Chapter 1829 Trapped Inside
Elias stared at Gale. “Previously, Evan’s younger brother pretended to be me to steal the antidote. This time, I’m pretty sure it’s him as well!”
Gale’s face darkened. “Don’t tell me they found out about something. Are they trying to get…”
Before he could utter the word “treasure,” they both rushed toward the cave with a tacit understanding between them.
When they arrived, Davin, Levant, and Juan were about to leave, and the former was even wearing a human-skin mask to disguise himself as Elias.
“So it really was you!” Gale hissed through gritted teeth.
Davin tensed up. Crap! They came so quickly! These two Guardians are highly skilled fighters and have their specialties. What should we do now? Will we be able to escape?
Despite his intense stare, Levant still appeared calm and smiled with nonchalance.
As for Juan, having been stuck in the cave with no food and water had left him weak and exhausted. He knew he would be at a disadvantage should a fight break out, so he had to think of a way to escape.
“You came here for the treasure? It’s too bad. Even though you know where it is, you won’t be able to get it!”
“I’ve long heard about the formidable strength of the Guardians of Daemonic Mount. I’ll admit that it won’t be hard for you to take our lives. But before you do that, can you answer this question?” Levant asked.
Elias was intrigued by his nonchalance and scrutinized him as he asked, “What do you wish to know?”
“Why did Evan treat Shermaine as his wife when he could not remember his actual wife? Did you or Shermaine do something to him?”
Juan was the first to feel shocked by Levant’s question. What happened when I wasn’t around? How can Daddy not know who Mommy is? Why did he treat Shermaine as his wife?
“Is what you said true, Mr. Levant?”
The man nodded and continued asking Elias and Gale what was going on.
Gale snorted and tried to cook up an explanation. “What’s going on, you ask? I suppose Evan’s got quite the affinity with ladies. He must’ve fallen for Shermaine’s beauty and decided to abandon his wife to be with her.”
“You’re lying. My daddy is not that kind of person!”
“If so, then why did he recognize Shermaine as his wife?”
They did not expect the two men to be so tight-lipped about that and throw Levant’s question back at him.
“Did Shermaine give him some medicine, or did she use some secret technique on him?” Levant asked.
Elias and Gale exchanged gazes, coming to a tacit agreement not to say anything. Gale merely exclaimed, “It’s best you ask the grim reaper about this!” With that said, he attacked them.
Davin and Levant immediately confronted him head-on and could sense that he was outstandingly powerful after exchanging a few blows.
Juan also exchanged several blows with the Guardians. However, he could sense his energy depleting quickly due to hunger. Ending the battle as quickly as possible is the best strategy at present. If we can’t do so, our next best option is to flee. But how can we outrun such a powerful man like Elias?
The fight continued for several rounds. Gale did not hold back and cooperated seamlessly with Elias, causing their opponents to feel that it was almost impossible to escape from them.
Faced with this precarious situation, Davin, Levant, and Juan had no choice but to retreat into the cave.
“They’ve gone in. Shall we go after them?” Gale asked.
“Seal the exit and let them rot with the treasure!” exclaimed Elias.
The entrance to the cave was sealed again, and this time, all three were trapped inside.
Meanwhile, Evan turned to shoot Damien and Draven a look before shifting his gaze to Nicole. “There’s no need to follow me!”
“It’s not safe here on the mountain, Mr. Seet, so please allow us to follow you.”
“Yes. We can protect you.”
Evan glanced at Nicole with irritation in his eyes. “No need for that. Just go back!”
Nicole furrowed her brows. She had a feeling that those words were meant for her. He did not want her to follow him.
