Chapter 164 - The Hunter and the Prey (Part 1)

"What do you-" Cole wanted to retort but was cut short as he felt Aiden's hand on his shoulders pulling him back.

Looking back, he saw him smiling and shaking his head. There was a strange glint in his eyes, that radiated confidence. Although he wanted to fight for their rights, seeing his friend's confident expression, he decided to trust him, and stepped back, letting Aiden take the lead. Cole could hope that the boy knew what he was doing, this group didn't seem like good people, they all had that aura of cruelty surrounding them.

Why would you care for such easy quests, there are other, much more rewarding ones out on the board." Aiden calmly inquired. There was no hint of fear in his expression, irking the leader more by the minute.
