Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2054

By Severin's initial estimate, he expected to encounter Celeste and Raymond at the center of the ruins. However, fate brought Raymond to him sooner than expected. With Raymond around, Severin was much more confident of securing the treasure on that mountain.

As anticipated, Raymond's arrival sparked countless discussions among the assembled practitioners.

"That's Raymond! The Grandiuno Sect's fourth true disciple!"

"Another prodigy graces us with his presence!"

"Looks like the treasures are going to slip out of our grasp!"

As Tobias witnessed Raymond's arrival, his already unpleasant expression soured even more. His guard was up as he glared at a formidable foe.

After observing Raymond's jovial exchange with Severin, Tobias cursed to himself, 'Damn it! Why is Raymond here too?'

Tobias might have been slightly confident in vying for the treasures if he only had to contend with Severin. Though he was afraid of Severin, he believed he might be able to hold his own against Severin and secure at least one or two of the eight treasures on the mountain. He was already wary enough of Severin and felt pressured by Severin's presence.

Having a level nine supreme saint like Raymond around was the final nail in the coffin that ended Tobias's resolve. He was already considering retreating and abandoning the fight for the treasures. After all, Raymond's interests were the same as Severin's because they were both from the same sect. Challenging one of them was the same as challenging two at once. It was no doubt an unattractive prospect.

The memory of Severin injuring Sian haunted Tobias. He glanced fiercely at Severin and reluctantly gathered his sect's members before leaving in search of other treasures.
