Chapter 1762 Worry
Did he end up in someone’s trap? Did he pass out from the fright? Is he faking it?
Regardless of what was the reason for Davin’s collapse, Levant’s priority was to ensure their safety. Thus, he had to retreat.
“Stop! I’m not going to fight anymore,” Levant suddenly yelled before sparing Davin a glance. “You win. My partner collapsed, so I have to bring him down the mountain now. We’re not going to keep going up Daemonic Mount anymore!”
At that, their opponent studied them before replying, “Isn’t it too easy for us to let you go just like that?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“You seem quite good in fighting. After settling this unconscious guy’s matter, come back here and guard our place. You’ll have to guard Daemonic Mount for ten days without letting anyone in. Not even a fly is allowed in. As long as you promise that, I’ll let you leave this place with him.”
Levant never thought that would be their terms. “Are you trying to get free labor from me? Are you actually trying to get more free time for yourself by getting me to do your work?”
“So, are you going to do it or not? If you say no, then let’s keep fighting. However, none of us can be sure if this guy by your feet is going to come out of this alive.”
Levant fell silent. It seemed like he had no other choice but to agree to their terms.
Furthermore, it did not seem like a bad idea to help them guard the place. Evan and the others were here as well. If he were to guard Daemonic Mount, he could try getting closer to the people here. Perhaps, he would be able to find out where Evan and Juan were.
He had no choice but to submit.
Hence, Levant let out an exasperated sigh. “All right, but ten days is too long. Seven. At most, I’ll do this for seven days.”
His opponents did not waste any time in agreeing. “Seven, then. You can’t go back on your words and don’t even think of pulling any tricks. We won’t let you go if you try that.”
“Don’t worry. I’m a man of my words.”
Once the two came to an agreement, Levant quickly crouched down to check on Davin.
After finding out that Davin had really passed out, a furrow appeared between Levant’s brows. Did someone do something to him?
He then shouted at Davin a few times and shook his body, but the latter did not respond. At that, Levant’s heart lurched.
“What did you do to him?” he bellowed at the people standing opposite him.
Unfortunately, Davin’s opponent was as confused as Levant. “I didn’t do anything. My foot didn’t even touch him before he collapsed.”
That was what Levant had seen as well, and so, he wondered, Then why did Davin pass out?
All of a sudden, one of his opponents commented about how weak Davin must be and how Davin should get himself stronger when he went back.
“I hope you aren’t the ones who did something to him, or else I’m going to end you all!”
“We always admit to what we’ve done.”
Levant left with Davin after deducing that those people must not be lying.
At the start, he actually thought of carrying Davin out of the forest. However, halfway through, he could not carry him anymore. Therefore, he could only put him down and wait for him to gain consciousness.
Over an hour later, Davin finally opened his eyes, slowly and gradually.
“You’re awake?”
Hearing that, Davin knitted his brows before letting his eyes drift from side to side. It was then he realized he was lying on the ground.
“Where is this place? Why am I…”
Then, his memories flooded back into his mind. The images of him fighting with someone emerged in his brain. It was then he recalled how he had passed out.
“Davin, you passed out before anyone even laid a finger on you. You didn’t faint because you were too scared, did you?”
Davin went quiet at that. He knew it was not because of fright. It’s probably because the poison Lucas made me eat has started doing its job.
Hearing nothing from Davin, Levant blurted out, “You really fainted from fright? You’re such a coward.”
Davin then raised his head to cast Levant a solemn look.
“That is a question I have to reply to with a sad story.”
“What sad story?”
“I was poisoned!”
Levant narrowed his eyes at him in disbelief.
“Really! I was poisoned before I came here. I think I passed out when the poison started taking effect.”
“What?”
Davin then told him everything.
Levant was taken aback after hearing his story.
“No wonder! I was wondering why you’d suddenly change your mind and agree to come to Daemonic Mount. So, you’re here to get your brother and sister-in-law to save you?”
