"Aylwin, how come you're so late?" Seeing Aylwin come back, Shalivin sat up lazily from the sofa. "Didn't you bring food?"
"Get up and get changed. We're leaving."
"So fast? We've only moved here for a week, and we've already paid a month's rent. "
"We met someone who knows us. We have to leave."
Regardless of whether Chen Zhao would call the police or not, they couldn't stay here.
Staying here would be risky. In their line of work, they couldn't take any risks.
Shalivin quickly put on her clothes and packed her things.
The sisters erased all traces of them, as if they'd never been here.
…
"Mr. Chen, it's a full moon tonight. Get ready. I'll pick you up tonight."
Pierce South had called Chen Zhao to inform him. Actually, Chen Zhao already knew where Trede's treasure was.
Winry was the one who'd set up the seal. Now that Winry had become Raymond's servant, Chen Zhao knew the seal very well.
As long as Pierce South didn't play any tricks, he should be able to get the treasure.
In the evening, Pierce South arrived.
Chen Zhao had brought all his demon servants except for Amon, who was still soaking in the water.
Seeing the large wave of pets of various sizes squeeze into his car, Pierce South was somewhat dumbfounded.
"Mr. Chen, why did you bring so many pets?"
"To make sure that you won't kill me after you find the treasure."
"But I'm worried that you'll kill me …"
The Silly Twins, Walter, and Obitos were all very powerful.
Being bitten by any one of them would cost Chen Zhao half his life.
Pierce South, on the other hand, was a weak wizard. What he regretted the most was not bringing a gun.
"Mr. Pierce, you don't have to worry. I'm just trying to protect myself. I'm not planning to kill you at all."
"But I'm still scared. What should I do?"
"Our cooperation is based on mutual trust. You should trust me."
"Can I bring a gun when I go back?"
Chen Zhao smiled coldly. Pierce South stopped talking and drove with his head covered.
In fact, Pierce trusted Chen Zhao, which was why he wanted to work with him.
Chen Zhao could distribute more than ten million dollars' worth of gold to the townsfolk, so Pierce South decided to work with him.
Of course, it was a fortune worth millions of dollars. He couldn't guarantee that Chen Zhao wouldn't be tempted by the money.
Just like how Pierce was on edge, Chen Zhao was also on guard against Pierce at all times.
After all, before this, none of them had worked together with anyone else. They were working together as complete strangers.
Trede Pemton hid his collection very deep in the mountains.
Moreover, it was the kind of place where no one went.
The car stopped in front of the mountain. Next, they would have to walk up the mountain.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you're planning to build a villa by Mirror Lake, right?"
"Yes."
"Is that why you need money so urgently now?"
"Sort of."
Although he had enough money to build a villa, a house couldn't solve all the problems in life.
To maintain a high quality of life, of course, you need more money.
"What about you? You came all the way here and need money urgently too? "Chen Zhao asked.
"I don't have enough time to deal with the trivial matters in the company, so I can only turn my attention to Trede Pemton. Phew … You have great stamina. Do all wizards in the East have such great stamina?"
"Train more." Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.
It wasn't like in novels where sorcerers had to be physically weak.
In fact, just like a top student, he could also train his body to be strong.
After the two walked for a while, Pierce South felt that he had to find a topic. "I have a wife."
"Yes. Most people only have one."
"I also have a child."
"And then?"
"So, if you want to kill me, can you consider my family and not kill me?"
"…"
The mountain path was very difficult to walk. There were even no paths.
They'd all brought some equipment before the trip.
For example, they wore hiking boots, ropes, and pickaxes.
Pierce South still had a hard time, but Chen Zhao was much more relaxed.
After all, he had good stamina. As long as he didn't go to an extremely harsh environment, it wouldn't be a problem.
"How far are we from our destination?" Chen Zhao asked.
He knew the rough location from Winry, but he hadn't been there before, so he didn't know how far it was.
Also, Winry couldn't tell him the exact coordinates in such a deep forest.
"About ten kilometers," Pierce South said. "We'll cross two more mountains."
"Can you still walk?"
"I have to. We have to get there before midnight," Pierce South said, panting. Pierce South panted. "Otherwise, we'll have to wait until the next full moon."
"Do you want me to carry you?"
Pierce was overjoyed. "Can I? Are you sure? "
"I'll carry you for one kilometer," Chen Zhao said, grinning. "I'll pick something from your collection."
Pierce South rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I can still hold on."
Chen Zhao still had a lot of stamina, but the mountain path was too hard to walk.
Sometimes, his feet would slip and he couldn't stand firmly.
The Silly Twins, Walter, and Beelzebub were much more relaxed. They jumped up and down as if they were walking on flat ground.
Even Obitos could crawl like he was flying in the forest. Occasionally, he would swing his tail and sprint 100 meters.
The two experienced many difficulties along the way. It was like they were going on a pilgrimage.
When they set off, it was past five. They'd thought that six or seven hours would be enough.
But when they entered the mountain, they realized that time was more pressing than they'd imagined.
Pierce South couldn't keep up. In the end, Chen Zhao had to carry him for the last part of the journey.
Finally, they reached their destination at 11: 30 at night. It was a cave hidden deep in the mountain.
Because the mountain was high and the road was slippery, the air was very humid, and there were few people here. The first feeling people got was uncomfortable and depressed.
The trees above also blocked the moonlight, so the cave was even darker.
Pierce South panted heavily. He sat on the ground and couldn't stand up.
"It's really here." It shouldn't be Pierce's first time here. At least, he knew the path. It didn't seem like it was his first time here.
Chen Zhao knew the rough location, but he might not be able to find it in a short time if he went through the mountains.
"You can only find this cave on a full moon," Pierce South explained.
