## Chapter 576 – 576. Ancient Mystery
I turned around.
Bruno, Amy, and Mac were all staring at me with shocked expressions.
I had killed all ten of them in three minutes by myself. Even with a gun, it was an unbelievably fast speed. The opponents weren’t children, but trained combatants.
“If anyone is thinking about burying the bodies, give up now. The Alcheri organization seems bigger than we thought, so these guys probably aren’t all of them. If we dawdle here, more will come. Let’s move.”
“I agree with you on that. It’s… unfortunate that they died, but we can’t just let ourselves be killed.”
We started moving through the jungle again.
Mac seemed a little scared of me, while Amy looked at me with interest, not fear.
“So, the nickname ‘crazy monster’ is confirmed. Are you even human? Or are you a psychic?”
“I’m human. Do you regret hiring me?”
“Regret? I think it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. If you’re around, we won’t get shot by those guys. And…”
Bruno continued in a small voice.
“I’ll say it again, please take care of Amy.”
“I’ll protect Amy even if it means abandoning Mr. Bruno, so don’t worry.”
“…Please don’t abandon me if you can help it.”
***
After wandering through the jungle for ten days, we finally reached our destination.
It was a waterfall area flowing from a huge cliff. The waterfall alone seemed to be at least 30 meters high. It was much smaller than the world’s three major waterfalls, but it was still a waterfall that made people feel awe.
“This is a problem.”
Bruno rubbed his head as if he was in trouble.
“What is it?”
“I’m not fond of water. I can go into the water if I have to… but it’s very unpleasant. I’d avoid it if I could.”
“Do we have to go into the water? The treasure might be hidden in the ground nearby.”
“That’s unlikely. The map points to the waterfall, so why would they bury it in the nearby ground? And actually, what we’re looking for isn’t a treasure. The map Amy has points to one of the three keys. Well, that means we have to go on at least two more adventures.”
“…Can’t we call for help?”
“The fewer people who know, the safer the treasure is.”
We had to explore the wide waterfall. And we found it. Or rather, I, who knew from the original story, pretended to find it after playing around for three hours.
“Mr. Bruno! I found it! There’s a space behind the waterfall.”
“Where… I can see it clearly with the binoculars. Good job, Eugene. But we’ll have to swim to get inside. The boat we prepared exploded with the plane… Damn it.”
“I’ll go.”
“Huh? There’s no need for that. I can just go quickly and get the key.”
“You said you don’t like water. And I’m physically more capable than you, Mr. Bruno.”
“…If you say so, I’ll ask you to do it.”
Bruno gave me a grateful look.
Of course, I stepped forward because I had an ulterior motive.
“I’ll go too.”
Amy stepped forward and said.
“Amy, you too?”
“I want to see with my own eyes what kind of place the treasure key is in. And it’s better to have two people than one, right?”
“It’s much better to have a companion when it’s dangerous. Okay. Mac and I will watch over you from here.”
Amy and I took off our clothes. It was to make our bodies lighter. I took off my top completely, and Amy was only wearing pants and a black tank top. If you looked closely, you could see that the center of her C-cup breasts was slightly raised. Nipples.
‘The others don’t even care. Are they all eunuchs? Is that level of exposure nothing in this world?’
Amy and I jumped into the river and started moving. Of course, we took minimal equipment such as jungle knives, pistols, and ropes.
Amy led the way, and I followed behind her. It was kind of fun to watch her legs splashing in the water.
‘Her butt is firm, and her pussy is thick. Her clothes are sticking to her because they’re wet… Hmm… She’s hot.’
We stopped swimming for a moment in front of the waterfall.
“Amy, the current is a bit strong. Should I go first?”
“This is nothing. It’s darker inside. You have to support me well from behind.”
“Don’t worry. You saw my skills a while ago, right?”
“…Yeah. I trust your skills.”
Amy swam. I wished something like a convenient accident would happen so that Amy and I could get closer, but other than the fact that holding my breath was a little difficult, we arrived safely at the space inside the waterfall without any problems.
It was too artificial a space to be called a cave.
The floor was flat, and the walls were covered with unknown patterns. As Bruno asked, I took out the camera I had prepared and roughly took pictures of the patterns on the wall while stealing glances at Amy’s body. Her sexy and firm figure was revealed as her clothes clung to her body because they were wet.
She was silently staring at one of the walls.
There was a stone piece that was originally circular in a hole in the wall. Since there was nothing else to take, it looked like that was our target. It looked a bit different from a key, but there was nothing else to take.
Amy walked towards the wall.
I immediately took out my gun and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
“Kieeeek!”
A 1-meter-sized spider that had been quietly aiming at Amy from the dark ceiling was shot and fell to the floor.
“What?!”
Amy, startled by the spider, stepped back.
“You have to look not only in front and behind, but also above.”
The spider’s legs twitched. It didn’t die even though the bullet had hit its body properly.
I pressed the trigger. The pistol spat fire, and the slide moved back and forth, ejecting the shell casings.
“I didn’t know there would be a monster spider like this. Amy, did you know?”
“…I heard from Mr. Bruno that there are many undiscovered creatures in this world. But I didn’t think there would be a giant spider like this. Are there any other spiders?”
“No.”
She grabbed the stone piece in the wall and pulled it out. Immediately after, water began to rise rapidly from the floor.
“What is this?!”
“Why are you standing there blankly? It’s obviously a trap. Let’s go.”
I subtly put my arm around her waist and went into the water. The feeling of her body touching mine was nice. Amy struggled for a moment at first, but in the end, she had no choice but to grab my body and swim out due to the urgent situation.
“I could have swum by myself even without your help.”
“You got out in the end, so that’s all that matters. What’s the big deal.”
We successfully found the first key. But we still had a long way to go. We had only obtained one of the three keys.
***
The next place we headed to after the waterfall was a mountain in China. We thought it would be smooth sailing since Alcheri wasn’t interfering, but an accident that wasn’t in the original story occurred. While climbing the mountain, we encountered three bears. A mother bear and her cubs.
The mother bear, who was sensitive because of her cubs, attacked us. I tried to kill them immediately, but Bruno and Amy stopped me, so I had no choice but to run away.
In the process, Amy and I got separated from Bruno and were stranded. Mac didn’t climb the mountain.
“Amy, how’s your ankle?”
“It’s not serious. I can move if I try to move right now.”
“That means it hurts when you walk. Get on my back.”
“When you’re stranded in the mountains, it’s best to stay still and call for rescue.”
“The animals in the mountains will think of us as good food if we stay still. This place isn’t suitable for resting due to the terrain. Let’s move first.”
“…Hah. Okay.”
I carried Amy on my back. I supported her between her butt and thighs with my hands. The firm and smooth feeling was nice.
I carried her for a while and rested in a suitable place. In the process, we had various conversations and got closer to Amy. Now, she even giggles at my silly jokes.
“Eugene! Amy! Are you okay?! I was worried!”
“We’re fine.”
“Yes. I’m fine. Except for a slight ankle sprain.”
“You two seem to be in a good mood. Well, anyway, I’ve recovered the second key. It was stuck in a large tree root at the top. The problem is the location of the third key, which I learned by interpreting the map this time… I think we need a meeting. First, we need to call a rescue helicopter.”
We couldn’t go to find the third key right away.
That’s because Alcheri was stationed where the third key was. If we approached recklessly, we would be caught and tortured by Alcheri.
While Bruno was investigating the location of the third key, I was carrying out my bodyguard duties for Amy. Thanks to that, I was able to get much closer to Amy.
I judged that we were close enough, so I confessed to Amy.
“Amy, I like you. I want to date you. I’m really not interested in your wealth. I like you purely. I’ll even write a contract if you want.”
“…What do you like about me?”
“Your pretty face and cool personality.”
“…Okay. Let’s date. But only dating. I have no intention of marrying you.”
“Amy, I’m satisfied with that.”
I hugged Amy. And slowly lifted her cheek and kissed her lips. Amy closed her eyes and grabbed my arm tightly. My tongue and her tongue intertwined.
I couldn’t be satisfied with just a kiss.
My hands moved towards Amy’s chest and butt. I grabbed her soft breasts that filled my hands, and just as my hand was about to go into the thick pussy between her butt cheeks, she pushed me away.
“I only allow kisses. I can let you touch my breasts too. But no sex.”
“…Why? We’re dating.”
“Because you’re not the man I’m going to marry.”
“Virginity before marriage?”
“I’m not that inflexible. You’re not the person I’m going to marry, so you’re not a sex partner. If you don’t like it, break up with me.”
“……”
I was speechless at Amy’s confident words.
Amy chuckled at my blank expression, kissed me on the lips, and left.
“See you tomorrow.”
“…Okay. Amy. See you tomorrow.”
I wasn’t disappointed. Instead of being disappointed, I was thinking about how to get Amy into bed.
‘The answer is… physical contact. I need to stimulate her libido by making frequent physical contact. Fortunately, she allows me to kiss her and touch her breasts. But thinking about it, she’s a funny one. She lets me touch her breasts but not her pussy.’
***
The location of the third key was one of the small islands in the United States.
The problem was that Alcheri had already taken control of the island.
“Alcheri. Those guys also knew about the keys. They know that the path to true mystery will open when all three keys are gathered. The reason why they didn’t do anything when they knew we were going to the mountain in China to find the second key is because they knew we would come to this island to find the third key.”
“Can’t we go a little easier? Hire some people… or ask for cooperation from the government.”
“The government is as untrustworthy as Alcheri. And our goal is the keys, not Alcheri. There’s no reason to fight Alcheri. Fortunately, we succeeded in persuading one of Alcheri’s members. We found the exact location of the third key and a secret passage to enter the base.”
“I have a bad feeling about this. …What’s the plan?”
“Eugene, I need your help. While you create a commotion on the island to draw Alcheri’s attention, we will move quickly and steal the third key.”
Amy, who had been listening to Bruno’s words, slammed her palm on the table and stood up.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Bruno. That means you’re telling Eugene to be the bait!”
My lover was getting angry on my behalf.
“This is the best we can do. According to the traitor, Alcheri already knows our personal information. They’re almost ready to move to kill us. After finding the treasure, we’ll ask the government for help and get rid of Alcheri completely. Amy, with your and my connections, it’s possible.”
The reason why we didn’t inform the government first and ask for help is because the government would definitely try to take the treasure. So, we’re trying to move the government after finding the treasure first.
“……”
“Amy, Eugene’s skills will allow him to hold out.”
“Mr. Bruno is right, Amy. Your goal is to find the real hidden treasure. You also know that the third key is essential for that. I can do it. Amy.”
“……”
Amy sighed deeply and sat down in her chair.
