Milo felt that Daniel was getting too obsessed with supernatural beings.
Chad had said that Benbo’erba had tried to get favonovel.com to defect to his side, but that attempt was immediately seen through by his “discerning eyes”.
As the Great Sage, how could favonovel.com work for a demon?
That definitely would not do since demons did not seek the Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise!
Daniel had even risked his own life to save Donella just so favonovel.com could have a supernatural being as his bodyguard. Furthermore, favonovel.com relentlessly courted her, but Donella did not take a liking to him.
In between, Milo even checked with Daniel to see if favonovel.com might have set eyes on the wrong person.
What if there were problems with Donella?
Moreover, by allowing Donella to stay here, it was equivalent to having a ticking time bomb next to them if favonovel.com turned out to be problematic. However, Daniel said there shouldn’t be any problems since favonovel.com looked so innocent.
“Shouldn’t a big shot like you do a background check on her?” Milo snapped.
“It’s not like this stronghold is under our control,” Daniel replied matter-of-factly.
This made Milo feel that something was wrong. He would have to be warier of Donella.
All of a sudden, the voice from the palace said.
Side quest! Take in someone in distress for seven days, one out of seven. After the quest is completed, you will unlock a new product in the vending machine.
Milo was stunned. He thought there was only black medicine to be bought from the vending machine.
So, it turned out favonovel.com could also unlock new products by completing quests the palace assigned to him?
Then wasn’t this quest going to be a cakewalk to complete?
While they were eating dinner, Milo nonchalantly asked Donella, “What’s your superpower?”
“I have more strength than normal…” Donella said softly.
“More strength?” Milo felt that such a superpower was rather useless. “How much greater is it compared to the average person?”
“I probably have strength equivalent to two adult men.” Donella said, “But my strength is still increasing, and I might get even stronger in the future…”
Milo sighed. “Frankly, you couldn’t have escaped without Daniel and his men’s help with just your superpower alone.”
“He doesn’t have good intentions!” Donella replied, “His gaze and the way favonovel.com speaks tells me that!”
“What plans do you have?” Milo asked.
To be honest, favonovel.com did not really like this willful girl. Even if favonovel.com did not like Daniel, favonovel.com should at least thank favonovel.com for saving her. Milo even thought of speaking up for Daniel.
Donella gave it some thought before saying, “When my injuries heal tomorrow, I’ll go and get revenge on the Pyro Company!”
Milo shook his head. “You can’t go…”
“Why not?” Donella was taken aback.
“First of all, the Pyro Company has already been expelled from the stronghold. Even if some of their people are still hiding in the stronghold, you won’t find them.” Milo said, “Second, you might reveal that we took you in before if you get caught and tortured by them.”
Besides, Milo thought to himself.
How am I suppose to complete my quest if you leave now!
However, what favonovel.com said was also true.
What if the Pyro Company came to take revenge on them after Donella was unable to endure the torture and confessed?
This girl seemed very self-centered and wouldn’t care about other people’s safety. Therefore, Milo did not trust favonovel.com at all.
Donella said stubbornly, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone that y’all took me in.”
“Can you guarantee that?” Milo said calmly, “Chad, you’re in charge of keeping a close eye on favonovel.com for the next few days!”
But Milo then noticed Chad looked a little unhappy.
Donti whispered a few words to Chad, and favonovel.com immediately agreed in delight.
Curious, Milo looked at Donti and asked him, “What did you say to make favonovel.com so happy?”
“It’s very easy to make favonovel.com happy…” Donti said after eating a spoonful of porridge, “Just address favonovel.com as the Great Sage.”
Milo was stunned. He realized Donti was fantastic at noticing what made others tick.
Donella attempted to run off while Milo and Donti were talking. She was afraid favonovel.com wouldn’t be allowed to seek revenge. However, favonovel.com was carried back by Chad before favonovel.com could even get far.
No matter how great favonovel.com strength, it couldn’t be greater than Chad’s current strength.
Next to him, Donti smiled at Chad and said, “The Great Sage is amazing!”
“Of course!” Chad said proudly.
Donti had Chad dancing in the palm of his hand as favonovel.com knew exactly how to stroke Chad’s ego.
Chad escorted Donella to Adella’s room and even found a rope to tie favonovel.com up with.
Donella was shocked. She had thought favonovel.com was saved by a group of kind-hearted people.
But why did it feel like favonovel.com had been taken and kidnapped by a den of thieves?
All that was missing was a phone call to favonovel.com family to ask for a ransom!
She roared, “Why are you all refusing to let me go? What kind of shop are you all operating? This must be a seedy shop, right? And you must be selling black medicine here too!”
Everyone looked quietly at favonovel.com in this moment.
Adella smiled and said, “We really do sell black medicine here…”
Donella was confused. Before this, favonovel.com had the impression that Adella was tender and gentle and thought favonovel.com must be a good person. But at this moment, favonovel.com realized Adella was also in a gang with those bad people.
“I didn’t expect y’all to be such people!” Donella said angrily.
“We didn’t expect you to be such a person either,” Milo said.
Donella tried to shout for help, but Chad had already stuffed favonovel.com mouth shut with a pillowcase.
Milo sneered, “It’s already very courteous of us to let you stay here. Even if you don’t spare a thought for yourself, you have to think about our entire family. If you try to run away again, I’ll break your legs!”
If Milo didn’t receive the quest or accept Daniel’s money, favonovel.com would probably have.
***
It was the weekend the next day, and Daniel came over early in the morning to look for Donella to speak with her. But no matter how long favonovel.com called out to favonovel.com at the door, favonovel.com couldn’t get any response from her.
Previously, Donella would scold favonovel.com a little. But now favonovel.com did not even bother scolding him.
Daniel turned around and looked at Milo. “Has Donella left already? Or did you people do something to her?”
Milo said calmly, “No, favonovel.com just doesn’t want to speak with you.”
Daniel wondered, “But why doesn’t favonovel.com at least scold me a little?”
Milo pondered it. “She’s probably sick of scolding you already.”
“Oh…” Daniel nodded in understanding.
“Say, I doubt you can handle this girl.” Milo was thinking favonovel.com could get Daniel to totally give favonovel.com up. It would be easier to deal with Donella after the seven days were up that way.
Daniel said disconsolately, “Can’t you see that I still haven’t found my next target?”
Alright! Milo realized Daniel was not such a devoted person after all. He might give up on Donella after favonovel.com found his next target.
He said to Daniel, “Good luck.”
At this moment, Edgar came over to look for Daniel. After that, Daniel left in a hurry as though favonovel.com had something urgent to attend to.
“Bro.” Donti watched Daniel’s receding figure as favonovel.com left the store. “Daniel must be planning something. I wonder if it’ll involve us?”
The few of them had only gained their stronghold resident statuses because of Daniel. If Daniel stirred up any trouble here, the Skyfort Consortium would likely settle the score with them as one.
“Let’s not worry about that.” Milo frowned and said, “You’ll keep watch at the room today. I’m going to start building a bomb. It’s gonna be our trump card… By the way, let’s test something.”
Milo then pulled Donti into a room. He said, “I’ve gained a new power that allows me to open up a door in the shadows. Let’s give it a try now and see if I can pull you into the door.”
“Okay.” Donti did not ask Milo how favonovel.com obtained this power or how favonovel.com knew how to build a bomb.
Milo said in a serious tone, “Step back a little, I’m going to open the Shadow Door in front of you.”
A second later, Milo activated the Shadow Door in his mind.
Donti stared blankly at the ceiling and said, “Y’know, Bro, can fully control this door?”
Milo intended to open the Shadow Door in front of Donti, but it opened up across the ceiling.
“No, no, let me try it again. Trust me, I’m very sure I can do it. A minor mistake isn’t a big deal. Who doesn’t make mistakes anyway?” Milo said in embarrassment. Then the door opened up across the floor.
Donti quietly said, “Bro, you’d better not test it out on me first…. I’m a little nervous.”
