A look of dejection filled Hefe's expression. Initially, he agreed to help Brutus collect herbs because he wanted to avenge his fellow villagers.
Seeing how things had turned out, he couldn't help but feel there was no hope of getting revenge.
Jared could tell what was on Hefe's mind, so he patted the latter's shoulder and said, “Don't worry. As long as I'm still alive, I'll wipe out Cyan Village one day. When that day comes, I'll be sure to bring you along with me.”
Upon hearing that, Hefe gazed at Jared and nodded solemnly. Although I've only just met Jared, I know I can trust him. After all, I know how capable he is.
Emily and Percy said goodbye to Jared reluctantly. In response, Jared repeatedly reminded them to stay alert.
Dangers were always around the corner in the mountain range. Furthermore, Jared didn't know if Leifr would attack Ali and the rest.
“Don't worry about your friends. They'll be safe and sound!” Ivasha assured Jared. With that, she turned toward Leifr and uttered, “Leifr, if something bad happens to them, I'll never take you back!”
“Don't worry, Princess Ivasha. I promise to keep them safe!” Leifr promised.
Shortly after, Jared and Ivasha were left alone in the enormous mountain range after Leifr escorted Ali and the rest out of there.
“Let's go...” Ivasha said to Jared.
“Where are we going? Didn't you say you wanted to talk?” Jared was confused.
“You're right. I want to talk to you, but this is not the right place. As for where we're going, you'll know when we get there!” Ivasha headed straight ahead.
Seeing that, Jared had no choice but to follow after her.
The pair walked for a few hours in silence, Ivasha in front with Jared at the back. A few hours later, Jared felt the sudden change in the aura fluctuation in the surroundings.
