Breathing heavily, I leaned against the door, listening intently for any sounds of pursuit.
I also retrieved my platinum rank potion from my inventory or seemingly out of nowhere, and immediately drank it all in one go.
Gradually, the chaos outside quieted, replaced by an eerie stillness.
I had escaped, at least for the moment, and was now waiting for my finger to heal back to its normal state.
I sighed...
"Damn, that was the most riskiest backup plan I could ever come up with. I swear, I'll never make a plan like that again."
I had two plans in mind.
The first plan was to intentionally tell them to stop trying to save Aeron, which would lead them into a trap.
My real intention was to save myself rather than Aeron.
I decided not to go along with them and let these guys die at the hands of that person.
If they all died, there would be no one left to complain to Marcus.
