Time Travel: Age of Discovery

The two forces remained deadlocked for a long time. Suddenly, Adilheid smiled. Despite all his planning, he had ultimately overlooked his opponent's move. From the beginning, the man named Carlos had been after the treasure. He had assumed that by the time I revealed the secret, he would have already figured it out.

It turns out that I am the chess piece being manipulated on the chessboard.

"My friend, I didn't expect you to strike first. Tell me, what do you want in exchange?"

Conditions? Quite interesting.

Upon hearing this, Teya naturally understood Adilhaid's intention. The other party might have thought that he would take the boss as a hostage, and this was an unintentional move.

In fact, the moment Adil Haider and others broke into the downstairs, Teya came up with a clever plan. He signaled everyone to be quiet, and his subsequent words made the other party mistakenly believe that he was targeting the boss.

This led to the current situation. Although their goal had been achieved, Teya was ready to fight at any time. Although they were in a town, it was difficult to predict how many black market operatives were lurking. If a real fight came, Teya still had concerns.

"Conditions? Haha, I'm just mildly interested in the treasure, so I want to personally verify its authenticity." Teya chuckled and raised his right thumb behind him. "But you, sir, are you also impatient?"

"What did you say!"

Adilhaid remained silent as the man in sunglasses angrily approached Teja, but Adilhaid held out his hand to stop him. A conflict at this moment would be of no benefit to either side, and Adilhaid knew it well.

He was well aware of Teya's strength. Even if the other party hadn't concealed it, he couldn't guarantee victory. In a real fight, the outcome was unpredictable. However, since Teya hadn't left, there was still room for negotiation. If the conditions were right, he would consider it.

As long as it is not excessive, everything is negotiable.

"To be honest, we are not particularly interested in treasures, but the world is like the sea, and without wealth, it is difficult to travel far."

Teya glanced at the other person. Although his words made sense, they had little to do with the matter. If others knew about the treasure, how could they show it to others easily?

At this moment, the boss quietly patted Teya's shoulder and slowly stepped forward, standing in front of the crowd. In the dim room, moonlight shone through the window lattice, making the room slightly brighter.

"I admit that Jagger was once my dear friend, but that happened a long time ago. I know where the treasure is, but the treasure you seek may not be what you think."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and listened attentively to the boss's words.

Adilhaid did not turn around, but said: "You retreat."

The others who accompanied him left tactfully, leaving only Adilhaid standing by the door. He leaned against the pillar and said to the boss, "Speak now, I believe you. If you don't want to speak, I won't force you."

The boss hummed softly, reminiscing for a moment, and continued, "It's been a long time since this happened..."

After the boss finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. If what he said was true, this was a magical experience.

He and Gagu were born nearly thirty years apart, but they became close friends and spent time together on adventures until Gagu passed away. He has been guarding this secret alone until today.

"So, Gagra's treasure has always been on this island, but people have been blind to it and don't know its true identity."

Adilhaid was silent. Only then did he realize that everything was just a farce and he was the clown in the play.

Tina was stunned to learn that the Garin fruit tree was actually the treasure left by Gagula. According to the old man, Gagula encountered the Garin fruit tree when he was stranded on an island in distress at sea. The fruit saved his life, so he brought back the seeds and treasured them as a treasure.

"Lin is the name of Gagula's wife, so this unknown fruit is named after her, implying the eternal union of the two."

Adilhaid suddenly realized something and said, "No wonder you are so reluctant to leave the orchard. That's why."

The boss lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "I am old now, and only these memories accompany me."

Adilhaid and Teja looked at each other and smiled, both finding it ridiculous that they were so busy just for a beautiful story.

However, Teya became suspicious.

"Adil Haid, could you please tell me who published the treasure newspaper news?"

Adilhaide thought for a moment and said, "It was done by a partner, but I have never met this person and don't know where he is. I only know that he has a wide network of contacts."

"I see."

The matter ended there. The treasure incident was nothing but a farce from beginning to end.

Adilhaid felt bored and dismissed everyone. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Teya.

“Is the so-called paradise really a paradise?”

Adil Haider paused and looked back at Teya.

"what for?"

"I was thinking of making a bet with you."

"Oh?"

……

Inside the boss's shop, people were sitting around, seemingly having a conversation.

"Mr. Carlos, why do you act like this?"

"Well...it's not about the orchard, it's just a spur of the moment decision. More importantly, I want to fight the one who claims to be the strongest."

It turns out that Teya and Adilhade have made a bet, and the loser must agree to one condition. If Teya loses, he will join Adilhade's black market; otherwise, if Adilhade loses, he will return the town and orchard of Fuxi Island to his boss.

Adilhaid agreed, as he thought the condition was fair. Although he failed to obtain the treasure, the purpose of the treasure was also to keep Teya. However, his methods were a bit unscrupulous and greedy.

Tina looked a little worried, but Teya saw through her thoughts and gently stroked her head: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. But... is it okay to let his black market continue to exist on this island?"

The owner took a sip of tea and said, "It's okay. He's been here for a long time. Everyone in the town is living well except me. I only stayed because of the house. At least I won't be threatened."

Teya nodded when he heard this. He couldn't kill them all, so this was considered a proper solution.

At this moment, Adil Haider was alone in a room.

A lazy voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "In that case, I will personally attend the battle."

Adilheid responded respectfully, "Thank you, Master Quinn."
