“What is this thing of yours?”
Even though Eileen knew that Donald was drawing a map, she couldn't understand what the map was about.
After Donald finished drawing the map he had seen, he added his own annotations directly onto the map based on his understanding.
These annotations not only sketched out some hidden information, but also made Donald realize that this so-called treasure collection was actually an extremely dangerous place.
“After a while, those people outside will probably start their treasure hunt, and I will join them. When that time comes, stay in this tent and don't come out. I will send someone to rescue you.”
“No way!”
Upon hearing that Donald intended to leave her alone in such a place, Eileen immediately became displeased.
She took a step forward, grasping Donald's hand, and said, “How would I know if you've decided to abandon me? Besides, we're in the vast grasslands. How could anyone related to you possibly travel such a great distance to come rescue me?”
If she had been shot by these mercenaries from the start, Eileen would have accepted her fate, albeit reluctantly.
But now that Donald had rescued her from the hands of these mercenaries, she had seen a glimmer of hope for life.
Now, Eileen would not let this hope slip away from her so easily.
Donald looked at Eileen and said calmly, “The place I'm going to next is very dangerous. If I take you with me, we'll both end up dead. Besides, do you really think those mercenaries would let you come with me when I'm on a mission?”
Eileen fell silent after hearing Donald.
She just felt uneasy, it was not like she was brainless.
So when she heard Donald say that, she knew that she and Donald were destined to part ways from here.
“Are you sure your people can find their way here and defeat these mercenaries?”
