Chapter 1760 Blood Is Thicker Than Water
Davin sized Levant up.
“Not bad. So you’ve started helping your wife out with her troubles? However, why are you still wasting your time with your wife’s family matters? Just kick those money-minded people aside. It’ll make your life easier.”
Levant sighed. “Easier said than done. Blood is thicker than water, and Tiffany can’t bring herself to be that merciless.”
Davin laughed. “True. If she can be that merciless, you’ll never be able to get together with her. After all, with the way you treated her back then…”
“That’s enough! That was so long ago. There’s no need for you to mention it again.”
“Why not? It’s a great topic to mention during drinking sessions. Furthermore, we all feel that you’re really horrible! You really can’t do her wrong anymore.”
Levant shot Davin a glare at that. Not wanting to hear him ramble on about his past, he quickened his pace.
For a moment, Davin could not catch up with him. “Wait! Wait for me! Why are you walking so quickly?”
When the two reached the deeper parts of the forest, Levant abruptly halted in his tracks.
It was then Davin finally caught up with him. Panting, he said, “You’ve finally stopped. I’m so tired.”
“Hush.”
Levant’s keen eyes were scanning his surroundings. His silencing gesture instantly made Davin tense up.
“What’s the matter?”
“I sense movement around us.”
Movement?
Alarm bells rang in Davin’s head, and he warily looked around him. “There’s no one here.”
Just as those words left his mouth, a rustling sound came from the top of the trees, and a few oddly-dressed people appeared in front of them.
Holy moly. They came from the trees. Were they hiding there all along?
The two of them carefully watched the newcomers. They had realized that the strangely-dressed people were no ordinary people, for they had been as swift as lightning earlier.
“Who are you?” Sensing the danger around them, Levant slowly balled his fists, readying himself for a fight.
“The ones who stand in your way,” one of the figures replied.
“Why?” Levant asked.
“Because the ones who barge into Daemonic Mount must die!”
“Do you think we’ll drop dead just because you said so?” Davin scoffed.
The unknown figure sneered, “You can try us.”
Both parties were ready for a fight. At the same time, Levant was studying them, wondering how well his opponents could fight and whether or not he and Davin would be able to stay safe.
Thus, he quietly reminded Davin, “We’ll first test them out. If we can win them, then we fight them. If not, we run.”
“Did you need to tell me that? I’m going to die if I don’t run.”
When their opponents noticed that they were whispering with each other without any signs of leaving, they scoffed, “It seems like you will not heed our words.”
“That’s right! We’re going up this Daemonic Mount.”
Just as Levant’s words went past his teeth, both sides tensed up, ready to engage in a battle.
Suddenly, Davin felt his world spin and his body go weak. What’s going on?
An uneasy feeling stirred in him. It can’t be because of the poison Lucas gave me, right?
However, his opponent had begun moving, and Davin had no choice but to charge ahead.
Levant was more than capable of defending himself and attacking his enemies simultaneously. He was agile, and it seemed like he was gaining the upper hand.
After exchanging a few blows with them, he sneered, “I thought you’d be impressive, but it seems like my initial thoughts were wrong.”
Enraged by his words, his opponents began attacking more ferociously.
Both sides were in a full swing.
As Levant dodged, he was suddenly reminded of Faye’s move. He had once fought with Faye, and he secretly learned a few moves of her combat style. Now, it was perfect to use what he had learned from her against these people.
