, he gave up on that plan because he had a more pressing matter to deal with. He had successfully set a trap in the Xiao Clan, so he needed to stick around for the result. If he took off with her now, then all his efforts would be in vain. Besides, if he could control the Xiao Clan, he would have substantial help in fighting his way back to the Enigmatic Kingdom and deal with the Zi Clan accordingly. He needed a lot of support to deal with his enemy, so he would not give up the Xiao Clan easily.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go now. It was not simple for me to come here, so don't let me go back empty-handed. I have been through this last time, and I don't want to repeat it. If you piss me off, the consequences will be severe. If I'm not pleased,

things to turn in his favor suddenly. However, he was curious about what Zachary had said to Sophie to make her leave so quickly. But he knew that it was not the right time to interrogate him, so he motioned to Zachary and left the battle area with him.

Soon, all the members of the Xiao Clan, including Vivian and Anthony, assembled and made their way out as quickly as possible in full view, leaving the still confused onlookers behind.

At this point, Marvin, who was still standing in the area, suddenly expressed a tinge of worry. "We have underestimated Harley. I never thought that he would have something to do with Lady Evil. But this may not contribute to something positive to the Xiao Clan, Shura College, or even the Devil Kingdom! Previously, to get him to my side, I had offended Celestial College. Now, even Lady Evil got entangled in these matters. Coupled with his impressive growth, maybe shortly after, the four kingdoms will inevitably have conflicts. However, who wouldn't want to gain such a promising, unmatched talent by his side? Especially now that Lady Evil has broken through to the Holy Level, she is probably the youngest Holy Level warrior in the whole Supernal Continent. This makes the Canopy Kingdom's strength rise once again and becomes greater than the rest. The Canopy Kingdom has always been ambitious, and eventually, it may want to take over the other kingdoms if things continue to improve. So, no matter what, we can't let them get Harley to their side!"
