Chapter 5 - Chapter Five

"Let her go!" Jax roared as he struggled to break free from the men in black who were surrounding him and rushed towards the one who had grabbed Lisa.

The woman also took the opportunity to use all her strength and knocked down several of the men in black.

Just at this critical moment, a bright light suddenly appeared, illuminating the whole room. Everyone was blinded by this sudden burst of light.

As the light gradually faded, everyone finally saw clearly that a mysterious old man had appeared at the doorway.

The old man had bright eyes and emitted a powerful aura.

"Stop it all!" The old man shouted loudly.

Seeing this, the men in black stopped their actions one after another.

Jax protected Lisa and looked warily at the old man.

The old man slowly began to speak: "This dispute ends here."

Lisa asked in confusion: "Why? What on earth is going on?"

The old man was silent for a moment and then said: "This is an ancient secret that is closely related to your fates."

The old man sighed slightly and began to recount that long-forgotten past.

It turned out that there was a huge treasure hidden in this castle, and various forces were vying for it.

The arrival of Jax and Lisa had broken the original balance.

After listening to the old man's account, Jax and Lisa looked at each other in astonishment.

Lisa frowned and asked: "So what should we do?"

The old man looked at them, a flash of determination in his eyes: "You must find the treasure to quell this dispute."

Jax clenched his fists: "But we don't even know where the treasure is."

The old man smiled mysteriously: "The clues are in the castle."

So, Jax, Lisa, and the woman decided to start looking for clues to the treasure under the guidance of the old man.

They searched through every room in the castle, not missing a single corner.

Finally, in an ancient study, Lisa discovered a yellowed diary.

Jax hurried over to look at the diary together with her.

The diary contained some strange symbols and a blurry map.

They tried hard to decipher this information, attempting to find the location of the treasure from it.

After some research, they seemed to have found some leads.

Following the hints in the diary, they came to the basement of the castle.

The basement was dark, damp, and smelled of decay.

In the basement, they walked carefully.

Suddenly, a huge rat darted past their feet, and Lisa screamed in fright.

Jax comforted her and continued to look for clues to the treasure.

They found a hidden door in a corner of the basement.

Jax pushed the hidden door open with force, and an old smell hit them in the face.

Behind the door was a narrow passage that led to an unknown destination.
