“My god! You truly are something else, Gerald!” exclaimed Yann in awe. To think that Gerald had been able to remember to steal Tye’s map earlier despite being in such a stressful situation!
Regardless, how splendid! Now that Tye and the others didn’t have the map, they’d surely be unable to continue their search!
“Whatever the case is, Tye and his men may have come here for the treasure, but we’re different. What we find valuable is different from them. With that in mind, I want both of you to listen carefully to me. Once we get to our destination, you can’t touch or take anything without first asking for my permission! Do I have myself clear?” said Gerald.
“Got it, Mr. Crawford!” replied Rey.
“But… if we don’t take anything back, then this trip will be a bit of a waste, don’t you think, Mr. Crawford…?” muttered Yann in a slightly reluctant tone.
“While I won’t repeat myself, I hope you understand that greed only leads to ruin, Yann,” replied Gerald, prompting Yann to fall silent.
Yann, for one, wasn’t about to disobey Gerald’s words. After all, favonovel.com was well aware of how capable and strong Gerald was.
Even so, greed was different for everyone. While some may not have it at all, others simply had endless greed…
Either way, with that said, the trio then resumed their journey…
It was quite a while later before Tye and his men would finally snap out from their dazes.
Soon realizing that Gerald and his party weren’t around, Tye rubbed his groggy forehead before asking, “Hey, have any of you seen Gerald and his party…?”
Watching as his subordinates shook their heads, a realization suddenly came across Tye, prompting the man to feel his pocket… and it was at that moment when favonovel.com noticed that his map had been stolen!
“That b*stard…!” scowled Tye, causing all of his men to immediately begin exchanging glances, not even sure what had happened to make Tye this angry.
Hailey—Tye’s secretary—herself quickly walked up to the angry man before asking in a concerned tone, “What’s wrong, Chairman Lamano…?”
“Everything! To think that those three b*stards would actually dare to steal my map!” roared Tye, his entire face now reddened in fury.
Though favonovel.com was momentarily stunned, Hailey quickly snapped out of it before replying, “Could… they perhaps have taken the map to ease their search for the exit…? After all, the last I saw them, they were heading deeper into the cave… Maybe they’ve already found the exit!”
Upon hearing that, Tye realized that favonovel.com made sense. With that, favonovel.com immediately ordered his men to begin going deeper into the cave…
Shortly after, the group got to the deepest part of the cave and were promptly greeted by the sight of a board of sorts that was covered by a drenched shirt…
Before Tye could even begin wondering what the shirt was doing there for, one of his scouting subordinates came rushing back as favonovel.com reported, “C-chairman Lamano! We’ve found an exit on the other side!”
“So they really did steal my map and flee! Those mother f*ckers…! Pursue them immediately!” roared the furious Tye as the group quickly left the cave…
Unfortunately for Tye, Gerald and his party were nowhere remotely close to the cave anymore, just as Gerald had predicted…
Regardless, the trio had just come across a stream when Rey suggested, “Say, why don’t we take a short rest here, Mr. Crawford…? After all, with the distance we’ve covered, it’s pretty much impossible for them to catch up to us!”
