Swoosh…
Kate was one step later, but she also saw the empty wooden box.
At that moment, the grandfather and granddaughter’s faces turned ashen.
The treasure map was immensely important and was the most heavily guarded treasure of theMedicine Sect.
Now, it had been stolen!
“Find it!” Wade spoke through gritted teeth, his tone extremely cold. “Use all our resources toinvestigate immediately. I want to know who dares to steal the treasure map of the Medicine Sect!”
“Yes, sir!”
The guard–in–charge immediately went to carry out the order.
After giving the instructions, Wade’s expression remained unchanged for a long time. He did not say aword and led Kate back toward the main hall.
“Grandpa…” Kate’s bright eyes flickered. “Someone who could secretly steal the treasure map underthe noses of so many guards must possess extremely high skills and be very familiar with the ins andouts of the Medicine Sect.”
Wade nodded slightly, indicating for her to continue.
“Moreover, this person chose to act at this crucial moment. It makes me wonder…”
Kate’s words made Wade raise his brows. That made sense.
Wade narrowed his eyes and said, “You mean…”
“Grandpa, I suspect that someone is deliberately setting up a situation and using the Medicine Sect’streasure map as bait to get us involved.”
Kate’s tone was confident as if she had seen through everything.
Wade was shocked, but after careful consideration, Kate’s suggestion was very possible.
Wade’s eyes flickered for a moment as he looked at Kate again. “Kate, based on your speculation, whodo you think is behind this scheme?”
“We have too little information now for me to tell.” Kate shook her head and said, “However, Andriusobtained the bodies of the Kleins through the Grand Medicinal Competition, and there’s a good chancethat he has already obtained most of the map from there
“The map of our Medicine Sect is the missing core part. By combining the two, a relatively completetreasure map can be obtained.
“However, he has fallen into the hands of the Swallows.
“As long as the Swallows aren’t foolish, they’ll surely interrogate him immediately to obtain the part ofthe treasure map from him.
“We don’t know if they’ll succeed, but in the current situation, the Swallows benefit the most
from stealing the Medicine Sect’s treasure map!”
Kate’s analysis was reasonable and factual.
Wade nodded in agreement. “That makes sense, Kate.”
He pondered for a moment and instructed, “Issue my order. No one is to leak the news of the stolentreasure map. Violators will be charged with treason!
“The person who stole the treasure map will surely take further action. We’ll wait and see who isplotting behind this!”
After saying that, a cold glint flashed on Wade’s face.
Although the Medicine Sect stayed out of worldly affairs, they were not to be trifled with.
In a secret chamber in Kiyoto, Luna was pacing anxiously.
Not long after that, an elderly figure walked into the secret chamber. It was none other than OldHagstorm. Luna hurriedly went up to him.
“Master, you said that Andrius has been captured by the Swallows?”
“That’s right.”
Luna was even more anxious and gritted her teeth. “No, I have to go save him!”
“You can’t!” Old Hagstorm stopped Luna and shook his head. “The Swallows lead the four
great families and have grown much stronger over the years. Their power is far beyond yourimagination.
“Even if you mobilized the entire Dragon Manor, it might not be enough to challenge the Swallows.Openly trying to save Andrius is useless. In fact, it might even backfire.”
Hearing this, Luna felt like she had returned to the past when she was useless. She was at the point oftears.
“Then, what should we do? I can’t just watch Andrius fall into their hands.”
Old Hagstorm was much calmer than Luna. He explained, “Don’t worry. Andrius is still useful to theSwallows, so they won’t harm him for now.”
Nevertheless, how could Luna calm down?novelbin
Old Hagstorm’s gaze was distant as he said in a low voice, “The voice now is to unite the Sheppards,the Fullers, and the Anders to pressure the Swallows.
“The four great families seem united, but they each have their own agenda. No one wants to see onefamily dominate, and no one wants one party to take the entire treasure map of the Kleins
“Thus, we can use these three families now”
Ever since becoming the Dragon Manor Lord, Luna had learned a lot about Andrius and the Kleinfamily. She also discovered many secrets.
After hearing Old Hagstorm’s words, her expression improved slightly, and she turned to ask, “How dowe pressure the Swallows?”
Old Hagstorm took out a mask and put it on Luna personally. “From now on, you’re the granddaughterof the Medicine Sect Master, Kate Klein!”
Kate Klein of the Medicine Sect!
Luna did not know what Old Hagstorm was planning.
