An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1979

No one knew that the lake would be filled with water again when morning came and the palatial building was completely hidden beneath.

Sophia didn't dive into the lake as she couldn't determine what was in the water.

"Are you sure that there is treasure hidden at the bottom of the lake?" Aidan asked again.

"It's true! I swear!" Sophia appeared very certain.

"Alright, we'll wait here then. We'll see what is really at the bottom of the lake tonight." Aidan nodded.

"Mr. Ridge, why do we have to wait till nightfall? Isn't it better to just explore the lake now?" Garrett suggested.

Everyone knew that the monsters were most active at night. It might appear quiet and peaceful now, however, there might be many different monsters appearing by the lake at night. It'd be dangerous then.

"The lake is deep and we can't see the bottom. If you go in now, you can't even see where you're going. How are you going to search for the treasure?" Aidan commented casually.

"Mr. Ridge, to be honest, my team members are very experienced and skilled. They are especially skilled divers. Why don't we check out what's below first?" Garrett sounded quite proud.

The members of the Black Scorpion Squad might not be the best in terms of combat skills, but they were all professionals in survival skills.

If not, Grace would not have hired them with a handsome sum to lead this expedition.

"Oh, really?"

Aidan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a laugh, "If your team members could find out where the treasure is located, I can guarantee that you'll get more than your fair share of the treasure!"
