Mysterious Artifact

The black-hooded man took a deep breath, his trembling finger pointing towards the lifeless woman's corpse. "This woman, sir, is actually the boss's wife," he began, his voice quivering with fear.

Liang's interest was piqued slightly, his piercing gaze narrowing with curiosity. He studied the woman's lifeless form for a moment, his eyes gleaming with a mix of curiosity and suspicion. "Go on," he urged, his tone cold and demanding.

Feeling a glimmer of hope, the man's mind raced, desperately trying to think of something else that might captivate Liang's attention. "Around ten years ago, the boss stumbled upon an artifact while venturing into the deepest tunnels," he continued, his voice barely above a whisper. "After obtaining this artifact, the boss's power rose magnificently, surpassing even that of the Lustrous Scribes High Priest."
