Chapter 228: Saving The Prey

Vasquez felt uncomfortable by the way Princess Amaya was looking at him.  It seemed as if she looked at him like he was a burden.

"Cough.. cough.. cough.." Valdez forced out an awkward cough. 

"My mission is to protect him with my life, Princess.  Protecting you is coincidental." He said while looking at Marx asking his help to speak for him. He has a feeling that this duo did not want him to tag along, but Ra-Iya's mountain ranges especially Mount Paraiso an unchartered territory. It will be dangerous for Marx to go there with just the princess.

In the morning when he was spying around, he heard a rumor from the other hunters that there were a group of expert mountaineers with well-trained security escorts who went to the mountain but none of them came back. Surely, three pairs of hands would be better than two. It was not like he did not have any skills at all.
