i dont understand why tom slash clara slash garasu had to alert iray about the trees

because if he does, then the marquess yan will feel pressured because they are close to finding the item, so he will try to move the item to a different place and that is when Abel and Clara will find the item

thanks. though ive reread the novel to see what will happen. still feel like it was a dumb move because [someone] else discovered it first. anyway idrc anymore because it somewhat benefitted abel's side in the end
