An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1978

"What's happening?" Grace quickly noticed Dustin's abnormal behavior.

"The Celestial Eye has detected something," Dustin replied in a lowered voice.

"Hmm?" Grace's eyes lit up and her heart was in her throat. "Could it be the Dracan essence?"

"I'm not sure." Dustin shook his head lightly.

While it was true that the Celestial Eye could sense other treasure nearby, it couldn't accurately tell what the treasure was. Hence, he couldn't be certain if the hidden object near the lake was Dracan essence.

The only thing that he was sure of was that the treasure was extraordinary as there was a huge reaction from the Celestial Eye.

"Whatever it may be, I have to go check it out myself. Later, we'll play by ear and please pay attention to even the smallest detail," Grace said seriously.

If the Dracan essence was really hidden nearby, she'd do anything to get her hands on it.

"Got it." Dustin nodded and didn't say too much. Instead, he paid extra attention to the Celestial Eye's reaction as it had never stopped. The closer they got to the lake, the stronger the vibration.

As such, it could be concluded that the treasure was hidden in the lake.

The only problem was that it was a huge lake and it was very misty on the surface. Treasure hunting in such a deep lake wasn't going to be an easy task.

"Sophia, is this what you call the treasure trove? Why does it look so normal?" Jackson looked around curiously. Other than the lake and some plants, there was nothing special around this area.

If there was anything special about the lake, it'd be the skeletal remains of some animals around the lake which were quite scary.

"Ms. Jaden, could we be at the wrong place? This is just a lake. Where is the treasure?" Garrett narrowed his eyes, looking displeased.
