Chapter 173

The man in the plaid shirt and glasses at the front approached Elijah, asking, “Sir, we’re all here for a holiday, but we got lost. We’ve been stuck here for days. Our luggage is gone, and we’re starving. Do you happen to know the way out of the mountains?”

Elijah remained silent, only meeting the man’s gaze. His obsidian eyes gave nothing away about his thoughts.

The man glanced at the subordinates behind Elijah and continued trying to be friendly. “Sir, it seems like you’re planning to leave the mountains too. How about we join forces? We could look out for each other on the way.”

In contrast to the man’s enthusiasm, Elijah appeared aloof. He studied the group of men behind the plaid–shirted man.

With a military background, Elijah was naturally cautious about strangers suddenly appearing. These people claimed they were on holiday, yet their clothes were not as dirty as they should be after days without washing. In fact, it appeared as if they deliberately dirtied their clothes. Despite their disheveled appearance, their eyes were bright, unlike those starving for days. Elijah frowned, sensing that something was not right about this group. One of his subordinates beside him quickly noticed his change in demeanor and became wary as well. Elijah smiled and replied, “No need to join us. We’re not going the same way.” Then, he turned to leave.

“Well, where are you headed then? Since we’re all out here, it wouldn’t hurt to make some friends,” the plaid–shirted man persisted, attempting to pat Elijah’s shoulder.

Before the man could even touch his shoulder, Elijah grabbed the man’s hand tightly. The atmosphere suddenly grew tense. Elijah held onto the man with one hand and reached toward the man’s pocket.
