Chapter 68 - 64: Oath
Baharo’s sudden appearance filled this unique group of prisoners with vigor, although Hustace still couldn’t manage to pull himself together.
Hustace wasn’t as simple-minded as Igor, who was willing to believe what was right before his eyes. He also wasn’t like the beast Kadi, who could focus on one thing, nor was he like the big man Baharo, who could laugh off everything.
It seemed that nobody in the team was like him. In the end, he was still alone. This loneliness silenced Young Master Hustace, who slowly followed behind the big man, Baharo.
His steps were heavy. His physique wasn’t strong to begin with, and he had shivered from the cold all night. At this point, just keeping up with the group was already a great accomplishment for Young Master Hustace.
Baharo followed behind Stan Sol. Although his upper body was bound, as a High Rank Hunter, his keen sense of smell alerted him to something unusual. He sensed Hustace, who was behind him, starting to sway. So, he twisted his upper body and said, "Hey! I say you’d better rest. The one behind is looking tired. At this rate, I don’t think he’ll make it to the foot of the mountain."
Baharo’s struggle tightened the Binding Beast Rope around him, and Sol, who was in front, halted his steps.
"’Time, waits, for no one. Perhaps, we need to, find another, way,’ Stan Sol muttered to himself, gazing at Hustace’s haggard face.
"What’s wrong with Hustace?" Igor approached and asked.
"Weak. Low stamina. Difficult."
"So, shall we rest here for a while?" Baharo proposed.
"Rest, won’t, solve, the fundamental, problem."
"It’s getting dark soon. We should find a place to stay for the night. After such a trying day, I’m about to fall apart too," Igor said.
