บท 357: Flawless Stratagem

Shadow Elf continued, "In the upcoming events, all we ask of you is assistance. We will not hold your previous actions against you, for you, too, have fallen victim to the deception of the God of Curses."

He understood the innkeeper's anguish and her desperation to undo the tragedy of losing her son.

Shadow Elf believed that her cooperation was essential in uncovering the ultimate strategy of the God of Curses.

Without her help, they would be left vulnerable and unprepared for whatever malevolent plans the god had in store.

As Shadow Elf conversed with the innkeeper, in another realm, Ethan and the God of Curses remained locked in their tense standoff.

Confronted with the God of Curses' inquiries, Ethan chose to withhold any response.

He was uncertain if the God of Curses possessed additional trump cards up his sleeve, and caution dictated his silence.
