Chapter 1862 To Repay Kindness

“This place looks familiar. How long have you been living here?” Joy asked.

A thoughtful look flashed across Frida’s eyes. “I’ve been living here since I was a teenager.”

“Really?” Joy could not believe her answer. “Why did you choose to come here in the first place?”

Tears welled up in Frida’s eyes as flashes of memory popped up in her mind. She answered, “To repay someone’s kindness!”

“What do you mean?”

“To repay someone’s kindness for rescuing me!”

“Who’s your benefactor? Someone living in this mountain?”

Frida looked at Joy with her teary eyes and nodded.

Joy felt sorry for Frida. She could not help but sigh. “You must have led a tough life!”

Upon hearing Joy’s remark, Frida could no longer hold back her emotions and started crying.

Someone had said the same words to Frida many years ago too. “You must have led a tough life. Would you like to come with me?”

Once again, Frida was touched by those comforting words.

Nicole was taken aback by the interaction between Frida and Joy. Did she burst into tears because Joy sympathized with her, or did Joy say something that had triggered her suppressed emotions? What in the world is going on?

Suddenly, Joy sneezed when a wind gushed through. Frida looked at her with care. “The wind is getting stronger. Shall we take shelter in a cave? There’s a cave nearby.”

Joy looked at Nicole and waited for her answer. Nicole nodded in agreement because she believed Frida did not come with an ill intention.

Frida led the way and brought them to a cave nearby.

Meanwhile, over on the other side, Evan and the others had entered the treasure cave. They saw Steven sitting there, looking utterly disheveled. His bodyguards were also all wounded. It looked as if they had just ended a fight.

Steven instantly put his guard up when he noticed Evan entered the cave with Elias and Gale. “Why are you two doing here? Why are you with them?”

Davin answered, “They’re with us now!”

Steven looked at them in disbelief.

The Guardians of Daemonic Mount are willing to become their subordinates? Why?

Gale reprimanded Davin, “Don’t talk nonsense. We wouldn’t have allowed you to enter the mountain had you not threatened us with Shermaine!”

Steven finally understood what had happened.

I see. They threatened the Guardians.

“You better keep your promise, Evan. Once you’ve completed your mission, you must return Shermaine to us.”

“You have my word!” Evan agreed.

They then dashed into the cave and stood in front of a stone door. Upon seeing words beside the door, everyone turned their gaze to Zayden.

Zayden frowned and asked in curiosity, “What?”

“Do you want to be a hero, Zayden?”

Zayden thought about it and nodded.

“Then come and feed this stone dragon three drops of blood.”

Zayden was struck dumb for a second. He turned to Davin and asked, “Why my blood? Besides, it’s just a stone dragon. How could it drink my blood?”

He might be a child, but what he said made sense.

Instead of going into the details, Davin explained, “The stone dragon will come to life and open its mouth after drinking your blood. That’s how powerful your blood is.”

“That’s a lie, Daddy! How could it drink blood when it’s made of stone? It’ll never come alive.”

Evan and Levant exchanged glances as if they had thought of a better explanation.

Levant explained, “There’s something similar to a passcode system in the stone dragon, but we can’t access it with a password or thumbprint. To unlock the system, we need a special blood type.”
