Chapitre 549: Trailing

Ali scratched her cheek.

"You ask me if I know them; I'd rather ask you! They clearly came for you."

Undoubtedly, this was a classic case of deflecting responsibility.

Although Ali was unaware of Gick's specific intentions, the cloaked figures' relentless pursuit of her life indicated that Gick certainly marked her as a target, likely a priority second only to whatever was hidden within the subhuman village.

Suddenly, Ali thought of the deep red wolf head in the cabin.

According to Jelia's later explanation, it was undoubtedly an orc legacy.

Could that be Gick's target?

Ali pondered for a moment, her thoughts spinning in her head, yet ultimately, she chose not to voice her speculation.

It seemed wiser not to get entangled in these mysterious affairs.

She had been dragged into this mess and thought escaping and striking Gick a vicious blow on her way out would suffice.
