Chapter 1756 Mysterious Men
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Davin’s mind. Would I be able to seize the key to the treasure chest with this map?
Meanwhile, Jeremy was suffering from the side effects of Dual Extremes. He was like a lifeless zombie being continuously tortured in hell. Nicole had already performed acupuncture on him twice, and she could barely stabilize his condition.
Jensen could not bear seeing him in agony. Thus, he went up to the mountain at the break of dawn to look for an antidote.
“I’ll come with you, Jensen.”
“Me too.”
“Daddy, I’ll go with them.”
Evan cast a look at them and pondered over it. He felt that it was better for Draven and Damien, who were relatively more reliable, to go up to the mountains.
“Jensen, you should stay with Darius and take care of Jeremy. Whereas Juan, Damien, Draven, and I will go.”
“You’re going, Mr. Seet?” Draven blurted in surprise.
“Let me go, Mr. Seet,” Darius volunteered.
“I’ll come with you, Evan.” Having said so, Nicole glanced at Jeremy again. She was debating to stay since her medical skills would be needed to cure Jeremy.
Evan thought the same, and he gave Nicole a knowing look. “Do as I say. The rest of you should stay behind.”
Nicole did not insist. As she watched the group leave for the mountain, her anxious heart began to pray hard for them.
The few men successfully arrived at the feet of Daemonic Mount. They were baffled when they saw the lush green landscapes.
“There’s no one waiting in ambush, Mr. Seet. I was especially cautious just now as I fear they would hide in the trees and launch unexpected attacks on us.”
“That’s right. I was also worried that they would camouflage themselves among the branches and sneak up on us. It feels odd to get through so easily. Did we come too early? Are they still asleep?”
Evan scanned the surroundings. Indeed, this feels like the calm before the storm.
“Maybe they are waiting for us at the peak. Let’s not put our guard down.”
“Daddy is right. Tranquility comes before the chaos. There’s only one way to find out if there’s an intense battle ahead of us.”
The Seets’ warnings made Damien and Draven more vigilant.
Upon checking the area, the four of them soldiered on. After walking for about half an hour, they caught a glimpse of a few dark shadows passing by before them.
They stopped in their tracks and observed the space over a dozen meters away. A few men dressed in peculiar uniforms were marching in a single file. There were seemingly cloud logos sewn on their sleeves.
Instantly, Evan recalled Faye’s words. She was once abducted by several men in strange uniforms to a blooming garden. When she was in a daze, she got poisoned.
Hence, Evan quickly reminded the rest, “Beware. They’ve got something to do with Faye being poisoned.”
“Noted, Mr. Seet.”
“Will do, Daddy.”
Evan added, “Let’s catch up with them and see if we could lay our hands on the antidote.”
“Sure!”
The four of them trailed behind in the distance, adjusting their footsteps to follow the pace of the masked men accordingly.
“They seem to be fighters, Daddy.”
“I’m sure they have high combat skills, for even Faye was poisoned by them.”
“Mr. Seet, shall Damien and I chase after them?”
“We’ll do it together.” Evan was resolute and unswerving in his decision.
They followed behind them for quite a long while before they could close the gap between them.
Damien yelled, “Hey, peeps in front, please hold up. We need a favor.”
“Yeah, we’ve been walking for a very long time. Let’s take a break,” Draven chimed in.
With that, the handful of men halted and turned their heads one by one.
“They’re all wearing masks?”
“Yes, so mysterious.”
As soon as Juan finished saying that, one of the masked men uttered, “Go down the mountain now, or you’ll face regrets. You’ve been warned.”
