Chapter 74

Once they arrived at the cottages, Charles turned to Madison. “If the tomb owner returns and doesn’t want us to excavate, could you ask her to keep the tomb raiders out?

Even if the tomber didn’t care about the artifacts, they certainly did. They would rather those artifacts remain burit chan fall into the wrong hands.

Madison nodded in agreement

After that, Charles and the rest of the team returned to their abode, located just a short distance from where Madison and her group were trying

Between the cottages stood a massive, ancient tree. Its branches spread wide like an enormous umbrella, casting a large shadow beneath it. Despite the season, leaves began to fall from the tree, flattering down in a steady stream.

Under the tree, Jordan stood with his head tilted back, his arms raised high, spinning in circles and metering to himself with a look of pure excitement on his face.

At least, that was how it appeared to the others

In Madison’s eyes, Jordan was actually lifting Miain the air, her kughter joyous as the leaves cascaded from her fingertips.

Meanwhile, a length of white silk dangled from one of the thick branches above, swaying gently with the movement of a pair of feet.

Though the person’s face was partially obscured by the leaves, ber voice was filled with delight..

Madison observed quieth.

As Tyler was about to take his leve, she grabbed his arm.

“Ms. Locke, is there something you need?” Tyler asked, puzzled.

“Yes. I’ve found the tomb owner. I might need to talk to her in abit, but for some of the more technical questions, we’ll need Charles and Rob to handle them ”

Tyler blinked, following Madison’s gaze toward the tree.

At first, he saw only jordan acting like a fool and a shower of loves falling inexplicably from the branches Suddenly, everything clicked, and he gasped, has eyes widening in shock.

“I–I’ll go get Mr. Corrin and the others right away,” he stammered, nearly tripping over his own feet as he hurled to the neighboring cottage.

In the cottage’s clean and tidy living room, Charles and Rob sat on wooden chains, while Tyler, lowering over everyone at nearly six fees, was huddled on a small stool behind them, looking both helpless and pitiful

After serving the coffee, Tanya took a seat next to Madsen. Though her expression remained calm, there was an evident inbture of curiosity and fear in her eyes

Jordan lounged carelessly in another chair, with Misting comfortably on his lap

Madison glanced at Charles and Rob before turning her attention to the empty chair, where a young woman was seated.

“Charles, Rob, would you like me to open your third eye so you can speak to her directly?”

Both Charks and Bob shook their bach whemently Tyler also shaking his head so vigorously that it was almost comic.

Madison pretended not to hear the voice.

Charles cleared his throat and asked, “Um, the tomben.

Maison described, “She’s a beautiful young lady.”

“How do Laddress her?”

“Her name is Yara Chap

Charles began, “Ms. Chapman, we would like to ask for your permission to excavate your tomb. Since it’s already been looted by tomb raiders, according to our cultural heritage protection laws, we should properly excavate it to preserve the resing artilan?

“And where am I supposed to live if you dle up my tom

⠀⠀Charles was momentarilyata loss and burned to Madison for help.

Madison asked Yara, “Where would you like to stay?”

Yara examined her nails in boredom Fm perfectly fine with the tomb. I don’t want to move.”

Charles didn’t want to push the matter, considering the tomb had an owner. “Could you at least make sure the tomb raiders don’t get in pain?

Yara shook her head. “Nope! 31’s too boring in the lamb. It’s than when people come by”

Charles had no words

nob cleared throat and took over “Well, then, could you allow us to enter? We’re a big gamp. So, you won’t get bored with around.”

Yara shook her head again. “Anyone who enters the tomb cursed. You’re not bad people, so if you get cursed, would that be my fat?

She questioned in alarm, “Are you trying in trick me?”

Yara’s words were bewildering.

It seemed like she wasn’t going to budge
