But it didn't matter anymore, Oliver gathered his thoughts.
After all, as far as he knew, Yasi and his group had no intention of using violence against Atbolde again.
There was no longer a suitable reason, and Atbolde had been holed up in his residence...
It was like facing a wounded lion on the brink of death, the hunter's best course of action was not to deliver the coup de grâce but to quietly wait on the sidelines.
In fact, Yasi's order to him was simply to make sure there were no longer any apprentices... no longer any hope around Atbolde.
Now that Colin had made such a choice, the purpose had indeed been fulfilled.
Of course, as for the specifics, he needed to go back and ask Yasi...
"I wish you smooth travels, and the Hidosh Family will always welcome the joining of a Silver Feather," Oliver flashed his signature smile once more, congratulated Colin, and then turned to leave.
Colin watched Oliver's figure gradually recede and prepared to turn back into the house.
