Chapter 1792 Luring Elias
After dinner, they headed for the top of the mountain.
On their way up, they carefully avoided the patrolling guards and took two hours to arrive at their destination.
“Rumors said that those who guard Daemonic Mount are powerful warriors, but none of them noticed us at all. I guess they aren’t as great as the rumors suggest.” Davin smirked as he stared down from the top.
In an obscure spot not far from them, a pair of eyes were gazing at them intensely. What are you being smug about? The only reason you lot managed to make it all the way up here was that the superiors had asked them to do a sloppy job during their patrol. Let’s see how smug you can be once you walk into the trap!
Evan and Levant exchanged a look with each other as they found their journey to be way too easy. After all, they were actually spotted twice by the guards, and the guards did chase after them. However, once they ran far enough, they managed to shake the guards off.
It didn’t make sense for the guards to lose them because there was no doubt the guards were more familiar with the topography of Daemonic Mount. The guards, if they had persisted in their chase, would’ve definitely caught them.
So why? Is it because the guards are lazy? It’s not impossible, but it doesn’t seem probable. The two of them had the same suspicions but decided not to dwell on those thoughts since they had already arrived at their destination.
They would rather focus on executing their plan and obtaining the antidote as fast as possible.
Noticing a cave not too far away, Davin turned to face the others and said, “Evan, if you can really lure Elias out with Levant, you must drag him far away and distract him long enough so I won’t get exposed immediately when I walk in.”
“Don’t worry, we will.”
“Okay, good. Let’s go.”
Evan and Levant glanced at Davin before entering the cave. At that moment, Elias was enjoying his drink in front of a table.
He was holding the cup in his hand tightly. When he saw the two of them sneaking in, he studied them briefly instead of being surprised.
With a smile, he raised his cup and asked, “Want some?”
“You’re inviting us for a drink?” Levant was surprised by Elias’ calmness.
“You’re my guests, after all.”
“We’re not here for a friendly visit. We’re here to exchange a few moves with you! I heard you can move as fast as lightning. Perhaps you’ll be kind enough to show off your skills to us?”
Elias smiled and continued to drink, ignoring Levant’s provocation.
“Are you scared? Or is it because you can’t live up to your name?” Levant continued to taunt him.
“I’m not scared. I’m just worried that you’ll get hurt if I can’t pull back my punches in time.”
“Ha! To think the Guardian of Daemonic Mount would be worried about our safety. Don’t worry, even if you really hurt us, we won’t blame you!”
“I’m not worried about hurting you. He’s the one I’m worried about hurting!” Elias pointed at Evan. “If I hurt him, Shermaine will want to settle the score with me!”
Levant was slightly taken aback. Has Shermaine begun to go easy on Evan? Oh no, perhaps that’s not the right word to describe it. I should say Shermaine has begun to worry about Evan. Even still, this could be used to our advantage!
He glanced at Evan with a look that said, “Mr. Seet, you should say something right now!”
Evan took a step forward and stared at Elias. “I don’t want to hear your excuses! Just tell us if you have the balls to fight us or not instead of wasting our time with irrelevant words!”
“Of course I do. So, how do you want to do this?”
Seeing that Elias had taken the bait, Levant enacted his plan. He asked Elias to fight them outside the cave so that Davin could sneak in and find the antidote.
Elias agreed to the proposal without hesitation. “Sure, let’s go. I’ll go wherever you want me to go!”
After exiting the cave, Levant intentionally guided him to a spot that was very far away in order to prevent him from returning too quickly.
