章 65: Unbelievable findings

Chi Cheng reminded himself of the urgency of the situation, thus he reserved his emotional dilemmas for another time of leisure.

However, one thing was for certain, and that was that trusting Han Xuelian was no longer an option.

Shaking his head to clear his morbid thoughts, Chi Cheng combed through the remaining documents, but none of them were related to the queries he had in mind. Reaching the bottom of the drawer, his hand bumped against a cold, metal object.

He set the documents to the side, leaning in closer to get a better visual. Chi Cheng discovered a medium-sized, square metal box with a latch that was tightly sealed and engraved with an incantation. When his finger neared the latch, an electrical thread of energy sparked and shocked him.
