When it was close to 23 o 'clock at night, Kaede Sato and the others finally returned to the quiet White River Village.
Inside the White River Village Village Head's house, Katsukaze Sato and the others were treating the Little Elf while reporting their findings to the Village Head and the family members of the White River Village Guards. After hearing that the White River Village Guards were captured by the Lava Squad, the Village Head and the family members of the White River Village Guards paled.
Some of the family members of the escort team recognized the belongings of the escort team members that Kaede Sato and the others brought back. They immediately held onto the belongings and cried out loud. For a moment, the village chief's house was filled with grief.
"That's what happened. Old Village Chief, forgive us for being powerless. This matter is no longer something that a few civilian trainers like us can continue to be involved in. We must immediately report to the Alliance and let them send people down to investigate this matter."
Kaede Sato, as the representative of the rescue team, said to Margaard with a serious expression. Although he couldn't bear to see the despair on the old man's face, he couldn't overestimate himself and do something that he couldn't do.
"No, I thank you on behalf of the family members of the escort team. Otherwise, we would still be in the dark. I'm sure you've encountered a lot of danger during this rescue operation. I will pay you double the reward."
The village chief seemed to have realized that the belongings of the escort team members that Kaede Sato gave him did not belong to his son. The despair on his face faded a little. He took a deep breath and said to Kaede Sato and the others.
The escort team members were the precious defense force of White River Village. Now that they were all captured by the Lava Squad and their fate was unknown, the old village chief's face was still filled with worry.
"Bring them here, Village Chief. These people are all members of the Lava Squad. They should know a lot of things. However, these people are very tight-lipped. Without special methods, we won't be able to get any information out of them. When the people from the Alliance arrive, you can hand them over."
After receiving the village chief's reply, Kaede Sato ordered Hansk and the others to bring in the six members of the Lava Squad that were hiding outside the house.
When the family members of the guards in the house saw the members of the Lava Team, their faces were filled with fear. However, when they recalled that their family members had been abducted by the members of the Lava Team, their faces were filled with hatred. Some of the family members of the victims even rushed forward to punch and kick the members of the Lava Team. They looked as though they wanted to kill the members of the Lava Team.
Fortunately, the surviving family members of the escort team knew that these members of the Lava Squad were the key to finding their loved ones. Although they wanted to teach these people a lesson, for the sake of their loved ones, they stopped the family members of the escort team and stopped them from continuing to beat up the members of the Lava Squad.
It was already late into the night. The village chief quickly contacted the nearest police station in the city of ShuiJing. After receiving news that the Alliance would send someone over the next morning, the family members of the escort team calmed down and returned to their homes to wait for news.
After receiving the payment from the village chief, Hansk and the others also returned to their lodgings in the inn. They were just ordinary civilian trainers. There was no way they would risk their lives to offend the Lava Squad.
After a while, only Kaede Sato, the village chief, and the 'sleeping' Mana were left in the room.
"They've all left. Village chief, do you have something to tell me since you asked me to stay?"
Kaede Sato asked the village chief who had a pleading look on his face after Meihua used Hypnotic Powder to put the six members of the Lava Squad into a deep sleep.
He saw the message that the village chief left behind when he transferred the payment to him. It was obvious that the village chief knew something, or perhaps he knew something that was related to the abduction of the escort team by the Lava Squad.
As for why the village chief looked for Kaede Sato, it was because he knew that the situation was urgent. He couldn't wait for the Alliance to send reinforcements, so he wanted to ask for the help of Kaede Sato, the strongest trainer he could find.
"Please help Whiteriver Village, Mr. Sato. My son and the escort team can't wait for the Alliance to send reinforcements. Only a powerful trainer like you can save them."
After hearing Kaede Sato's question, the village head immediately bowed to Kaede Sato. He knelt on the ground and begged Kaede Sato.
However, at this time, Sato Tengfeng was surprisingly indifferent. He remained silent and stared coldly at the old man in front of him. He didn't agree to the old man's request just because the old man had bowed to him.
"I want to know the truth. If you don't tell me the truth, I won't help you. I'm sorry, but I don't want to be used by others because of my kindness."
Kaede Sato was silent for a long time. When he saw the old man gradually break out in a cold sweat, he replied.
Why did the Lava Squad kidnap the escort team of Whiteriver Village? Kaede Sato had been thinking about this question ever since he found out that the escort team was kidnapped by the Lava Squad. According to his current understanding, Whiteriver Village was just an ordinary village. There was nothing special about it.
However, such an ordinary village was targeted by the Lava Squad. This could only mean that there was something hidden in the village that was worth the Lava Squad's attention.
And now, the person who could answer Kaede Sato's question was right in front of him. The village chief was the village chief of Whiteriver Village and had been in this position for a long time. He was obviously the person who knew the village's secret the best.
"Sigh ~ Alright, Mr. Sato. Have you heard of the Volcano Guardian?"
The village chief knew that the young man in front of him wasn't as gullible as he thought. If he continued to pretend, he would lose his last chance. He had no choice but to speak to Kaede Sato.
"Volcano Guardian? Wait a minute, Polymorph, transform into La Rulas. "
Seeing that the village chief finally spoke, Kaede Sato wasn't in a hurry. He first interrupted the village chief and transformed the Polymorph into La Rulas.
The Polymorph immediately transformed from a Trainer's hat into an adorable La Rulas. Then, he stared at the village chief in front of him and the red antennae on his head began to emit a white glow.
"Old Sir, you have a lot of experience. I'm sure you know La Rulas's ability. It's not that I don't trust you. I'm just a cautious person. I just want to confirm it in detail. I don't want you to forget anything important."
After the Polymorph transformed into La Rulas and began to sense the village chief's mind, Kaede Sato said to the village chief who had an ugly expression on his face.
With La Rulas as a biological lie detector, he wasn't afraid of the old man in front of him playing tricks on him.
"Sigh ~ Young man these days. In fact, you don't have to do this. I will tell you the truth in full detail. If you agree to help me, I will give you a big gift. It's like this …"
