In the following days, Olson would lead the group of Hunters through the snowy mountains in search of the bear that had completely vanished without a trace. His rebukes towards Orleans became even harsher, and on several occasions, he even called him a "good-for-nothing" in front of everyone. As for Wen Maixue, he would at times verbally abuse and at times physically assault her, fully tearing away the facade of his noble gentleman.
While Olson may have seemed majestic during the day, his nights were dreadful. He desperately tried to fall asleep but would always wake up around midnight, only to find Wen Maixue's absence from his side. He knew where she went but was powerless to interfere. The flames of resentment grewwildly in the hearts of father and son Olson, both teetering on the brink of an outburst yet clinging to the last vestige of their moral line of defense.
