It had been six days since Adams returned to the camp. During this period of time, he had hardly left his tent. Occasionally, he would get Vivian to give out some Zerg meat so as to prevent Garen and the others from revealing that they were carrying a lot of fruits.

On the morning of the seventh day, Adams finally walked out of the camp with a rolled-up map in his hand. His gaze was filled with confidence.

“Is everyone ready? Today might be the day of our return!” Adams asked everyone in the camp loudly while tapping the map against his palm. Everyone noticed the map in his hand at the same time.

Just when everyone was wondering what was going on, Vivian made her way over to Adams with a fawning smile and asked, “Sir Adams, may I ask what you’re holding in your hand? Is it the treasure you mentioned to me?”

Upon hearing the word ‘treasure’, everyone’s ears pricked up involuntarily. Needless to say, the members of the Glorious Association had worried expressions on their faces, while the others were filled with curiosity.

Adams looked at Vivian with a smug expression, and said arrogantly, “This map is the treasure that will allow me to settle down comfortably, but you guys don’t have to know too much!”

After saying that, Adams stored the map in his quantum ring.

When they saw this the people in the camp who were stunned, could only suppress the curiosity in their hearts and go forward to flatter Adams.

Only Garen and the other members of the Glorious Association gathered together in confusion. They looked at Adams and Vivian and discussed in bewilderment.

“Hey! Did you guys notice that Miss Vivian is a little strange today? When has she ever been so submissive to Big Brother? It doesn’t seem like her style!”

“Not just Miss Vivian. Big Brother is also behaving weirdly. He seems so smug!”

“Do you guys think that there’s something going on? Could it be that Big Brother and Miss Vivian have encountered some trouble and are using that to hint to us?”

Listening to his Brothers’ discussion, Garen was the most clear-headed and said, “Don’t make wild guesses. Who can cause trouble for our Big Brother here? Are you implying that Big Brother hasn’t shown himself for so many days because he has been hiding in his tent and sleeping? Everyone, just wait and see. I think Big Brother is preparing to trick people. I just wonder for whom has he spent so many days preparing a trap for!”

Andre, who couldn’t stand Garen the most, couldn’t help but retort, “I think you’re defaming Big Brother Adams. He’s a straightforward and upright person. How could he possibly scheme against someone else?!”

Garen smiled confidently. “Let’s wait and see!”

Swoosh!

At that moment, two pillars of light suddenly appeared in the sky and landed right in the center of the camp.

Everyone, including Adams, looked at the beam of light with excitement. They all knew that this was the Gate of Hope.

Looking at the pillars of light, Vivian hurriedly said, “The teleportation portal that brings us back is different from the teleportation array that brought us here. It can’t send that many people back at the same time, so we can only send everyone back one by one. Additionally, there will be an interval of three to five minutes in between!”

Adams immediately made arrangements and said, “Everyone, line up in an orderly manner. Let the brothers who have been staying in the camp go back first!”

“Yes!”

The members of the Glorious Association immediately responded. They obediently stood on the spot and waited.

“Thank you. Thank you, Sir Adams. Thank you, everyone. We will head back first then!” The people who had suffered enough over here quickly stood up and thanked him profusely. They could not wait to enter the teleportation portal.

After the last outsider left, Adams waved his hand to gesture for the brothers of the Glorious Association to come closer.

“Everyone, listen up. I might be in some trouble when we get back, so try your best to pretend that we don’t know each other. After completing the mission evaluation, we’ll all go into hiding. At the same time, we’ll need a hidden place for us to gather in secret. Do any of you have a suitable place?” Adams said to everyone while seeking their help.

Andre volunteered, “My family has a small fortune, and I also have a few properties under my name. One of them is far away from the downtown area, and it can be used as a place for everyone to gather!”

Adams nodded and said, “All right! However, we need to make sure that it is safe. Think of a way to transfer the house to Angus’ name. In the future, Angus will be our point of contact!”

“Yes!”

Andre and Angus responded in unison.

After that, Adams gave a few more instructions to everyone before asking them to leave.

On the mother planet of the human race, the Yato Planet, there were hundreds of city states that belonged to three different Empires.

Lion City, which belonged to the Inoyad Empire, was about to welcome an important day today. The young people who had participated in the coming-of-age ceremony were about to return!

To a city, constantly having outstanding young people rise above others in the coming-of-age ceremony and obtain the qualifications to become a cultivator, was the capital for the city to continuously grow and develop. Therefore, every city viewed the coming-of-age ceremony as something that was extremely important!

Lion City was no exception. Therefore, the level-four archmage, Jayce, who was second only to the City Lord, personally attended and presided over the welcome-home ceremony.

Looking at the teleportation array that rose in front of him, Archmage Jayce could not help but rub his hands. He had always been on good terms with the Wester family in the city, and he had watched Young Master Anthony grow up like he was his biological nephew.

Hence, Archmage Jayce was looking forward to Anthony’s performance.

“That child will definitely be able to complete the missions. Let’s just see how many talents he has recruited for the Wester family this time!’ Jayce thought to himself.

Just then, the first figure walked out of the teleportation portal. He had only taken two steps before he collapsed to the ground. Someone immediately ran forward to examine his injuries.

“Report! Serious malnutrition, and some psychological trauma!” The medical staff turned to report to Jayce.

“Report! We’ve checked his quantum ring. There’s nothing inside!” a military personnel reported.

Jayce shook his head and casually waved his hand. Without any expression on his face, he said, “Carry him away!”

Those who could not complete their missions could only be civilians of the city and there was nothing to look forward to with them.

After that, a few more people walked out of the teleportation portal one after another. Some of them could barely stay awake, while others were spouting crazy nonsense. The only similarity was that none of them had completed their missions.

Jayce calmly let out a sigh. He was already used to situations like these.

Suddenly, another figure walked out from the teleportation array. This person looked different from the previous few people who looked miserable. This person had a plump body and a ruddy complexion. He looked refreshed, as if he had just returned from a trip.

“I’m Garen Hunter! I’m here to hand in my coming-of-age ceremony missions!” The fatso said proudly as he looked at the crowd.

“And me, Andre Hudson! Handing in my missions for the coming-of-age ceremony!” Immediately after, a figure appeared behind Garen and arrogantly pushed him aside. He handed over his mission list and the corresponding mission materials to the military personnel.

Jayce, who was standing at the side, carefully sized up Garen and Andre. He couldn’t help but silently nod his head, his eyes filled with admiration as he exclaimed inwardly, “Not bad! These two people don’t have the ability to complete the missions. Looks like Anthony must have secretly helped them. This child really didn’t let me down!”
