Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1505

Another half day passed, and Andrew and his team finally arrived at their destination—Gallow's End, the location marked on the treasure map.

Based on its illustrations, the treasure entrance was supposed to be carved into the base of a steep mountain, so steep it looked practically impossible to climb.

The treasure was said to be buried deep within the mountain itself, through a tunnel someone had once hollowed out. However, as dusk fell and Andrew's convoy rolled up to the mountain's base, everyone was stunned.

The spot marked Gallow's End, supposedly the hidden treasure entrance, had turned into a heritage hamlet.

The street was paved with weathered cobblestones, and both sides were lined with quaint shops glowing softly with warm lights.

The entire area radiated commercial charm. While it was not overly crowded, a handful of middle-aged backpackers strolled and laughed under the evening sky, even at 9 p.m.

Tiana frowned. "Andy, are we in the wrong place?"

Andrew did not respond right away. He pulled out the treasure map and examined it closely again. Finally, he shook his head. "No. This is the place."

Behind them, Logan and Chantelle had already instructed their teams to park the cars. Both of them walked over to Andrew, wearing expressions of confusion and skepticism.

"You didn't bring us here for a vacation, did you?" Logan joked dryly.

Andrew did not laugh. "Everyone, split up and start asking around. Be discreet. Don't mention anything about treasure. Just see if you can dig up anything about the name Gallow's End."

Chantelle stepped forward. "No need. Leave it to me. Everyone, follow me."

Logan blinked. "Wait—Ms. Garcia, you've got a plan?"

Chantelle ignored him. She looked at Andrew and said firmly, "Mr. Lloyd, I'll prove to you that my presence on this expedition is an asset, not a liability."

With that, she huffed and strode off confidently down the cobbled path.

Tiana chuckled. "Come on, Andy. Who knows, maybe Ms. Garcia really does have a trick up her sleeve."
