But Dustin’s attitude only stirred Vanessa’s competitive spirit.
“Hey, can’t you be a little friendlier?” Vanessa pouted teasingly.

“You’ll be fine with a couple of sleeping pills. Goodbye,” Dustin replied curtly before walking away.
“Wait, mister!”

“I’m here!” Vanessa waved at them, her spirits lifting.
“Where did you go, Vanessa?
“Why didn’t you inform us? We were so worried!” The woman in red feigned annoyance.
“What happened to you, Vanessa? And why are you dressed like this? Did something bad happen?”

“This is my senior, Nathan Hoyles. Mind if I ask for your name?”
“My surname’s Rhys.” Dustin nodded politely in return.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Rhys.” Emily smiled.

Meskill’s tomb?”
“Hmm?” Dustin raised an eyebrow, surprised.
“How did you know?”
“Just a hunch.” Emily smiled.
“Lester’s been lively today, and even Azure Mist received news about it, too. So, other than tourists,

“You’ll even get a share of the treasure once we find it.” Emily insisted.
When she saw Dustin hesitate, she added, “The Black Forest is dangerous and filled with poisonous
mist.
“People who don’t know their way around that place will get lost easily. However, we’re locals, so it’ll be
safer for you to travel with us.”
“Emily/let’s not force someone.” Nathan’s tone held some annoyance.
Others would have jumped at the chance to travel with them, yet Dustin was still hesitating
What a fool!
“The Black Forest is dangerous. It’ll be safer if you travel with us,” Vanessa said.
She was grateful for what he’d done for her, so she didn’t want him risking his life in vain.
Dustin gave it some thought and agreed. “I’ll accept your offer since you insist.”
He wasn’t familiar with the Black Forest, so having a guide would save a lot of trouble.
