30 A Ray Of Hope (2/2)

David nodded enthusiastically and followed right behind him.

After 20 minutes of walking while at the same time making small talk, they finally reached their destination. It was a big cave that opened from the side of a small hill.

When they both entered, the entrance to the cave suddenly closed.

David was startled at the sudden darkness and closure of the cave.

”Don't worry, I just used my earth ability to close the entrance of the cave for more privacy,”

Nathan quickly said to comfort David while glowing a few light crystals for more visibility.

David instantly calmed down and resumed following Nathan deeper into the cave.

After a few more minutes of walking, they saw a hooded figure standing in the distance.

David took a step back and became on high alert as soon as he saw the man.

”Don't be scared, that's the new member I was talking about,” He said with a smile, taking away all of David's worries.

When they finally reached the hooded man, Nathan told David to go introduce himself.

”Hey, go introduce yourself to your junior. Don't worry, he doesn't bite, I promise. Give him a proper welcome as a senior and be confident in yourself.” Nathan said with a smile.

David nodded and approached the hooded figure. The man was much taller than him who was only 5'8 while he stood at 6'0 tall. From his angle, he still could not see his face at all.

”Hello there junior. I am David Green, your senior. You should be honoured to join our great gang under the power of our glorious Boss, Nathan. As your senior, make sure to pay me your proper respect. ok newbie?” David said in an overbearing tone. He felt like he suddenly got his lost confidence back.

However, his confidence did not last for long

The man under the hood started laughing hysterically like he just heard the funniest thing in the world.

As soon as the man took off his hood, David was struck with his previous fear and despair. His legs started shaking like a vibrator and he fell on the ground cowering in fear.

”Do you remember me?!” The hooded man said while laughing even harder.
