Chapter 491 Continue With Your Pretense
“Mr. Mikkelson, is there an abundance of gemstones here?” Isaiah looked at Bruce and asked.
The latter nodded readily. “This place is indeed not too shabby. The entrance to the vein mine should be
in the northwest. Send people to search in that direction!”
“Sure!” Isaiah was over the moon. Once the location is confirmed, finding the entrance to the vein mine is
just a matter of time. It seems like the entire Mount Hickoria will become mine in time to come!
Just as he was thrilled by his thoughts, he noticed another group of people walking out from the jungle.
And within them was none other than Jayden!
Seeing how Jayden had managed to lead his group out while remaining unaffected, the smile on Isaiah’s
face vanished at once.
“H-How did you guys get out?” A look of bewilderment washed over Isaiah’s face.
Simultaneously, Bruce furrowed his brows and asked, “Did someone walk out from there?”
“Yeah, it’s the Snyders! They didn’t get trapped at all! They’ve all managed to get out,” Isaiah responded.

“Isaiah, do you think your illusionary technique is enough to trap us up? How naive of you!” Jayden burst
into a peal of laughter.
“What are you talking about, Jayden? What illusionary technique? I don’t get it at all!” Isaiah pretended
like he did not understand those words.
“Continue with your pretense! The day where you won’t be able to act anymore will come!” Jayden shot a
glare at Isaiah before turning to his subordinate and commanded, “Relay the message; find the entrance
to the vein mine immediately!”
In no time, the Snyders began the search as well. But given that the mountain was so huge, finding the
entrance to the vein mine was not an easy feat.
At the sight of the Snyders searching around blindly and clumsily, Isaiah lifted the corners of his lips into
a mocking grin. We’ve already secured a clear direction. I’m sure the search will be much smoother and
faster for us!
Just then, another commotion broke out from the jungle. What followed was Christopher leading the
Larsons walking out, but unlike the previous group, many of them looked visibly worn out. Not only that,
their headcounts had seemingly decreased by half.
Walking out, he looked at Jayden and Isaiah with a darkened expression. “Which one of you tried to play
dirty and used illusions to set me up?”
Evidently, that revelation had hit him after his group had suffered the impacts.
“Who else other than Isaiah, that lowly scoundrel? We just got out of the jungle too!” Jayden pointed at
Isaiah as he explained.
“Jayden, how dare you accuse me? Did you see it with your eyes? I can say you’re the one who’s
playing all these tricks too! How is it possible that you can walk out so safely if you’ve fallen prey?”
Without a doubt, Isaiah did not want the Snyders and the Larsons to forge an alliance as that would only
put him at a disadvantage.
At that point, the three parties stared at each other cautiously.

Meanwhile, Jared was in a state of exhilaration upon his arrival at the mountain top. He could sense the
immense spiritual energy bubbling upward, almost as though it was erupting through the tip of that
mountain.
There must be plenty of spiritual stone below this place.
“We found it! We found it!” one of the Fergusons suddenly shrieked at the top of his lungs.
At that, everyone ran in the direction where the voice sounded. The sight that became visible was that
member holding onto a pickaxe and standing in front of a small opening that had a diameter of less than
one meter.
As the opening was pitched dark, no one could see what was inside. However, according to past
experiences, they knew they would be able to get to the vein mine if they continued to dig deeper from
that hole.
With the emergence of the entrance to the vein mine, the tension in the air continued to mount. It
seemed almost like a battle would break out any time soon!
“No one can be sure if this is indeed the entrance to the vein mine. It’s purely our guess on whether or
not gemstones are abundant here. Why don’t we join forces and break open this opening to see the
inside before drawing a conclusion?” Christopher suggested to Jayden and Isaiah.
