With a sudden wave of his hand, he halted the pursuit, realizing at this moment... the Branch Leader had come to understand, just like the five brothers had said: if it were not for them showing themselves voluntarily, there would have been no way to catch the foe.
Before this, the Branch Leader had not taken these five pieces of trash seriously. They were no match for direct combat and thus were not even worth recruiting, being so easy to banish. It saved time and effort, simple and relaxed.
Only now, for the first time, did the Branch Leader feel regret. If only he had known how troublesome these five were, he wouldn't have banished them but rather should have recruited them. Now, look at the mess!
