Chapter 793: Heading To The Precipice Cave
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ruby couldn’t understand why Uncle Ted would agree to Connor’s conditions. After all, those who went to the Precipice Cave were there for the medicinal herbs.

If they brought Connor and the others with them now, it would be equivalent to finding a time bomb for themselves.

After hearing Ruby’s question, Uncle Ted frowned and said in a low voice, “Miss, since we are all heading to the Precipice Cave, why don’t we become companions? We can take care of each other along the way…”

“Who wants to partner up with them?” Ruby replied unhappily as if she was very disdainful of Connor.

“Miss, please listen to me this time!” The middle-aged man said to Ruby seriously.

He knew he was stronger than Carlos, but if Connor and Diana attacked together, the middle-aged man would be heavily injured even if he won.

Therefore, rather than wasting time with Connor and the others, agreeing with Connor’s condition was better.

When Ruby saw the serious expression on Uncle Ted’s face, she couldn’t help but frown. Then, she said in a low voice, “All right then, I will not interfere in this…”

“You agreed to my conditions, right?” Connor looked at the middle-aged man and asked.

“Yeap…” The middle-aged man nodded lightly.

“When do you plan to leave?” Connor looked at the middle-aged man and asked.

“The sooner, the better…” The middle-aged man slowly replied.

“All right, we’ll set off at 7 AM tomorrow. We’ll still gather here, but I won’t let you take this person away…” Connor pointed at Timothy and said expressionlessly.

“Whatever you say!” the middle-aged man replied. He turned around and walked out of the courtyard without saying anything else. It was as if he was unafraid that Connor and the others would run away with Timothy.

Meanwhile, Ruby turned around and glared at Connor before leaving the courtyard.

“Mr. McDonald, if you hadn’t stopped me just now, I might have been able to defeat this person…” Carlos said to Connor with an unconvinced expression.

“So what if I’m defeated?” Connor said lightly.

“If I can defeat this person, we don’t have to go to the Precipice Cave with them. What if precious herbs are in the Precipice Cave, and they snatch them from us?” Carlos looked at Connor and continued asking.

“That is why I am telling you not to fight with him now. It will not be too late to wait until we reach the Precipice Cave and find the medicinal herbs. There is no need to waste your energy now. After all, we have come for the medicinal herbs this time around…” Connor said to Carlos.

“Mr. McDonald wants these people to lead the way before us. If we encounter any danger, these people will charge forward. We can save some effort if we get the medicinal herbs Mr. McDonald is looking for…” Diana explained to Carlos with a smile.

“I see…” Carlos only understood what was happening when he heard Diana’s explanation. So he quickly nodded.

Connor narrowed his eyes as he looked at the backs of Ruby and the others.

In fact, Connor knew that the middle-aged man agreed to his condition because he also thought so.

“Carlos, stay here and help me watch this person. I’ll go back with Diana first. We’ll come back to you tomorrow morning!” Connor was worried Timothy would run away overnight, so he deliberately left Carlos behind.

“Yes, Mr. McDonald!” Carlos nodded quickly after hearing Connor’s order.

Connor then followed Diana out of the courtyard.

Meanwhile…

After Ruby and the middle-aged man left Timothy’s courtyard, Ruby was confused.

She could not help but ask the middle-aged man, “Uncle Ted, I just don’t understand. Why do we have to bring those people with us? Can’t we go there ourselves?”

“Carlos is quite skilled. We happen to lack a scout. If they can help us scout, we can save much trouble….” The middle-aged man replied indifferently.

“Uncle Ted, you’re planning to let them be scapegoats!” Ruby smiled and continued, “What if these people snatch the medicinal herbs in the Precipice Cave from us when we reach it?”

“If they dare to snatch that herb from us, I’ll kill them!” When the middle-aged man said this, his expression was icy.

In his eyes, killing Connor and Carlos was as easy as killing a mouse.

The next day, at 7 AM.

Connor and Diana Murphy arrived at Timothy’s house again.

When Connor appeared, Ruby and the others were already waiting at the entrance.

Ruby was furious when she saw Connor and Diana walking over slowly.

She walked to Connor and shouted, “What’s wrong with you guys? Do you know how long we have been waiting for you here? Why don’t you have any sense of time?”

“Didn’t I tell you that we will meet at 7 AM? What does it have to do with me that you came early?” Connor glanced at Ruby and said expressionlessly.

After hearing Connor’s words, Ruby’s eyes flashed with anger. She shouted fiercely at Connor, “Are you still trying to defend yourself? It’s already 7:01, and you’re saying I’m early. I’ve never seen such a shameless person like you…”

Connor faintly smiled when he heard Ruby’s words. However, he didn’t continue to pay attention to her. Instead, he approached the middle-aged man and asked softly, “Can we set off now?”

“Yes.” The middle-aged man nodded, then pointed at a few off-road vehicles parked by the roadside and said, “The road conditions to the Precipice Cave are very bumpy, so I’ve prepared a few off-road vehicles. When the time comes, we’ll take the off-road vehicles!”

“All right…” Connor nodded.

A few minutes later, Connor and the others got into the off-road vehicle and drove toward the Precipice Cave.

Connor, Diana, and Carlos were in an SUV. There was a driver in the car, but Diana didn’t trust him, so she chased him out of the car and made Carlos drive.

Timothy sat in the SUV at the front and led the way.

Just like that, the people sat in the off-road vehicle and drove out of Medicine Kings’ Valley.
