"Out of respect for my older brother?"
A flicker of disdain momentarily passed through his eyes, yet Kai Bu put on a helpless, insincere smile,
"Since my cousin has put it that way, I seem to have no choice. However, if these people cause any trouble, I hope my cousin will take the responsibility he ought to bear."
"I trust my companions, only this, I can assure."
Lotcar's words were forceful and clear, and Kai Bu smiled faintly, retracing his steps,
"I was supposed to attend to some matters today, but I'll just have to postpone them.
After all, I'm not sure whether my cousin has truly freed himself from that Strength's enticement.
If I were to let my cousin into the village just like that, and something went wrong, I wouldn't be able to wash my hands of it."
Lotcar's expression remained as calm as still water.
At the beginning of their meeting, Kai Bu thought that Lotcar would lose his composure and attack him.
If that were the case, Kai Bu would have been more than happy.
