An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1977

"A treasure trove? Where?" Everyone became excited upon hearing that.

They entered the oasis just to find treasures. However, not only did they find nothing, but many had lost their lives over it.

Thus, they felt very excited upon hearing that there was a place with treasures.

"Actually, I planned to explore the treasure trove after backup arrives." Sophia seemed reluctant.

"Sophia, time waits for no one. By the time the elite members of your sect come, there's a chance that someone has already discovered the treasure trove!" Garrett felt anxious.

They finally had a chance to obtain treasures. Thus, they naturally didn't want to miss out on it.

"That's right. We're in the same boat right now. Why don't you tell the truth so that we can look for the treasure together?

"We can split it among ourselves once we find it. Deal?" the short-haired woman added.

"I can tell you, but we have to set some ground rules. Harmony Sect is the one that found the treasure trove.

"If you find any treasure, Harmony Sect needs to have half of it. As for the other half, you guys can take it. How about that?" Sophia put forward her conditions.

The treasure trove was located at a perilous place. Even if the Harmony Sect were lucky enough to get the treasure, they would suffer from heavy losses due to their limited power.

Therefore, Sophia intentionally brought up the topic to pique their interest. That way, she could find a bunch of scapegoats to check out the place.

Naturally, it would be best if they succeeded. After all, half of the treasure was enough to make Harmony Sect thrive.

However, she wouldn't lose anything if they lost. In any way, she didn't lose out on anything.

Upon hearing that, Garrett furrowed his eyebrows. "What? You want to have half? Aren't you being too greedy?

"We have so many people, while there's only one of you. How can we split it among ourselves when you already want half?"

"That's right! That's just daylight robbery!" The short-haired woman was dissatisfied.

It was greedy that Sophia wanted half when she didn't do anything.

"Everyone, you can't put it this way. Only I know about this treasure trove.

"If it weren't for you guys, I only need to wait one or two days for the disciples from my sect to arrive. Then, I can collect all of the treasures inside.

"I'm only telling you all as you guys saved me. Thus, it's considered a generous offer that we only want half of it," Sophia said indifferently.

She made her intentions quite clear. Although she could have collected all the treasures for herself, she was being generous by letting go of half of it.

"Well…" Upon hearing that, the members of the Black Scorpion Squad exchanged glances.

Although they were discontent, they didn't know how to rebuke. After all, they still needed Sophia to lead the way if they wanted to find the treasure.

"Ms. Linsor, what do you think?" Garrett turned around and passed the question to Grace.

All in all, Grace was the leader of this team. Both Aiden and Jackson had to follow her decision.

"I only came here for one treasure, so I'm not interested in anything else. If Sophia can let me choose first, I can give the rest of the treasure to you all," Grace replied indifferently.
