After a few hours of flying, by midday, the helicopter Denton had descended onto the vast plaza of Star Gate, surrounded by ancient, lush pines and an enchanting landscape.

As the helicopter touched down, Denton noticed two other helicopters on the plaza.

They were the same ones the Carter family had used to send Sylas back to Star Gate the previous day.

He never expected that his act of kindness would be repaid with such treachery by Star Gate. Once the helicopter had landed and the doors opened, Denton stepped out.

There was only one person there to greet him: an elderly man in a brown robe with white hair and deep. profound eyes.

This elder was Denton’s master, Steve, the third presbyter of Star Gate.

Besides Steve, there was no one else in sight on the plaza.

Denton knew this was intentional, as Star Gate didn’t want many people to know about the change involving the Treasure Map.

Although in Denton’s eyes, Steve was now almost indistinguishable from an enemy, he still greeted him respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Cain.”

Steve’s face was almost expressionless as he said, “You’ve finally come. Did you bring the item?”

Denton replied, “I’ve brought it.”

Steve simply said, “Follow me.”

He then turned and walked towards a grand hall.

Denton followed closely behind him.

Upon entering the hall, Denton saw Tristan and Presbyter Tiger, as well as Presbyter Phoenix, seated on grand chairs.

Additionally, on one side of the hall stood ten robust martialists and disciples of Star Gate, dressed in white training attire.

Denton could sense the powerful aura emanating from them; they were all internal force martialists, Steve led Denton to the front of the hall and announced to Tristan, “Mr. McLean, Denton has arrived.” Tristan looked up at Denton with a smile, “Denton, welcome back. Please have a seat!”

However, Denton was in no mood for niceties. With a stern look, he said, “Mr. McLean, I’ve brought the item as promised. Please release my granddaughter.”

Seeing his straightforwardness, Tristan replied with a smile, “Your granddaughter is safe here at Star Gate.”

His demeanor was overly friendly, as if everything could be easily settled.

But Denton knew better. The more amicable Tristan seemed, the more dangerous he truly was, Behind that smile likely hid a dagger.

Denton pressed, “Mr. McLean, I wish to see my granddaughter. Once Lsee she’s unharmed, I’ll hand over what you want.”

Tristan responded, “Of course, I’ll have her brought here right now.”

Turning to the martialists on the side, he ordered, “Bring Claire to the main hall.”

Two of the martialists promptly stepped forward and replied with reverence, “Yes, Mr. McLean.

They then exited the hall.

In just a few minutes, they returned with Claire, whose hands were bound with ropes.

The moment she entered the hall and saw Denton, she exclaimed, “Grandpa, you must leave! Everyone here at Star Gate is wicked!”

Seeing his granddaughter’s hands tied, Denton’s heart ached.

He comforted her, “Claire, don’t be afraid. I’m here to rescue you.”

It dawned on Claire that her grandpa had come to Star Gate for her sake.

Recalling the previous day, she’d been shown around Sword Mountain by Star Gate disciples. Yet, returning, on Presbyter Tiger’s orders, she and the Carter family’s martialists were immediately captured.

They’d been tied up and confined in a stone chamber behind Star Gate’s mountains for over a day and night.

This experience was why Claire immediately warned her grandpa about the treachery of Star Gate. “Mr. McLean, is this how you treat your guests? An indignant Claire addressed Tristan in the hall. Tristan beamed at Claire, “Miss Claire, we must apologize for our actions. But rest assured, once your grandfather hands over what we seek, not only will we release you, but we will also apologe and courteously escort you home.”

Claire, confused, turned to Denton, “Grandpa, what do they want from you?”

Instead of answering Claire, Denton locked eyes with Tristan, stating, “Mr. McLean, I’m willing to give

what you want. But first, you must release my granddaughter.

“Only after she safely boards the helicopter and leaves will I hand it over.”

A gleam flashed in Tristan’s eyes, “Very well, Denton. I agree to let your granddaughter leave first. “However, if, after releasing her, you do not have the item, not only will you die, but every member of the Carter family will also pay the price.”

He then signaled to the two martialists holding Claire, Untie her.”

“Yes, Mr. McLean,” they replied, swiftly unbinding Claire’s hands.

Freed from her restraints, Claire immediately ran to Denton, asking, “Grandpa, isn’t Star Gate your “Why do they want to harm us? What’s going on?”

Denton gave a bitter smile.

Indeed, wasn’t Star Gate his sect?

But now, his very own sect was threatening him.

The lure of the Treasure Map was so strong that it could turn even the closest allies into enemies.

Before its allure, what did loyalty to one’s sect or bonds of fellowship truly count for?

sect?

“Claire,” Denton said urgently, “you need to board the helicopter and return to Oakhaven immediately.” Claire’s voice was steadfast, “No, I want to leave with you.”

Denton reprimanded her, “Claire! Don’t be stubborn! If you don’t leave now, not only will you be in danger, but your parents will also be at risk.

“Do you really want to witness such a tragedy?”

Tears welled up in Claire’s eyes as she shook her head.

No, she didn’t want to see that happen.

Why was her grandpa speaking this way?

What had transpired behind the scenes that forced Star Gate to threaten her grandpa’s life? However, the stern, almost furious expression on Denton’s face left her with no choice but to obey “Grandpa, I’m leaving now, but you must come back, Claire’s voice trembled with emotion as she gazed

at Denton.

Denton’s stern expression softened slightly. He nodded at Claire and said, “Go on. Your parents are waiting for you at home.”

With tears in her eyes, Claire turned and left the grand hall.

Denton watched Claire’s retreating figure, his heart filled with a mixture of relief and unspeakable

Sorrow.

He was relieved that Claire could leave safely.

But the sorrow stemmed from the thought that this might be the last time he’d see Claire.

With the Treasure Map in his possession, Star Gate would never let him leave alive. If he died, the secret of the Treasure Map would die with him.

In essence, his fate was sealed.

The humming sound of the helicopter blades grew louder.

Claire boarded the chopper, which soon lifted off the plaza and departed Star Gate.

Denton’s heart felt lighter as he watched the helicopter vanish into the sky.

“Denton, How that she’s gone, can you hand over the Treasure Map?” Tristan’s commanding voice echoed from the hall.
