Chapter 144: Hidden Enemies

"Let's go meet that old man. Show me were he is, and I'll determine if he's the one who placed the curse on your siblings." After telling Hilda what he was planning to do next, Ren was about to exit the house but stopped. 

"Why aren't you moving? I told you to show me where that old man is." Ren looked at Hilda with confusion in his face, as the person in question was simply standing in her spot unmoving. Upon closer inspection, Ren noticed that Hilda was trembling. 

"Are you perhaps scared?" Ren couldn't understand why she would be feeling that way, but based on her reaction that was the only thing he could think of, that was happening to Hilda.

"I'm not scared!" Hilda suddenly shouted as she glared at Ren. She then stomped her feet forward. She quickly passed by Ren, her body still slightly trembling. Ren seeing her move on ahead with that angry yet blushing expression of hers made him chuckle a bit before following after her.
