Lind and Karu left with their new companion shortly after the Mystery Grade level of the auction began. They were hardly alone so they blended into the crowd before looking for a new inn.
They were about 2 blocks away from a street of inn when Lind sighed.
"You knew it was possible it would happen." He nodded as he looked for a place to be appropriate for the next few moments. The small girl looked scared as she grasped Karu's hand tighter.
"They are not coming for you, little one." Lind's words made her relax as they moved down an alley before a dead end area came to them.
Not even a moment passed before 6 figures seemed to emerge from the shadows. Demon cultivators!
"Brother, we can take you in if you give us that pass the old woman bought." A slim young demon smiled wide as his skinny frame belied the Journeyman Tier he held but Lind no longer feared them.
He knew also the offer was false by the malice his instincts warned him of.
