Underneath the surface, Henry and Gardiner stood in the tiny room on the other side of the gate, confused.
They had no idea of how a man could disappear in the thin air. This made them flustered.
Time passing by, they still had no clue.
"I give up," Gardiner's patience ran out, "Let's just leave it here. It doesn't matter to us if we figure it out or not. If the reason is going to be important, the answer will come to us sooner or later. Let's focus on getting out of here."
Gardiner then walked out of the room.
Henry shook his head and walked out with him.
They came out of the doorway of Heaven and looked up. Their overhead had been blocked by the ruins.
"Come on. There's a bigger project waiting for us," Gardiner lit a cigarette and said, "I'm in a managing position. I shouldn't be out there for the field job."
"A good leader should always learn to get their hands dirty," Henry rolled his eyes.
"Psst," Gardiner pouted. Although he kept complaining, he never slowed down.
Henry and Gardiner cultivated Qi, and two gigantic hands appeared. They started to move the rocks.
Ten hours had passed.
When they finally dug themselves out from the underground, it was already dusk.
In fact, while they were digging from underneath, there were numerous heavy-duty machines sent by the emperor of Antiquity Country also digging from above the ground.
Seeing Henry crawled out in one piece, the emperor of Antiquity Country let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't know that Radiant Island had ceased to exist, nor did he know about his daughter, Princess Anna. He only knew that if something happened to the King of Hell in his territory, he would never have one day of peace.
Henry and Gardiner did not stay in Antiquity Country for long. After Gardiner failed to contact the rest of Section Nine people, he realized that all the people who came with him had betrayed him.
On their flight back, Gardiner looked depressed.
"What kind of brainwash technics did Noble Berserkers gave to my people? Why did they all turn?" "You ask me?" Henry glanced at Gardiner.
Gardiner suddenly realized something, "I'm so sorry. They also turned your Cesia and Ailsa. They are really good at stealing people."
Henry said grumpily, "Are you trying to feel good about yourself by humiliating me? No liquor for you anymore."
"Buddy, I'm sorry," Gardiner said cheekily.
Although Henry was exhausted, he didn't sleep a wink for the rest of his flight. Henry lied in his luxurious airplane bed, wide awake and worried. He didn't solve anything on the trip to Antiquity Country. On the contrary, he added one more worry to his list. Sylvia had woken the power of her blood.
As for what that meant, Henry still had no idea. Up to then, he only knew that anything associated with it turned out to be a terror.
Henry asked Gardiner about what it meant by waking the blood power, but Gardiner knew no more than Henry did.
In contrast to Henry, Gardiner was very lighted hearted during his whole trip. He just briefly mentioned being betrayed by his people, then he spent the whole trip drinking and chatting up the female flight attendants. He promised them to take them for a ride in his new Rolls-Royce.
Just like that, Henry and Gardiner were flying back
to Yinzhou.
