40 Ch. 40: Continued [1]

—Rustle!

Adrian shoved the bushes away and upon arriving at the end of the earth sliding, several people were seen scattered everywhere. It looked like Ralph got the prisoners out of the cage.

Studying the surroundings, he found Sylvina and Rhea amidst the crowd, they were treating the wounded prisoners. It seemed Ralph called them here.

Not too far away from them, he saw Ralph talking with two men and a woman—the main target of the mission. They were bowing continuously, expressing their gratitude and Ralph's bewildered face was palpable.

"So… it's a happy ending, huh?" Péréz who stood beside him chimed in.

However, Adrian shook his head, "Not yet."

The wheat-haired boy's forehead creased and glanced at him with a confused look, "Huh? Why?"

"We still need to escort them to the nearby town."

It was not like they could leave the prisoners here and go on their way.
