Arnold was stunned but before he could say anything, Nicholas had already turned around and left without hesitation.
He looked at his brother's back and then moved his gaze in the direction where Samuel had just passed by.
Nicholas knew that he and Samuel were friends.
This was because Arnold kept the picture when he was young and played together with Samuel, Stephen, and Ruben.
Four troublemaker teenagers who loved to make trouble.
He forgot who took the pictures, but he kept their pictures together when he went to the border, so Nicholas had already seen Samuel's face before. But Arnold didn't explain much about their identities at that time because it was not convenient for him to reveal everything to his brother.
Arnold was absolutely sure that Nicholas didn't know more about Samuel.
'Why did he warn me about Sam?'
He knew Samuel much more than Nicholas.
The fact that Samuel is a dangerous person is also something that Arnold knew very well because Samuel is a returnee. Having experienced a few years in a completely different world and built his own power, it was impossible for Samuel to remain ordinary.
This was something that Arnold knew very clearly.
At the same time, he knew that Samuel will not hurt him.
"Arnold?" Amelia called could from the side, her tone was doubtful when she looked at Arnold beside her.
"It's nothing." Arnold shook his head.
"Your brotherโฆ"
"He might have some misunderstanding." Arnold rubbed Amelia's head and then pointed to Mr. Jones' office. "Let's go back to report."
"Oh."
The so called report was nothing more than stating how many magic beasts they have killed and Amelia's training progress. This was something that Mr. Jones requested because he wanted to know his daughter's growth.
Besides, they also had to pay some 'taxes' to City A Base after completing each mission.
"Let's go."
While Arnold and Amelia headed back to Mr. Jones' office, Nicholas was thinking about the man and woman whom he accidentally seen not long ago. His original plan was to stay in City A Base for a while and collected enough resources before going out and busy fighting against countless magic beasts again.
After all, he didn't have any interest to pay a visit to other city bases.
There were too many annoying people.
Nicholas didn't understand how these people manage to survive for such a long time, but he knew that he couldn't really do anything to them because of various reasons.
In any case, he will try to avoid them as much as possible.
But when he passed by the two people, even though it was only from a distance, Nicholas could sense his body has a stress reaction. It was indication to himself that the two people were very dangerous.
So dangerous that he might not be able to survive if he came any closer to them.
Not even his brother could give him such a big reaction even though Nicholas could see that Arnold's strength had improved rapidly in the past few years. Or perhaps this was the improvement after the earthquake happened.
Nicholas didn't know for sure.
But he didn't like staying close to someone so dangerous.
Moreover, this was someone whom his brother knew because he had seen his brother's picture with them.
