An Important Villain

The hero or the Devil?

Ian and his party was guarding the Mountains where the Tiger tribe lived.

They were keeping an eye out for any sudden or unnatural movements to confirm whether the organisation had made it all the way here or not.

But it was taking a while. While they stayed, ate and slept in tree branches like some monkey, Ash ran out of patience and decided to check things out for himself.

So he decided to pay the owner of the mountain they were guarding a visit while Ian was supposedly sleeping. He put in a lot of effort to make countless shields around Ian before he finally left for the mountain with a peaceful mind.

As he met the tiger and was invited to come in, he was genuinely shocked by how similar it's house inside the cave looked to a human abode.

But then again, he wasn't there to sightsee or enjoy the scenery while sipping in tea, so he got to the point straight away as soon as he sat down on a chair.

"Did a group of people visit you before us? Can you tell me what they came here for?"
