"That sucks. The Fang Clan member from before is too sinister for me to handle alone by myself, if it ever decides to attack me. Wait! Why would it target me though? I am just a weak hero with little power. Chances are it is likely you, brother Hui Shi that it may be targeting. I heard the priests of Ensieth were all very powerful people that are protected by Lord Ensieth himself. He may be mad that you healed us back then, so he decided to tail you, in order to find out how powerful you truly are, before he comes after you himself." Annette stated while shivering.
As a hero, she had never been given a mission to fight those much stronger than her, especially those at or above the unity stage. And she believed judging from the dangerous insect following the Fang Clan man from earlier, as well as the behavior of the guards towards him that he was definitely someone at the unity stage or higher. Only nobles, and people at the unity stage or higher get preferential treatment by the guards at the gate.
"That might be so. It must be brother Hui Shi that he's after. I haven't done anything that'll make him come after me either. Besides, my current power at this current time may even be weaker than sister Annette, due to the restrictions placed on my strength. So there's nothing noteworthy about me for him to be chasing after." Lain added as well in bafflement. He just arrived in the city, and may already be targeted by a powerful enemy. He hadn't even heard of the Fang Clan until earlier today, but now he may be going against them.
"Well, you may be correct. But I hope you keep my warnings in mind. We may all be the target of the Fang Clan. The Fang Clan have always been a cruel and highly dangerous clan that practices many secretive arts. Going against them is no different from going against an untouchable zone. So be very careful from now on." Hui Shi replied, after a brief moment of pondering.
After making sure that both Lain and Annette nodded at his warnings, he then sighed, and said to them. "Well, that should be all for tonight. We should probably get some rest before we head to the Hero recruitment office tomorrow morning. I believe brother Mon Dupa is expecting to meet us at the nearest office within this district."
"Yeah. We should. I'll go rest in my chariot tonight. I wish to spend some time alone, with the new information I just received about the Fang Clan. That way I can figure out a way to protect myself in the future. I may need to buy some protective instruments tonight." Annette replied, after a moment of thought. The thought of the Fang Clan possibly coming after her slightly weighed her down.
"Great idea, sister Annette. Brother Hui Shi, you can stay in any of the rooms, if you wish for a place to rest in. I'll stay in this second bedroom, in order to rest my head, and think about how to deal with the Fang Clan." Lain replied as well. He wasn't sure the Fang Clan was truly coming after him. But he still needed time to rest and figure things out on his own.
