An Understated Dominance Chapter 1979 –Unexpectedly, after dawn, the lake filled up the entire lake again, completely burying the palace.

She wasn’t sure what was going on inside the lake, so she didn’t venture into the water.

“Ms. Jaden, are you sure there is a treasure hidden under this lake?” Aidan asked again.

“It’s absolutely true; I can swear this!” Sophia said it with determination.

“Okay, then we’ll wait here, and at night, we’ll see what’s going on at the bottom of the lake.” Aidan nodded.

“Mr. Ridge, why do you have to wait until night? Won’t it be better to go down to the lake and explore now?” Garrett suggested.

Everyone knew that monsters were active at night.

Even though it’s calm, once it gets dark, various monsters might appear around the lake. That’s when it became dangerous.

“This lake is so deep that you can’t see the bottom at a glance. If you go down now, you can’t even tell the direction. How can you hunt for treasure?” Aidan said calmly.

“Mr. Ridge, to be honest, my team members have experienced hundreds of battles and are good at various skills. They are also experienced in diving. It is not a bad idea to go down in advance to explore the situation.” Garrett was quite proud.

Although the members of their Black Scorpion Squad were not top-notch in terms of force value, they were all experts in survival; otherwise, Grace would not have spent a lot of money to hire them to lead the way.

“Oh, is it so?”

Aidan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, “If your people can really find the location of the treasure, I can make the decision and give you more treasures!”

“Thank you, Mr. Ridge!” Hearing this, Garrett couldn’t help but look happy. That’s what he wanted.

The Black Scorpion Squad had no advantage over these elites.

If he didn’t work hard, how could he get the treasure?

At this time, Grace suddenly said, “Mr. Wilder, from what I’ve seen, it’s better to wait. No one knows what is hidden at the bottom of this lake. If you enter the water rashly, you will easily encounter danger.”

On the shore, if they bump into any monsters, they still have a chance to escape.

At the bottom of the lake, if they are in danger, there is only one way to die.

“Ms. Linsor, please rest assured. My team members all have more than five years of diving experience and are very familiar with underwater conditions. I believe they can cope with various emergencies.” Garrett was full of confidence.

Naturally, he had ulterior motives for insisting on doing this.

If the treasures were distributed normally, given their status as the Black Scorpion Squad, they wouldn’t be able to get a share at all.

If they explore in advance, they can hide some treasures privately.

Until then, the Black Scorpion Squad will be the biggest winner.

“Since Mr. Wilder is so confident, let’s invite him.” Sophia said it with a half-smile.

“Take two people down to explore the road. If anything happens, report it immediately.” Garrett turned around and winked at the bald man behind him.

They nodded and quickly understood the meaning.

“You two, follow me!”

The bald man ordered two members of the Black Scorpion Squad and walked straight to the lake.

When they arrived at the lake, the three of them took off their clothes, put on their goggles, put their swords in their mouths, and then plunged into the lake with a “dong” sound.

They completely disappeared then.
