Chapter 80: Hissss!
The slightly dark office remained silent for a few seconds, as the seven men wearing the golden masks stared into empty spaces as if they were nothing more than statues.
Then a man wearing the same black robe and a black mask hurriedly walked inside and passed a letter to each man after bowing respectfully. From the shivering of his body, it could be noticed how nervous and fearful he was.
"Sir, I have brought the latest report," the black masked man said and then waited there silently. The seven men picked up the reports and went through them quickly. On the masks, each of the seven men had a number written on it.
None of them were aware of each other’s real identity and only used those numbers to address one another.
"So the tomb has finally been found," Number Five muttered, his voice rather emotionless.
"Haha! So when are we leaving to go there? I heard there is some great treasure hidden in the tomb." Number Three appeared to be a psycho; even his clothes and mask were covered in blood.
"We have little information about that tomb. More than thirty men who had gone there to explore the area have already lost their lives. We could only personally make the move," Number Two spoke. Despite the grave news, his voice was calm.
"Tch, those sniffing dogs got a smell of the tomb too. Ha, I guess it can’t be helped. They are always on our tails, so we would just have to be careful against them. They can be quite annoying," Number One muttered as he threw away the report.
These seven men had been dispatched by the Nine Pact to the Dunshire Kingdom. They had several purposes in doing so; on the surface, they were performing various kinds of research, but they also had to find out more about a secret that the Nine Pact had discovered from ancient texts.
A tomb!!
Nothing was known about it except for the general location and the fact that it held a great treasure that could easily sway the power scale of a universe. So how could anyone not want something of that calibre?
