Panting, Lance went back to the place where they were supposed to meet. It was at a large tree just at the frontier of the forest.
After Sayu's attack on the citizen's secret base, Lance hid in the shadows and went outside of the city without being seen. He didn't know how Sayu could've figured out where he was when he hid his aura completely. Even in the hands of very strong Adventurers, Lance would look invisible.
After a couple of minutes more of runnint, he reached the spot and looked around to make sure he was being followed.
"Hello?" Lance called out. "I'm back."
He waited for a few minutes but no one had responded. Anyone that would look at Lance would wonder why he wasn't panicking. That was because he told his friends to wait for a couple of minutes before they come out in case someone was following him.
