The Man's Decree novel Chapter 2533

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.
