Chapter 1757 You Have Been Warned
“What a tone! Well, we can leave anytime, but… We need something from you.”
“What is it?”
“The antidote. We’ll disappear before you right away as soon as we receive it,” Draven stated.
The man standing in the middle, who looked like their leader, explained, “There’s no antidote for the disease. However, it won’t end your life right away. There will probably be two months left. Use the remaining time to enjoy life.”
Damien found it blatantly ridiculous. “Enjoy life? How funny! Our man is being tormented by the symptoms. He’s literally living in hell every day. It’s a miracle if he could survive a month in that dying condition!”
“Don’t worry. Ten days later, his tolerance for pain will increase. Consequently, the torturing moments will reduce significantly. He will definitely be able to enjoy life in the last month before he shut his eyes for good.”
He can still live for two months without the antidote?
Evan could not bring himself to believe those words.
He stepped forward and made himself clear. “We’re here for the antidote. Without it, we won’t leave this place. Speak up if you have any requests. We can discuss further.”
“Are you negotiating? Hmph! The people of Daemonic Mount don’t do that. Anyone who trespasses the Daemonic Mount will be poisoned to death!”
Evan narrowed his eyes as he stared at their unwavering faces quizzically.
“Are you the representative of Daemonic Mount? You’re the head here?”
“No, I’m not, but you won’t be able to meet the leader. Calculate your risk and leave now.”
“Mr. Seet, it seems like they won’t barge until we teach them a hard lesson.”
Evan was curious to find out how great those fighters were. With a quick reminder urging the rest to be careful, he exchanged glances with Draven and Damien, indicating that they were ready to strike.
A brutal battle might break out anytime soon. As Evan studied the masked men’s techniques and gestures, he realized that they were very agile. He had never seen someone so fast and flexible!
Seeing that Damien was struggling to retaliate, Juan jumped in to help.
The smarty-pants had noticed the patterns of their fearsome attacks. Hence, he mimicked their style but topped it up with an even faster speed to break the enemies’ intentional blitz. As a result, he was able to counter their assaults.
“Not bad, young fellow.”
“I’ve experienced your strength. Now, it’s time to taste your own medicine.”
Swiftly, he launched a powerful kick, only to retrieve it mid-way and replaced it with a double punch. The trick worked like a charm. His opponent did not expect the sudden change in fighting tactics and was struck to the ground.
When the masked man finally got hold of himself, he cast a puzzling look at Juan.
How tricky! He’s indeed something.
“Well done. You’re fast, clever, and sharp. Which sect sent you?”
Juan cackled. “Me? I’m a godsend; I was sent by your ancestors to kick your butt.”
“Tsk! How arrogant! I can take you on alone if you dare.”
Damien commented, “I didn’t do anything. You were fighting one-on-one with Mr. Juan just now.”
The masked man was infuriated. “No doubt you kept your hands to yourself toward the end of the battle. Your unwanted presence at the corner was a distraction. Get lost!”
Damien burst out laughing. “Losers will always be losers whether I stand next to you or two hundred meters away from you. Just admit defeat!”
“Cut the crap! I dare you to a one-on-one duel. How’s that?”
Juan gave Damien a look. The latter turned to Evan, who then nodded, signaling him to move aside.
After that, the masked men went all out and charged against Juan aggressively.
Thankfully, Juan was vigilant and nimble in his moves. He was excellent at speculating the masked man’s next action and managed to counter him beautifully.
