"What happened?" Serena asked.
At this point, most of the soldiers had gathered around Hugh and looked at him with anxious eyes. They wanted to know what happened to Beru.
"It's okay," Hugh said. Immediately, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, including Serena. "He's on his way back now."
However, Serena noticed that Hugh's face still had a severe look. She guessed that something terrible had happened.
"Did we not get the assignment to search for Mia?" Serena asked.
The soldiers looked at Hugh with anxious eyes again. They also wanted to save Mia, but if they cannot go on the searching expedition, they would have no choice but to stay still.
"We got it," Hugh said.
Immediately, the soldiers started to congratulate Hugh and celebrate with each other. Now, they could move as a group and search for Mia without being suspicious.
