Chapter 96: Rankbreaker
Everyone returned. Qwanisha was the only one who suffered the most, evident by her worn-out clothes. However, with Faith’s healing abilities, not even bruises remained. Qwanisha glanced at Kaiju and then swept her gaze at Griffin, snorting.
"What a showoff."
However, surprisingly, Griffin ignored her, as though he was lost in his own worlds, surprising her. Qwanisha shook her head and ignored Griffin, taking the chance to evaluate her current appearance. Her light armor’s durability dropped, so she had to change it with the spare one–thankfully, she was prepared.
She changed to a fiery light armor, altering her entire aura earlier after wearing light green armor. Behind her was Max and Faith, the latter drinking a mana potion. Her expression remained solemn, though seemingly not exhausted at all.
They then noticed the strange atmosphere and stared at Griffin with a bewildered expression. Max asked, "What’s wrong, Griffin?"
Griffin was surprisingly taken aback, distracted by his own thoughts. He lingered his gaze for a while, taking some time to compose himself, and replied in his usual indifferent tone, "Nothing."
Max furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head, "Did you get injured? Or one of the werewolves managed to get away?"
"Hah! It must be, dear!" Qwanisha snorted.
Griffin shook his head and did not say anything anymore, closing his eyes to meditate.
Max and Qwanisha glanced at each other, feeling something had changed with Griffin. By communicating through their eyes, they knew they must not force Griffin to say something he doesn’t want to.
They then focused on Kaiju in silence, but often caught his eyes glancing at his pet, seemingly communicating with her. They did not want to disturb her, so they waited.
