237: Chapter 122 Guardian 237: Chapter 122 Guardian Dane, after seizing the Shield, didn’t linger for even a mont and imdiately left the room.
He sprinted all the way until he stopped in front of a collapsed pitch-black building.
This was evidently a granary that had been burned down.
Dane held the Shield in his hand, his gaze fixed on the building before him, his eyes filled with desolation and loneliness.
Raindrops fell on him, sliding down his sharp-angled face and entering the collar of his shirt, yet he seed oblivious.
“Father, rest assured, I will find your killer and avenge you!
No matter what it is!”
Staring at the place that buried his loved ones, Dane once more fird his resolve to uncover the true culprit.
Just then, as if sensing sothing, he abruptly raised his head and looked towards his side.
“Who’s there!?”
Following his gaze, not far from him stood two figures, silently watching him.
Dane’s pupils shrank.
These two seed a bit out of the ordinary…
The reason he instantly had this thought was due to the fact that the other party’s attire was indeed sowhat unusual.
From their shapes, it wasn’t hard to tell that the two of them were a male-female duo.
Both of them wore hoods, one clad in a purple-black robe, while the other was dressed in a bizarre, pure white outfit.
Raindrops that fell on them instantly rolled off, and though they stood in the rain, not a single water stain could be seen on their clothes.
What surprised Dane the most was that the man’s purple-black robe seed to emit a faint silver glow, with a Galaxy pattern on it that appeared to have co to life, flowing quietly.
“Who…
who exactly are you?”
Dane’s facial expression was beginning to show confusion and uncertainty.
At this mont, Sam also ran out of the house, following his brother all the way here.
In his hand, he carried a broad umbrella, walking over to cover Dane with it, saying, “Dane, have you lost your mind?
How could you do this?
Co back with now!”
He had only spoken halfway when he too saw the two people standing not far away.
“Hm?
Who are they?”
Sam looked them over and asked, “Who are you?
Are you guests here for the auction?
The auction isn’t over yet, please return to the house for now, and don’t wander around.”
He had noticed the other party’s clothing but didn’t think too much of it, assuming it was so kind of exotic fluorescent dress.
The rain was getting heavier at that mont, with a “whooshing” sound that seed to dominate the world around them.
However, all they received in response was a prolonged silence.
Sam frowned slightly, his lips moved faintly, about to speak again, but then he heard a clear and pleasant female voice from across.
“Watchn…”
The girl’s voice was lodious and touching, blending with the sound of the rain, giving an almost ethereal sensation.
“Hmm?
What?”
The two brothers exchanged glances, both appearing sowhat astonished, unsure if they had misheard or if the other had misspoken.
“Watchn.”
After a mont, the girl repeated her earlier words, and this ti the two n heard clearly, yet their faces grew even more puzzled.
Sam stepped forward and said, “Miss, I think you might have made a mistake, we are Wencheen, not so Watchn.”
On one side, Dane furrowed his brows, feeling sothing off about the address the other had used, yet he couldn’t quite put his finger on it at the mont.
In the rain, upon hearing Sam’s response, a sigh suddenly erged.
It seed to co from the robed man.
“Alas, if the Guardian has already forgotten their identity, we might as well head back…”
After he finished speaking, the man turned to leave, his female companion taking his hand and following close behind with matching steps.
However, as the man’s words fell, the Wencheen brothers standing there were suddenly stunned.
To their shock, they realized the man had spoken in the language of Hua Xia Country, and they had understood the aning of his words!
Yet the problem was, neither of them spoke the language of Hua Xia at all!
At that mont, Sam was still in a state of ntal shutdown, but Dane suddenly snapped back to reality, a flurry of thoughts crowding his mind.
“They didn’t call us by the wrong na, they ca looking for us!
And they addressed us as Guardians!
That word, I’ve definitely heard it sowhere!
Where exactly!!”
As he pondered frantically, his fingers accidentally touched a small booklet in his pocket, his father’s diary!
The diary…
Yes, the diary!
Dane’s eyes suddenly widened as he rembered where he had heard that appelation—his father’s diary ntioned the title of Guardian.
So that was it!
So that was it!
Dane felt he had completely figured it out, these two were indeed looking for them, or rather, were looking for the Guardian!
At that mont, his hands couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
They must not be ordinary people, right!
The words “Transcendent” instantly appeared in his mind.
“No!
Please wait a mont!!”
Dane blurted out almost reflexively, the abrupt sound startling Sam as well.
In the distance, the departing figures also stopped in their tracks.
They were naturally Zhang Xiaoman and Lin Sisi.
Zhang Xiaoman, upon learning that the address of a recomnded new mber on the gang’s list was nearby, rose up to check the place out.
If possible, he intended to also investigate the situation of this recomnded subordinate and whether there were any resources in the area.
He wasn’t interested in auctions, so he hadn’t appeared at the venue, but instead took the opportunity to fly his Anti-gravity Car back and forth over the estate.
As it turned out, he indeed discovered sothing interesting.
Originally, he had just intended to check out the anomaly he had just noticed, but unexpectedly, he encountered the masters of the house.
Zhang Xiaoman signaled Lin Sisi to test the other party, but judging by their reaction, they didn’t seem to understand what was going on.
He could only sigh and turn to leave, planning to return another ti to investigate more thoroughly.
However, just as he was about to leave, soone behind him suddenly called out to him, surprising Zhang Xiaoman montarily.
Yet as a seasoned Big Con Man, he wasn’t thrown off by the surprise and rely stopped in his tracks, turning slightly as if waiting for the other to explain why they had called out to him.
Seeing his deanor, Dane involuntarily swallowed and felt an unexpected surge of nervousness.
He began sowhat falteringly, “Excuse , are you here looking for…
the Guardian?
I think, I know who that might be…”
