Chapter 1765 Not Associated With Them
He did not know if he should tell Juan about how they promised those men to guard Daemonic Mount for seven days.
Levant sighed. “Although we’re wearing these clothes, things are not what you think they are. We’re not their associates. I was just dragged into this mess by your uncle.”
“Why is it—” Davin wanted to retort, but he realized halfway that Levant was speaking the truth. Hence, he mumbled, “Y-Yes, it was me…”
Juan and the others exchanged glances, baffled by Davin and Levant’s words.
“Dragged into this mess by Uncle Davin? How? Uncle Davin, can you explain this to us?”
“I agree. Mr. Davin, we don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Can you be clearer?”
Davin let out a sigh. “This is what happened…”
He then told them everything that had happened to them earlier. After that, he gave Levant a glance and continued, “He’s rather nice this time. If not for me, he wouldn’t have been dragged into this mess.”
So, that’s what’s going on, the trio thought.
All of a sudden, a thought entered Damien’s mind, and he turned to look at Davin and Levant. “Mr. Davin, Mr. Levant, since the two of you are guarding the place, can you let us pass?”
“What do you mean?”
“Let us up the mountain. We’re on the same team. You won’t be stopping us, right?”
“He’s right. If we knew that you and Mr. Levant were guarding the place, we would have gone straight to you. We could have skipped the stress and fear of stepping into someone’s trap.”
Damien’s and Draven’s words stumped Davin and Levant.
When they had found the strangely-dressed men and asked for food and accommodation, they had promised not to let anyone in for the next seven days.
Now, it seemed wrong of them to let someone in right after they were done with their meal.
At the sight of Davin’s hesitation, Draven said, “Mr. Davin, you’re not actually thinking of stopping us, right? We’re on the same side.”
“I know, but…” Davin glanced at Levant.
After a moment of silence, Levant said, “You’re here for the antidote. Why don’t you let us try to get it instead? We’ll see if we can get it or not.”
Both Damien and Draven thought that was a good idea.
“Mr. Juan, why don’t we let Mr. Davin and Mr. Levant try it? Even if we can get up the mountain, we might not be able to get the antidote. Regardless of everything, at least they have a way to converse with the other party right now.”
“He’s right. Why don’t we let them try it first?” Hearing the duo’s words, Juan pursed his lips before replying, “All right. Please ask them and see if they’ll give us the antidote. I’ll be waiting here.”
Waiting here?
“Why don’t you go back first? No matter whether or not we manage to get the antidote, I’ll inform you about it, okay?”
“Uncle Davin, you can leave this place? Don’t you need to guard this place at all times?”
“It’s fine if I leave for a little while. Moreover, the one who promised to guard the place was Levant, not me. I’m the one who dragged him into this mess, so I’m keeping him company out of guilt.”
Juan then looked at the top of the mountain before looking back at Davin and Levant.
He only agreed to it after Levant gave him a look.
“All right. Uncle Davin, I’ll have to trouble you to come to us at night then.” He then told Davin where the cabin was located.
“Don’t worry. The two of us will come up with a plan.”
After Juan and the other two left, Davin asked Levant, “Do you think that they’ll give us the antidote?”
“No,” came Levant’s immediate reply.
Davin’s brows drew together. “Then what do you plan to do?”
“If they won’t give it to us, we’ll have to resort to extreme methods. After all, Jeremy has been working for your brother for many years. We can’t possibly sit idly and do nothing, right?”
“I’m surprised that you’re rather reliable.”
“If I’m not reliable, why would I even save you? Would I be guarding this place if not for you?” Levant questioned.
Davin then studied him before answering, “Are you really guarding the mountain just because you wanted to save me? It’ll be easier to do things in a certain place when you’re supposed to be there, right?”
