Owen Bertram sighed: "I can't be sure right now." After thinking for a while, he told Berry about his guess on the cause and effect brought by Burning Hillock: "When your immortal master descended, I could have risked everything to take you away. But it was precisely because I thought of this… that perhaps this was Burning Hillock's arrangement for you? I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you, so I dared not to interfere rashly."
Berry had already eaten one bun and was about to start on the second one: "Don't you dare intervene. You've already gone into 'Grand Hidden', right? With my lousy life, exchanging yours for mine would be a huge loss for us!"
"I'm not joking with you. If you really do that, I'll curse you to death. And there's Tabitha. What would I say to the girl if something happened to you? What would I say to Uncle and the others?"
