While Leo was passed out, a man stood in front of him, coldly gazing down at him. He seemed to be pondering what to do with him. However, the next second, he sighed and hoisted Leo over his shoulder like baggage. He then limped into the forest without caring about the monsters lurking in the shadows of the silent forest. He had already noticed the various types of predators stalking him, but his face showed no signs of panic. His aged face seemed to curve into an expression of enjoyment, and his crouched spine straightened itself. He effortlessly threw Leo's unconscious body into the air, and his figure blurred for a second. Then he reappeared, catching Leo's body in the process. While he still had a smile on his face, he sighed and muttered under his breath.
"It seems I really am getting old. To think a few pesky cats and dogs would give me so much trouble."
