J. Pearlman didn't answer right away though. After thinking for a while, as though he was holding back, he sent a message to Kieran two to three seconds later.
J. Pearlman: We are being hunted.
2567: Hunted?
2567: Freedom Alliance?"
...
Kieran's attention paused at 'hunted' for a while. In order to make sure, he asked for more confirmation. This time around, J. Pearlman didn't hesitate, nodding right away and explaining in detail through messaging.
J. Pearlman: Around 1 week ago, people started to die in the Freedom Alliance.
J. Pearlman: At first, we weren't really concerned because, although the possibility of a high-rankers dying in a dungeon world is very low, it isn't zero. But soon enough, we noticed something wrong: our friends didn't die in the dungeon world!
