165 Do You Have The Confidence To Deal With Them?
The Light Mage and the other Light-Type heroes had yet to understand the severity of the situation.
They still believed that the Red-Eyed Black Dragon had handed the gems to make Su Wan trust them.
The Starlight Swordsman stared at Su Wan in disbelief. “No…,” he said. “She only has one gem.”
The Starlight Swordsman had a unique ability that could sense the aura of things. He could sense the aura of only one gem on Su Wan. He was confused. Su Wan should be in possession of two gems at this point. Her own gem and Lord Bevin’s gem that he had given her to gain her trust.
What the Red-Eyed Black Dragon said didn’t match with what the Starlight Swordsman felt. The Starlight Swordsman explained this to the others. They were stunned. Either Su Wan had somehow hidden the gems, or Lord Bevin was lying to them.
However, Su Wan couldn’t hide the gems right now. There was no place to hide them. Besides, the Starlight Swordsman could sense only one gem on Su Wan.
The Light Mage turned to Bevin. “You! You are lying to us! You pocketed the gems, didn’t you?” She thought Lord Bevin might have told his hero, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, to hide the gems somewhere else. And now, Bevin was lying and claiming that Su Wan took it!
He had taken the gems from them, after all. They hadn’t seen them being handed over to Su Wan. There was only one possibility. Lord Bevin was lying!
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon was absolutely perplexed. He didn’t expect the Light-Types to ignore his explanation and turn against Bevin.
Lord Bevin felt bitter and frustrated. How could he have the courage to steal gems from three strong Light-Types? They didn’t even suspect the Red-Eyed Black Dragon.
Su Wan was almost happy to see the enemies fighting among themselves. She didn’t say anything. She quietly watched the show.
Su Wan asked Xu Yuan in a low voice, “Xu Yuan, If the three of them come after us after dealing with Bevin, do you have the confidence to deal with them?”
Su Wan was not a fool. Although she enjoyed watching the enemy fight each other, she knew that they were the next target after Bevin was dealt with.
Su Wan wanted to know if Xu Yuan had any ideas on how to escape the situation. If Xu Yuan wasn’t confident enough to deal with all of them together, then Su Wan needed to think of a way to escape.
Xu Yuan didn’t answer immediately. He looked at the energy wall around him. This was a trap the Light-Types had set up for Su Wan.
Su Wan saw Xu Yuan’s solemn face and didn’t say anything further. Xu Yuan was watching the surrounding walls intently.
Su Wan realized that something was terribly wrong. His silence worried her more than anything else.
‘This can’t be right,’ she thought. ‘Even Xu Yuan doesn’t have a solution for these walls?’
The White Dragon Saint was speechless as he looked at Xu Yuan and Su Wan whispering at each other. The White Dragon Saint could see that Xu Yuan was deliberately teasing Su Wan.
Xu Yuan pretended to be solemn and worried to intentionally mislead Su Wan into thinking that they were really trapped.
Xu Yuan didn’t even say anything. His little actions worried Su Wan so much that she made her own imaginary conclusions.
The White Dragon Saint saw all this. He didn’t dare expose Xu Yuan. He stood there quietly. He also acted somber and worried and went along with Xu Yuan’s act.
Su Wan saw the White Dragon Saint and noticed that he, too, was serious. Su Wan was now even more certain that they were trapped.
‘It’s over!’ thought Su Wan. ‘This is how I die!’
Her face was sad and bitter. Ever since she became a Lord, she had never died. She didn’t need to use her resources to resurrect herself until now. That was because everything they had encountered so far had been frightening but not life-threatening.
However, Su Wan felt that this was different. The more she thought about it, the more she panicked.
Meanwhile, Lord Bevin was about to go crazy. Since his hero had already joined Su Wan from the beginning, he would stop pretending too.
“I am not lying,” he said. “She took the gems!” Bevin pointed at Su Wan.
“You are lying!” shouted the Straight Swordsman. “If that is true, why do I only sense the aura of one gem on her?”
The Straight Swordsman was certain of the fact that Lord Bevin had taken the gems from him. He had never seen Bevin give it to Su Wan. Besides, Su Wan had never left the trap, so how could she hide the gems somewhere else?
Bevin was in the middle of it all. He probably had his hero hide the gems before he stepped into the encirclement!
The Starlight Swordsman was unable to guess how Bevin had done it, but he was sure that he could only sense one gem on Su Wan.
Lord Bevin shook his head fiercely. He didn’t know how he could make them believe him. He had done nothing!
Su Wan calmed herself. She analyzed the current situation. The only one she could use for now to buy some time was Lord Bevin. If she said that she didn’t get any gems from him, the enemies would continue pestering him for now. Su Wan could use that time to figure out a way to escape the trap.
“What do you mean, Bevin?” said Su Wan. “You didn’t give me any gems! You traitor! You lied to me, and now you are throwing the blame on me?”
Su Wan slowly approached Bevin while she signaled to Xu Yuan to quickly think of an escape. Meanwhile, she would try stalling for more time.
