In an hour, Ace's Sixteen and the new recruits were ready to head back to the Camp and Bank Grotto. Tyler made it official that he'd joined Ace's Sixteen and would work with him and his Camp. A few rankers joined on the spot.
The Camp suddenly looked better than Heaven Village. When Olivier told his regulars, the village erupted.
"Edward Sawyer is gone... Veis is nowhere to be seen. Hunter casually said he's going to gun for a safe zone himself... and other top rankers were never a part of Heaven Village! This is getting crazy!"
"Why did I spend days digging an underground camp if everyone competent is going to leave?!"
"It's not like you had anything better to do."
"True."
In the commotion, one man froze, eyes on Ace's Sixteen: Drew, the third Heaven King and armory blacksmith.
He stood with his hammer lowered. Behind him, his friends and coworkers from the smithy lined up, just as confused.
When he spoke, only one word escaped. "Bruh."
His friends echoed, "Bruh."
