บท 493: Something Else (Ch.494)

Jian stepped out of the cave, tilting his head back slightly as he was once again graced with daylight.

It was already quite late in the day and the sun would set anytime soon, but the daylight was a welcome change from the darkness and shadows of the cave.

"How did it go?" Cassian asked warily as he walked over to Jian from where he had been standing by the tree line.

Cassian stared behind Jian into the cave for a moment before his gaze moved back to Jian and though his attention had not lingered on the cave, the act did not escape Jian's notice.

"I did not kill anyone." Jian muttered, 

Jian's brows twitched slightly in annoyance because it had taken everything in him not to do just that.

"So?" Cassian pressed.

"There is nothing to tell." Jian replied blankly.

"You were in there for three hours, Jian. How did you spend so long if there was nothing useful said?" Cassian asked in bafflement.
