Alban remained silent, his gaze fixated on the mineral water bottle in Josh’s hand.

He observed as Josh downed half the bottle and carelessly discarded it into his school bag.

Originally, Alban had intended to wait for Drake and Josh to leave so he could retrieve the empty bottles. After all, there would still be a few drops of water left inside.

However, his plan was unexpectedly foiled.

Unconsciously, Alban’s fists clenched, torn between the embarrassment of waiting to collect the empty bottle and the fact that he had gone to great lengths to obtain the less pure cold pool water.

Some people spend their entire lives on difficult paths, while others are born into privilege.

Lost in his thoughts, Alban reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flat box, extracting a soul flower from within. He popped it into his mouth like a snack, chewing it a few times before swallowing it.

Alban was silent.

Ah, yes, the soul flowers!

Just yesterday, Lilly had placed a whole petal of a soul flower on Josh’s scraped elbow!

Alban believed that only Lilly could possess such items as soul flowers and water from the ice pond. Yet, he never expected that even ordinary individuals like Drake and Josh had them!

“Who’s there?”

Drake sensed a presence and swiftly turned around, only to discover Alban standing amidst the woods.

Upon consuming the water and the soul flower, Josh experienced an instantaneous resurgence of physical strength, leaving him feeling refreshed and revitalized. He rose to his feet, his guard up as he questioned, “Why are you here? What do you want?”

Alban maintained an impassive expression and replied, “You don’t have to be so wary. I don’t intend to steal from you.”

With those words, he turned around and left.

Puzzled, Josh wondered, “What was he up to?”

Had he been spying on them? It seemed strange…
