Revealing the psychic's presence would only make them cautious. A mind-based attack implied the attacker was a superhuman with mental abilities, a psychic. These individuals were often physically weaker and adept at avoiding detection. Once they knew Oliver was searching for them, they would most likely flee.
'What did I do to make a psychic, most likely a villain, target me?' Oliver wondered, silently gazing at the aquamarine crystal in Lin Yue's hand.
The dragon core clearly played a crucial role in the entire situation.
So, was it connected to the dragon core?
The psychic had tried to force Oliver to consume the dragon core, and they had done the same with Lin Yue.
Wouldn't that mean stealing it wasn't their goal?
Then what was?
Once consumed, the dragon core would be impossible to retrieve, instantly rendering it worthless.
'They want to destroy the dragon core.' Oliver's thoughts led him to remember its intended use.
