Chapter 154: Risks and benefits

Duncan felt that he was really in a quagmire currently.

On the surface, it was a really simple decision to make. Life or wealth? The choice to make can be summed up with just these two words. 

Duncan could already feel several people watching from the dark. He knew what they all wanted him to do. It wasn't hard to extrapolate given how and when he came into their sight.

These people are currently waiting for him to unearth more of his caches. So that, when they dealt with him at last, they will be able to obtain the maximum benefit possible. It was easy to think of.

That left him with two options. One, go along with them and find himself embroiled in an inescapable net slowly. Or two, try to escape now before the net was closed and have a chance at life.

However, things weren't that simple. Duncan can easily guess that the people staring at him were more powerful than him. His only advantage against them was the techniques he practiced.
