Bab 98: To Hunt A Snake Mission

James heard him, but he didn't show it. Alex was such a naïve and idiot youth, with impulsive nature and a good heart. It was easier, much easier, to deal with him, as he couldn't hide anything, even from his enemies.

James moved at the lead, with the three of them marching behind. Islinda, who was trying to fit in her new role, hastened her steps, to catch up with James.

"I feel you are somehow stressed and nervous," she started her new role by saying that. James just turned to glance shortly at her before he joked:

"Make sure Alex doesn't hear you out, or his little mind might think of something that doesn't exist."

Despite not to, she chuckled, as she glanced over her shoulder towards Alex. "He has a simple mind, and you didn't reply to me. don't you trust me?"

"I know you can't betray me, and yes, I have a lot of things going on in my mind right now," James sighed before replying vaguely like this.
