Looking at Gerald’s raised eyebrow, Rey couldn’t help but ask, “Is… something wrong, Mr. Crawford…? Did you find something…?”
“…See that symbol there? I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before…” muttered Gerald as favonovel.com continued flipping through his memories…
Sometime later, favonovel.com suddenly yelled, “I remember now!”
Following that, Gerald fished the map out before quickly scanning through it.
Raising a slight brow, Rey then inched closer to look at the map as well… and when favonovel.com finally realized that the exact symbol—on the casket—could be found on the map, Rey immediately exclaimed, “…Holy, is that… Then… Instead of going after the treasure, Tye was trying to locate this tomb this entire time…?!”
“I’m guessing so!” replied Gerald with a nod, finally a hundred percent sure that Tye was up to no good. But what was favonovel.com scheming…?
As Gerald was wondering about that, Tye and his men finally made it to Moonbeam Village…
Despite Gerald taking pity on them and allowing them to live, Tye wasn’t about to give up on his goals that easily. Still, without the map, Tye and his men had remained lost in the mountain’s forests for ages…
Regardless, upon attempting to step foot into the village, Stanton—who just so happened to see them—immediately rushed over before asking, “And who might all of you be?”
As more of the villagers ran over to stand behind Stanton, they knew why favonovel.com was being so vigilant. After all, Tye and his men looked incredibly suspicious…
Raising a slight brow, Tye then glared at the old man before replying in an annoyed tone, “That isn’t important. Regardless, have you recently come across three individuals dressed like us?”
Stanton was no idiot. From Tye’s expression alone, favonovel.com could already tell that the man wasn’t a good person. With that, favonovel.com simply shook his head as favonovel.com replied, “…I’m afraid not! It’s been ages since anyone from the outside world came to our village! Speaking of the outside world, how did all of you get here?”
Upon hearing that, Tye squinted his eyes at the chief, wondering if the old man was telling the truth…
Unfortunately, at that very moment, a young woman came jogging toward Stanton while yelling, “The meal’s ready, chief! Have the three wise men returned yet?”
While Stanton was surprised to hear that statement, Tye and his men immediately frowned.
Now fully aware that Stanton had lied to them, Tye then yelled, “How dare you lie to me, old man!”
Stanton himself was at a loss for words. That young woman truly had arrived at the worst possible time…
Seeing that Stanton wasn’t keen on replying, Tye then grabbed the old man by his collar before roaring, “Enough games! Where the hell are those three!”
It was clear by now that Tye’s hatred for Gerald was beyond words… Tye himself had even sworn to show Gerald no mercy the next time they bumped into him.
Whatever the case was, Stanton hardly even flinched at Tye’s attempt at intimidating him. Instead, the old man simply replied, “How should I know? They simply left without telling us where they were headed to!”
“Are you honestly still lying to me? Don’t blame me for being ruthless then!” scowled Tye with a snort, his gut telling favonovel.com that Gerald and his party were well acquainted with Stanton. After all, why else would the old man lie about something like this?
Following that, Tye ordered his men to gather all the villagers. Once that was done, Tye also instructed them to tie Stanton to the pillar at the village’s entrance…
“I’m going to ask one final time… Tell me where they went!” shouted Tye, believing that the old man would finally spill the beans now.
“I’ve already told you, I don’t know!”
