Chapter 5236
Seeing Adam looking friendly, unlike the others who were aggressive, Lindsey calmed
down and shook her head with determination.
"I... I will never tell you."
Then, Lindsey took a look around and rebuked the crowd. "All of you barged into my house
like pirates. All you bad guys, leave now, or else... or else I won't be courteous."
Though Lindsey was still young and she was still a girl, she had a strong character, and
she would not compromise on her principles.
To her, though the underground city had never seen the light of day like an ancient
underground tomb, it was built by her father, and so, it was home to her. Therefore, when
trespassers barged into her home, she ought to chase them out.
'Wow!'
Immediately, everyone was shocked, and they were furious.
"Little girl, how dare you scold us?" "You're still young, and you're pretty hot-tempered.
How dare you call us pirates?" "You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Tie her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtup and torture her. I don't believe a little girl would be able to cause a riot."
The people shouted and geared up as they discussed how to punish Lindsey. Each of them
looked vicious, and they had lost the demeanor of elites of sects.
Adam remained silent and secretly furrowed his brows.
'D*mn it!'
At the same time, Darryl, who hid under the eaves, also silently frowned. He felt
embarrassed for the way those people behaved.
'These people are considered famous among the community. How shameful of them to
bully a little girl.'
As he muttered, he prepared to rush down. Though he was not related to Lindsey, he
could not bear to watch all that happened before him any longer.
However, before Darryl moved, Adam, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, "Enough!
Everyone, quiet!"
His voice was not loud, but it was stern.
After hearing Adam's voice, the people quiet down. After all, Adam was the newly elected
Alliance Master. Moreover, his orders were somewhat credible.
Then, Adam inhaled deeply and said calmly, ’Everyone, she's just a kid. Children are
always truthful. Everyone here holds a position in our sects. Let's not argue with a child."
As he spoke, his eyes flickered with perplexity.
Adam was relatively young, but he was utterly connotative. Deep down, he knew that the
underground city was so big, and it would be difficult to find treasures. The only chance
was that little girl, and being forceful with her would backfire on them.
'After all, Lindsey is just a teenager. If she gets frightened, asking her about the treasures'
whereabouts would be difficult. Instead of being forceful, why don't we use another
method?'
Immediately, everyone stared at each other. They then retreated to the sides and stopped
threatening Lindsey.
Seeing that, Darryl, who hid in the eaves, glared at Adam, and he could not help but
frown.
'Is this man the newly elected Alliance Master? He looks pretty young, but he’s quite
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcredible... However, he doesn't look like he really wants to protect Lindsey.'
As Darryl thought to himself, Adam pulled Lindsey aside and smiled gently.
"Miss, don't be afraid. We're not bad people. You said your father built this place. Who's
your father?"
His tone was friendly, and the conversation sounded like an ordinary chat between an
elder and a younger one.
Lindsey did not know the ugly side of human nature. She also did not realize that Adam
was silently setting a trap. Immediately, she replied, "My father is the Palace Master of the
Heavenly Secret Palace-Joses Hardin.”
Then, Lindsey said with pride, "My father is extremely capable, and there's nothing he
can't do. So, leave now. When my father returns later, you won't be able to leave even if
you want to."
Lindsey thought she had slept in the crystal coffin for a few days or months. She thought
her father, Joses, had not died and that he was just working outside.
She had not realized that she had been asleep for almost a thousand years, that Joses had
died long ago, and that the Heavenly Secret Palace had no longer existed.
