Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu had spoken, yet no one seemed to be replying to him. He stood still in awkward silence for about ten seconds before someone responded. It was Hong Luo who seemed to be feeling strange and nervous too.

"Greetings, brother Lin Mu. You are right on time." Hong Luo greeted.

The other mercenaries except for Leader Teng and the whip wielding woman stood up after seeing Hong Luo initiate the greetings. They could not tell what had happened, but their current situation felt more stressful to them than when they actually fought deadly spirit beasts.

Leader Teng forcefully tried to regain his composure as he stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings brother Lin Mu, my name is Teng Xiaolian, and this is my team." Leader Teng spoke.

Everyone then started to introduce themselves to Lin Mu. One could tell that they were rather nervous and seemed to be paying extra attention to etiquette.

"Greetings, I am Xiong An." Greeted the Brawny mercenary.

"Greetings, I am Long Da." Greeted the mercenary with an axe on his back.

"I'm Yi Duyi." Said the short mercenary.

"And I am Hao Xiao." Said the whip wielding woman.

Having heard everyone's names, Lin Mu felt a little satisfied. At least for him, the awkward silence was a little painful. Having finished with the greetings, Hong Luo invited Lin Mu to sit along with them. He offered him his chair and asked a mercenary that was passing by to bring him another.

Respectfully taking the offer, Lin Mu sat down and looked at the mercenaries, waiting for them to start. He had been observing their conversation, thus he wanted to know how they will be proceeding. This was a little off course for him, as originally he had expected that he would need to guard the camp by himself and the Hei Corps.

While he would be guarding in person, the members of the Hei corps would be patrolling in silence by hiding in the distance. Lin Mu knew that they had more experience in matters such as these, thus did not worry about them not appearing. He had already been informed beforehand that they will send him a signal when they appear.

Having received his chair, Hong Luo sat down to discuss the plan.

"So brother Lin Mu, we were just about to start with the plan. Luckily for us, Leader Teng and his team returned early from their hunt, so we hopefully won't have to worry as much." Hong Luo spoke.

The other mercenaries simply nodded in agreement, showing that they had already discussed them.

Lin Mu was wondering, though, what did they know about the incident in the town. He wanted to know if they had any opinion on it and if they knew that it involved him. So that later he knew how to make decisions in the future with them. While walking in the town he had heard people talking about all the other related people, but somehow there was no mention of him.

'Did Hei Wan hide my involvement somehow?' Lin Mu wondered.
