Chapter 2532 Unpredictable Intentions
“Ali, there's nothing to fear with Jared around!”
Percy wasn't afraid at all, for he was now blindly worshipping Jared.
“It still pays to be cautious. The journey ahead of us remains a perilous one,” Jared reminded.
For some strange reason, Jared's first impression of Francois was that he was extremely ruthless.
It wasn't until they had traveled for a few hours that the group entered the mountain range where the
sunlight was blocked out by the dense forest.
Even though they were now inside the mountains, everyone remained unfazed. As they were only
moving along its borders, any demon beast that appeared wouldn't be particularly strong. The danger
didn't concern them at all.
Along the way, Brutus constantly tried to talk to Francois, but the latter didn't seem interested in having

“Who in the world is that guy? Dr. Weiss seems to be afraid of him. He's not showing the doctor any
respect despite the latter being someone renowned in Quakersville,” Percy said when he saw how
obsequiously Brutus was behaving toward Francois.
“I've never seen him in Quakersville either. He looks unfamiliar to me,” Ali said as he stared at
Francois.
While Ali spoke, a middle-aged man with a beard approached them and said, “He's Dr. Weiss' senior.
That's why he's so afraid of him.”
Ali responded by giving the man a suspicious glance. One could never be too careful when dealing with
strangers in Ethereal Realm.
Noticing the wary look in Ali's eyes, the middle-aged man introduced himself, “I'm Hefe Granger from
Bliss Village.”
“You're from Bliss Village?” Percy came forward. “How did you get here? Wasn't everyone in Bliss
Village massacred by those from Cyan Village a long time ago?”
Upon hearing Percy's question, Hefe said in a sorrowful tone, “They were, but I managed to escape.
That's why I came back seeking vengeance.”
Seeing that Hefe didn't seem to be lying, Ali felt a sense of sympathy welling up in him. “How are you
going to take revenge alone? You probably can't even break into Cyan Village.”
“I'll definitely have my revenge even if it costs me my life. Dr. Weiss promised to make me a power
burst pill if I were to help him secure his herb.”
The mere mention of the power burst pill piqued everyone's interest, including Jared's.
The power burst pill was capable of dramatically enhancing one's power but could only do so for ten
minutes. Thereafter, its user would explode like a bomb and be blown up into smithereens.
Hefe was prepared to sacrifice his own life for revenge.

“That's right. I've never heard of Dr. Weiss having any seniors, let alone him belonging to a sect.”
Ali had interacted with Brutus a few times, and he had come to Quakersville on more than one
occasion. Yet he had never heard anyone mention such a thing.
After scanning his surroundings, Hefe said softly, “His name is Francois Wurstel, a member of Emerald
Cauldron Sect. Dr. Weiss, too, is a member of the same sect. Francois was the one who ordered Dr.
Weiss to search for the mystical herb.”
Jared stared at Hefe with a grim look on his face. “How do you know so much? Why are you telling us
this?”
Such matters were secret and shouldn't be easily shared. Moreover, it was hard to predict one's
intentions in Ethereal Realm. Given everyone's competing interests, no one would do something for
free.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Hefe, and they all had him surrounded.
