Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 527  Hidden Secrets

Fall back!"

"What? Really fall back?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Fall back! Fall back!"

The soldiers and archeologists from Britannia were so happy that they almost broke character, wanting to hug themselves to death. Many from the other countries looked at them with jealousy before looking at their leaders as though asking if their leader wanted them to die by going in now.

Some leaders scoffed, thinking these Britannia people were so chicken-hearted. No doubt the first person to succeed would get a raise for their meticulous job and service. There was greed for the treasures and greed for power too. Several leaders stared at the scene in disgust, not wanting to follow Britannia's example. For them, the mighty Britannia was now momentarily out of the race. These leaders continued making plans for their upcoming raids and assaults which would take place several hours from now. On the other hand, some chose to follow Britannia's actions, choosing to halt their operations for the time being too. Seeing this, Harvey and Ashaku released heavy sighs of relief with tactful eyes. But soon, their eyes were bombarded with a high-pitched squeal they were now very familiar with. Oh no, not this annoying brat again. "What? You dare stop the raids without my permission?"

Eldora stared at the General menacingly, swearing to call her daddy and report the son of a bitch when she gets her phone back. What about her glorious return? What about her rise to fame she had dreamy of? If they back down now and allow someone else to break through during this time, do you what he eventually stood to lose? Sure, she didn't know the first thing about Archeology, despite graduating well ahead of her peers with honors. What could she say? Money made the world go round. Like a fire-breathing dragon, she barked loudly while pointing her trembling fingers at the General. "Do you know I can have your job for this? Who the hell do you think you are to give orders without my consent? I--"

"Shut up!" Like everyone else, the General had enough of her ranting. It was as hot as the boiling water, and just her high-pitched voice alone was giving him headaches. The woman made him wish he was deaf.

What's more, who raised her in such a mannerless way? How dare she yell at him, a full-grown man in the presence of the other countries and his men? Since he got here, he has seen her lash out at the archeologists and several others. He felt it was ridiculous but said nothing. However, now that her madness is directed at him, it is a whole other matter. So what if her father was super rich and famous?

Do you know how many military merits he has? Do you think they can just do away with him just because of a single word from her? Sorry, things in the military don't work the same way as things in the corporate world. Getting rid of a highly decorated General like himself was not that simple. Heh. Throwing his head back, the General turned his attention to his subordinate, Hitchcoff. "Take her away… It seems Miss Eldora isn't feeling too well."

Seeing the General's sneer, Eldora's face lit as though she couldn't believe it. "You-you-you…" She couldn't even make a single sentence, as visible shock overwhelmed her completely. "What? Get your filthy hands away from me? How dare you grab me? Do you know who my father is? Do you know what he can do?"

My father, my father, my father… The female soldiers grabbing her rolled their eyes, disgusted to have her as part of their country's female congregation. Are you not ashamed to keep flaunting your father's success here and there? Where is yours? Apart from cheating and shooting like a shrewd, what other attributes do you have that make you stand out? After spending this short time with Eldora, they understood that she knew nothing of the profession she claimed she graduated from. What's more, she had a stinky attitude, treating everyone like dirt. Gripping her a little firmer than usual, they hurled her away to her tent, planning to confine her to the space and stay guard, ensuring she didn't leave her tent until she was feeling 'better.'

Look… aren't they a caring bunch?

(\^π^/)

"No! No! You can't do this to me! Are you listening, you bloody motherf**ker? You let me go right now, and I swear I will forgive you!" "Bastards! Let me go now!" …

Like that, Eldora was dragged away in an unladylike manner, with her feet kicking heaps of sand in the air and her head desperately shaking from side to side. Can you imagine if someone took a picture of her now and sent it online? The beauty who was a goddess in the hearts of many who didn't know her would be shocked to the bone. Tsk. Deserve it!

Harvey, Ashaku, and several others clicked their tongues, satisfied by the General's way of handling things. At least for the time being, they won't have to face the woman's crazy screams anymore. Separating themselves from the others, Harvey and Ashaku calmly walked towards Ashaku's tent, thinning their lips hard. The General looked at their fading silhouettes and frowned. "They are hiding something." "You think so too, right, General?" Dr. Miguel's voice echoed out behind the General. He and Ashaku were good friends and rivals.

He and Ashaku worked hard to find the Tomb's entrance earlier. After Ashaku came out from the tomb, his good friend and rival always seemed to love being in a daze. It was odd… Too odd. Hitchcoff thoughtfully pushed his glasses in. "General, why don't we follow them?" With a deep gaze, the General massaged his bearded chin, "Follow." Harvey has been too distracted, and wasn't vigilant against them. Just like Ashaku, he seemed to have too much on his mind.

So yes. Why not follow? Everyone's muscles tender, feeling their heart rate accelerate. No one felt guilty for suspiciously cornering the duo. According to the reports on these 2 men on the General's desk, it's clear that they have loved their lives not valuing wealth that much. So it must not be greed that lets them hold off reporting anything important. From character analysis and past work reports, these 2 were good men, and probably had their reasons for hiding whatever it was they were hiding. To them, it seemed these 2 were rather afraid of something. The General had to say that it was a fear that almost unmanned them, especially Ashaku. But what is it?

Every scientific possibility flooded their brains but they just couldn't figure it out. All they could conclude was that the animal down there was far more dangerous than they could ever imagine. "We follow quietly."

"Right." All 3 men nodded tactfully, before resuming their stance and acting normally. They also didn't want those around them to know of their actions. Time flies by very fast. Although the sun was still hot, it was already 7:39 PM, and dinner time was here. Many were walking around the camps, heading for the food tent to grab a bite. They can drive back to the city, which is quite a good distance from here. They can do that but would risk getting first-hand information about their competitors from the other Countries stationed here in tents. Don't forget that this was a competition for the treasures, so no one was ready to go. Even if The General decided they wouldn't be going into the tomb anytime soon they still had to colonize their camp zone because if they left, someone else would take this amazing spot that was right in front of the tomb. No way!

This was great class-A front-row seat experience here, so how dare they abandon it?

Again, even if they send teams to get supplies from the city they must make sure that the team that stays back is great in number or else they will just be bullied and pushed over to another camping location by the hungry wolves preying on their spot. . Seeing that the duo had chosen to skip dinner and head for a private talk, the trip knew this was the right time to corner them. Others were heading for dinner and they immediately split up, choosing to appear in different locations, eventually surrounding the tent. Second, by second, they made good use of their time, until soon, they spotted each other closing in from different directions. So far, so good. Perhaps because of the heaviness in Harvey's heart, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings, hardly sensing anyone approaching. Even if he heard a thing, he might brush it off as others are going for meals. After all, if someone stopped too close to the tent, a thick shadowy silhouette of the person would form on the tent's walls. The General and the others had already thought of that, which was why they had Hitchcoff wall casually, dropping a mix close to their tent.

Hitchcoff seemed very prepared, as he has long wanted to listen in on everything the duo said over these past few days. However, without authorization, he couldn't do it. But now, he can finally listen in. Hitchcoff smiled, pushing his glasses in while listening to the headpiece in his ears. What big secrets are you hiding?
