The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1844

James glanced up, locking eyes with the person Mirabella had asked about, and answered, "That's the president of the Archaeological Society."

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, a bit taken aback.

If a president had come undercover, the research value of this underground palace must be pretty significant. She didn't press for more details, hoping only to find what Nellie was seeking inside.

As time ticked by, the grand ancient doors, steeped in history, finally swung open after an hour.

It felt like stepping into another world. Beyond those massive doors stood a majestic palace-like structure, seemingly floating in the air, with just a long chain bridge connecting to it.

Below this floating marvel lay a crystal-clear lake, with only standing stone statues within.

Everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

Nobody had anticipated that technology from centuries ago could create such a floating structure. Even Mirabella's expression changed slightly.

She had seen this scene before in her clan's holographic records.

The archaeological team snapped back to reality and, after ensuring everything was safe, rushed toward the chain bridge.

The age of the underground palace had left the suspension bridge rusted, but it was still functional. However, crossing it required some effort because it was made with just two chains, one above and one below. Without good balance and agility, falling into the lake below would be all too easy.

James took the safety harness Wyatt handed him, casually fastening it around Mirabella's waist. "This lake's filled with mercury. If you fall, there's no saving you, so be careful when crossing," he cautioned. Mirabella arched an eyebrow, tempted to argue it wasn't necessary, but seeing his serious expression, she decided against it. "Got it."
