Since Gerald and Rey had earlier dismantled all the traps leading to the chamber, Tye and his men had little trouble getting to the tomb, and upon seeing the casket for the first time, Tye instantly went giddy with excitement. Laughing triumphantly, Tye’s eyes glinted greedily as he ran toward the casket while yelling, “I’ve finally found you! After all this time!” Seeing how delighted Tye was, one of his confused men couldn’t help but ask, “Um… Whose tomb is this, Charman Lamano…?” “Hmm? This is the tomb of a great general of the ancient country of Zanekh! While there are countless treasures in this tomb, the most priceless one can be found in this very casket! Based on the rumors I’ve heard, there’s a ten-thousand-year-old pearl in there that’s capable of preserving a body for eternity!” explained Tye as his hand caressed the golden casket. “R-really? That’s one hell of a treasure then!” exclaimed the man who had asked. “You bet it is! Now enough talk! Hurry and get me the

Regardless, once he was done laughing, Tye used all his strength to lift the lid off the casket! Though Gerald immediately leaped forward and kicked Tye into the air after seeing that, the deed had been done. With the casket now open, the entire chamber began shaking violently, sending debris—from the ceiling—falling everywhere…! Even so, Gerald’s attention was currently on more worrying things, like the black mist that had just flown out the golden casket! Just as Gerald had predicted, there was something extremely dangerous within that casket! Whatever the case was, things were looking bad. With that in mind, Gerald immediately retreated from the chamber and reunited with Rey who had been hiding at a blind spot right outside the chamber. Upon seeing Gerald, Rey quickly asked, “W-what should we do now, Mr. Crawford…?!” “Run, of course! We need to get out of here!” yelled Gerald as he grabbed Rey’s arm before yanking him toward the exit. Though escaping this place unscath

Gerald was currently at a loss as well, so he simply said, “…We’ll think about it once we get back!” Since this matter needed to be planned carefully, Gerald felt that they had to do it in the safety of their home. Naturally, Rey agreed, and after traveling for an entire day, the two finally made it back… Upon entering their living room, the duo saw Juno and Yrsa sitting there watching television. Realizing that they were home, Juno immediately got off the couch before excitedly walking up to them while exclaiming, “You’re back!” Rey himself simply walked past her and dived into the couch before yelling, “Oh god! It feels great to be back…!” Watching as Rey then sighed loudly, Juno could already tell that this mission hadn’t gone smoothly. With that in mind, she turned to face Gerald before asking, “Is… everything alright, Gerald…?” Simply shaking his head, Gerald replied, “It’s nothing. We’re just tired!” That wasn’t a lie either. Gerald was pretty exhausted by this po

Flopping onto the couch before staring at the ceiling, Tye then growled, “Just you wait, Gerald… I’m not letting you off that easily…!” Whenever he thought about Gerald, the hatred in his heart would simply flare up. No matter what, he was going to make sure Gerald paid the price…! Fast forward to the next morning, Gerald got up early and silently left the house on his own. He was off to see Master Snyder in hopes of asking him whether he knew of a way to deal with Tye in his current state… When he arrived at Master Snyder’s home about half an hour later, the door immediately swung open before Gerald could even knock. “Come in!” called out Master Snyder from inside, making it evident that he had already sensed Gerald’s presence. With that in mind, Gerald then walked in, the door closing behind him on its own… Stopping once he stood in the middle of the hall, Gerald then called out, “Master Snyder!” Following that, Gerald felt a swift gust of wind behind him… and just li

Not wanting to waste any time, Gerald immediately asked, “So, what’s the situation like?” “Well, you already know that the victim is a security guard of the Sun Group. From what we’ve gathered, the time of death should be around midnight yesterday, and we’re assuming he must have encountered something paranormal since his body is all dried up! His eyes are milky white as well!” explained Harold as Gerald went ahead to squat beside the security guard’s body… After properly inspecting it, Gerald was now surer than ever that Tye was the culprit. Looking around, Gerald couldn’t help but take note of a wine bottle and a single wine glass in one of the cabinets… Raising a slight brow, Gerald then headed over to investigate… and on the wineglass, he found a stain. Seeing that, Gerald immediately began thinking of how that stain came to exist there. From what he could guess, Tye had probably returned to the Sun Group building last night to have a drink of wine. However, he was notice
