Take It As It Is

"Or else what?" Grey asked while taking some steps forward. 

He was currently standing between the four men and Jonas, if they wanted to get to Jonas, then they had to go through him. 

"I'll help," Jonas moved closer to Grey, standing on his left-hand side. 

"No need for that, just head to the city while I hold them back. I'll be able to casually leave them whenever I want, so you don't need to worry about me," Grey said to him. 

Jonas looked at him, after a few seconds, he nodded his head. He didn't like being indebted to people, but this item was something very important to him, so he couldn't stand to lose it because of his pride. 

Sometimes, it's best to let go of one's pride in some situations.

He retreated to where the young lady was standing, holding her by her hand, and they prepared to walk away. 

"Is it safe to leave him with them?" The young lady asked, concerned about Grey's well-being.
