With a look of deep frustration plastered on his face, Glaton finally gave in and led Daniel to his private treasure vault.
This vault was located in an extremely concealed area. The items it housed were not ordinary—every one of them was a rare treasure, painstakingly collected by Glaton over several millennia. Each piece was the finest of the fine.
