Chapter 176 - Shinobi? (4) (2/2)
”Now...about Saito-”
”We will wait for Rei to arrive.” John said before the Hylotl could finish talking, ”I still don't trust you, once Rei arrive and Saito recognize him, then we can talk.”
The Hylotl sighed before giving in and let John and company to go, ”Stay at the Ark Outpost, we'll contact you once he arrives, it won't take long, only a few minutes.”
Once they were rather far from the Hylotl, John touched his neck.
”That was a close one.” Lenny commented once he saw John feeling the wound in his own neck, ”If Peri have reacted a split second late...”
”Dead.” John finished Lenny's sentence, ”I'm still weak, after all.”
”Is not that you are weak.” Peri said, ”It's just they were way too stealthy. Those men are expert assassins, in a normal fight you would win, but when you are targeted by them from the dark...even I would have trouble.”
”Let's not talk about this.” John said as he threw a glance at Saito that was still glued at Forge's leg, ”Just keep your guards up, we don't know if they are going to try something like that again.”
...
Back at the Ark Outpost, John looked up at the enormous building made of Durasteel.
As everyone in the group have already been here once, they weren't shocked by the sight.
Without delay, the group entered in the Ark Outpost.
Lenny stopped and said towards John, ”You go do whatever you need, I have to buy a new spaceship.”
”You won't come with us?” John frowned as he asked, ”It was you who saved Saito, you should come meet with Rei.”
”I just did what I had to do. Besides I'm too lazy to deal with this kind of stuff, I rather go to a bar and get drunk.” Lenny shrugged his shoulders and walked away while simply waving his hand without turning around, ”I don't need rewards. If it has one, take it for me, alright?”
John deeply stared at Lenny's back. He stood rooted for a moment before saying to Peri, Forge and Saito, ”Let's go. I want to see if Esther is still around here, she's simply not taking my calls.”
