The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 5238

'Heh…'

Seeing Lindsey's facial expression, Adam grinned and said, "As I said, I had a friendship with your father. Of course, I'd know about that."

As he spoke, he felt rather emotional deep down.

'Haha… What a silly girl. Looks like I was right. She's still unaware that a thousand years have passed.'

"That's great."

As Lindsey was silently excited, she had also completely let her guard down. She looked at Adam excitedly and asked imperatively, "Do you know where my father is?"

Lindsey meant well, and she did not know that she had fallen into Adam's trap.

Seeing Lindsey looking desperate, Adam did not answer him immediately. Instead, he exhaled lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I have no idea where your father is, but before the Heavenly Secret Palace was wiped out, I met your father once, and he told me about a place and told me to bring you there."

To gain Lindsey's trust, Adam started talking nonsense. Hearing that, Lindsey was even more convinced.

'The underground city is rather hidden. Aside from the people of the Heavenly Secret Palace, outsiders can't come here. The fact that Adam found this place proves that he's dad's friend.'

The conversation between Adam and Lindsey was not loud, but the elites from each sect could hear them clearly.

'This…'

At that moment, everyone was impressed that Adam could frighten Lindsey with just a few words.

'The Alliance Master is really something. He has won the girl's trust with just a few words. That's so impressive. I'm sure we don't need to torture her. We'd get a chance to ask her where the treasures are.'

At the same time, Darryl glared at Adam, and he could not help but inhale deeply.

'This man is so cunning. It's so scary! He gained Lindsey's trust with just a few words. I can't imagine what would happen if he had found the treasures hidden here.'

In fact, Darryl was not bothered by Adam's character. Instead, he was worried for Lindsey.

"Before we head out, we need to bring some things here with us."

'Things?' Lindsey was startled.

Before Lindsey could ask, Adam continued to say solemnly, "I mean the things that the Heavenly Secret Palace left here. When your father brought you here, he must've told you that he hid many things here and that they're important to the Heavenly Secret Palace, right?"

What Adam said was solely based on his assumptions.

'There are countless treasures here. Since Joses built the underground city here, he must've hidden something here. Plus, he would certainly tell his daughter.'

It had shown that Adam had guessed correctly.

Seeing Adam looking sincere, Lindsey nodded and said, "My father did hide something."

She had been completely blindsided by Adam's fake sincerity, and she did not realize that she had fallen into his trap.
