"What is your goal then? Trick us into slavery? Make us work for you without pay? What are you really after?"

The young man asked.
"…I also grew up in the woods. I am not saying that I lived in the same conditions, because that would've been a lie. I had a proper roof over my head and a warm meal every day.
"However, in woods such as this, I was reborn with my martial arts."
Kiernan said with a chuckle.
"…You don't know anything about us."
The young man said.
