Chapter 70: Kaloomte’
"So you’re saying you are travellers seeking refuge after your nation’s leaders discriminated against you?"
"Yes."
Xochutl chewed on her lip, mulling over their thoughts, suddenly guilty. Did Kazi lie? Yeah, for sure. But it was for a good reason.
"If I wanted to really harm you or your friend, you know I’m more than capable of doing so. No offence, of course." Kazi avoided the word kill, which reminded him of someone else that could have done it. "Actually, we have a friend, Ms. Sun-young. If your friends encounter her, please don’t fight her. They will most certainly die." He opened up the party info screen and messaged her. Hopefully he wasn’t too late.
[ > Kazi Hossain: if you encounter a witch, don’t fight them. They’re nice people. Natives of the land.
> Yoon Sun-young: Ok.
> Kazi Hossain: Tell them that you’re a friend of Xochutl! She’s the lady with shiny smooth long hair
> Yoon Sun-young: Ok. ]
’Phew, so she didn’t fight them yet.’
Cruelty wasn’t in Sun-young and William’s nature. However, due to the tunnel vision-like circumstances of the Heavenly Games, they sometimes didn’t think critically. It was fight-first, think-later for them.
"How many of you are there?" Kazi asked.
