Chapter 129
“Hah, look what I’ve found? A hidden secret door.” Footsteps echoed in the empty ancient castle, followed by the sound of something being dragged.
“Cough cough cough cough cough! So much dust!” West bent down, coughing violently as the dust assaulted his face, his eyes watering. Once his vision cleared, he saw a black hole of an entrance revealed by the opened underground secret door, with stairs winding down.
“Ah, it’s a basement!” he exclaimed excitedly.
This immediately grabbed the attention of the others.
Steele had just arrived, and saw West unhesitatingly stepping down the stairs, a puzzled look crossing her face. Why did it feel like this guy’s enthusiasm and eagerness had increased greatly ever since he found the sapphire?
…Among the four of them, the useless vase Ella was still immersed in the script, still playing the frightened damsel in distress, being comforted by Andre all the way, practically forcing a sweet couple subplot.
…In comparison, West’s style was that of a detached explorer – he had already searched several rooms in this short time, always able to discover details in obscure corners – most likely because the production team had given him a script, but his level of action was still excessive.
She had joined this show only for the money the production team offered, but ended up being dragged around by this guy, her physical strength almost depleted. This was really… unnecessary effort! Was he trying to complete the three-day search task in a single day?
Despite her frantic inner monologue, Steele still obediently followed, entering the dark underground passage, not forgetting to call the affectionate couple behind to catch up.
