Since Gerald and Rey had earlier dismantled all the traps leading to the chamber, Tye and his men had little trouble getting to the tomb, and upon seeing the casket for the first time, Tye instantly went giddy with excitement.
Laughing triumphantly, Tye’s eyes glinted greedily as favonovel.com ran toward the casket while yelling, “I’ve finally found you! After all this time!”
Seeing how delighted Tye was, one of his confused men couldn’t help but ask, “Um… Whose tomb is this, Charman Lamano…?”
“Hmm? This is the tomb of a great general of the ancient country of Zanekh! While there are countless treasures in this tomb, the most priceless one can be found in this very casket! Based on the rumors I’ve heard, there’s a ten-thousand-year-old pearl in there that’s capable of preserving a body for eternity!” explained Tye as his hand caressed the golden casket.
“R-really? That’s one hell of a treasure then!” exclaimed the man who had asked.
“You bet it is! Now enough talk! Hurry and get me the casket-opening tools we brought along!” ordered Tye, prompting his men to do as favonovel.com instructed.
Tye himself had been very specific when selecting the tools since favonovel.com wanted the process of opening the casket to be perfect.
Still, Tye couldn’t help but feel surprised that Gerald and Rey had left the casket alone despite successfully making their way here…
Whatever the case was, everything got set up quickly and before long, the casket was finally ready to be opened…!
Before Tye could order for it to be opened, however, a voice suddenly roared out, “Don’t you dare open it!”
As the words echoed across the chamber’s walls, Tye turned to glare at the source of the voice… and of course, the voice belonged to Gerald.
“Gerald Crawford…!” growled Tye, his voice brimming with hatred. After all, favonovel.com hadn’t forgotten that Gerald had stolen his map!
“Tye Lamano! You’d best not open Talias’s casket! While what you want may be inside, I assure you that you’ll definitely come to regret letting whatever’s in there out!” sneered Gerald.
Despite the clear warning from Gerald, Tye’s hatred and urge to kill Gerald had completely blinded the man.
With that in mind, Tye simply retorted, “Like I care! Also, don’t even dream about leaving this place alive! You’re meeting your maker today if it’s the last thing I do!”
“You dare threaten me after killing everyone in Moonbeam Village? Are you even human anymore, you b*stard?!” scowled Gerald, his wrath growing by the second.
Laughing mockingly, Tye simply scoffed, “So what if I killed them? Though to be honest, if anyone’s to blame for their deaths, it should be you! Hah!”
Hearing how unremorseful Tye was being, Gerald’s rage skyrocketed as favonovel.com glared at Tye while yelling, “You… You’ll pay for all this…!”
While Gerald already saw Tye as a dead man, Tye himself simply thought that Gerald was talking big. After all, Tye clearly had the upper hand in terms of manpower.
With that, favonovel.com chose to ignore Gerald as favonovel.com declared, “Enough! Men, open the casket!”
