"That golden orb is useless in your hands. Hand it over as a payment for our protection, and I'll guarantee your safety."Woody countered sharply, "You're wrong!""Oh? Am I wrong?" Jayden's expression grew even more disdainful. Woody said sternly, "Not only are you wrong, but you are completely mistaken!""Firstly, the golden orb has already been used, contrary to your assumption that it's useless.""Secondly, we don't need a group of trash to protect us. You are overestimating yourself. The only reason we're here is for the convenience of entering the mountain. You have absolutely nothing to do with it."Jayden's face contorted with rage, and he looked as if he was about to explode. "Kid, I dare you to repeat that!""Let's keep the peace, everyone!"Rosie quickly stepped in as the mediator, positioning herself between Woody and Jayden, she said, "It's such a rare conincidene for us to meet here with the same goal in mind. Why make things unpleasant over a few words? Wouldn't

"There's only one road into the mountain. If the explosives go off, the path will be destroyed. Even if you sprouted wings, you wouldn't be able to get through! Money, your lives, or the treasures, you pick!"Terence was furious, he shouted, "I swear, old man. If you don't back off, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"At that moment, another young man, dressed in fine clothes, mocked, "What big words from Mr. Lloyd. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were some sort of king!""There's a saying; even a strong dragon shouldn't mess with local snakes. For merely 100,000 dollars, you're causing a scene like a shrew, even trying to threaten people. Could it be that you're too poor to pay up?""And swearing like that in front of Ms. Lanister, aren't you afraid of offending her? Absolutely no sense of chivalry!"This young man was Sam Carter; Terence's old-time rival. He was also one of Rosie's many suitors. The key difference was that Sam carried himself with

Sam spoke with a lavish tone and said, "The price is negotiable. I'm not short on money. Just name your price, and I won't haggle!""That's great!" The old man's smile grew wider and wider. Sam then asked, "By the way, how many people have gone in so far? It would be disappointing if no good treasures are brought out!"The old man was intent on keeping the suspense, but the villager operating the card reader replied, "Over 300 people have already gone in!"This was crucial information. Terence felt as though he had lost once again. Sam not only thought to ask such a question but also managed to get the answer, whereas Terence hadn't even considered it. "Has anyone come out yet?""Not yet!"Walking ahead, Rosie overheard the conversation and a hint of alarm appeared on her face. She seemed to be considering turning back. If this had been before she met Woody, she would have entered the mountain without hesitation. No matter the hardship, she was determined to find the

By the pool, a uniformed individual climbed into the diving pod. After conducting various checks, he gave an 'OK' gesture to those watching from outside. The diving pod descended slowly into the water, leaving behind only a ventilation tube tied to a safety line. Taking advantage of Tyrell's attention being fully focused on the pool, Terence quietly retreated five steps. Without the immediate threat of a gun pointed at his head, the pressure on him lessened considerably. "Mr. Lloyd!" Jayden and the others immediately rushed over, forming a protective barrier around Terence. Feeling reinvigorated by their presence, Terence straightened up and raised his voice in anger. "Tyrell, what the hell do you mean by that?""We paid to enter this mountain too. Any treasures found here should be shared equally! And yet, you're trying to hog it all for yourself. Do you think that's fair?"Tyrell smirked arrogantly and said, "We're merely retrieving a herb beneath the cold pool. Once we h

"You've already guessed it, haven't you? Just as you suspect, Tomas is dead," Woody stated calmly. Tyrell's brows shot up in fury as he roared, "You're spouting nonsense! There's no way you could've killed Tomas. The mercenary team assisting him was personally recruited by me. They were a group of elites and they were armed with powerful weapons specifically designed to counter ancient martial artists. "Completing the mission should've been a walk in the park! Tell me, what underhanded trick did you use to escape with your lives? If you don't spill the truth, I'll make sure you beg for your death!"Rudolf's face darkened as he said, "Tyrell, our family and the Sparks family have been allies for many years. To this day, we still hold shares in Herbal Essences. As an elder, I believe I've done nothing wrong to your family, let alone going against you and your brother. Yet, you seek to kill both Penny and I. Don't you think you've gone too far?"Tyrell's expression twisted into a sn
