Meeting The Former Friend

Veer was truly surprised to see the big man here. He smiled and was going to call him but then stopped. Rock was already carrying that boulder, so it was best not to disturb him...

"Hey, Mountain Man, we have brought some of your kins along."

Brando shouted, as he took a step back. It was clear even he didn't want to get close to Rock.

Hearing his shout, Rock turned around and his flat expression vanished, turning into that of pure joy. It was the first time Veer had seen that look, so he was quite surprised.

With a heavy thump that shook the earth, Rock dropped the boulder and took Veer in his arms. His laugh echoed in the tunnel, confusing other Aethrym workers as he said, "Haha, welcome back Boss. I didn't think we will meet so soon."

"Thanks, but can you please release me?" Veer muttered, trying his best to get out of his hold, but it seemed impossible. Rock was just too strong physically.
