Within Duke Arsena's palace, after completing the quest to buy John some time, Adam and Blue Sea chose to leave swiftly.
They were well aware that staying any longer posed significant risks.
Duke Arsena, upon seeing John, would be able to clarify everything.
Although Duke Arsena might not be overly harsh on John, he would undoubtedly mete out some form of punishment to Adam and Blue Sea immediately.
"Since Your Grace has agreed, we will take action as quickly as possible," Adam said to Duke Arsena in a calm tone.
Adam was very aware that he couldn't let Duke Arsena sense his slight nervousness.
With a nod from Duke Arsena, Adam and Blue Sea quickly made their exit.
Upon reaching the entrance of Duke Arsena's palace, they unexpectedly ran into John and the legendary warrior Aike.
