Encountering an Old Friend in a Foreign Land

The demon Ghoul precisely controlled its power, ensuring it didn't harm the Twisted Treant inside.

Seeing its disguise exposed, the Twisted Treant panicked and tried to escape.

However, Hardy swiftly dashed forward and delivered a fierce [Punch], knocking it to the ground, nearly rendering it unconscious.

Hardy then bent down, grabbed it by the neck, and dragged the Twisted Treant over to John.

John instructed, "Alright, Hardy, you can rejoin the team now. Make sure our return times are staggered. Don't mention anything about me unless Eartha asks."

"I understand, Master. I told Eartha I was going to the bathroom." Hardy explained.

John nodded, signaling him to leave quickly.

Once Hardy had left, John wasted no time. The night needed to end soon. He placed his hand over the Twisted Treant's mouth and released a drop of [Primordial Toxin].
