"We won't?" Bowler asked with bewilderment. "Bro, I know you are strong, but don't take us as useless. Not everything you can do by yourself, we can also help."
"You misunderstand me. If everything went according to plan, I also don't need to fight," Jack said.
Bowler was getting more puzzled. "What are you talking about? Are we going to have a negotiation with the bandit?"
Jack grinned at him instead of answering. "If you want to come, come then! Summon your mounts."
"Wait, we don't have one!" Bowler uttered. Before they used the Town Return scroll and left the expedition, Commander Quintus had gone and collected the mount whistles from them except for Jack's one.
"Are you kidding me? Go and buy one! I will leave you if you are late," Jack exclaimed.
Luckily there was a stable that sold or rented the mounts nearby. With the coins they had gotten from the expedition, the mount's price was affordable even with the inflation.
