Death… And Me

Chapter 1235: Tenke Leaves

”Tiffany...” Some of the people from the Tenke Kingdomʼs group wanted to leave straight away. Most of them might be geniuses at controlling Yin Energy. However, they didnʼt think they could survive such a huge burst of Yin Energy and Dark Element at the same time.

Tiffany had to admit she didnʼt have much of a wish to stay here anymore as well. ʼDo you think we should leave?ʼ Tiffany asked Roan.

Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, ʼThe problem here is that all Iʼve said so far is nothing but a theory. I do believe Iʼm right. However, if Iʼm not, then you guys might be losing out on a great opportunity. Do you think itʼs worth the wait? Perhaps you can leave fast enough since youʼre ready to get out of here. Perhaps even if you react fast enough, you wonʼt be able to outrun the danger. Or perhaps thereʼs no danger to start with. First of all, even if thereʼs no such thing as a burst of Yin Energy and Dark Element, you donʼt know what dangers could be waiting for you on the other side. Last but not least... those dark spheres above the gate might not mean anything, and this gate wonʼt open at all. In the end, the decisionʼs up to you guys.ʼ

Tiffany nodded in response. However, she wanted to hear Roanʼs own choice. ʼWhat about you and your brother? Are you guys staying?ʼ

Roan understood why she asked that, so he immediately corrected Tiffany. ʼYouʼre getting the wrong idea here. Iʼm staying, but thatʼs not because I think Iʼm wrong. On the contrary, Iʼm pretty sure Iʼm right. The difference is that my Elemental Affinity is Darkness. It doesnʼt matter how much Dark Element is present in an environment. It simply has no effect on my body whatsoever.ʼ

Rean also added, ʼIn my case, I have Light Element Affinity, which is the bane of Dark Element and vice versa. I can totally resist Dark Element without any issues.ʼ Well, Rean was connected with Roan and could use Elemental Exchange, so he didnʼt even need his Light Element to resist Dark Element.

Rean then looked at Liana after that, telling her, ʼWith that said, you should really consider leaving this place together with your kingdomʼs people. The final decision is up to you, but itʼs not like you guys canʼt do anything without seeing whatʼs behind that door.ʼ

In the end, Liana, Tiffany, and the rest of the members of the Tenke Kingdom decided to vote through Divine Sense messages. Of course, they still pretended that nothing was wrong as they didnʼt want to alert the rest of the groups. Sure enough, the risk was too big without any guarantee of a reward, so the majority decided to leave.

Rean and Roan didnʼt mind, though. ʼHave a safe trip.ʼ

Tiffany narrowed her eyes. ʼYou do know that if I leave, Granto might try something against you, right?ʼ

Roan shook his head, saying, ʼHe wonʼt. When he attacked a moment ago, it became very obvious that the rest of the groups didnʼt like it. No one wants to start a fight before finding out whatʼs behind the gate. Besides, he saw us reaching for our spatial rings, so he definitely thinks we have some life-saving treasures that might give him more trouble than he wants. In the end, he doesnʼt know weʼre his target. He and his group have to wait.

Liana then asked something else. ʼWhat about after the gate opens? Would he take that opportunity to get rid of you because of the humiliation?ʼ

Rean was the one to answer that question, telling her, ʼNo. If it opens and nothing happens, all the groups will rush inside, aiming to grab the treasures for themselves. The last thing in his mind will be to stay behind to deal with us. He definitely wants to be at the forefront of what will happen there.ʼ

Liana and the others had to admit Reanʼs words made sense.

The Tenke Kingdom then finally decided to turn around and leave the room. They left in a calm manner, not caring about what the rest of the groups would think about it. However... Liana didnʼt leave.

Roan narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. ʼI have nothing to do with it if you die later.ʼ

Liana nodded, telling him, ʼI donʼt expect you to.ʼ

Unsurprisingly, Liana wasnʼt the only one. Tiffany was also going to leave. However, after seeing that Liana decided to stay behind, she gritted her teeth and did the same thing. ʼI canʼt possibly let you out here alone, so Iʼm staying as well.ʼ That obviously made Liana very happy.

However, the problem was the other groups. In the end, some of them couldnʼt help but ask Tiffany why most of her team left. ”Oh! Do you want to know? Then why donʼt you follow them? Of course, thatʼs only if you want to leave this gate behind.”

Everyone didnʼt know what to do. Some felt that something wasnʼt right. But then again, Tiffany herself stayed. Was that a trap? Maybe the Tenke Kingdom was trying to lure some of their competitors away from the door so that they would have less competition when it opened later. Or maybe they knew some other route that the others hadnʼt found yet. It was hard to tell which one was the right decision. Well, no one wanted to give up the possible treasures behind the gate, so not a single group moved in the end. But that was mainly because Tiffany herself stayed behind.

Granto, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Liana. Obviously, Liana looked completely different from the Liana he knew. ʼCould that girl be her? In that case, would one of the guys on her side be that Roan that Sect Master talked about?ʼ He had no way of confirming it, especially with Tiffany there. Also, he did see the elements that Rean and Roan used to defend against his attack, and it wasnʼt Dark Element. ʼForget it. I wonʼt act unless Iʼm certain.ʼ
