Essence Monster (Part 15)

"Hm? A request for help near us?" Iren frowned, looking at her NEP and listening to her Operator.

"What do we do?" The young man with the axe asked, shaking his hand uncertainly, "I know, it's Adam Vinter, he and I just fought, but... We should help him if something serious has happened."

Iren waved her hand arrogantly.

"I'm not going to help criminals and murderers. He'll only cause more trouble. Those are my orders as a leader!" Iren exclaimed menacingly, making the others realize that this was the final decision.

Some disagreed with her, but if they worked together, they had to follow her instructions. After all, they respected Iren as their leader, for her decisions had saved their lives or led them to success more than once. 

"Agh..." The girl with the staff sighed with a slightly sad face, "I hope he'll be alright. We're injured, and it'll be better if someone else goes to help him, anyway."
