Chapter 1734 Coming Along
“What’s the matter, Joy?”
“Mommy, I had a dream last night. A strange creature was trying to drink my blood!”
Juan chuckled upon hearing that. “You must’ve watched too many strange cartoons, Joy. No one’s going to drink your blood.”
“Yes. It’s just a dream, not reality,” Maya comforted.
Joy blinked her eyes and answered in a serious tone, “But it seemed so real. I was holding a strange key, and when I opened a door, there was a strange creature above it trying to drink my blood.”
“It’s a dream, Joy. Everything in it isn’t real. I also dream a lot. I even once dreamed that I was stung by bees in a flower garden. Look, nothing has happened to me.”
Joy opened her mouth to say something but quickly closed it again, looking extremely troubled. Everyone found it hard to believe that a little girl would put on such an expression.
“That’s enough. Get back to your food.”
As soon as Evan said that, everyone began eating. Although Joy had lowered her head as though she had something on her mind, she still ate the meat that Nicole offered to her with much relish.
Nicole and Evan returned to their bedroom to discuss Juan’s matter after dinner.
“Juan has become obsessed with treasures, Evan. There must be a reason for this. We should keep an eye on him.”
Evan nodded in agreement. “Besides us, Draven and the other four will also have to monitor Juan’s every move.”
“Yes. I keep having this uneasy feeling. Who knows what we’ll encounter there?”
Evan reached out to hold her hand. “You don’t need to follow us, Nicole. I can go with them-”
At that point, Nicole interjected, “No, I want to. I told you before that I have a history with Daemonic Mount. Since I have a mystery to solve, I must go too.”
An affectionate smile appeared on Evan’s face when he heard the same lie again.
Since she insists on going, I can only respect her wishes. He had thought it through. If the mountain was truly dangerous, he would do anything to protect Nicole. In the worst possible circumstance, he would get Damien and Darius to send her back in advance.
“All right then. Rest well. I’m sure we’ll succeed in bringing back the antidote to cure Faye.”
Nicole nodded.
As it grew late that night, Juan narrowed his eyes while staring out of the window. The image of the mysterious person appeared in his mind again as he recalled the words he said. The key to opening the treasure lies in the Seet family. It’s the child with the Kirin blood…
He felt that the person would not lie to him and had no reason to do so. I will find the treasure, open it, and fulfill my destiny. I believe that God appointed me for a reason. There must be something more important awaiting me after uncovering the treasure!
Early next morning, Juan got up and packed his things. To his surprise, he found the maids packing his parents’ stuff when he went to bid them farewell.
“Daddy, Mommy, what’s going on?”
“Breakfast is ready, Juan. Go and eat first. I’ll be down with your daddy in a minute. We’ll set off after that,” said Nicole.
Juan was puzzled by her words.
They’re going to Daemonic Mount too? Why didn’t Daddy tell me about it?
“Daemonic Mount is too dangerous, Mommy. It’s best that you both stay behind.”
“Your daddy and I have already made up our minds, so there’s no need for further comments. Go and have breakfast.”
Juan was taken aback. However, he took one look at the packed bags and concluded that advising them against going was futile.
Hence, he merely nodded and headed down for breakfast.
Meanwhile, Draven and the Hidden Masters had long arrived at the Imperial Garden and were ready to set off at any time.
They were also looking forward to the trip to Daemonic Mount.
