Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"The last time he caused trouble, I turned a blind eye to it. I can't let him go without being punished this time!" Barnes exclaimed furiously. After thinking for a moment, he called out to one of his men.

An Imperial Level warrior immediately walked in. He approached Barnes and bowed in front of him.

"Go to the Tiger Bamboo Forest and bring Harley from the Devil Kingdom here. You have to do whatever it takes to bring him to me even if he refuses," Barnes ordered firmly.

The warrior cupped his hands and accepted to carry out the task. When he turned around to leave the hall, a delicate figure suddenly flew in and landed softly. She stretched out her hand to block the Imperial Level warrior. "You don't need to invite him here," she said in a sweet voice.

Hearing this, Barnes and the others stared at her with various expressions.

The figure was none other than Linda.

"Linda, why would you stop him?" Barnes asked in a serious tone.

"I don't think it's necessary. The reason he hurt people is all because of me," Linda said indifferently.

When Evan and the three other Imperial Level warriors heard her claim, they exchanged glances in confusion. They had no idea why Linda would get herself into this trouble.

"Because of you? But why? I don't see any connection," Barnes asked with doubt in his eyes.

"Didn't Evan tell you everything? I thought they would tell the truth, but it turns out they still kept something," Linda assumed in response to Barnes' question. She then cast a disdainful look at Evan and his three companions.

As their eyes widened, they had a bad feeling as to what she would explain in detail.

"Evan, did you withhold some parts of the truth?" Barnes instantly turned to look at Evan and the other three, sternly raising his eyebrows.

"No, no!" Evan shook his head hard as he denied.

"Then may I ask you, Evan, why did Harley hurt your friend?" Linda interrogated him.

"It was only because Harley was so unreasonable and arrogant!" Evan was stunned for a moment but he quickly responded with a made-up excuse.

"Really? Why can't you tell Barnes that the real reason Harley hurt him is that he molested me?" Linda chuckled scornfully.

Evan was speechless with her appalling response. The warrior, who had been beaten by Zachary, was shock

ful because he had been beaten heavily by Zachary earlier.

"He won't be so lucky next time. I might have to ask help from my elder brother," Evan said complacently.

"Really? That's cool!" The warrior and the other two exchanged looks expectantly.

"Isn't Alisa also guiding Harley? Everyone in the Crane College knows that my brother has a crush on Alisa, and she likes him back. If I do something to stir up conflict, my brother will definitely go against him!" Evan said in a vengeful tone.

The other warriors also flashed a sly smile.

After returning to the Tiger Bamboo Forest, Zachary went to his private cave and entered the system to do his work. He didn't leave the system until afternoon. Later, he went to the Imperial Training Ground for Alisa's guidance. Of course, he did not mean to seek help. He just took advantage of the opportunity to get close to her. For the time being, his priority was to earn her trust. Then he would have the chance to bring her into the system and help her regain her memories.

When Zachary arrived at the Imperial Training Ground, he saw Alisa practicing with a female Imperial Level warrior. Many Imperial Level warriors watched from the surroundings, so he joined the crowd as a spectator.

Before long, Zachary noticed that the treasure beast controlled by Alisa was what hit him last time. At the time, he paid all his attention to Alisa, so he didn't notice the treasure beast that much. Now after careful observation, he discovered that her treasure beast, Coco, was a rare one.
