39 Ism Not Lying! (1/2)

Caleb is looking at Leo's back with complex gazed as he realized that his person is truly mysterious because while he was following him from behind. When they passed by a massive clock earlier, he realized in shocked that not even an hour passed since his fight with the mutated monster from when he woke up.

That was the reason why he was looking at Leo with amazed along with a complicated look as he realized how this young man is truly amazing and mysterious because when he regained consciousness he just thought that a few days have already passed since his last battle!

”It means that whatever medicine or thing Leo gave me while I was out immediately mended all of my injuries leaving me with only scars and its effects probably occurred within only a few minutes or maybe even lower!” Caleb thought in astonishment while he followed from behind Leo.

”Just who truly is he? There's no such medical technology that far beyond today! From my knowledge, even our country and the others didn't have that kind of technology that can heal someone from the brink of death! I really wonder what used on me. Just how powerful is the power behind him for them to have that kind of medicinal technology?” questions upon questions popped up in his mind.

The two were silent as they just continued walking in silence as Leo matched his pace with Caleb so that he won't have a hard time catching up.

Suddenly, a sudden realisation hit Caleb's head as he noticed that the path they are going is where the old treasure vault of the royal family but he didn't say anything as he just followed behind as he already figured out that they probably came here looking for something, he just didn't expect that they actually came for that vault.

Leo lead the way towards where Alex is located at based from the map and upon arriving there, what Leo saw was a massive courtyard surrounded by different kind of vegetations like flowers, trees and many more, there's even a table set with chairs probably for relaxation on the side.

Leo was amazed on sometimes how leisurely is a royalty's life here in the palace before. After that Leo looked over where Alex was standing and walked over to him and said ”So, where is it?”

Alex pointed towards the ground and said ”Just below us sir”

Leo then looked at the ground where their standing at and looked up and said ”So, how do we get in then? ”

Alex didn't say anything and pressed his finger at the wall beside him and his finger sunk slowly inside as he pressed something like a button on the wall and after that the ground shook a bit and Leo heard something near him and he saw that a section of the ground is slowly opening up, revealing a staircase leading below.

”As I thought, they really came for this” Caleb smiled as he thought.

”Now that...is awesome” Leo stared at dark staircase leading below in amazement as he only saw a scene of mechanism like this before on a movie.

Leo then walked towards it and immediately saw what looks like light switch. He walked a few steps on the staircase and flipped the switch up as lights appeared illuminating the once dark staircase.

He finally saw what it looks like inside, the stairs leading downwards is surrounded by walls on both sides with lightsource fixed on the walls to light up the way.

Leo then smiled as he started walking down followed by Caleb and lastly Alex who gave a look around the surroundings before following down.

They didn't even bother leaving someone behind to keep a lookout and just the entrance wide open for anyone to come inside. They probably thought that no one would stumble inside this, now desolate palace and even if there was, Leo wouldn't mind giving them hell if they try to pick a fight with them.

As the group of three silently walked deeper through the staircase. Leo was amazed to discover that this place is truly well maintained from the many decades that has passed from when this place was built.

”It seems people have come here recently” Leo said as he noticed that the place is almost spotless clean, actually Leo had expected an underground place like this to be dusty.

Suddenly, Leo heard a strange sound from behind him and he looked back he saw Caleb suppressing his laughter which made him raised an eyebrow and asked strangely ”What are you laughing at? Now that I think about it, you're the Queen's personal knight so you must have known this place already, so what's behind this?” Leo asked him as they finally reached the end of the stairs and what greeted them was a huge metallic door that looks like it was made with bronze. The doors height reaches around nine meters with a width of more or less two meters.

”Well, it's better if you go see it for yourself” Caleb smiled at him.

Leo felt like he was hiding something but he didn't pry further ”Alex, can you go open it?”

”Yes sir” Alex said confident as he went near the door and stood in front of it.

Leo looked on with anticipation of what kind of treasures await inside him and he suddenly saw Alex clenching his fist as a bad feeling suddenly aroused in his heart and hastily said ”Wait! Do-”

BAM~!

Alex punched the door so hard that it immediately cave in before it was sent flying inside for a good five meters.
