Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Zachary still had several days left before he could enter the Beast Tamer Space and, for the most part, since he had already grasped the Beast Merging Skill, he gave his full energy on studying the genes of treasure beasts.

Before he even realized it, three days went by so fast. Zachary had remained in the system for that duration. It suddenly occurred to him how captivated Alisa seemed in his spiritual beast, who now got an official name; the Purple-winged Beast. So he plotted to use the beast to get in touch with her again, to look into her lifesaver.

After leaving the system and exiting the cave, Zachary went straight to Crane College.

However, as soon as he arrived at Crane College, he noticed a large group of disciples clustered together and moving forward in one direction as if they were going to do something fun.

"Hey, is the news circulating true? Is this the day that Nathan will propose to Alisa? That is amazing!"

"That's right. Some delegates from the Kong Clan sent several carts loaded with wedding presents for the planned proposal this early morning. Nathan has already scheduled a rendezvous with Alisa at the Jade Hall. He is planning to propose in the presence of some dignitaries from the college."

"I have found out that the Kong Clan's leader himself has requested the vice dean to act as the matchmaker!"

"I've learned that Nathan has a major crush on Alisa, but I never expected it to be true!"

"But theirs is a match made in heaven. The guy is one of the most brilliant and promising Sage Level warriors in the entire Crane College. Simultaneously, she is a beautiful female Imperial Level warrior who is most anticipated to break through and reach the Sage Level in a few years. They surely fit perfectly together!"

Zachary overheard the conversations among several disciples as they passed by him in a rush.

"What? A marriage proposal? Well, he is from the Kong Clan, after all." Zachary frowned after hearing those remarks. He hadn't anticipated for this random guy named Nathan to extend a proposal to Alisa. It all came as a shock to him. However, he wouldn't just wait around and do nothing while his future wife was about to get engaged to another man!

Zachary used the Shadow Pace and took off in an instant.

In the northeast corner of the Crane College, the s

eryone's wildest imagination. Under the crowd's watchful eyes, the purple figure unexpectedly tipped Alisa's chin with his hand and gave her a passionate kiss.

Afterward, the whole place was in complete silence, as if no one had predicted this to happen. How could someone muster up the courage to step forward and harass Alisa while Nathan was proposing to her? This figure was taking a big gamble with his life at stake.

Alisa appeared stunned for a moment after receiving the kiss. She couldn't even react, and when she subconsciously opened her eyes wide, a pair of evil eyes looked back at her. Her instincts told her to push this guy away, but she abruptly felt a strong sense of familiarity, and some vague scenes came to her mind. Some parts were similar to what was happening to her now. She couldn't deny the deep attraction she felt.

"Wait a minute. This guy looks so familiar. Could it possibly be him? It is him indeed! This bastard dared to kiss Alisa in broad daylight. Is he courting death? And why didn't Alisa stop him from doing it?" Among the multitude of people who witnessed the scene, only Linda recognized the purple figure who had shown up. She opened her eyes wide and glowered at the man in exasperation.

The bastard, as Linda referred to, was none other than Zachary, who had come right away as soon as he heard what Nathan was planning to do.

However, Zachary's idea of appearing was too conspicuous. He kissed Alisa in public, which put Nathan in an awkward position. As anticipated, Zachary did this on purpose.
