Chương 613: 613 Friends?

While Liam processed the information, Madan looked around the guy, his eyes obviously going to the five elven women.

All of them were good-looking, elegant, well-endowed, and had a wild charm to them. They were also dressed very sparingly making them look extremely enticing. Madan gulped.

He then looked at the tall nasty blonde standing by his side. Immediately, he got a bad taste in his mouth. Where was the justice in this world?

Sigh. He shook his head helplessly.

"Bro, I am really saying the truth. You can trust me. This is exactly why I came here running hoping that I could find you here."

"No schemes, no tricks, no backup plans, bro. I am here only to meet with you." Madan explained again.

Liam looked at the big smile on this guy's face and the other character who was blowing on her nails as if this whole thing had nothing to do with her. Did they really break off from their group?

"Why this sudden decision? Didn't you guys religiously listen to your leader, Mr. big brother?"

Madan's face changed at the mention of the name but he quickly recovered.

"Listen bro, you stirred the pot and now you are asking who ruined the meal? Come on. What do you want me to say? I just didn't want to be a puppet anymore."

Madan sighed and turned to look at Anya, "Princess here, also doesn't want to be a puppet. So we both called it quits. The other two are still with them though. If they come to you with this same story, don't get fooled. Ha Ha Ha."

Liam's face twitched. This guy was warning him?

"Sure. I will keep that in mind." He said calmly.

"By the way, you still haven't told me why are here? Don't tell me it's just to share with me this new development?"

"Ha Ha Ha. Of course, not. I also wanted to ask bro for a clean slate. I mean white flag." Madan hurriedly stood up. No one else seemed to be interested in sitting together and chatting like civilized people so he had to get up.

"Bro, listen to me. We have no enmity between us. Sure, we have tried to kill you but you have also tried to kill us. Let's call it even bro. Please please please."

"Huh?"

"On one side, that bastard is scaring us saying that our future is dark and bleak. Apparently, we are going to die. On the other side, you are there."

"..."

"Hunting us down everywhere. I am getting nightmares, bro. I can't even sleep properly. Worse. My performance is getting affected, bro. My girlfriend is complaining."

"Oh, you guys are together?" Liam looked at Anya when the chubby hunter immediately shook his head like a maniac.

"Bro… why… I just said please don't kill me. Now you are plotting to kill me with her hands. Please don't say things like that even as a joke. She is a real… ahem… aha ha ha… friend." Madan gulped and finished his sentence.

Liam coldly gazed at the blabbering idiot in front of him and the Russian woman who still was not showing any interest in talking to him. Were they plotting something or was this actually genuine?

As if Madan could read Liam's thoughts, he sighed and whined.

"Come on, bro. Please trust me. I am really not here to mess with you. I-" Liam raised his hand to interrupt him. The thing was… this whole conversation was pointless. Trust could never be developed over a conversation or because one person said so and he would never trust this crafty hunter in front of him.

"That's enough." Liam firmly replied.

"You want me to not hunt you down and kill you? Alright. I won't kill you unless you stand against me. I can agree to that, but after that…"

"Yes. Yes. I agree. You agree. That's it. You said it, bro. You can't change it. Alright? Friends? Friends right?" Madan grinned like an idiot but Liam's gaze was unwaveringly cold.

The guy had no choice but to give up for now.

"Ah. ok." He scratched his head awkwardly, not wanting to push his luck.

"Anything else?" Liam asked.

"The elves?" Madan curiously peeked at the five women.

However, Liam again cut him off quickly, "Looks like it is time for us to part and be on our separate ways."

"Ah." Madan gulped seeing that the conversation was a dead end.

Though he was extremely curious about what quest Liam might be on that was connected with elves and on a Kingdom border, there was no way for him to know it.

"What about running a dungeon together?"

"Hmmm. No."

"Some trade? I have some special arrows that I use. We can exchange forging designs?"

"You have to talk to Mia about that."

"Bro! Come on. Let's do something together to cement this friendship. Something. Come on, don't leave like this?"

But his words might as well be falling on deaf ears as Liam continued walking away. It looked like was also done with the wailing ravine dungeon. Along with him, the elves as well walked away.

Soon the group completely disappeared from his view and he had to let them go because otherwise, the interaction they had just now would all be for nothing. He just couldn't afford to be nosy.

Madan sighed and turned around to leave. He looked at the snotty Russian blonde who was again wearing a scowl on her face, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Sigh. Why am I stuck with her?" Madan let out a long breath and gazed longingly at the distance where Liam and the elves had disappeared to.

"What did you SAY?" Anya raised her voice and crossed her hands.

"Nothing sister. Nothing." Madan cupped his hands in a praying fashion and then prepared to leave.

"What are we going to do now?" He sighed loudly when suddenly a message chimed on his system interface. Surprisingly it was from Liam and there was only one line on the message.

"Arrange a meeting for me with your big brother."
