"Why are you looking at me?" Lucas found it odd.
"I've seen your recent updates. You have a good relationship with Zhou Wen, right?" Henry said.
"So what?" Lucas frowned slightly.
"It's very simple. Hold this first." Henry handed a bottle to Henry.
When Lucas took the bottle from Henry, he felt his fingers itch. He raised his hand and saw a red dot on his finger, as though he had been bitten by a bug.
Lucas thought nothing of it as he held the bottle and asked, "What's this?"
"It's filled with water. All you need to do is pour the water in the bottle into the water Zhou Wen is drinking and let him drink it," Henry said. "Then, I can help you open the door to the palace for free."
"Impossible. I won't help you do those dirty things." Lucas placed the bottle heavily on the table and turned to Irjarr. "Lord Irjarr, there's no need for their help. I've already found Zhou Wen and company to go to the palace with me. I guarantee that I can open the door to the palace."
Irjarr was somewhat hesitant as Lucas continued, "Lord, please believe me. I'll definitely be able to open the door to the palace and help you capture that thief."
Irjarr looked at Lucas before looking at Henry. Finally, he said to Henry, "Your Excellency, if you're willing to help, my previous promises are still valid."
Henry sat on the sofa and didn't answer Irjarr. He picked up the bottle of water that Lucas had placed on the table and said to Lucas, "I believe you will agree, right?"
"Of course not. Who do you think the Great Lucas is?" Lucas said angrily.
"Is that so?" Henry looked at Lucas, but the look in his eyes became increasingly odd. Something seemed to be shaking in his eyes as his pupils became very strange. It was as though there was a mosquito or bug trapped in a glass ball.
"Ah!" Lucas immediately felt as though countless bugs were gnawing at his bones. The pain made his face turn pale as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Despicable … fellow … You … What did you do to me …" Lucas nearly fainted from the pain as he glared at Henry.
"Henry, how dare you attack my people in my territory?" Irjarr's face turned cold as he stared at Henry.
However, Henry had an indifferent expression. He placed the bottle in front of Lucas and said indifferently, "Do as I say. Otherwise, you won't die. However, this pain will continue until you die. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to try and see if they can relieve your pain."
After that, Henry got up and bowed slightly to Irjarr. "Dear Mr. Irjarr, I believe I will be able to serve you soon. I look forward to our next meeting."
"If I were you, I would immediately relieve Lucas of the pain." Irjarr waved his hand and immediately, a few Epic experts surrounded him.
"Mr. Irjarr, I hope you can consider it carefully. Zhou Wen is an enemy of our Cape family. Do you want to be enemies with our Cape family as well?" With that said, Henry strode away, ignoring the Epic experts.
Irjarr gritted his teeth and didn't give the order to attack Henry.
"Lucas, you know how powerful the Cape family is. They are the uncrowned kings of the West District. We still don't have the ability to fight them. You …" After Henry left, Irjarr said helplessly to Lucas as he looked at the small bottle of water.
Lucas wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and reached out to grab the small bottle.
Zhou Wen and An Sheng waited for Lucas's news in the hotel. Before long, Lucas rushed back.
"Lucas, how did the negotiation go?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I've been rushing all the way back. I'm dying of thirst. Let me drink some water first." As Lucas spoke, he sat on the sofa in the living room. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of water. After finishing it in one gulp, he filled it up for himself and poured a cup for Zhou Wen and An Sheng.
"I didn't manage to negotiate with the Pluto Hall pass," Lucas said as he held his teacup.
"Is the Pluto Hall pass that precious? Can't outsiders even take a look? "Zhou Wen said in surprise.
"Although I didn't manage to negotiate the Pluto Hall pass, I've already discussed it with Lord Irjarr. You can leave the Peninsula of Gods in advance. Pack up and follow me to the airport later," Lucas said.
"Thank you so much, Lucas. However, we still want to stay here for a period of time. We have no intention of leaving for the time being," Zhou Wen said as he drank a mouthful of water.
Seeing Zhou Wen drink the water, Lucas heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Since you don't plan on leaving, can you consider it again? Come with me to open the door to the palace. The bounty I mentioned previously will be yours. I don't want anything. Just treat it as helping me."
"Alright, let's do as we agreed. The Companion Eggs will be split equally. The passes will be ours." Zhou Wen nodded. Since he couldn't obtain the Pluto Hall pass, he could accept a few Pluto Hall Companion Eggs and passes to the other temples.
Of course, Zhou Wen's main goal was to hope that Irjarr and company could find the thief. Otherwise, they wouldn't have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
"Haha, I knew it. Lucas's friends are all good friends." Lucas wrapped his muscular arm around Zhou Wen's neck and laughed loudly.
Lucas quickly led Zhou Wen and An Sheng to the Curse Demon Palace. It had already been sealed by Irjarr's men. Without his orders, no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Lucas was naturally an exception. After showing his identification, he brought Zhou Wen and An Sheng into the Curse Demon Palace.
Because many people had rushed into the Curse Demon Palace to search for traces of the Thief, most of the Stone Statue Creatures in front of them had already been cleared.
Zhou Wen and company didn't encounter any dimensional creatures when they were about to approach the palace's entrance.
"The palace's entrance is up ahead. Wear this. Otherwise, even if you accidentally see the girl's eyes on the door, you will be petrified." Lucas took out three pairs of eye masks and gave two to Zhou Wen and An Sheng. He wore one himself.
Zhou Wen and An Sheng put on their eye masks before continuing forward.
Zhou Wen had Truth Listener's ability, so it wasn't a problem even if he couldn't see. An Sheng was about the same. Wearing the eye mask didn't seem like he was wearing it. He was rather agile.
Only Lucas seemed to become a little clumsy after wearing the eye mask. His steps became a little sluggish.
Zhou Wen didn't rush him. He slowly walked to the palace's entrance and pretended to fumble around the door a few times. At the same time, he pressed the girl's eyes with both hands.
The palace door automatically slid open and the door immediately opened.
"It's open. You can take off the eye mask," Zhou Wen said.
Lucas took off the eye mask and indeed, he realized that the stone door was gone. He was immediately overjoyed. He took out his phone and stood in front of the door to take a photo with Zhou Wen and company before uploading it online.
"The Great Lucas and his friends have opened the mysterious and terrifying palace door together."
