"Everyone, please stay close and follow our lead!" Fred called out as he glanced at Jason and the others.
Without wasting a second, his team swiftly moved into formation, surrounding Jason and Adam's group from all sides. The sudden movement made them tense up instinctively. Unease flickered across their faces as they exchanged glances, and almost in unison, their eyes turned to Kisha for reassurance when they realized Fred's team had encircled them.
Seeing their worried expressions, Kisha hoarsely reassured them, "Don't worry. They're warriors from HOPE Base. Their job is to protect the base and its people. They're here to escort us back, just like I promised."
Although Jason and the others already knew this, the aura surrounding Fred and his team was on a completely different level. Especially during combat, their sheer strength was intimidating. But thanks to Fred's team, the journey back to HOPE Base was smoother and safer than any of them had expected.
