World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 237 - 122 Guardian

Dane, after seizing the Shield, didn’t linger for even a moment and immediately left the room.

He sprinted all the way until he stopped in front of a collapsed pitch-black building.

This was evidently a granary that had been burned down.

Dane held the Shield in his hand, his gaze fixed on the building before him, his eyes filled with desolation and loneliness.

Raindrops fell on him, sliding down his sharp-angled face and entering the collar of his shirt, yet he seemed oblivious.

"Father, rest assured, I will find your killer and avenge you! No matter what it is!"

Staring at the place that buried his loved ones, Dane once more firmed his resolve to uncover the true culprit.

Just then, as if sensing something, he abruptly raised his head and looked towards his side.

"Who’s there!?"

Following his gaze, not far from him stood two figures, silently watching him.

Dane’s pupils shrank.

These two seemed a bit out of the ordinary...

The reason he instantly had this thought was due to the fact that the other party’s attire was indeed somewhat unusual.

From their shapes, it wasn’t hard to tell that the two of them were a male-female duo.

Both of them wore hoods, one clad in a purple-black robe, while the other was dressed in a bizarre, pure white outfit.

Raindrops that fell on them instantly rolled off, and though they stood in the rain, not a single water stain could be seen on their clothes.

What surprised Dane the most was that the man’s purple-black robe seemed to emit a faint silver glow, with a Galaxy pattern on it that appeared to have come to life, flowing quietly.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Dane’s facial expression was beginning to show confusion and uncertainty.

At this moment, Sam also ran out of the house, following his brother all the way here.

In his hand, he carried a broad umbrella, walking over to cover Dane with it, saying, "Dane, have you lost your mind? How could you do this? Come back with me now!"

He had only spoken halfway when he too saw the two people standing not far away.

"Hm? Who are they?"

Sam looked them over and asked, "Who are you? Are you guests here for the auction? The auction isn’t over yet, please return to the house for now, and don’t wander around."

He had noticed the other party’s clothing but didn’t think too much of it, assuming it was some kind of exotic fluorescent dress.

The rain was getting heavier at that moment, with a "whooshing" sound that seemed to dominate the world around them.

However, all they received in response was a prolonged silence.

Sam frowned slightly, his lips moved faintly, about to speak again, but then he heard a clear and pleasant female voice from across.

"Watchmen..."

The girl’s voice was melodious and touching, blending with the sound of the rain, giving an almost ethereal sensation.

"Hmm? What?"

The two brothers exchanged glances, both appearing somewhat astonished, unsure if they had misheard or if the other had misspoken.

"Watchmen."

After a moment, the girl repeated her earlier words, and this time the two men heard clearly, yet their faces grew even more puzzled.

Sam stepped forward and said, "Miss, I think you might have made a mistake, we are Wencheen, not some Watchmen."

On one side, Dane furrowed his brows, feeling something off about the address the other had used, yet he couldn’t quite put his finger on it at the moment.

In the rain, upon hearing Sam’s response, a sigh suddenly emerged. It seemed to come from the robed man.

"Alas, if the Guardian has already forgotten their identity, we might as well head back..."

After he finished speaking, the man turned to leave, his female companion taking his hand and following close behind with matching steps.

However, as the man’s words fell, the Wencheen brothers standing there were suddenly stunned.

To their shock, they realized the man had spoken in the language of Hua Xia Country, and they had understood the meaning of his words!

Yet the problem was, neither of them spoke the language of Hua Xia at all!

At that moment, Sam was still in a state of mental shutdown, but Dane suddenly snapped back to reality, a flurry of thoughts crowding his mind.

"They didn’t call us by the wrong name, they came looking for us! And they addressed us as Guardians! That word, I’ve definitely heard it somewhere! Where exactly!!"

As he pondered frantically, his fingers accidentally touched a small booklet in his pocket, his father’s diary!

The diary...

Yes, the diary!

Dane’s eyes suddenly widened as he remembered where he had heard that appelation—his father’s diary mentioned the title of Guardian.

So that was it!

So that was it!

Dane felt he had completely figured it out, these two were indeed looking for them, or rather, were looking for the Guardian!

At that moment, his hands couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

They must not be ordinary people, right!

The words "Transcendent" instantly appeared in his mind.

"No! Please wait a moment!!"

Dane blurted out almost reflexively, the abrupt sound startling Sam as well.

In the distance, the departing figures also stopped in their tracks.

They were naturally Zhang Xiaoman and Lin Sisi.

Zhang Xiaoman, upon learning that the address of a recommended new member on the gang’s list was nearby, rose up to check the place out. If possible, he intended to also investigate the situation of this recommended subordinate and whether there were any resources in the area.

He wasn’t interested in auctions, so he hadn’t appeared at the venue, but instead took the opportunity to fly his Anti-gravity Car back and forth over the estate. As it turned out, he indeed discovered something interesting.

Originally, he had just intended to check out the anomaly he had just noticed, but unexpectedly, he encountered the masters of the house.

Zhang Xiaoman signaled Lin Sisi to test the other party, but judging by their reaction, they didn’t seem to understand what was going on.

He could only sigh and turn to leave, planning to return another time to investigate more thoroughly.

However, just as he was about to leave, someone behind him suddenly called out to him, surprising Zhang Xiaoman momentarily.

Yet as a seasoned Big Con Man, he wasn’t thrown off by the surprise and merely stopped in his tracks, turning slightly as if waiting for the other to explain why they had called out to him.

Seeing his demeanor, Dane involuntarily swallowed and felt an unexpected surge of nervousness.

He began somewhat falteringly, "Excuse me, are you here looking for... the Guardian? I think, I know who that might be..."
