“Mannen?” Bai Saya was even more confused. This is already a matter from many months ago. Why would the Guild only start investigating now?
“Saya, Mannen went insane while dueling you two due to a small gem, right?”
Bai Saya remembered that when he was in Stella City’s Adventurers’ Guild, Dan had asked this same question. However, he had impulsively replied that there was no gem. Upon thinking of this lie that could be seen through the moment it left his mouth, Bai Saya instantly felt so awkward that his face reddened.
“Yes, there was a gem.” Even though it was very embarrassing, he still admitted it. After all, Dan had helped them out multiple times. Truthfully, even now, he was still trying to help them. The lie had also been seen through a long time ago, so stubbornly holding on to it was meaningless.
Dan hesitantly asked, “After the two of you took the gem, has anything unusual happened?”
“Anything unusual? Nope.” Bai Saya scratched his face. They had actually completely forgotten about that thing. He didn’t even know if Shooting Star had kept it. There was a chance that he might have sold it when they were short on money.
“Really? Do you really not suspect that your companion might be hiding something from you? After all, isn’t the gem not with you?” Dan’s tone was rarely as harsh as it was when he brought up the question. He added meaningfully, “That gem can allow a person to gain true power, just like Mannen. It was just that he did not use it correctly. Saya, are you sure that your companion doesn’t hunger for power?”
