Chapter 1892 What Do You Want?
While Elisa instigated Anna's clique against her, Gareth moved quickly on the mountain.
He managed to find twenty kinds of herbs in less than twenty minutes.
It was a combination of luck and skill.
As he searched for more herbs, he bumped into Sodo and his gang.
Unexpectedly, Sodo managed to find at least a dozen herbs.
However, Gareth noticed the people around Sodo were empty-handed and instantly understood why.
Sodo and his gang knew none could pass the test if they worked separately. Thus, they decided to give one person all the herbs they collected.
However, Gareth shook his head and could not determine why Sodo was chosen to represent them.
Sodo saw that Gareth was about to leave and said, "Stand there."
Gareth ignored him, but someone stood before him and blocked his way.
Gareth paused but did not do anything.
He looked at Sodo sternly. "What do you want?"
Sodo snorted disdainfully. "Gareth, do you think you can pass the test simply by grabbing a few herbs? I see you have quite a lot."
The men behind him laughed as soon as he finished speaking.
Gareth did not bother to talk or defend himself.
He waited for them to finish laughing so that he could leave.
"Gareth, you're only an outsider. Do you think you're better than us? How dare you plan to steal Nomadic Odyssey?"
Gareth stood still. He was not sure how Sodo found out that he wanted Nomadic Odyssey.
Could it be…
No, no way.
Gareth quickly rejected the notion.
He suspected Sodo had hidden behind the wall at Mrs. Kella's house and listened in. However, it did not matter at this point.
After all, Gareth's goal would eventually be revealed after the tournament. All Sodo did was reveal it earlier.
Gareth walked away from them.
He warned without looking back. "Sodo, you ran out of chance."
Gareth had promised Mrs. Kella he would give Sodo a chance, but Sodo had wasted it.
Sodo was puzzled and mistook it as a challenge. Fury rose within him, prompting him to charge toward Gareth.
However, his friends stopped him.
They told him they needed to focus on finding herbs for now and would have ample time to beat Gareth up after the tournament.
Gareth did not know what Sodo was shouting at him.
He only noticed that Sodo's words prompted everyone in the vicinity to look at him differently.
A few people even glared at him with animosity.
Nomadic Odyssey was the village's treasure. Thus, they viewed any outsider seeking it as an enemy.
Furthermore, the said outsider sought to take away their treasure through the warriors' tournament.
An outsider winning the warriors' tournament?
Such a thing had never happened before.
It would be an immense humiliation to the village!
Gareth knew he would be facing even more enemies.
…
Time passed gradually. There was little sand left in the hourglass.
Gareth returned right on time.
The referee announced the end of the test when Gareth arrived. It meant anyone who came after Gareth failed the test.
Gareth looked around to see who had arrived before him. There were more than thirty people, including Sodo.
Sodo glared at him viciously like a viper waiting to strike.
However, Gareth ignored him and handed over the herbs to the referee.
He had finished gathering the herbs much earlier. However, he deliberately delayed returning.
