    "You''d know when you get here!" Tigris cried and hung up before Frank could ask for details.


    "What''s wrong?" Lara asked, though she could tell that something was wrong too. "Sylvie will be fine alone. Let''s go back together!"


    Frank nodded, and they were soon back at the nds.


    Before they arrived, they could hear noisy footsteps but found nothing when they went closer!


    They soon found Tigris and his men huddled together outside the tents, looking around while trembling.novelbin


    "What happened?" Frank asked, hurrying toward him.


    Tigris almost broke into tears. "Can''t you hear the footsteps? They''re so close, but we can''t see anyone! This ce is really haunted!"


    His men were all nodding and sweating down their backs.


    "Haunted? Not likely!"


    Frank did not believe in the paranormal.


    But he did hear footsteps... Could it be...?!


    "Wait, no... Someone must have entered the tomb!" Frank eximed in realization that the footsteps wereing from beneath the ground, meaning that someone had found another entrance!


    "The tomb? Well, what should we do?" Tigris asked.


    "Wait up here. I''m going down for a look!" Frank said.


    "Me too!" Lara eximed, stilltching onto Frank and entering the hole with him.

    Frank smiled and ignored her as he followed the direction in which the ring was pointing.


    On the other end, a handful of thugs carrying shlights were advancing into the tomb too.


    Some of them were terrified, however, at the sight of chunks of earth dropping endlessly from the roof.


    One of them asked, "Are we sure about this, boss? If this ce copses, we''d be buried here!"


    The blonde leader rolled his eyes at


    him. "Quit jinxing us! It''s not

    copsing, and you must make sacrifices to get rich anyway! It''s a risk we have to take for the artifacts! Just think about the car you''d be buying if you manage to pawn it off for a good price!"


    The thugs were suddenly not afraid, at the thought of getting rich. "Look, boss!"


    Just as they calmed down, an emerald glow shone just ahead.


    The thugs turned to see that it was Frank and Lara, with the former

    "Don''t you think you''re overreaching, kid?" Blondieughed. "There''s so many of us. You''d never win!"


    Lara actually smiled, rolling up her sleeves and assuming a fighting stance. "Is that so? Thene y with me!" "Don''tin that we''re using numbers when you lose, bitch! Get them!"


    Blondie then nced at one of the thugs beside him who whipped out his metal bat, yelling as he charged forward. When he got close, Laraunched a perfect side kick, knocking the thug into the war as dirt rained down on him! "A martial elite?!" Blondie eximed in shock but quickly told the others, "Don''t go alone! nk them!"
