Aphestus continued on in a good mood, leading Aina toward Hero Peak.

Aina suddenly looked back, as though she could sense that something was wrong, but she continued to move forward as though nothing had happened.

Aphestus seemed to sense this small action, causing his lip to curl. But, it was then that Aina said something that made his eyes narrow.

"Next time, send stronger lackies." She said, seemingly to no one.

"Hoho, didn't you say your little boyfriend was injured? But now I should be worried?"

In truth, with how arrogant Aphestus was, something like sending lackies to deal with a junior was beneath him. However, what was even more beneath him was personally taking action. So, he chose the path that would best soothe his currently seething rage.

If not for getting caught red-handed, he would have never even bothered to respond to Aina at all especially considering the entire reason this began was due to his authority being questioned.

"He could be ten times more injured and you would have still needed to send someone stronger." Aina replied blandly.

At the moment, Aina was feeling quite guilty. She knew Leonel well. If it wasn't for her telling him to stay put because he was injured, he wouldn't have even cared about his body's state in order to climb the mountain pass. This wasn't because he felt the need to prove something to Valiant Heart, an organization he put not stock in, but rather because that was just the kind of person that he was.

But now, there was already no taking the things that happened back.

Hearing such words, Aphestus suddenly began to laugh uproariously.

"They say love is blind, but this must be a worse case of foolish love. That's fine though, I'd really like to see how long you can continue to love a weakling after I'm done with him.
