"Halt!"
Jaka shouted, his voice reverberating throughout the forest.
Ozul, Raven, and Zier paused in their tracks. The scarred woman also obeyed her master's wishes.
If they ignored him, it wouldn't have ended well for any of them as the old man appeared right in the middle of these four in the next second.
"There is no need to continue."
"Giving up already, old man? Weren't you confident in your strength earlier?" Rai also appeared beside him, as he mocked with a toothy grin. His haggard appearance added a hint of wildness to it.
Raven and Zier glared at him intensely. If this was ending peacefully like this, why did he have to aggravate the old man again?
To their relief, the old man did not seem to mind his taunts and continued, "I will admit our loss. We will follow you."
"But!" The scarred woman objected.
But Jaka shook his head, "Accept defeat. It is one lesson that you sisters never seem to learn."
