บท 1377: 1377. Divine Demon

'So that's their plan,' Noah thought after Boss Van's words reached his ears.

Using Noah as bait wasn't a bad strategy in theory. Chief Ash and Boss Van were unaware of the actual nature of his relationship with Divine Demon. They didn't mind testing him in that mission.

Even if Noah were to betray them in the middle of the mission, they would gain an idea of Divine Demon's position. That was already good for their plan. The entire guild could encircle him at that point.

The guild wouldn't lose anything even if Noah were to run away without searching for Divine Demon. Boss Van would only change tactics at that point.

Still, they didn't suspect the worst-case scenario. Noah wasn't a simple cultivator who had learnt legends about Divine Demon during his stay in the lower plane. He was his heir, and leaving him alone with the expert could lead to unexpected outcomes.
