When the old man's aura came in contact with Sylvester's, they canceled each other out.
Colin's men took the chance to regroup, and Sylvester frowned. He looked toward Kristoff and the old man.
Kristoff stepped up and told Colin and Sean, “Can you end this battle here? We're here to search for treasures, and if possible, we might get to meet a dragon as well. We don't have to fight right after we land on this island.”
Colin took the chance to make his 'graceful' retreat. “Since you're the one asking, I shall let this matter slide. I'll kill them off otherwise.”
Jared looked at Colin, and he almost laughed out loud. Man, this guy is funny.
Sylvester wanted to smack Colin for saying that, but since Kristoff was taking Colin's side, he couldn't force the battle to continue. After all, he wasn’t powerful enough to fight two families at once. “Very well then. If that is what you wish, Mr. Shalvis.” With that, Sylvester left.
“Sylvester!” Sean called out to him, wondering why his brother wasn't picking a bone with Jared.
“We’re leaving!” Sylvester glared at him.
Left with no choice, Sean could only leave, though someone had to come to his aid. Before he left, he shot Jared a nasty glare. “You can't hide behind your women forever, Jared. Remember that.”
After the Coopers had taken their leave, Colin spat at them. “You think you're all that, huh, a*sholes? You only got away because I snuck out and managed to bring only a limited number of fighters.”
Hearing that, Kenneth and Kristoff finally understood why Colin's parents let him come to the island with only a few Senior Grandmasters as his bodyguard. So this guy snuck out. The Shadow Estate must be in chaos right now.
