With that said, Gerald then began to look at The Eight Diagram more closely. After thinking for a while, he finally exclaimed,
"I think I understand now! The Eight Diagrams are not a mechanism at all! From what I've gathered, it's a clue that will lead us to the mechanism!"
Before the other two could even answer, Gerald was already looking for a mechanism according to the position of the elements in The Eight Diagram.
"The left and right sides represent water, while the front and back represent fire."
Gerald muttered as he kept his eyes on the mechanism and finally, he found it. Fortunately, Gerald had little knowledge of Feng Shui. Otherwise, they would never be able to find him!
Still, Gerald knew he was also very lucky because the riddle to open his entrance was this simple.
After all, now that the mechanism was in sight, Gerald quickly turned it around. And a short while after he did, the huge stone wall started shaking violently.!
Before long, the wall split in the middle, and opened like two large doors.
Gazing with wide eyes into the dark passage before them, for a moment, all the three of them could do was exchange glances with each other.
Yann was the first to break the silence as she excitedly exclaimed,
"You did it, Gerald."
While this is definitely something to celebrate, the three know that their journey is far from over. With that, they immediately began to enter the cave.
However, as soon as they entered, the cavern's huge door instantly began to close again. As Gerald guessed, leaving would definitely be much harder than entering.
Still, they knew they had to face the rough with the smooth, so the three only gritted their teeth as they continued further into the cave.
As the day darkens, Rey pulls out a few flashlights from her backpack before handing them to Gerald and Yann.
To be honest, this place was a nightmare for anyone who was afraid of being alone in the dark. Thankfully, the three of them together and with the three rays of light illuminating their path, they were able to step forward more comfortably and safely.
About three hundred feet later, the three finally arrived at the end of the passageway, only to find it blocked by another stone wall!
On the one hand, this is the perfect embodiment of the saying,
'Get out of the frying pan and into the fire.'
"Damn it, another wall .?"
Rey muttered as she turned to look at Gerald.
Gerald himself only stared at the wall for a moment before gently putting his hand on it. And as soon as he did, the entire wall started to shake!
Soon, the stone wall slowly slid to the side... Reveal an astonishing amount of treasure!
Glittering gold coins seemed to be everywhere, some even piled up so high that they resembled mountains.!
As if the scene was not yet grand enough, the candles inside even started to light up by themselves!
"Holy cr*p!"
Rey and Yann exclaimed simultaneously, completely amazed by everything they saw.
"There are so many gold coins.! We're rich! We are rich!"
Yann shouted excitedly as she dashed into the room! While Gerald wanted to stop him, his attention was suddenly sidetracked by something else.
Chapters 1909.
As he predicted, it was really here! Now that it was so close to him, there was no way he could resist getting it!
With that, Gerald paid little attention to what Rey and Yann were doing and simply walked towards the treasure chest.
Watching the seemingly endless number of gold coins slide down from the mountain of treasure that Gerald was slowly climbing up, Yann inevitably became more excited.
Taking off his backpack, he immediately started filling it with piles of treasure! After all, he had never seen this many gold coins in one place before, so he could not help himself.
While Rey-who stood beside-is equally excited to see all that gold, she knows better than to do what Yann is doing.
After all, Gerald had told him not to touch anything carelessly, and he would not break his orders.
After all, Gerald had finally made it to the top of the coin mountain at that moment.
As he opened the treasure chest, he was greeted by a crystal-clear view, an emerald green jade pendant shaped like a butterfly. There goes. He finally found it!
Gerald was the only one who knew what the pendant was used for, so he wasn't too worried about Yann's desire to take it.
Still, it was better to be safe than sorry, so Gerald quickly hid it in his clothes. No one could tell that he had obtained the item.
Whatever the case, now that he had obtained the pendant, he slid down the mountain of gold coins, fully prepared to leave as he exclaimed, saying,
"Well, we've found what we're looking for, now let's go back!"
"What's? Are you seriously telling me that you want to just walk away?" Reply Yan.
Stopping his steps, Gerald raised a slight eyebrow as he turned to look at Yann before saying,
"If I recall correctly, I specifically remember telling you not to touch any treasures here!"
"I know, I know, but all these treasures, Gerald.! If we get all this from here, we'll be able to live the rest of our lives without worry!"
Yann replied with enthusiasm.
Sensing a glint of greed in Yann's eyes, Gerald already knew that Yann had almost lost herself to greed.
"I'll just say it one more time. We'll leave now, and we won't bring anything back with us!"
Gerald said in a serious tone.
"I refuse! Anyway, I see you take something for yourself! If you can, why can't I?" Pout Yan.
Realizing that Yann had noticed him picking up the jade, Gerald was slightly transfixed. How could he explain that the pendant had a much greater value than all those treasures.?
Seeing Gerald having a hard time, Rey then yelled,
"Sir Yann, please listen to Mr. Crawford! I'm sure he has reason to forbid you from taking any of them back!"
Unfortunately, Yann was already completely consumed by greed at the moment.
"Go past my corpse! Since you don't want it so much, fine! They're all mine now! Mark my words, I would definitely take it all out today if it was the last thing I did!"
Yann shouted as if she had gone mad.
"You.!"
Rey growls as she turns to look at Gerald, understanding that Yann will no longer take advice from anyone.
