Answer (I)

Cain and Beelze made their way out of the forest without much problem.

Even if Salar and the two old men knew of their presence, they would not risk chasing after them. No matter how high Salar's background might be, it could not be higher than that of the Imperial Military Force, so he had to be careful since he was a wanted man.

The duo went to their military truck and headed back to the Imperial Lightning Fort. Neither Cain nor Beelze uttered a word in the entire journey.

Once they were back in the city, they split apart. Beelze would inform the higher-ups what happened. While they technically fulfilled their mission since they reported Salar's location, it would be a while before they got a reward.

As Cain saw Beelze go away, he could not help but sigh. Although the woman did not say a word, he knew she was angry with him and did not blame her. He was selfish and risked both of their lives.
