Chapter 3512
Darryl stayed silent for a while before he said, "I've been researching ancient texts and had heard that the Holy
Jade Scripture contains deep and profound knowledge. So, I wanted to see it for myself." He wished he did not
have to answer her question but could not bear to disappoint her once he took one look at her face.
Madame Pandora furrowed her eyebrows. "I heard that the words written on it are extraordinary, but that not
everyone can read it."
"I can read it!" Darryl said with a smile.
Madame Pandora was shocked by that revelation. ‘He can read the words in the Holy Jade Scripture? How many
more secrets does he hold about himself?'
"Well, we have rested long enough. Shall we make a move?" Darryl asked after looking
outside the tent. He wanted to go back to the capital as soon as possible.

the night and make a move in the morning?" She quickly poured wine into his glass.
There was no way she was going back there, she had already decided to make him drunk
and quietly sneak away with her family once he was asleep.
Darryl scratched his head. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He could not bear to
rush her, for he could see the tiredness in her eyes. However, he did not know that she
was pretending to be tired. 2
They drank a few more glasses of wine and then turned in separately for the night. They
made sure their tents were as far as possible to avoid her servants creating gossip about
them.
However, once he was back in his own tent, he began to feel as if something was off about
the whole thing. There were many other ways to seek revenge on Madame Pandora if the
families she had wronged had wanted to do so. Why would they pin the crime of stealing
the Holy Jade Scripture onto her? Then there was the fact that only Yalena and the 12
paladins were on the scene when he discovered the Thousand Variations Box to be empty,
so none of the other people in the Temple of Lights knew that the Holy Jade Scripture was
missing.
There was no way the news could have reached the other families so fast. That left him
with the most plausible explanation— Madame Pandora had lied to him! He wanted to
question her immediately, but his body was uncooperative from all the wine he had drunk,
oh well, he could always wait until the morning to interrogate her, and with that thought,
he fell asleep immediately. 2

In her own tent, Madame Pandora was staring at the night sky in a trance-like state. The wine had colored her
cheek, making her even more attractive, she was waiting for Darryl to fall asleep so that she could leave with her
family.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance of her tent like a ghost. It was a cold and glamorous woman donned
in an all-black soft armor. Her face was expressionless like the ice and snow that lasted forever, she was emitting
a dangerous aura.
Madame Pandora was startled by her presence, but she courteously said, "Your Excellency, what are you doing
here?"
"I've come to get you. I was here when the bandits stopped you, but I decided to keep myself hidden when I saw
Darren." It was Rosalind from the Fantasy Sect.
In the entire Roland Continent, other than the Temple of Light, there were many hidden organizations. The
Fantasy Sect was one of them. Three years ago, by chance, Madame Pandora had joined the Fantasy Sect and
had been secretly working for them since then.
