Chapter 1772 The Four Guardians
“Only The Four Guardians on the top of the mountain has the antidote. Lackeys like us only have the poison. We aren’t qualified to carry the antidote with us.”
The Four Guardians on the top of the mountain?
The few of them exchanged glances and finally decided to ask the guard to lead the way and guide them to The Four Guardians.
When they arrived at the midpoint of the mountain, the guard was trembling.
“Move!”
“I-I don’t dare. If The Four Guardians know that I’m the one who leads the way, they’ll kill me.”
“Afraid of death? If you don’t lead the way, I’ll kill you right now!” Juan threatened him.
The guard was trembling and in a dilemma. Lowering his head, he caught sight of the knife on his neck. He had no choice but to move forward.
When approaching the top of the mountain, he pointed to the cave not far away. “The Four Guardians are inside the cave. I’ve brought you here. Can you please let me go now? I need to take care of my parents and children. I can’t die.”
Hearing that, Juan thought of his parents and felt pity for the guard. Just when he was about to let the guard go, Levant knocked the man unconscious. Feeling puzzled, Juan averted his gaze to Levant. The latter explained, “As far as I know, those who guard Daemonic Mount aren’t allowed to get married. I’m not sure if he has parents or not, but I’m sure he doesn’t have a wife and children. I knocked him out because I’m afraid that he’ll go alert the Guardians.”
I see. It seems like this man is quite cunning. He actually made up such a reason to win our sympathy.
Thinking of that, Damien took out a packet of powder and fed it to him.
“You want to poison him to death?”
Damien looked at Draven and explained, “This is not poison. It’s a sleeping drug. It can make him sleep for at least a day and a night.”
Draven cast a glance at the unconscious guard and did not say another word.
In the meantime, Juan and Levant were observing the cave and discussing methods to get the antidote quickly.
Getting it by force was out of the question since they did not know how many people were there in the cave.
Hence, the best way was to take them down with wits.
Firstly, they had to find out the information about The Four Guardians.
Just then, Juan caught sight of the fainted guard and put together a plan in his mind.
“I’ll put on his clothes and check the situation inside the cave.”
“Mr. Juan, let me go.”
“I’ll go. His clothes fit me better.”
Draven and Damien were worried about Juan, so both of them volunteered to go in his stead.
“Enough. Stop arguing. I said I’m going.”
At a loss for what to say, they turned around and looked at Levant.
In the end, Levant glanced at Juan and nodded in agreement.
“You go then. It’s a good thing to gain more experience.”
After changing his clothes, Juan approached the cave quietly.
Meanwhile, Draven and Damien were extremely worried. “Will Mr. Juan encounter any unexpected situation?”
“That’s true. Will he be in danger?”
Having said that, they shifted their gaze to Levant and complained, “You shouldn’t have agreed to let Mr. Juan go.”
“That’s right. If he encounters any dangerous situation, how can we explain to Mr. Seet?”
“Juan is no longer a child. If he’s in danger, he’ll find a way to save himself. If Evan asks about it, just say that I was the one who asked Juan to go.”
The two of them sighed and turned their heads to stare at the cave while feeling uneasy, praying that everything would go well. If something happened, they were ready to rush in at any time.
On the other hand, Juan first hid outside the cave and observed the situation inside. When he saw someone bringing refreshments inside, he took the opportunity to go inside the cave.
The decoration inside was simple and neat. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. It was obvious that someone was constantly doing the cleaning.
On the other side of the cave, there were four doors. Behind each door was a separate room. Juan guessed that it might be the bedroom of The Four Guardians.
Their quality of life seems to be much worse compared to Hidden Masters. The owner of Daemonic Mount is hiding such a valuable treasure here. Why does he let his subordinates live such a poor life? Won’t they have any intention of rebelling? Should I try and tempt them?
