The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 1817

"That's right. You guys can leave now if you plan to do so, and we welcome those who want to stay, but if you choose to leave now, don’t blame our Woods family if we don't help you out when you run into the Bloodshed Clan later on," Yolanda chimed in. "Young Master Fane has his own plans for asking us to wait here. If you guys want to leave now, we won’t stop you!"

“That's right!" joined another elder of the Woods family. "Elder Yolanda is correct. If any of you plan to leave now, feel free to do so. Frankly speaking, having too many of us isn't a great thing, and some people might burden us. It'll be much easier for us to act with lesser people!"

Everybody lowered their heads, no one daring to leave after what they had said.

They were no fools. Without the help of Fane and the others, it would be difficult for them to survive, even if they left the area. On top of that, no one knew if members of the Bloodshed Clan dispatched a few disciples to guard the forest's perimeters.

Noticing how no one was insisting anymore, Helena walked forward and smilingly said, "We, the Cabello family are definitely staying. There has to be a reason as to why the people of the Bloodshed Clan suddenly retreated. What if they stationed a few of them guarding the forest’s perimeters while waiting for us to go out? They’re no fools, after all."

At this moment. Fane and the others finally came into view and returned at last.

"Oh, how wonderful! Fane and the others have returned!” Venus was rather elated to see them returning. They had been worried about Fane and his companions, seeing as her father was traveling with him. It was, of course, a treacherous journey as they had to battle with masters of the Bloodshed Clan to buy the others some time.

"This is great! Everybody is safe!" Daniella smiled delightfully as well.
