Cain's brows furrowed, his voice stern as he confronted Zarek. "Huh? What do you mean by new members? My decision was absolute. I'm not looking to recruit any hunters. I don't run a guild, and this isn't a charity."
Zarek crossed his arms, clearly unbothered by Cain's tone. "Oh, come on, Captain, don't talk like that. They're good hunters! This guy here is reasonably strong," he said, pointing at Grey, "and we have a healer. Just what we need for a party."
Cain sighed, the weight of annoyance pressing down on him. "Listen to me, Zarek. Even though I agreed to add you to my party, it was a one-time deal. And you've grown stronger—judging by your power, you've matched the level of an S-rank. You don't need me."
