The sudden emergence of numerous forces disrupted Yonah's plans completely.

"It's getting more lively." Aidan raised an eyebrow and finally leaped down from the tree. It seemed like

he couldn't stay aloof any longer.

"Jackson, it's getting chaotic here. Let's hold back for now and let them battle it out.

"We'll capitalize on the situation once they engage in their deadly struggles," Sophia whispered as she

huddled next to Jackson.

Given her current predicament, a direct confrontation with these forces would lead her nowhere.

Unwilling to give up, she could only hope for the right opportunity to gain some of the treasures.

"I understand. Stand behind me later. I'll make sure to protect you!" Jackson promised.

The combined forces of the Embersteel Order and Harmony Sect were merely a few people, making

them relatively weak. Engaging the stronger forces head-on was clearly unwise at the moment.

"Brothers! There's treasure here! Let's go grab it!" Suddenly, someone shouted, breaking the tense

standoff.

Two forces simultaneously sprang into action, leaping into the lakebed and charging towards the

palace from both sides.

It was clear that they aimed to seize the opportunity and be the first to claim the treasure.

With more individuals than treasures available, being slow meant leaving empty-handed. Naturally,

those lacking patience found it hard to stand back.

"Damn it! We can't let them get ahead. Charge forward!" With the first two forces taking the lead, the

entire situation plunged into chaos.

Successive waves of forces surged forward, making a beeline for the palace entrance.

No one knew the extent of the treasure within, so everyone was determined to grab whatever they

could. Staying idle meant risking getting nothing in the end.

"Yonah! What's the plan? If those guys make off with a substantial amount of treasure, all our previous

efforts will be for nothing!" Bran clenched his fists, his impatience palpable.

While hoping for an effortless reward, the current circumstances appeared dire.

With hundreds, or even thousands, of people rushing into the palace, if they all seized the treasures

and fled, what would they do?

"Fuck! We're not waiting any longer! Seize the treasures!" After a brief moment of hesitation, Yonah

could no longer resist and led the disciples of the Drakes Dominion Order forward.

"Frostwing Sect, follow me!" Bran closely trailed behind, afraid of falling behind.

"Ms. Linsor, it's time we make a move as well. Otherwise, it'll be too late," Garrett urged, anxious about

Grace's inaction.

If all the treasures were taken, their efforts would have been in vain.

"There's no rush. We'll let them fight among themselves first," Grace responded calmly, unperturbed.

It was crucial to remain calm. The more anxious they were, the more likely things would go wrong.

"Ms. Linsor, I understand that you're trying to take advantage of what's happening, but it's too chaotic.

If we don't act soon, we might just end up with nothing." Garett urged.

"Be patient. I know what I'm doing." Grace remained unfazed.

Garett grew anxious at her reaction, but there was nothing he could do. The Black Scorpion Squad had

only five members left.

Without the protection of Grace's large army, they wouldn't be able to grab anything if they rushed into

the fray recklessly. They would be placing themselves at a huge disadvantage instead.

"Quick! Stop them! Don't let them enter the palace!"

"Damn it! I'll kill you for blocking my path to riches!"

"Brothers! To arms!"

As various forces converged upon the palace, clashes erupted, with each faction unwavering in their

resolve.

Battle cries and wretched screams filled the air. For a moment, the ground was littered with bodies, and

blood flowed like a river.
