The helicopter owned by the Wang family arrived and landed on the clearing on the side of the poacher's base.
One person stepped out and demanded to see the token. Only when Sarah showed it, two people came out with a stretcher and strapped Master Hollow on it with utmost care.
"Take care.", Sarah told Aiden while gripping his hand.
"You too.", Aiden responded while struggling not to cling onto her and scream that she should not go.
Sarah wanted to plunge into his embrace, but she knew that the more they delay, the harder is to leave. She took a deep breath and let go of his hand.
Aiden watched the helicopter ascend and he didn't move until it was out of sight and the noise of the rotor was not heard anymore.
He balled his hands into fists and the last spec of warmth from his expression was gone.
"Continue releasing the animals.", Aiden spoke in icy tone. "The faster we finish, the sooner we leave."
