Chapter 1812 Three Months
After Frida and the others left, Juan looked around before running into the cave. He saw six small holes and wondered, In which hole is the treasure hidden?
He took a closer look and began to check one by one.
Just when he arrived at the third hole, he heard footsteps outside. The guards who were sent by Elias to block the entrance of the cave had arrived.
“Crap! Should I get out right now?”
While he was hesitating, he heard a loud noise.
Gale had actually got those people to blow up the entrance of the cave.
F*ck. How could this happen? They said nothing about using explosives!
Looking at the entrance of the cave, which had been completely sealed by rocks, Juan knew that there was no way out now. Am I going to die in here? Will this cave be my grave? No! Is this a joke?
Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, he continued to explore other holes to see if he could discover anything else.
“The entrance is sealed. I believe those who are looking for the treasure won’t be able to find it easily.”
“Yes. Even if they find it, they will never know that the treasure is in here.”
“Keep this in mind. Don’t tell anyone about this, or you’ll lose your life!”
“Don’t worry. We’ll keep our mouths shut.”
“Good! Let’s go, then.”
Gale glanced at the entrance of the cave, which was covered with weeds, and left with the rest.
He could never have imagined that someone had already entered the cave.
Meanwhile, Shermaine, who had gotten the book of secret techniques, was reading through it attentively. It turned out that if one wanted to alter another person’s memory, one had to pay a price. She finally understood why the master had sealed the book back then.
It was written in the book that altering others’ memories would only be effective for three months, and those who used the secret technique could only live up to three months.
In other words, when the memory of the person was restored, the life of the person who used the secret technique would end.
Shermaine looked awful upon reading the book.
Once she used the secret technique on Evan, she would only live for three months. Should I…
Looking at her pale face, Frida realized something was off, so she read through the book as well. She was shocked when she found out about the truth.
H-How is that possible?
She grabbed Shermaine’s hand and persuaded her, “Shermaine, you can’t use this. You can’t…”
Shermaine was hesitant. Although all she could think about was being in love now, she still had to consider carefully since she would only have three months left to live after using the secret technique.
“What is it?”
Elias, feeling curious, took the book. His face clouded over when he finished reading, and he wanted to destroy the book.
“Elias, what are you doing?”
“This harmful thing shouldn’t exist in this world. No wonder the master sealed the books back then. I’ll destroy it now to save it from harming other people!”
“No! It took us great effort to get it. You can’t destroy it! You can’t!” Shermaine quickly stopped him.
“Why? Are you really going to use the technique? Three months. You will only have three months to live after this. Is Evan worth it? Is he worth your life? I thought you’ve always hated men.”
“Yes, Shermaine. Don’t be stupid. It’s all my fault. If I had known that there’s a price to pay for it, I wouldn’t have helped you get the book!” Frida said.
Looking at the both of them, Shermaine smiled wryly. “I didn’t say that I would use it, but I will think about it. Elias, you don’t have the right to destroy it. The book was sealed by the master.” She took the book from Elias’ hands. “I cherish my own life, so I won’t do anything stupid.”
