Carlos looked at the instant noodles in Connor’s hand with a helpless expression.
With Carlos’s personality, he definitely could not accept Westley’s humiliation.
However, since Connor insisted on eating it, Carlos could not say anything.
Ruby, Westley, and the others thought that Connor would choose not to eat the noodles. This way, not only would it consume their stamina, but it would also humiliate them.
But no one would have imagined that Connor actually didn’t care one bit.
When Westley saw Connor take the instant noodles with him, a strange look flashed across his eyes. Then, he said in a low voice, “I shouldn’t have offered them instant noodles. Why are they so happy about eating instant noodles…”
“Forget it. It’s just a few boxes of instant noodles. We don’t know when we will be able to reach the Precipice Cave. I want to see how many long they can eat instant noodles for…”
Ruby replied calmly.
Westley turned to look at Connor. A trace of disdain flashed across his eyes, but he did not say anything.
Connor and the others boiled some water and started eating instant noodles.
Ted saw Connor and the other two sitting there eating instant noodles with relish. He couldn’t help but sigh. He picked up the roasted meat in front of him and walked toward Connor.
Ruby was confused when she saw this. She quickly asked Ted in a low voice, “Uncle Carlson, what are you doing?”
“Miss, we don’t have any deep hatred with Mr. McDonald. There’s no need for you to do this…”
Ted said lightly.
“Uncle Carlson, don’t forget that these people are also here for the spiritual herbs in the Precipice Cave…”
Ruby hurriedly continued.
“Of course, I know that. There’s not only one kind of spiritual herb in the Precipice Cave, and we don’t know whether the spiritual herb that Mr. McDonald and the others are looking for is the same kind as the one we’re looking for. Even if it’s the same kind, it’s not too late to fight each other when we find it. What you’re doing now is completely meaningless. Moreover, the Precipice Cave is very dangerous. I’m sure that Mr. McDonald and the others will be able to help when the time comes…”
Ted said helplessly.
“What can those three good-for-nothings do?”
Ruby replied disdainfully, but she didn’t stop Ted.
Ted walked up to Connor and said with a smile, “Mr. McDonald, our Young Miss has always been like this. I hope you won’t lower yourself to the same level as her…”
“I won’t lower myself to the same level as a woman. Moreover, you’ve given us instant noodles. That’s more than enough…”
Connor replied lightly.
“Mr. McDonald, you really have a good attitude!”
Ted smiled faintly and placed a piece of roasted meat in front of Connor.
“You can take this piece of roasted meat back. I don’t need it…”
Connor looked at Ted and said expressionlessly.
“Mr. McDonald…”
Ted opened his mouth to speak.
“I already told you just now that you’ve provided us with instant noodles, and that’s good enough for us. We don’t need anything else.”
Connor said in a very serious tone.
Ted looked at Connor and sighed softly. He didn’t know what to do. He picked up the roasted meat and turned around to leave.
“I didn’t expect Ted Carlson to be so sensible…”
Diana sighed as she looked at Ted’s back.
“He merely thinks that there is value in having us on the same side…”
Connor said lightly.
“Value?”
Diana couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard this, and she was a little confused.
“That’s right. The Precipice Cave is full of danger. If the three of us can maintain our strength, we can help out when the time comes. However, if the three of us can’t even eat our fill, or if we are unwilling to help out, then it’s not a good thing for these people. Ted is obviously smarter than Ruby and Westley…”
Connor whispered to Diana.
“I see. It seems that these people are really sinister. If the three of us had no value, we would have been abandoned long ago!”
Diana couldn’t help but sigh.
“Hurry up and eat. After you’re done eating, go get a good rest. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow…”
Connor replied expressionlessly, then picked up the instant noodles and ate them in big mouthfuls.
Carlos and Diana looked at Connor in surprise.
This was because the two of them realized that Connor was different from many rich guys. If it were other rich guys facing this situation, they would not be so calm and would definitely not eat instant noodles.
However, Connor was able to endure it. Perhaps this was the difference between him and Ruby and Westley.
After dinner, the three of them returned to their tents to rest.
Westley’s bodyguards were patrolling around the tent, so Connor and the others didn’t have to worry about their safety at night.
The next day, at seven o’clock in the morning.
After everyone had woken up, they washed up briefly and continued on their way.
Along the way, Ruby and Westley looked like they were on a vacation. Every hour they walked, they would have to rest for half an hour.
They took three days to complete a journey that would normally take two days.
Connor was not in a hurry, so he did not say anything.
In these three days, Ruby and Westley’s attitude toward Connor didn’t change, but they didn’t provoke him either.
Three days later.
Timothy Jackman stopped in front of a cave and said to Ruby, “Miss Yandell, the Precipice Cave is inside. This is where we part ways. You will have to rely on yourself for the rest of the journey…”
“Alright, I understand…”
Ruby replied casually and continued, “I’ve already gotten someone to transfer your fees to you…”
“Miss Yandell, the Precipice Cave is really dangerous. You should reconsider before entering. Many people have died in this cave…”
Timothy whispered to Ruby.
“We have many bodyguards with us. So what if there’s danger?”
Before Ruby could speak, Westley shouted.
Timothy looked at Westley helplessly and said, “Miss Yandell, Mr. Holland, since you insist on going in, so be it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now!”
