Chapter 333

On the next day Jude decided to head towards the cave. He decided to go there without telling anyone. Because he was scared that someone would follow him to the dangerous path. He told them that he's going to collect some fruits and then he went to the mountain.

As dawn broke over the island, Jude's resolve to revisit the cave strengthened. With purposeful steps, he set out towards the cavern, concealing his true intentions from his companions. The weight of secrecy bore down upon him, fueled by a deep-seated fear of endangering others on the perilous journey ahead.

Unbeknownst to Layla, Lucy, and the rest of their group, Jude's departure was shrouded in veiled purpose. He feigned a casual pretext, informing them of his intent to gather fruits, lest his true destination rouse suspicion or prompt unwanted followers.
