Chapter 157: Chapter 40_2

Fang Hong quickly saw that the adventurers had completed their preparations.

However, to his slight surprise, among those people, he saw two familiar faces—if he was not mistaken, the delicate girl carrying a box was none other than Hilveld, who had left without saying goodbye before, and standing next to the girl was her maid.

Nevertheless, they did not seem to be part of the adventurer group, standing far off to the side, watching the scene unfold. It appeared she had also spotted Fang Hong from a distance, but at this range, she probably hadn't recognized him and his companions just yet.

Fang Hong instinctively shrank back—the Fairy Construct she had entrusted to him was still in his possession, and although he knew it was a bit delusional and not exactly moral, he couldn't help but hope that she had simply forgotten about it.

That would be for the best.
