Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 2101 - Bab 2110

After they crossed a village, the expedition team arrived on a barren piece of land.Sylvie then took out a stud finder from her backpack and checked the surrounding area before stamping her feet on a patch of ground. "This is it. Start digging!""What?!"Lara was unsure how she should react. "If it's a tomb, shouldn't it have an entrance? Why do we have to dig?""Entrance? What, did you think that this is a TV show?"Sylvie laughed. "Most tombs don't even have pillars, and even the pillars of the rare few tombs of kings would erode and crumble from the shifting of the tectonic plates. That's why your so-called entrances would have long since been buried, so don't expect to find some lost world in there. Archaeology is really mostly digging and far different from the adventures you have in mind."Lara flashed a pained smile. "Then why do you need a security escort?""You'll find out soon enough." Sylvie flashed a mysterious smile.Lara did not like guessing games, however, and

"Now's not the time for that, Mr. Frankton!" Tigris exclaimed urgently. "We're in trouble! You have to come here quickly!""What's wrong?""You'd know when you get here!" Tigris cried and hung up before Frank could ask for details."What's wrong?" Lara asked, though she could tell that something was wrong too. "Sylvie will be fine alone. Let's go back together!"Frank nodded, and they were soon back at the flatlands.Before they arrived, they could hear noisy footsteps but found nothing when they went closer!They soon found Tigris and his men huddled together outside the tents, looking around while trembling."What happened?" Frank asked, hurrying toward him.Tigris almost broke into tears. "Can't you hear the footsteps? They're so close, but we can't see anyone! This place is really haunted!"His men were all nodding and sweating down their backs."Haunted? Not likely!"Frank did not believe in the paranormal.But he did hear footsteps… Could it be…?!"Wait, no… Someone

The first room Frank entered had a coffin placed dead center, with various other burial items around it.Upon closer look, there were signs that they had been moved."This isn't a tomb… It's a hideout!" Lara exclaimed."Wrong. This isn't made specifically to be a hideout—it was a tomb, later fashioned into a hideout,' Frank explained as he realized why there was no significant structural damage inside—someone had dug an additional passage directed here, a place to hide.Lara nodded. "Makes sense… But if there were people who used this as a hideout, why didn't they take the artifacts?""It's most likely because of the era when it was built," Frank replied. "Think about it—in which period would you need a hideout?"Lara realized with a start at Frank's explanation. "So they dug it during a war? That does explain it, since antiques aren't worth anything during such times."Frank nodded and led her to the next room—it was a lot less interesting, as it was mostly empty and the floor

"Okay…" Lara turned and smiled sweetly at Frank, the way she looked at him having clearly changed.After daybreak, both she and Sylvie were discharged as they had no further issues following checkups.They had breakfast together at a nearby restaurant before returning to the tomb.The construction team had already arrived, and Sylvie instructed them on where to dig.However, after clearing the surface level, they had a problem when they reached the lower passageway.It turned out that the structure on the lower level had a delicate design, and they would need to blow up the columns keeping the roof up with dynamite if they wanted to dig deeper.But if they blew up said columns, the entire tomb would collapse too!After weighing her options, Sylvie decided to allow the construction team to head inside the tomb to examine the column structure.Just as she expected, the support was perfect and would last a few more decades."Alright, then let's head down!" she said, steeling hers

But for some reason, the hero and his forces vanished in the midst of their campaign—not defeated, but disappearing on the spot.In remembrance, the peasants built this coffinless tomb for the hero.However, that story was just the tip of the iceberg. The murals on the east side had been vandalized, so there were missing pieces of the story that eluded Sylvie and the others.They were not particularly invested in the story either—people in olden times were superstitious, and transportation was terrible, not to mention they had to travel dozens of miles to get from one point to the other. In all likelihood, the hero's forces were decimated, and with the peasants likely kept out of the loop, their tale was adapted into myth.As such, the expedition did not dwell on it and continued surveying the chamber.That was not the case for Frank, however.Having come with a purpose, he also had a different interpretation—the hero's so-called power must have been stolen, infused to the thug
