    Levant watched in amusement as Shermaine flipped the script and caused Davin’s big move to


    backfire.


    He cleared his throat and strode over.


    “I’d say, don’t have him go back just yet. Send Jensen and Darius back with the antidote for Faye and


    also have them check in with Aunt Sophia and Uncle Jonathan to set their minds at ease. Davin’s


    molly-coddling as an uncle isn’t good for Maya’s personal growth. It may be better for her to go through


    the paces herself. After all, there’s surely no way for Davin to follow her into the Simpson residence in


    the event Maya got herself married to Wilbur now, right?”


    Seeing that Levant was speaking up for him, Davin went along with an agreeable nod.


    “Right. Of course. Think he’s got a point there, Evan. Maya’s still got an older sister like Nina to look out


    for her! Besides, if she can’t manage it, there’s still Dad, Mom, and Kai. With Mom’s short-fuse, she’ll


    never stand by while Maya is being bullied. So I think… we don’t have to worry too much about it, and


    there isn’t any reason for me to head back earlier either!”


    The reticent Evan regarded Davin for a while. “All right. It’s gettingte. We ought to head back!”


    With that, the former turned and started his descent from the mountain.


    Shermaine did not hasten to catch up. Instead, she red at the pesky Levant and Davin for spoiling


    things for her.


    If I’m able to somehow convert these two potholes into stepping stones, won’t that bring me that much


    closer to sess with Evan? Now, what would they fancy, and how might I be able to win them over?


    Being fixated upon so tantly made Davin and Levant squirm.


    “Why are you staring at us like that?” Davin asked.


    “I was just wondering, what exactly is the deal with you two? Why are you both being so detestable?”


    Shermaine rolled her eye at them before she rescinded her gaze.


    “Us? Detestable? You’ve got some cheek talking like that after what you did to have my brother turn out


    this way. To think you’d even try to pass yourself off as someone else’s wife? Not only are you


    detestable, but you’re alsopletely indecent, utterly depraved, and categorically despicable. I can’t


    even begin to describe how you are!” Davin let her know in no uncertain terms what he thought of her.


    At first ck-jawed, Shermaine bounced back with a serene smile. “Say whatever you like! It doesn’t


    bother me, so long as I’m able to get what I want!”


    “Hah! You’re downright… incorrigible.” To Davin, she was t-out the most thick-skinned girl he had


    ever met, being as sé as she was even after being savaged like that.


    Levant’s lips lifted into a smile as he went straight to the point. “I suppose you haven’t gone after Evan


    because you’ve something that you wish to say to us, Ms. Shermaine?”


    Only then did Shermaine shift her gaze from Davin to Levant.


    “Indeed! What I’d like to know is, what exactly do you two need? What is it that you want?”


    “What do we…” Levant scrutinized her in puzzlement. “Why are you even asking this, Ms. Shermaine?”


    “Let’s cut out the charade. Every person whoes to Daemonic Mount is after the treasure, so am I


    right to presume that that’s what both of you are also after as well? Tell you what. Why don’t we cut a


    deal? I’ll let you know where the treasure is hidden so you can go find it. In exchange, you stay out of


    my business with Evan. How does that sound?”


    So, she meant to try and strike a bargain with us.


    Levant narrowed his eyes enigmatically and acted as though his interest had been piqued.


    “You’d really tell us where the treasure is?”


    Shermaine was gleeful to see Levant’s responsiveness and knew that apart from Evan, there was no


    one who had no designs on the treasure.


    Using the treasure as a diversion at this point is timely.


    “I most certainly will! The attainment of the treasure will make you invincible, so you’ve everything to


    gain and nothing to lose from this exchange!”


    Davin was no longer able to keep his cool when he saw that Levant seemed to be verging on an


    agreement.


    “You aren’t seriously going to forsake my brother and sister-inw for the sake of the treasure now, are


    you, Levant? H-How could you be so greedy? You can’t be such a sellout! You can’t do this!”


    Levant smiled at him. “It isn’t greed. The lure of invincibility is simply too great! Besides, it’s not as if


    your brother is in any kind of mortal danger. Who knows, maybe he’d be over the moon to be in the


    company of such a beautiful and kindlydy!”
