At this moment, both keys were in their hands.
Anders couldn't help but be eager to open Master Flame's tomb. However, before that, he glanced at both the Cohen family and the Mountshifters and spoke in a deep voice, "Before we open the tomb, there are some things that need to be said so that we don't ruin our relationship!"
Upon hearing this, members of the Cohen family and Mountshifters nodded indifferently, looking at Anders without much expression.
Before obtaining the keys, the three parties were allies. The Cohen family and Mountshifters were the "helpers" of the Ward family in Iylonio. But now that they had all the keys, they had become competitors in the pursuit and division of interests. Now, they were all on guard against each other...
"In the tomb of Master Flame, if there really are treasures, we should divide them according to the previously agreed-upon proportions. This underground treasure was left to us by Master Flame, so we take the majority share, fifty percent. The friends from the Mountshifters are skilled in excavation. We will rely on you a lot, so you get thirty percent. And the Cohen family, you get twenty percent. Any objections, everyone?"
Anders asked in a deep voice.
After the words fell...
"Alright! We had already agreed on this, Anders, don't worry! We're all old friends, and no one would take advantage of others," the robust elder from the Mountshifters said loudly.
The middle-aged man from the Cohen family and the young young Brayden Cohen both had displeased expressions, but they nodded as well.
Once everything was settled, the people from the three parties headed towards the vast backyard of the Ward Residence. Master Flame had somehow decided to bury his tomb in this mansion.
After a while...
Following a passageway leading underground, they arrived at the stone door of the tomb.
Anders held the two ancient keys in his hands and inserted them into the two keyholes on the stone door.
Boom...
Accompanied by a strong tremor, the stone door moved aside, and the tomb was instantly opened.
Hoo...
At this moment, a cold and heavily decayed gust of wind blew towards them.
"Mr. Segal, Gonzo, you're professionals at this. Shall we go in first with your people?" Anders turned to the Mountshifters, smiling as he asked.
The robust elder nodded and took out a candle. After lighting it and confirming that nothing unusual happened after a while, Harrison Segal called out to the seductive woman and led the members of the Mountshifters, a group of "experts," into the tomb.
Anders gestured to Joseph and the other four Grandmaster-level experts from his family, and the five of them followed suit.
The middle-aged man and Brayden from the Cohen family followed closely behind.
However, compared to the Mountshifters, the people from the Ward family and the Cohen family were more cautious.
They couldn't just wait outside while the Mountshifters thoroughly investigated the tomb. What if there were treasures inside, and the Mountshifters secretly hid them?
Inside the tomb, Harrison and Gonzo from the Mountshifters held torches as they walked through an underground corridor. Suddenly, the space in front of them expanded.
Everyone observed their surroundings with great caution. They saw a stone door ahead, with small chambers on either side.
