Chapter 129: Condor
The mysterious man kept walking up the road at a fast pace, with Balthazar and his friends trying to keep up behind.
“Hey, wait, hold on,” said the strained crab, trying not to fall behind. “What do you mean, expecting me? Who are you?”
“My name is Jasper,” the brown-skinned man said with a content smile, “and we have been looking forward to your arrival for a while, Balthazar. She told us you would be coming.”
“She? Who is ‘she’? Are you talking about Ruby?”
Once again, the adventurer smiled. “You must have many questions, as do we. All will be answered soon.”
Unsatisfied, Balthazar frowned, but it was Rye who spoke next.
“You have an unusual accent. You’re not from around these parts, are you?”
Jasper’s smile became a slight smirk.
“Neither are you, my friend.”
