Chapter 1423 -1423: Coexistence of Danger and Opportunity

Guinevere Lee’s tone was full of regrets, but the sarcasm on her face was undisguised.

“Guinevere, it won’t be easy for you to find someone who truly cares about you like this.” Justin Vasquez laughed.

Guinevere Lee scoffed, “True feelings? What true feelings? With my talent and family background, I’m among the best in the Southern Province, right? Do I really have to settle for a loser?”

Justin seemed reluctant to argue with her about this issue, so he changed the subject: “Anyway, it has nothing to do with us.”

Guinevere grunted in agreement and continued, “By the way, I’m planning to seclude myself for a while, and I happen to need a few herbs. I’ll borrow some from you for now.”

“Are the herbs in your basement?” With that, Guinevere stood up and walked towards the basement.

Justin quickly grabbed Guinevere and laughed, “Let me bring them to you another day.”

Guinevere gave him a suspicious look, “I can just go get them myself, why the trouble?”

Justin shook his head repeatedly, “I’ll bring them another day.”

Guinevere looked Justin up and down and jokingly said, “What, are you hiding a woman in your basement?”

Justin forced a smile and said, “Alright, I just ordered some food. Let’s eat first.”

Guinevere shrugged, “Fine, but you’d better remember to deliver them to me. I’ll give you a list later.”

“Alright.” Justin couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

…

In the basement.

Ethan Smith scanned his surroundings.

To his surprise, he found a large number of treasures hidden in this huge basement.

There were not only countless magic coins, banknotes, and herbs, but also many top-tier Magic Weapons.

For a moment, even Ethan was dazzled and dumbfounded.

“So many treasures… what is the background of the Vasquez family?” Ethan couldn’t help but swallow.

The treasures that Justin possessed far exceeded Ethan’s imagination.

More importantly, who knew if this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Justin’s father was once at the Reversion Void Stage, and they must have been a very prominent family.

Such a family would naturally have countless legacies and resources.

Perhaps it was because of this that Justin had managed to keep so many treasures.

“What a pity there’s no Life Aura.” Ethan sighed.

If he could obtain Life Aura, he wouldn’t have to hide like this anymore.

Speaking of which, Justin was really bold to let Ethan hide in such a place. Wasn’t he afraid that Ethan would steal all the treasures while he was here?

Ethan shook his head helplessly and took a deep breath, feeling the abundant qi from all around him.

This couldn’t help but make Ethan feel a longing.

Time flew by, and the sky gradually darkened.

After a hearty meal, Guinevere finally left the place.

Justin came to the basement entrance, raised his palm, muttered softly, and a seal formed in front of him.

As the seal fell, the entrance of the basement slowly opened.

“Mr. Smith, you can come out now.” Justin spoke to Ethan.

Ethan grunted in response, stomped his foot, and leaped out of the basement.

“Justin, thank you for your hospitality during this time. I plan to leave for now.” Ethan said to Justin.

Justin frowned, “Why, Mr. Smith? Although my place isn’t a long-term solution, they shouldn’t be able to find you here for a while. You can stay for a few more days, and I can think of a solution for you.”

Ethan forced a smile, “No need, Justin. I’ve troubled you enough during this time, and I can’t drag you down any further.”

“I heard your conversation with Guinevere just now, so… I’d better leave.”

Justin smiled bitterly, “Mr. Smith, you’re overthinking it. Give me a few days, and I’ll come up with a solution.”

Although Justin tried his best to persuade him, Ethan was adamant about leaving.

Seeing this, Justin had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

“Mr. Smith, where do you plan to go after leaving the Vasquez family?” Justin asked.

Ethan said in a deep voice, “I’ll go to Azure Rock Forest. It’s relatively safer for me.”

Justin grunted and said, “Azure Rock Forest is a place full of both danger and opportunity. If you’re lucky, you might find the Life Aura you need.”

Ethan nodded, “I used to work for the Hunter organization and have some experience.”

Justin laughed, “Besides the Hunter organization, many independent adventurers would team up to go to Azure Rock Forest. I’ve been there once myself.”

With that, Justin waved his hand and said, “Never mind, let’s not talk about this now. Mr. Smith, be careful anyway. If I have any good news, I’ll definitely let you know.”

“Thank you.” Ethan bowed.

Just as Ethan was about to leave, Justin suddenly stopped him.

He hurriedly walked over and took out a token from his Spatial Magic Artifact.

“Mr. Smith, as long as you crush this token, I will sense your location. Similarly, if I crush the token in my hand, you will also know my location.” Justin said.

“If I have any news, I will crush the token immediately. At that time, you should also crush the token in your hand, and I will find you according to your location.”
