Iris looked like she was very unhappy with what I said, but I just gave her a simple reminder.
"I already previously said that I had business in this dungeon, so I wouldn't be leaving that soon. Now that you've finished your business, I'm free to finish my business, right?"
Then before she could say anything else, I added, "This is my private business, so I hope that you will respect that."
Iris bit her lip after hearing this.
It was clear that she wanted to say sothing else, but she didn't say it.
She seed like she was holding back because she cared about my opinion.
It seed that I had made a good impression that she cared about my opinion.
It was just that I still had to stop her from following .
I couldn't use any of my real powers if she followed , so there was no way that she would be able to follow .
There was a mont of silence as neither of us said a thing.
It could even be said that we were staring each other down at this mont, as if neither of us would back down.
But in the end, Iris had no choice but to back down.
In the first place, she was the one that had forced herself onto him by offering to pay him for his services. In the first place, she was the one that shouldn't have even been here in the first place.
If it wasn't for everything that Lin Fan had done for her, then she might have died at the hands of Yu Xiang's group.
So asking for more was hard for her…
But she also didn't want to leave him on his own.
Simply put, she was worried about him.
In the end, Iris said with a sigh, "There's a safe zone near the entrance of the dungeon, I'll go there and wait. When you're done with your matter, co and find there."
I was surprised by her request.
Seeing the surprised look on my face, Iris added, "I still need to repay you properly for saving , so I'll bring you to see my family after this."
There was a mixed feeling that filled when I heard this.
There was a part of that wanted to et her family since I wanted them as my backer, but there was a part of that didn't want to et them at the sa ti. After all, I knew nothing about her parents and what kind of people they were.
Based on the clues that I picked up from Iris, it didn't seem like she would be that high of a position in her family…
Still in the end, I slowly gave a nod.
I had nothing right now, so it was better to take this risk.
If it didn't work out, then I would just avoid her family in the future.
It wasn't as if they would care about a small person like .
Iris looked moved when she saw this and she suddenly ca forward again, not noticing that her makeshift patchwork wasn't that great which caused her chest to bounce a few more tis.
I gave a gulp as she hugged again.
It wasn't because of this that I agreed, it definitely wasn't because of this…
That's what I told myself.
"I'll be waiting for you no matter what. You better co back safely." She whispered in a voice that was still loud enough for to hear.
That snapped out of my daze, but there were complicated feelings that filled .
I rarely heard anyone worry about like this, so I really didn't know what to do at first.
But eventually, I raised my hand and patted her on the head before saying, "Don't worry, I don't plan on risking my life. I'll be back soon."
"You better." She said in a slightly angry voice before lowering her head.
That awkward hug lasted a few seconds longer before Iris finally let go and got on the back of the Fanged Wolf I gave her. It seed like the two of them had even bonded with the way that the Fanged Wolf followed her orders, so it didn't seem like it would be a problem for her to control the Fanged Wolf even if she was away from my Echo Bat.
Though I was sure that she would leave this Fanged Wolf behind since it was a dungeon monster and wouldn't be able to leave the dungeon in the first place.
After she was gone, I turned back to look forward before riding my Fanged Wolf away as well.
There were other Elite Monsters and even the Boss Monster for to take down after all.
But before taking down the Boss Monster, I wanted to take down a few more Elite Monsters since I wasn't certain if I would be able to defeat the Boss Monster or not.
With so more loot from the Elite Monsters, I should be able to fight the Boss Monster easily.
The Fanged Wolves had already found the location of several Elite Monsters, so I just let them take the lead.
After a while, the Fanged Wolf that I was riding on suddenly gave a low bark.
When I heard this, I imdiately raised my guard and surveyed the surrounding area.
That was because I had the Fanged Wolf tell when we entered the territory of the Elite Monster, which was what that bark was for.
But even though I raised my guard, it didn't seem like there was anything here.
It seed more abandoned than the territory of the Kong Gorilla that we were in before.
It was just that I could sense that there was sothing out there.
The feeling that this place gave , it was as if I was being stalked by sothing…
Only I had no idea what it was that was out there.
That was until the Echo Bat suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
