Lucy! She was the girl of the indigenous people who took Vivian and the rest to the subterranean river to search for the black stone back then at Aquene Temple.
She had even stayed with them at Oceanic Estate for a while.
However, she returned to her village when it was time for Vivian, Matteo, and lan to go to school.
Why is she here?How is she related to Elysium? Vivian widened her eyes in disbelief.
As for Kurt, his gaze darkened when he saw the girl, and a cold glint flashed past his eyes.
Lucy was at a loss for words.
"Lucy, what are you looking at? Aren't we going back to eat? Why are you still standing there?" the middle-aged man asked, noticing that his niece was staring in the direction of Vivian and Kurt.
He walked over suspiciously, trying to figure the situation out.
In the nick of time, Lucy ran back while replying, "It's nothing.Who are those people? I've not seen them here before."
"Oh, they're probably from a neighboring tribe, trying to climb over the borders.It's fine.Let's go home and eat."
After hearing Lucy's words, the middle-aged man did not ask any further questions before turning around, preparing to leave.
Vivian heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that.She was really glad that Lucy did not expose them.
Otherwise, they would surely be in deep trouble.
Just when they thought everything was fine, the middle-aged man suddenly turned back and said sternly, "The two of you, leave right now! Stop sneaking around, understand? Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
Vivian was stunned at the man’s sudden outburst while Kurt exuded an air of hostility.
However, they merely kept quiet and restrained themselves.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man left with Lucy after giving them that warning.
After both of them were gone, Vivian asked, "Kurt, what should we do now? If they won't let us in, how are we supposed to meet up with Daphne?"
"Then we'll take the same route she took," the young man replied with a crease between his brows as he gazed at the majestic mountain ahead of them.
Vivian's expression changed instantly.
The same route she took? Isn't that area taken over by the remnants of this tribe? Wouldn't it be very dangerous if we travel by that path? "Kurt, can't we go another way instead? lan said that it'll be really dangerous for us to venture there if it's really where those people reside."
Vivian looked toward the young man with a worried expression on her face.However, the fact was that they simply had no other options.
Kurt did not know of any other routes they could take that would allow them to reach the entrance of River of Styx by the agreed time.
If they didn't show up by then, that woman might end up changing her mind.
