Chapter 1779 Who Are They
“Damien, after we finish eating, let’s go to the town to buy some ingredients, vegetables, and fruits. We can’t just eat chickens for the rest of the week, right?”
Damien pondered after hearing that. Well. Since getting the antidote depends on Mr. Seet now, we won’t be much help.
“Sure,” Damien agreed.
Curiosity began to flood Nicole. Aren’t they going to search for the antidote? Why are they still in the mood to go grocery shopping in a town hundreds of miles away?
She turned around to look at Evan.
The latter swallowed the last mouthful of chicken soup and put down the bowl. “I’ll go to the mountain with Levant.” Upon finished speaking, he shot Levant a meaningful glance before he left.
“Only the two of you?”
Levant stood up lazily before he smiled at Nicole. “My presence is unnecessary. He should go alone—”
Before he could finish speaking, Evan gave him a death stare. Levant got the hint and instantly kept quiet.
He knew that Evan did not want to let Nicole find out about his upcoming encounter.
Staring at the men’s figures as they walked off, Nicole noticed that something was amiss.
Later, Draven and Damien cleaned up the table before they headed out to purchase some daily necessities.
Nicole looked at Juan and asked, “Will your daddy and Levant be fine?”
Juan nodded. Daddy could even go alone! After all, Mr. Levant can’t help him with the woman.
“Mommy, don’t worry. Both of them will be fine.” Having said that, Juan asked Nicole if she trusted Evan. “Do you trust Daddy unconditionally?”
Noticing the seriousness on his face, Nicole was confused. “Juan, why are you asking me that?”
“I-I’m just asking.”
Nicole let out a sigh of relief. In a matter-of-fact tone, she stated, “Of course, I trust him. I’ve lived with him for so many years. I know him very well.”
After hearing that, Juan was at ease. Mommy is so understanding. Even if she finds out about Daddy’s encounter, she wouldn’t be jealous and make a fuss about it.
“Mommy, I’m glad you think that way.”
Nicole frowned when she noticed that Juan was insinuating something.
She wanted to press further. Yet, at the side, Davin was worried about himself. He stood up dejectedly and said, “Nicole, give me some poison. I’ll walk around. If I see Lucas, I’ll let him swallow the poison. I’ll let him die with me if he doesn’t give me the antidote. At least I can avenge my own death.”
“I don’t have any poison… There’s still some poisonous powder which we got from Daemonic Mount for the experiment two days ago.”
Davin turned to look at Jeremy, who was unconscious. “Poisonous powder would do. I need to let Lucas suffer from the hot and cold flashes. That would vent my hatred!”
Nicole walked to the side and gave Davin the poisonous powder. Holding it, the latter walked out of the cabin.
He took a stroll in the woods slowly. Knowing that he would lose his life soon, he felt extremely hopeless.
“Ah… Why did I get poisoned?”
Davin knew that he had never done anything heinous before. He had always treated his friends and family with sincerity and kindness. I’m a good man. I don’t deserve to live a short life.
After venting out his emotions, he lifted his head and sighed heavily.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from some distance away. He turned in the direction and saw several people approaching him.
Clearly, those people had come with no good intentions.
What are they doing? Are they coming for the treasure? Why does the person who’s leading them look so familiar?
