Jinpok pointed out what the man lacked from his movement . His skillful moves showed he definitely had some experience, but it also showed that he lacked stamina due to his age . He looks like he would be a good teacher, though . Yeah . We should bring him in . Joonb.u.m smiled . He liked that fact that some things did not require further explanation with Jinpok . They did it too . Jinpok turned to the other side where the mercenaries and hunters were shouting . Their spears agitated the Keroxes, and in turn, the animals thrashed on the s.h.i.+elds . The man who was holding a s.h.i.+eld up barely retreated and another man took the spot . Meanwhile, other men went around the back and thrust their spears at the Keroxes . It was a shallow attack, but it made the Keroxes become more violent, making room for a crossbow to land a hit . After a while, a Kerox fell down to the ground, bleeding to death from multiple crossbow wounds . We wont need to worry . Yeah . Theyre doing well . Right . I guess theyre ready for the infamous mountain . Traps and all that… It was as Jinpok said . The Keroxes did avoid lot of traps, but some would be caught by them . Snow . Joonb.u.m turned to the dark skies where snow was falling with the wind frantically blowing by . The Kerox pack began retreating as it sensed no hope of claiming victory . Theyre running away! People shouted victoriously and they shot more arrows into the darkness . Ainos warriors accurately aimed the Keroxes hiding in the bushes . Is that a motion sensor? Yeah . Its good, isnt it? With a motion sensor and the Ainos using it, sneaking in the mountains wont be possible, Jinpok commented in disbelief . WOW! Look at this fur! Hey! Lets skin it right now! Hold it there! Mercenaries began skinning the dead Keroxes while others used swords to carve out the meat . Merchants also approached the people at work to buy them on the spot . Hey, I like this fur . Sell it all to me . Oh, we have a contract with Ress already . Ress? Oh… How about that one? That ones also for Ress . Dammit! Ress takes everything these days . What if I pay you more? Sorry, its a contract . Okay . Give me another chance next time . Similar trade offers were going on throughout the area where some accepted the trade and some did not . Isnt Ress going too much these days? Jinpok asked as he watched it unfold . When the Ress Merchant Group first met Joonb.u.m, it was a small group owned by one owner . Yet when he joined hands with Joonb.u.m and Khalodian, it became one of the strongest merchant groups of the land . Its all thanks to Ress . He remembered Ress Bidin, the owner of the group . He was the one who gathered talented merchants and his families to work with him to help Khalodian when they started . He owed a lot of money in the process, but he did not stop . He was close to going bust on a lot of occasions but he made it through in the end . With the increased number of talented merchants on his side, he was able to replace the failing merchants who fell with the failing economies . Then they became second to none . He can be greedy, but he will keep his word . Ress is a smart man, Joonb.u.m explained to Jinpok . It was why Joonb.u.m picked him and he was now very loyal to Joonb.u.m . After all, it was because of Joonb.u.m that allowed him to come this far .
