Aphestus continued on in a good mood, leading Aina toward Hero Peak. 

Aina suddenly looked back, as though she could sense that something was wrong, but she continued to move forward as though nothing had happened. 

Aphestus seemed to sense this small action, causing his lip to curl. But, it was then that Aina said something that made his eyes narrow. 

"Next time, send stronger lackies." She said, seemingly to no one. 

"Hoho, didn't you say your little boyfriend was injured? But now I should be worried?"

In truth, with how arrogant Aphestus was, something like sending lackies to deal with a junior was beneath him. However, what was even more beneath him was personally taking action. So, he chose the path that would best soothe his currently seething rage.
