Chapter 41: The Beast That Speaks!

Whenever something is associated with the word "sacred," its rarity and importance skyrocket.

"It seems we'll need to renegotiate how to divide this."

Dean Bruce said, noticing Alita Miller's growing excitement and becoming immediately wary, suspecting she might turn against him.

Why didn't Dean Bruce consider betraying her first?

His knowledge of this world was too limited. He had no idea what the Red Sun Sacred Tree was truly capable of. If he turned on Alita Miller now, not only would he have to fight her, but he'd also have to contend with the organization backing her.

More importantly, even if he managed to obtain the Red Sun Sacred Tree, he'd need to ask others how to use it. If they had ulterior motives, it could lead to endless battles. Continuing to cooperate with Alita Miller seemed more practical; he could simply take his share of the rewards without worrying about how to use the tree.
