'Looks like I overestimated my own strength.'
'But once we actually started fighting, I realized just how much this body was holding me back.'
'Forget about taking on all of them—I was struggling just to handle one.'
'If I kept fighting, my stamina would never hold up against a grown man's. I'd be in for a world of hurt.'
But since Stella Sterling hadn't said anything, he didn't dare to stop.
Now that he had her permission, he immediately scurried back.
He even tossed his knife aside.
He wasn't the least bit worried they would suddenly attack, catching him off guard.
'Stella Sterling told him to stop, so his mission was complete. He didn't have to worry about anything else.'
'Even if these people suddenly attacked, that woman, Stella Sterling, would handle it. He wasn't needed anymore.'
At this thought, he glanced curiously at the bald man.
'That guy and the woman obviously know each other. And he even seems pretty happy about it.'
