Chapter 998: Hidden Danger

The flickering campfire was the most comforting presence in the night.

Facing the swaying flames, it always seemed to bring clarity to situations, making them simple and soothing for people to behold.

The Alchemist had thought about this very clearly in his heart.

Perhaps, things had indeed turned out as he had seen them, seemingly well arranged and under control.

Was there no longer a need to ponder further or acknowledge the situation?

Had people become so content that they no longer harbored any serious doubts?

If people had a choice.

He really wished that he could be in such situations so he wouldn't have to risk more for the doubts people might accept.

He would have to pay a certain price for this.

Not all things could lead the Alchemist to a smooth conclusion that confirmed his desires.

Things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, and such issues ultimately required an answer that people should recognize.
