Chapter 932 - Leaving the mountain (1) (2/2)

When Aiden, Sarah and Jesse saw Haru approach them, surprise and confusion were written over all of their faces.

Sarah noticed Haru's backpack. ”You are going down as well?”

”I was hoping to join you.”, Haru awkwardly responded while eyeing Aiden's reaction. ”You need capable fighters, and I am willing to stay by your side. Like him.” Haru gestured toward Jesse.

Aiden raised an eyebrow suspiciously. He is confident that Haru dislikes him.

Aiden and Sarah exchanged glances and after a second, Aiden made a face indicating to Sarah that he does not have an opinion. It's up to her. As much as Haru's personality is not the best, he is a good fighter. But Sarah is known to have some mystical powers which make people behave… and like her.

Jesse was focused on his shoes. He didn't want to be part of this. Out of four disciples, Haru is the one with the worst personality. Very impulsive and complaining most of the time.

”How old are you?”, Sarah asked Haru.

Haru shrugged. ”I never found out the details related to my birth. Master told me that he found me in May 2004, and I was around five years old. That makes me twenty years old now.”

Sarah thought how this is very sad but she wanted to make sure he is aware of what he is getting himself into by coming with them: ”Are you sure you want to join us? We live in United States. That is far away from here. You will not be able to come here and visit Master often. Also, by coming with us, we will expect you to study a lot, follow our rules, and there will be no lack of dangerous situations.”

”I'm ready to study and face dangers. And no matter what rules you have, it can't be harsher than what Master Hollow made me go through.”

Sarah stifled a laugh. ”That is correct. We don't have that many rules. But those few that we have, you must follow. If you don't we will bring you back here. Understood?”

Haru nodded vigorously.

Sarah sighed and looked at Aiden.

Aiden frowned. ”Why are you looking at me? You already negotiated with him. What happens if I say that I don't agree?”

”You would not do that, Boss!”, Haru cheekily said.

Aiden turned to Haru. ”Why did you call me Boss?”

”That is how he calls you.”, Haru pointed at Jesse.

Aiden squinted. They talked on the way up and Aiden told Jesse not to call him Boss because it might be inconvenient. He was going to see how Sarah is doing, and if Master Hollow suspects that Aiden has any high standing he might be warry of him. And Aiden is confident that Jesse didn't slip. At least not in front of him.

Aiden turned to Jesse. ”How does Haru know that you are calling me Boss?”

Jesse frowned while thinking. ”The only time I mentioned was when I spoke with Master Hollow in private, in his cabin. Yesterday during breakfast. Haru was not there… at least not inside the cabin.”

Aiden nodded in understanding. ”And what did you tell to Master Hollow while Haru was eavesdropping?”

Jesse glared at Haru and then told Sarah and Aiden what he talked about.

”I know that your intentions were good. But in the future, don't talk about our private dealings to outsiders.”, Sarah warned Jesse who nodded guiltily.

Aiden looked at Haru. ”Well, at least you know one side of what we have going on. If you break our rules it will not be as simple as doing squats to redeem yourself. Others might be hurt. You need to listen and be part of the team. Do you understand?”

”Yes, Boss!”, Haru exclaimed.

Aiden exhaled. ”Jesse, you will be in charge of making sure he knows the rules of the house. He will stay with us in the Cliffside villa.”

Jesse felt like crying. Why does he need to babysit Haru? This must be a punishment because he talked with Master Hollow about Sarah and Aiden without their permission. He would rather do squats.
