Chapter 1664
Stefan didn't hide anything—he told Quinton about everything that had happened to him and Renee lately.
Quinton staggered back, his eyes wide in shock.
"What...did you say?"
He couldn't believe that his pitiful sister had faced so much in just a few months.
“I'm running out of time.I have to get the four items that Owen wants in a month.I think you should go back and be with Ren since
you're her brother.I won't be worried if it's you taking care of her."
Stefan had been worried about Renee, but he had to find the items for the antidote.
Somehow, fate had made him bump into Quinton, and it might be a sign telling him that someone needed to go back and watch
over Renee.
The only other person who would risk their life for Renee and protect her unconditionally was Quinton.
“No!"
Quinton refused instantly.
“You...don't want to go back?"
Stefan asked slowly, looking perplexed.
Was Quinton not worried about Renee? “Of course, I want to go back, but not now."
Quinton frowned, looking serious.
"I've heard of the items you're looking for.They're rare treasures, and it'll be difficult for you to find them alone.Let's divide the
tasks..."
Stefan looked even more confused.
"You want to divide the tasks?"
Quinton explained patiently, "I've seen the Western Hills Fruit in the depths of the mountains.It's real, and I know how to find it.I
know about the Northern Lake Anaconda too.It's the skin of the anaconda, and I can get it with just a bit of effort.Just leave those
things to me.As for the dragon's saliva...You just focus on getting that."
Stefan looked doubtful as he listened to Quinton’'s plan.
"Are you sure you can do it?"
He didn't think that getting those two items was easy, and was worried that something might go wrong if he let Quinton handle it.
“You should ask yourself the same question."
Quinton shot Stefan a glare.
"I've been managing Carmine Pawnshop for so many years and have seen many rare treasures.
I've even risked my life to get them sometimes, so naturally, getting these things isn't a challenge for me.
You, on the other hand, are a weak young man who nearly drowned finding a pearl.
Are you sure you can do it?"
"Of course!"
Stefan said confidently.
"I can always get what I want."
“Less talk, more action then.
Let's have a competition to see who can get their items first."
“Sure!"
Hence, the former enemies became allies because of Renee, and rushed to their destinations to search for the remaining items.
Quinton hadn't been overestimating himself—thanks to his experience managing Carmine Pawnshop for years, he quickly
gained the Western Hills Fruit and Northern Lake Anaconda.
