Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Watch out!" A sweet voice suddenly came from the snow-white beast. Then, a woman dressed in blue shot a few soft but tough silk threads from the snow-white beast. In an instant, the threads wrapped around Zachary's wrist, preventing him from falling.

Zachary adjusted his body midair and slowly landed on the ground with the help of the threads.

Instead of taking back her silk threads, the woman in blue followed Zachary to the ground.

Not long after, both of them settled down a few meters from each other.

"Thank you for your help." Once he was steady on his feet, Zachary checked himself and then breathed a sigh of relief. That drop would have caused some damage if he hadn't been saved. He immediately looked up at the snow-white beast and the woman clad in blue.

The woman got off the beast and moved towards Zachary. When their eyes met, he was taken aback for a moment.

"What? Alisa?" Zachary's body shook in astonishment. The delicate face right in front of him merged with the woman from his memory. Although she had completely changed and become more beautiful, he found her familiar. Feelings that were constantly surging from deep within him rolled around with memories he couldn't remember. He was certain this woman was identical to the fiancee of the original owner of the body he was inhabiting.

Before, Zachary had mistakenly thought Katrina was the fiancee. However, Katrina had only resembled her in spirit. This woman was a perfect fit, from look to spirit.

When the woman heard Zachary call her Alisa, she instantly stopped. How could a stranger she had never seen before know her name? Despite her memory loss, she still vaguely remembered some man calling her that once. Unfortunately, she couldn't remember his face. It was all like a hazy dream.

She stopped moving closer and stared at Zachary without even blinking. It was as if she was looking for something that might help remind her of her past. Sadly, she got nothing out of him. That might have partially been because he was not the original Zachary.

"Why did you call me Alisa?" I don't even know who you are," she asked in a steely voice. Zachary's tone as he called her name made her uncomfortable.

"Your name is Alisa Ling. Am I right?" Zachary asked with narrowed eyes.

"Everyone in Crane Col

hink they will complete this task today. So, I don't think you will have the chance to see Harley today," Zachary answered, pretending to feel sorry for her. But he was secretly playing hard to get. Some part of him was convinced Linda might know how to make those beasts go back to their home on their own.

"Barnes always likes to play these tricks. He tricked me with this same before. It's actually rather easy to get those treasure beasts to go back," Linda stated with a smile before she let out a chuckle.

"Really? Could you please tell me what it is?" Zachary asked promptly.

"Take me to find Harley first. I will tell him in person when I see him." Linda was not stupid. She was sure that the man in front of her knew where her target was.

Zachary hesitated. He couldn't just tell her he was the person she was looking for. Even if he told her the truth, it was highly likely that she would not believe his words. Not to mention, she might choose to teach him a lesson. With her strength, dealing with her would mean trouble.

"Linda, you are putting me in a corner here. Crane College is rather big. I really don't know where to find him. But we can make a deal. If you tell me how to fulfill this task, I promise I will let you meet Harley," Zachary continued.

"I don't believe you," Linda said tightly.

"Well, then I'm afraid there is only one thing for me to do now. I will show what you gave me earlier to everyone and tell them that you have fallen in love with me." Zachary chose to use his trump card.
