Chapter 1793 Teased By Shermaine
“This is your chance to sneak in, Mr. Davin. You should go in now,” Draven urged as he watched the trio leave the cave.
Davin stood up, took a deep breath, and stared at the cave as if he were a warrior preparing to meet his death. “You two better not get too far away. If you hear any loud noises or the sound of me crying for help, you two must rush in immediately to save me!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Davin. We’ll do our best to protect you.”
Davin nodded, took two steps forward, and turned back to remind them, “I’ll be going now. My life depends on you!”
“There’s nothing to worry about. Just go ahead.”
“That’s right, Mr. Davin. You should hurry. Time is precious.”
Davin took another deep breath before walking into the cave as bravely as he could.
Once he entered the cave, he studied the structure within. Everything inside was exactly as Evan had described, including the four doors that his brother had specifically mentioned he should pay attention to.
Elias is the leader of The Four Guardians, so his room should be the first one… that is closest to the living room. Yes, this should be it. Davin locked his eyes on his destination, then approached it as silently as possible.
Once he entered the room, Shermaine and Frida walked out of another one with a smug smile.
“His disguise is really impeccable. If I didn’t know he was a fake beforehand, I wouldn’t have been able to tell. How did he do that?” Frida asked.
“Human skin mask!” Shermaine answered.
“Thank goodness you overheard their conversation, or else he would’ve succeeded in his mission!”
“Yeah. Should we expose him now or…” Shermaine wondered what to do next.
Frida gave a faint smile. “It won’t be fun if we do it right away. How about we tease him a little?”
“Okay!”
After a brief discussion, Shermaine shouted, “Elias! Elias! Come out!”
Davin was rummaging through Elias’ cabinets to find the antidote when he heard her voice.
His heart did a complete somersault. What the hell? Why are they calling for Elias? This is such a pain in the butt. I think it’ll be okay if I just pretend not to hear them. After all, finding the antidote is my top priority. All right, I have to continue—
“Elias! Elias!” Shermaine continued to yell his name a few more times before walking over to the room. “Elias, why aren’t you answering? Did you have your earplugs on or something?”
When Davin heard footsteps in front of the door, his heart tightened. Who the hell is this woman? Why is she looking for Elias right now? Should I reply to her? No! I can’t! My voice is different from his, so if I reply, I’ll get exposed instantly!
“Elias, what’s going on with you? Are you deaf or mute? Say something!”
Davin turned around and gave her a dumb smile.
Shermaine studied him in detail. The face mask resembled the real Elias very closely, almost to perfection. However, Elias had a cold look while there were a lot of emotions swirling in Davin’s eyes. Hmph, so he’s a lustful man as well.
She pouted and exclaimed, “Today’s your turn to clean the place, Elias! Why are you still here? Do you have any idea how dirty the floor in my room is right now? Also, don’t forget the table and cabinet too! Quickly clean them up now!”
Davin was shocked. What the hell? What kind of treatment is this! Do the people protecting Daemonic Mount have to clean the living quarters as well? Isn’t that the job of the cleaners? Do they not have cleaners on Daemonic Mount? This is a pretty terrible and unfair job!
Just as he was still in a daze, Shermaine arrived in front of him and punched his arm. “What is going on with you? You’re usually pretty quick. Why are you acting so differently?” She scrutinized him when she finished.
Being stared at like that made Davin feel uncomfortable. His heart started to beat very loudly. Is she going to see through my disguise? Jeez, and here I thought I can leave as soon as I find the antidote. I didn’t expect this woman to just barge in and talk to me like that!
