Sole Wolf nodded in response.
Without Camp South Master overseeing the place, Ares infiltrated Camp South with ease.
However, Camp South was large and had a complicated layout. Ares had not found the place where the spirit pills were possibly hidden, even after circling the city twice.
Eventually, he held two men hostage and questioned them. Alas, they did not even know what spirit pills were.
The situation gave Ares immense stress.
What should I do?
Just as he was pondering, he saw a servant rushing by on a horse.
“I'm on official duty! Please make way! I'm on official duty! Please make way!” announced the servant.
Immediately, Ares's eyes lit up as a plan hatched in his mind.
The servant served the Camp Master directly. Hence, he might know where the spirit pills were hidden.
Even if the servant had no idea, Ares could use the former to find a servant with more authority. That way, it should be easy for him to locate the spirit pills.
Hence, Ares ran after him.
Meanwhile, the servant arrived at a more luxurious building.
As soon as he got off the horse, he dashed into the building and announced, “Mr. Sunshade, your antidote's here!”
Ares was elated.
It's Sunshade! He's Camp South Master's right-hand man and most trusted aide. Sunshade must know where the spirit pills are hidden. I'll use him, then.
When the servant handed the crimson-red antidote to Sunshade, the latter was so emotional that he teared up.
He had thought he was going to die. Never did he expect to see a ray of hope again.
Ares was already on standby when Sunshade picked up the antidote and got ready to consume it.
In a flash, Ares dashed toward Sunshade and snatched the antidote from the latter.
He moved so quickly that Sunshade and the others were caught off guard.
Sunshade's face flushed with anger and fear as he yelled, “Kill him! Kill this assassin! Hurry up!”
Unfortunately, the people around him did not respond.
