Muir frowned, shooting him a burning gaze.
Seeing that the two beastmen were going to get into a fight again, Winston spoke up.
"Curtis is right. Muir should stay behind. If we aren't able to hold the behemoths back, you will leave with Qingqing and the children. You aren't the only one.

Even though he had only said a few words, his words were strangely persuasive. Moreover, each of his words was straight to the point.
Muir paused, calmed down, then replied, "Alright!"
He had been too driven by the thought of earning merit and only wanted to prove himself to Qingqing. He hadn't looked at things from the greater perspective.
