"I think he wouldn’t want to accompany you either."
With a smile on her lips, Flossie Wright looked at her, her eyes a faint color.
She was always protective.

Towards Mariana Buck, she had no hostility, but if the other party looked down on Perry Reed or targeted him, she wouldn’t stand idly by.
The human heart, after all, tends to be biased.
How Perry Reed treated her, she had a clear understanding, and how she treated Perry Reed was their private matter.
But if someone else had complaints about Perry Reed, she definitely wouldn’t just stand by and watch.
Mariana Buck looked stiff, glanced at her, but didn’t speak again.
However, the aura between the two suddenly turned tense and serious.
Sensing the strangeness of the atmosphere and the smell of gunpowder in the air,
Sandy Cruz raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over them.
Then, he withdrew his look, dealing with it indifferently.
He understood their disputes, but he didn’t want to intervene, let alone take sides.
He lowered his gaze and continued to roast the fish in his hands.
Before long, the idle Mariana Buck came over to help willingly.
Yawning, Flossie Wright, who was blissfully unaware of being a third wheel, lounged comfortably, while casually estimating the next leg of their journey in her head.
Three days left.
At this pace, if they continued like this, they could reach their destination tomorrow.
Perry Reed took a few minutes to catch two fish.
On the way back, he presented one as a reward to God.
The other, after being dealt with, was brought back to the cave in a pitiful state.
Coming from the cave, he naturally knew the way.
God didn’t accompany him inside but circled in the air a few times before finally settling on a branch to enjoy his "reward."
"You’re here?"
Hearing the noise at the entrance, Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow and, turning her head, indeed saw Perry Reed’s figure.
Rarely minding his surroundings, this time he showed up in climbing gear which looked somewhat casual on him, but the cold and dangerous aura of his didn’t fade in the slightest.
Backlit, his silhouette was lightly fringed, making his features appear hazy and unclear.
His straight, long legs stepped in, and the cave that seemed spacious now felt constricted with his presence, as an inexplicable sense of oppression darted through the air.
Alarmingly handsome.
Stopping beside Flossie Wright, he simply acknowledged her with a sound.
His gaze sweeping over, he looked at Sandy Cruz, then lifted his hand and offered the processed fish to Sandy.
Sandy paused slightly.
Looking up, he caught sight of that cold and dangerous expression.
It looked as though it was a matter of course.
He raised an eyebrow.
He accepted it nonetheless.
Flossie Wright raised her finger, pointing to the side.
There was a stone placed there.
It was specially moved in by Flossie Wright.
Perry Reed lowered his eyes, gave her a brief look, and then sat down beside her.
Mariana Buck glanced at him, her eyes carrying a hint of animosity.
She remembered—
Just how dangerous this man who seemed to fall from the sky was when she met him an hour ago.
Gloomy, and evil.
Just one glance was enough to exert strong pressure.
"How long will you stay?"
Adding a stick to the fire, Flossie Wright asked in a leisurely tone.
