El, who had just gotten out of the car with a shotgun in hand, was mid-curse when he caught sight of a pair of unusual eyes flashing a hidden red light. The anger that had just risen in his heart swiftly subsided, along with his built-up tension from the past few days.
The strange change stunned him momentarily, and a tall human figure materialized in front of him.
A middle-aged man, dressed in neat hunter's clothes, with deep-set features, weathered eyes, and a very noticeable scar, extended a hand apologetically, "I'm terribly sorry for stopping your car in this manner, it's too difficult on the highway."
"If possible, could I hitch a ride? I'm willing to pay double the fare, and will get off once we reach Blue Deer City."
Although the appearance of the second body was somewhat eccentric, Tang Qi's gentle tone quickly alleviated some of El's caution.
