Chapter 404 - 403: Protected by Luck
Karen also had her own plans.
She didn't completely trust Cain, but considering his strength wasn't bad at all, refusing him could lead to a fight.
Moreover, there was another crucial point: this Absol, hidden deep in the mountains, probably wouldn't be easy to capture, and she wasn't sure she could do it alone.
If she worked with him, capturing Absol should be much simpler.
"Alright, but let's get one thing clear: I'm leading the capture of Absol. Without my instructions, don't make any moves," Karen said, pretending to be very serious.
Cain raised his hands, indicating he had no issue with that. After all, his presence here was merely to take advantage of the situation—an easy, low-risk task. He had no information to begin with, so he couldn't lead even if he wanted to.
Thus, two people who initially had their differences teamed up and began venturing deeper into the forest.
Who knows if Absol, with its ability to sense disasters, would realize that two people with questionable intentions were slowly approaching?
Cain and Karen didn't walk very close to each other; there was some distance between them due to the mutual distrust from their first encounter.
