Chapter 2533 Alliance

They couldn't help but be wary when Hefe tried to get close to them by revealing such information.

Sensing the growing hostility among Jared and his companions, Hefe frantically explained, “I couldn't

afford to buy medicine. I overheard everything when I was trying to steal them from Vibrant Health

Clinic. I'm sharing this because I'm looking to form an alliance with you guys. The mystical herb grows

deep in the mountains and is likely protected by spirit beasts. Without a doubt, obtaining it is going to

be extremely risky. I'm alone in the group. I don't have anyone to help me if I'm in danger.”

Although Hefe's explanation made sense, Jared remained unconvinced and probed further, “Why did

you choose to ally with us? We're not the strongest ones here.”

Within the traveling party, Jared and his companions were the least conspicuous. Two men and a

woman alongside a child didn't exactly inspire confidence. If one were looking to form an alliance, one

would naturally do so with the strongest in the party.

Hefe let out a wry chuckle. “That's because you're the safest choice. I know that you come from Rock

Village and hold a grudge against Cyan Village. I don't deny wanting to form an alliance with the

strongest group, but would they even accept me? In fact, they might even sell me out to Cyan Village.

Unlike them, you won't betray me even if you don't take me in.”

His words caused the hostile aura Jared exuded to gradually dissipate. The latter no longer harbored

any doubt that Hefe was telling the truth.

It was obvious that the circumstances had left Hefe no choice. The information he shared about Brutus

was evidently not a lie.

Jared's concerns about Hefe might have eased, but his worries for what lay ahead of them began to

swell.

He had no idea what sort of mystical herb Francois and the others were looking for. Nevertheless, it

was a certainty that a spirit beast was guarding something as precious as that.

Even if there were none, the powerful demon beasts that roamed the mountains were enough to turn

their journey into a one-way trip.

“I knew it. There's more to the matter than meets the eye. I didn't expect Dr. Weiss to be searching for

a mystical herb. We're in for a whole lot of trouble,” Ali said, his brows tightly furrowed.

“Ali, why don't we slip away instead of following them?”

Talk of hunting for the mystical herb deep in the mountains filled Percy with fear. The mountain range

was a forbidden area for his people after all.

“There's no escaping. We're no match for Dr. Weiss. If we were to attempt it, we would be killed before

getting far.”

Hefe got Percy to drop the idea immediately.

Percy's face turned pale. “What should we do? Once we go deeper into the forest, we'll end up being

eaten by the demon beasts!”

Silence was the only response Ali could offer.

Emily was overwhelmed with guilt. “Ali, Jared, I'm really sorry. Your lives wouldn't be at risk if not for

me.”

“Emily, this isn't your fault. We may be searching for the mystical herb, but it's not necessarily

dangerous at all. You should be more optimistic. I'm sure we'll all be fine,” Jared comforted her with a

smile.

Contrary to his relaxed demeanor, Jared wasn't as upbeat inside. Deep down, he knew that Francois

was really powerful and Brutus was stronger than all of them. He couldn't figure out why those two

wanted weaker warriors like them to tag along.

The villagers who live nearby are clearly no match against high-level demon beasts due to their low

cultivation levels. Yet Francois still took them with him. It is clear that his real goal goes beyond just

needing them as security escorts.
