Freeloading?

"Sigh! I hope he can return safely."

An Kai sat on the chair and spoke slowly as if he was worried about the safety of Hanks and the others.

In response to his actions, Mason's mouth twitched slightly. He did not make a sound, which was his response.

As an accomplice in tricking Hanks into going to the Seven Kingdoms to resume trade, Mason's understanding of An Kai changed again.

When he had a conflict with An Kai in the desert, Mason thought that he was a real desert barbarian.

After that, he was subdued by An Kai. When he saw An Kai teach Wayne magic knowledge, he thought An Kai was a knowledgeable old scholar and was forced to live in the desert.

After that, on the way to Chaos City, An Kai suggested that Wayne cancel the bounty on Hanks in the Kingdom of Shaq.

After listening to An Kai's explanation of his relationship with Hanks, Mason thought that An Kai was a loyal person.
