Chapter 391: Simon, Enemy? Friend?
Rhodes was a little winded from the fight, so he summoned another Brambleback to handle cleanup.
These three were no ordinary thugs—they were infamous assassins with deep ties to the underworld. Rhodes couldn't afford to take any chances.
Once he confirmed they were down for good, he let out a breath of relief and sent two crabs to patrol the beach perimeter.
The battle had cost him nearly all his summoned wildlings, and it left him with a nagging sense of vulnerability.
He and Mira both had injuries, not too serious, but noticeable enough.
Reflecting on the fight, Rhodes muttered, "Was I too cruel?"
"Cruel?" Mira raised an eyebrow. "No. That's called being smart. They came here with the intent to kill us."
"Right," Rhodes nodded.
By now, the beach was deserted. All the tourists had fled when the battle broke out. Only two were left standing, and three lay unconscious on the sand.
Rhodes glanced around, alert. "Something's off. We should head back to the hotel. With that much commotion, Erza and the others must've noticed."
Mira nodded, already sensing the same thing. "If they haven't come running, they might be in trouble too."
