“Got the treasure!”
“Great! What took you so long? We were really worried.” “What a big stone chest!”
Many people commented as they looked at the stone chest curiously.
Eira was observant. She noticed Ambrose’s pale face, so she asked, “Brother, did something happen?”
Suddenly, Hacken and the others turned around and focused on Ambrose.
Ambrose took a deep breath and said, “We met Donoghue, that scum.” Then, he narrated the incident in detail.
‘What?’
Eira was startled to hear that.
‘Donoghue is too cunning. So, he had been hiding at the bottom of the sea? He even used the giant shark to cover his whereabouts. It will be troublesome if he is kept alive.’
Watson, who was next to him, furrowed his brows. His eyes gleamed with a strange luster.
Watson did not say anything. He merely stood quietly at the side.
Suddenly, Eira teased Heather. “Wow, you guys managed to beat the villain Donoghue. I wonder if you two are a match made in heaven?” Then, she giggled.
Even though Heather lacked life experience, she was astute. She knew the implied meanings in Eira’s words, and she immediately blushed. She looked unspeakably charming.
Ambrose also blushed in embarrassment.
Ambrose thought of something and asked Hacken, “Head Clan, I’ve retrieved the treasure. Please open the stone chest and take the treasure to help us repel the Raksasa Army.”
The Chaotic Mountain Range was in distress, and the situation was gloomy. Ambrose had decided to return to the mainland and helped to repel their enemies.
He would have to hunt Donoghue some other time in the future.
“This—” Hacken pondered it and said, “Back then, when Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan gave us the treasure, he only told us that it would protect us, but he didn’t give us the right to use it. So, my people have never opened the chest to explore what is inside.”
‘What?’
Ambrose was stunned.
The Sea Mackie Clan had guarded the treasure for thousands of years, yet they had no idea what was inside, and they did not know how to open the chest. What good could come out of that?
Just as Ambrose felt depressed, Hacken smiled and continued to say, “However, Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan was a resourceful strategist. He must have put the key to open the treasure chest somewhere in the nine continents. He was just being cautious to prevent someone from stealing the treasure.”
Mmm!
Ambrose nodded. It made absolute sense to separate the chest and the key so that it would be useless even if someone were to get it.
“Alright.”
