Nate hesitated for a moment as he looked at Charles, cautiously asking, "Charles, are you sure you want to take the left path?"
Charles nodded with complete certainty. He understood why Nate was hesitant and offered a brief explanation:
"Don't worry, just follow me. Unless something unexpected happens, we'll be the first ones to leave the maze."
Zara, who had been following Charles the whole time, didn't hesitate for a second. She simply followed him, continuing on.
Nate exchanged glances with his companion. After a brief moment of hesitation, they chose to trust Charles.
After all, without Charles, they would have been kicked out of the secret realm by the talented Beast Masters of the Haunted Marsh long ago. Moreover, Charles seemed confident, which gave them a spark of hope.
If they could leave the maze before all the talented Beast Masters of the Haunted Marsh, and leave those arrogant Beast Masters dumbfounded, that would feel so satisfying!
