Chapter 2851“I want one.” Cloud spoke first. He was there to buy the treasure map, so he didn’t waste any time.
Quickly, Cloud handed over one hundred million spirit coins, and in return, Vasker presented him with a
delicately crafted wooden box.
Despite being fined one hundred million spirit coins earlier, Cloud had no trouble producing another
hundred million. This display of wealth was a testament to the resources of Stellaris Sect.
“I’ll take one too…”
“Count me in…”
One after another, those who had come to purchase the treasure map paid their coins. However, each
of them received only a wooden box. No one openly checked the contents to see if these boxes really
contained a treasure map, showing that they trusted Vasker.
After obtaining the treasure map and before leaving, Cloud threatened Jared, “Kid, just you wait! You’ll
get it!”
The others followed suit. As Beau departed, he glanced at Jared and said, “Jared, I’m leaving you a
communication device. If you need help, don’t hesitate to contact me.”
Once everyone else left, only Jared’s group remained in the living hall. Vasker turned his attention to
Jared and asked, “Are you interested? If not, feel free to leave.”
“I want one, of course,” Jared replied. He handed over one hundred million spirit coins to Vasker. In
return, he received a wooden box just like the others.
Jared, however, didn’t hesitate to open the box. Inside was a parchment scroll, on which there was a
map, and a detailed map route was marked out. Only the part where the exact location of the treasurewas marked was missing. The clarity of the route indicated that Vasker had freshly reprinted it.
“Is this treasure map genuine?” Jared asked while holding the map. “As I said, if you don’t believe it,
you can refrain from purchasing it. I can refund your money right now,” Vasker said.
“No need. I was just asking casually,” Jared said and kept the treasure map. “As a member of the
Archaic Body Cultivation clan, why would you sell your ancestors’ treasure map? It’s your clan’s
treasure.”
“Since you’ve obtained the map, you can leave. I won’t answer your questions,” Vasker replied and
turned to leave. Jared suddenly stood up and grabbed Vasker’s shoulder.
Vasker was taken aback. “What do you think you’re doing? This is Jipsdale. If you dare make a move
on me, you might find it hard to escape the consequences.”
“I won’t lay a finger on you. I just want to ask why you are selling the treasure map. Where did this
treasure map come from?”
“I told you I won’t answer your questions. Let go of me immediately, or I’ll call the guards!” Vasker
threatened Jared.
“Do you think I’m afraid of the guards?” Jared sneered and reached for Vasker’s mask. Shocked,
Vasker tried to block Jared’s hand, but he was no match for Jared’s speed. In an instant, Vasker’s mask
was removed.
Seeing Vasker’s face after he was unmasked, Jared was stunned as the man bore a striking
resemblance to Vasily, with only slight differences in their features.
“If you don’t want the treasure map, I can refund your money. Why did you remove my mask?” Vasker
quickly snatched his mask and put it back on.“How are you related to Vasily?” Jared asked. Upon hearing the name Vasily, Vasker visibly. trembled,
but he quickly composed himself and said, “What are you talking about? I don’t know anyone named
Vasily.”
“Don’t lie to me. You and Vasily look almost identical. You’re saying you don’t know him?” Jared’s
expression grew serious, and he once again grabbed Vasker’s shoulder. “Tell me, how did you get this
treasure map, and why are you selling it?”
