The woman's expression remained as calm and unreadable as ever, yet there was a subtle sharpness in her eyes as she looked toward Max. After a brief silence, she spoke directly.
"I agreed," she said. "I will guide both of you to Dragon Death Valley. But why do you want to head there of all places?"
"Can I say it's a secret of mine?" Max said smiling.
Rose nodded lightly. After knowing Max's conflict with Sword God Palace and his alliance with War God Palace, she began to take Max seriously.
A faint smile appeared on Max's face. "Then we can leave immediately."
Rose gave a slight nod, then turned without wasting another word. "Follow closely. The route is not simple."
With that, she moved forward first.
