"But it's too bad...I'm going to turn this neat little palace into a mess."
Alex moved methodically through the cave, planting small explosive charges along the walls and ceiling.
As he continued deeper, the narrow passage suddenly widened into an enormous chamber.
And the moment Alex stepped into the room, his jaw dropped in sheer disbelief.
The entire space glowed with a radiant golden light, and it wasn't coming from lamps or magical runes.
The source of the glow was the massive piles of gold coins scattered across the floor, shimmering like liquid sunlight.
Heaps of treasure were stacked as far as his eyes could see, sparkling with an almost hypnotic allure.
Alex whispered, his voice barely audible as he stepped closer, eyes fixed on the nearest mound of coins:
"So much…"
His heart pounded as he crouched down, scooping up a handful of the glittering coins.
