"Hey! Did you say Eli is here?" I yelled again, this time with a pounding heart.
"Yes." He answered concisely as he kept running and leaping between trees, to which I followed.
"Who? Oh, that boy back in my lair? Is he good news or bad news in this case?" This time, Luke was the one who proposed the question.
I immediately looked at general Zhang, waiting for his answer as I nervously gulped. Right, this time, he was the one who knew the current Eli the best, not me anymore. They were sort of, like, contractual something? Partners in crime, maybe.
So, was it good or bad…?
"I don't know." General Zhang answered the question while he jumped past a tall bush.
"What!? You don't know?" I hopped over the same bush, and quickened my pace, "but you said you had plans to meet him, right? Or something like that?"
"Yes, but we don't get in the way of each other's business," he groaned, "and those two, Owen and porcupine, wasn't part of our plan. So I can't guarantee anything."
