Shadows Reveal Hidden Light — Wayne Sanders novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 A Heavy Accusation

Joanna left the dungeon with Nighthowl.

They returned with a full haul.

Meanwhile, inside the dungeon where Lucas was…

After two and a half hours of fighting, the five of them were exhausted.

Even though they had high-level talents and powerful moves, they used up a lot of energy. In just two hours, all the potions they brought were gone, and they had only cleared the entrance of the castle.

That meant only 25 castle phantoms were cleared.

Aside from the XP, nothing dropped at all.

Bruce’s palms were covered in cold sweat and his body was shaking.

He had to lure every single phantom over. If even one extra phantom followed, the whole team might die.

Often, luring one monster required two or three minutes of waiting time.

The pressure was almost too much for him to handle.

“How about we stop here for today and continue next week?” Lucas said.

Rhoda nodded.

They weren’t prepared enough. The boys were careless. They had probably truly forgotten and all the potions were with Joanna, so their performance this time

was far from ideal.

However, these people were indeed very strong. If it had been her previous all-female team, it would take five minutes just to kill one monster, and clearing a Level-10 dungeon would be almost impossible.

But this team only needed a minute or two to kill a monster.

What she didn’t know was that if Joanna were there, their progress would be much further along.

“Then let’s leave!” Rhoda said.

As soon as she spoke, the others sighed in relief.

They retreated to the entrance. Any items found in the dungeon, like the oil inside the lamps, would only become real after the dungeon was fully cleared. Otherwise, they were just items that couldn’t be taken out.

Besides, they weren’t good at managing such things anyway, so it didn’t feel it was a loss.

In their eyes, as long as they leveled up and fought hard, they would eventually join the top teams in the Space Alliance.

Management?

Making money?

They didn’t care about that.

Even Rhoda, the strongest member of her previous team, was never bothered with such trivial work.

The group exited the dungeon.

At that exact moment, Joanna also stepped out.

“She’s so pretty, but her words are so mean.”

“Just look at her. A beautiful but venomous woman who ran off with all the team’s supplies and funding.”

“Exactly. Isn’t that sabotaging the team?”

Joanna heard them. She wasn’t going to let herself be framed. She looked sharply at Lucas.

“Lucas, the school gives a 300,000 allowance every month. The money was sent out last month. It’s the end of the month now and I haven’t received a single cent that was meant for purchasing Desolate Castle potions.”

Lucas felt embarrassed. He said in a deep voice, “But I give you 50,000 every month for daily operations. Since you prepared the strategy guide, you should have prepared the potions too.”

A cold smile appeared on Joanna’s face. Her eyes were filled with more coldness and disdain than ever before.
