"Is this the place?" Dorian asked.

He leaned forward, looking down at the hole beneath him. He turned toward Crowne. It was clear he was hesitant because the place was dark and the distance they had to jump was very deep.

"You are not tricking me, right?" Dorian narrowed his eyes.

"For what? Do I have any reason to trap you?"

Dorian stared at Crowne for quite a while until he finally believed him. He then turned to the adventurers who followed.

"Let's go!" Dorian said.

They jumped down. Crowne, Daisy, and Lina followed right after. As soon as they landed, they could hardly see anything until several adventurers lit their torches.

Only then could they see what was inside. Some of the adventurers even moved closer to each other in shock.

"This is a tomb," Dorian said.

"Yes, this is an ancient tomb," Crowne replied. Then he pointed in one direction. "I found the relic over there!" he said.

Dorian and the adventurers looked toward where Crowne pointed. They immediately walked toward the coffin in the middle of the room, but it was empty.

Dorian turned toward Crowne. "What did you find?"

"Only that relic. Nothing more," Crowne answered.

"You are not lying to me?" Dorian asked suspiciously.

Crowne only lifted his shoulders. At the same time, Dorian grew even more suspicious. He raised his hand. The adventurers instantly pulled out their weapons.

Crowne was surrounded. At the same time, Daisy and Lina were already ready to attack if Crowne was attacked, but Crowne told them to lower their weapons.

"But..."

"They will not hurt me," Crowne said.

"Right. We will not hurt you, but stay calm."

Crowne nodded. "Just do it."

Dorian ordered the adventurers to inspect every part of Crowne's body. They checked every area. Crowne only raised his arms and did not resist at all.

One of the adventurers returned to Dorian. "There is nothing, guild master. He is really not carrying anything."

Dorian let out a long breath. He lowered his hand, signaling the adventurers to step back.

"Alright. Then we continue with our original plan." Dorian looked around the room. "Search this place. Every corner. Do not leave any suspicious stone or carving. This is an ancient tomb. We do not know what lies inside. Be careful."

The adventurers immediately spread out, lighting the room with their torches. Dorian watched from the center.

The room was vast. Much wider than what they saw when they first came down. Crowne himself only now realized how large it was because when he first found this place, he did not inspect it carefully.

There were even large pillars at the edges of the room. They held up the ceiling above, keeping the upper part stable.

But aside from that, nothing was truly remarkable. Almost the entire place was empty. There was only the tomb.

Dorian turned toward Crowne again. "You are sure you did not take anything from here?"

"Do you want to check my inn room? If you need to, go ahead" Crowne replied.

He remained calm because the treasure he found was stored inside his inventory. It was a storage ability only he could access.

Inventory was a natural skill Crowne possessed and not something everyone had. So far, Crowne had never seen anyone else with an ability like it.

"If I find something from you, you will be in big trouble," Dorian threatened.

Daisy and Lina heard that threat. Both looked irritated, but Crowne immediately stopped them. He stepped forward himself and stood directly in front of Dorian.

Crowne's gaze sharpened. "You are threatening me?"

Dorian stared back. "Of course. I do not like people who lie."

Crowne lifted his hand and pointed at Dorian. Seeing that, Dorian wanted to get angry, but suddenly his eyes widened and he fell backward, supporting himself with both hands.

His eyes remained open for two whole minutes. "What was that?"

He looked at Crowne again. Crowne simply stood there with his hand raised. He held no weapon, yet for a moment Dorian felt as if he had been slashed.

"What did you do?" Dorian asked.

Crowne lifted his shoulders. "Same as you. I also dislike something, and one of them is someone who does not know their place. I already showed you this location, I already showed the relic I discovered, and you even took my relic away. Yet you still threaten me. Is that not excessive?"

Dorian wanted to argue, but one second later, a sword appeared right in front of his face. Crowne stared at Dorian with cold eyes.

The adventurers saw that and wanted to help, but at the same moment several of Crowne's beasts appeared, ready to fight. Crowne summoned twenty beasts, and that alone was enough to stop them.

Dorian clenched his fists. "What do you want?"

"Apologize," Crowne answered.

Dorian inhaled deeply and exhaled several times. He repeated it until his emotions calmed down.

As a guild master, Dorian had a great sense of pride, but the situation forced him to lower his ego.

"I am not asking you to do something low. I only want you to apologize for accusing someone who gave you information," Crowne said again.

Dorian stood up. "Forgive me."

Crowne smiled. He lowered his weapon and the beasts disappeared. He even stepped back, moving away from where he had stood earlier.

Then he looked upward. "I am not the type to get angry easily, but if someone goes too far, it is annoying."

Crowne turned to Lina and Daisy. "Do you want to come?"

Lina and Daisy nodded and ran to him. Crowne pulled both girls into his arms, and one second later, the Beast Golem appeared and carried Crowne, Lina, and Daisy back to the surface.

When they reached the top, the ground closed again. Crowne, Lina, and Daisy left the area, leaving Dorian and the adventurers still below.

The adventurers who witnessed Crowne's behavior walked toward Dorian.

"Is this not too much, guild master? I think you should punish Crowne," one of them said.

Dorian did not respond immediately. He inhaled and exhaled several more times. After that, he shook his head.

"No. He is right. I was the one who went too far," Dorian said. "Without Crowne, I would not have any clue about the relic we found. I should not only apologize, but I should also be thanking him."
