Zack and Carole set off when they heard Pierre and Lei had discovered a secret tunnel.
Meanwhile, Arlon and June teleported as soon as they learned the others had found the monster.
But they encountered Zack and Carole outside the passage.
"Damn it!" Arlon muttered, already anticipating the chaos that misunderstanding would bring.
And he wasn't wrong.
Without hesitation, Zack drew his swords and lunged at Arlon.
Arlon easily caught the blades, holding them firmly. While Zack posed no threat, Arlon didn't want to escalate the situation unnecessarily.
"Zack, stop! What do you think you're doing?" June stepped in, her voice sharp.
Zack struggled to retrieve his swords, but Arlon held them effortlessly, his expression neutral.
"We have a monster to deal with," Arlon said, letting go of the swords. "Let's handle that first, and you can try this nonsense again later."
