章 307: Interlude [1]

"See, what did I tell you? With him there, the western side is safe." 

A slight smile appeared on Smallsnake's lips as he looked at Bemus beside him.

Secretly he was sighing in relief.

Although everything went as he had expected, there were some close calls. Ren's way of fighting was a lot more different than he had seen before, but still, he had won, and that was all that really mattered. 

The only one that wasn't happy with the situation was Ryan, who sulkily said. 

"My calculations were wrong, Ren took much longer than usual." 

"...You thought so too?" 

Ryan's words caught Smallsnake's attention who lowered his head and patted him on the head. 

"I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so."

Now used to Smallsnake patting him on the head, Ryan didn't react and continued to sulk.

"My calculations were off by five minutes..." 

"Five minutes?" 

"Yes." 

"Hmm."
