When Ryan raised his face, he saw Mia and Daniel running toward him. Daniel reached first and then tried to help Ryan, but he stopped when a Flame Arrow suddenly appeared and hit the ground near his right leg.
"If you touch me, I will make sure to hit your face with that next time," Ryan said while he was cleaning his mouth.
Daniel gulped, he didn't see Ryan in a few days, but he couldn't help but feel shivers while looking at his eyes. He was obviously weakened thanks to the surprise, but he still scared the crap out of him. Even though he was much taller and physically stronger.
Ryan directed his anger toward only Daniel, but even so, Mia decided not to approach him carelessly. She was fully aware that the current Ryan was unstable, so she hid half of her body behind Daniel. He was fully aware that she didn't have the intention to make him even angrier, but just knowing didn't help Ryan calm down in any way. Mia was a bit of an airhead. In the past, Ryan thought that that trait of her was endearing, but now he could only see that as a pain in the ass.
"Is this shorty the guy you mentioned?" The other guy armed with a sword said. "He certainly is skilled and learned a few tricks, but I can't imagine a guy who gets this nervous in front of his friends can help us."
Ryan was about to leave without looking back, but that comment gets on his nerves, and his effort to try to calm down vanished. He was kind of short, indeed. He was just 1,7 meters tall if compared to the 1,95 meters tall Daniel and the other guy who was even taller. He was really short.
"Oh, yeah… I'm short. It must be nice to be so tall," Ryan smirked. "Even if I miss your head, there is plenty of places where my arrows can hit."
"What did you say?" The other warrior asked after a vein begin to bulge in his forehead.
The other warrior was almost two meters tall, and he had a shaved head, but his eyes were green. Added that with his bulging muscles, he really looked like a cool basket player. Daniel and that guy had many similarities, they probably knew each other, but Ryan couldn't care less about that. He was too pissed to think straight… the other three were looking at Ryan as if he was a madman, but he couldn't care less. Still, looked at the other three only made Ryan feel many dark emotions… jealously, anger, sadness. He didn't want to waste time and energy, feeling those things thanks to that kind of people. So, he just got up, turned around, and begun to move away.
"Ryan… I heard about your parents," Daniel said. "I'm sor-."
"Don't finish that sentence," Ryan stopped and then said. "Unless you want them to be your last words."
"… My father got captured by the goblins, Ryan," Daniel hesitated a little bit. "I need to rescue, Ryan. Please, help us."
"He is dead… I saw them dragging his body, and he didn't move an inch," Ryan said after he resumed his walk. "Forget about him."
"That isn't true," Daniel said. "Unlike most monsters, goblins don't eat humans. We confirmed that they keep them alive to train their skills. Although goblins can't talk, they are smart enough to understand that they can train their skills like that. Keeping humans locked is a move convenient for them."
