Chapter 2532 Unpredictable Intentions
“Ali, there's nothing to fear with Jared around!”
Percy wasn't afraid at all, for he was now blindly worshipping Jared.
“It still pays to be cautious. The journey ahead of us remains a perilous one,” Jared reminded.
For some strange reason, Jared's first impression of Francois was that he was extremely ruthless.
It wasn't until they had traveled for a few hours that the group entered the mountain range wherethe sunlight was blocked out by the dense forest.novelbin
Even though they were now inside the mountains, everyone remained unfazed. As they were onlymoving along its borders, any demon beast that appeared wouldn't be particularly strong. Thedanger didn't concern them at all.
Along the way, Brutus constantly tried to talk to Francois, but the latter didn't seem interested inhaving a conversation.
“Who in the world is that guy? Dr. Weiss seems to be afraid of him. He's not showing the doctor anyrespect despite the latter being someone renowned in Quakersville,” Percy said when he saw howobsequiously Brutus was behaving toward Francois.
“I've never seen him in Quakersville either. He looks unfamiliar to me,” Ali said as he stared atFrancois.
While Ali spoke, a middle-aged man with a beard approached them and said, “He's Dr. Weiss'senior. That's why he's so afraid of him.”
Ali responded by giving the man a suspicious glance. One could never be too careful when dealingwith strangers in Ethereal Realm.
Noticing the wary look in Ali's eyes, the middle-aged man introduced himself, “I'm Hefe Grangerfrom Bliss Village.”
“You're from Bliss Village?” Percy came forward. “How did you get here? Wasn't everyone in BlissVillage massacred by those from Cyan Village a long time ago?”
Upon hearing Percy's question, Hefe said in a sorrowful tone, “They were, but I managed to escape.That's why I came back seeking vengeance.”
Seeing that Hefe didn't seem to be lying, Ali felt a sense of sympathy welling up in him. “How areyou going to take revenge alone? You probably can't even break into Cyan Village.”
“I'll definitely have my revenge even if it costs me my life. Dr. Weiss promised to make me a powerburst pill if I were to help him secure his herb.”
The mere mention of the power burst pill piqued everyone's interest, including Jared's.
The power burst pill was capable of dramatically enhancing one's power but could only do so for tenminutes. Thereafter, its user would explode like a bomb and be blown up into smithereens.
Hefe was prepared to sacrifice his own life for revenge.
“Did you just say that man is Dr. Weiss' senior? Tell me more,” Jared asked Hefe.
“That's right. I've never heard of Dr. Weiss having any seniors, let alone him belonging to a sect.”
Ali had interacted with Brutus a few times, and he had come to Quakersville on more than oneoccasion. Yet he had never heard anyone mention such a thing.
After scanning his surroundings, Hefe said softly, “His name is Francois Wurstel, a member ofEmerald Cauldron Sect. Dr. Weiss, too, is a member of the same sect. Francois was the one who
ordered Dr. Weiss to search for the mystical herb.”
Jared stared at Hefe with a grim look on his face. “How do you know so much? Why are you tellingus this?”
Such matters were secret and shouldn't be easily shared. Moreover, it was hard to predict one'sintentions in Ethereal Realm. Given everyone's competing interests, no one would do something forfree.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Hefe, and they all had him surrounded.
