Chapter 73

Gunther and Gabriel stayed still for a while before they realized what Oliver meant. They could not help but be ecstatic.

If the Tristar Treasure map were complete, they would have a higher chance of success rate.

Gunther suddenly felt that Oliver was his lucky charm. Oliver was the one who took out the first two maps and tokens of Tristar Treasure and recognized them.

Then he found the third map token. Maybe this was his luck.

By four o’clock in the afternoon, the leader of Gunther’s bodyguard, Louis Hayes, had arranged for five Ford F-150s. These SUVs had excellent off-road performance and strong maneuverability. Each vehicle had two cabs, five seats, and a spacious compartment for carrying supplies.

There were 14 people in total, including Gunther, Hailey, Gabriel, six bodyguards, Oliver, Wayne, Simon, Sienna, and the tour guide, Isaac.

Initially, Gunther had intended for Hailey to stay behind. However, upon further consideration, he realized that Hailey possessed a fierce and stubborn nature. Besides, he wanted her to accompany him on the journey, regardless of whether it would be his last or not.

The most significant factor that influenced Gunther’s decision was the presence of Oliver with the complete set of Tristak Treasure Map tokens. This gave Gunther a sense of assurance that the journey would be relatively safe and less perilous. As a result, he ultimately made the choice to bring Hailey along on the expedition.

Oliver and three other people embarked on the journey in a car. Wayne took the driver’s seat while Simon occupied the front passenger seat. Oliver and Sienna settled in the back row.

Gunther and his daughter occupied one car, with Louis taking the wheel. Gabriel sat in the front passenger seat while the other six individuals spread across four separate vehicles.

Isaac, accompanied by a bodyguard, took the lead as they ventured through Mount Rockenan. While one-third of the mountain had been transformed into a scenic area, the majority remained undeveloped due to its challenging terrain.

In particular, Enchanting Hollow, an area within Mount Rockenan, was deemed unsuitable for any development and was strictly off-limits to tourists.

The cars did not take the road in the scenic area. Instead, they took a country road winding along the mountain path.

After driving for more than two hours, it was already dark. The cement road in the countryside ended, and then there was a bumpy paved road.
