Alm and Bruno smiled mentally. Greedy bastards were the same everywhere. They had asked Corin to suppress his regeneration while Ruri acted. Now the whale and Corin were visibly in bad shape.
To them, the round leader seemed gravely injured, and the terrifying human woman was equally incapacitated. The others must be just servants; they didn't see the group fighting. So, in cases like this, the group was just mere ants, following and leeching off the sugar-coated whale.
A dry, authoritative human voice sounded: "Release him immediately."
"Oh? Why would I do that?" The whale responded, looking up.
The man who spoke was a human with a large saber on his back. He snorted and glared at him. "Don't make us use force. We saw your blasphemous acts; we'll capture and hand you over…"
"Ah, I get it, you'll take advantage of our moment of weakness to score points with the glorious Shadow God sect." The whale interrupted, uninterested.
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
