章 237: A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

Cadell led the way up the mountain while riding on an Angorian War Ibex. He turned his head to look at the stragglers who were walking behind their group and sneered in his heart. 

He thought that William and the others would beg him to give them some mounts to help climb the mountain, but they didn't do it. Instead, they just walked as if they were tourists doing some sight-seeing. 

"We are increasing the pace," Cadell announced. He then urged his partner to run and the rest of his retainers followed behind him.

Jerkins turned to look at William, and the latter only nodded his head. They had already talked about this. If Cadell decided to leave them behind, Jerkins was to follow him closely.

William assured the Ambassador that they would be fine. He insisted that Jerkins should just focus on keeping up with Cadell's group, instead of worrying about them.
