132 A New Companion

"But how come you were here if you ran away from your attackers on the third floor?"

Daisy asked the question that has been bothering her, but to her irritation, Ken stopped her again.

"He might have been captured after entering the fourth floor for some reason. Here, take this healing pill before you answer."

Ken said in a dismissive tone as if they shouldn't pry on his business while giving Alaric a healing pill he took out of his storage ring. This pill was slightly different from the normal ones.

"Thank you. It's ok, I can tell you. After running from the third floor, I was angry and broken from losing my friends. I blamed myself for giving my trust carelessly and getting my partners killed. I entered one of those rooms to blow some steam and fight the blood monsters, but instead, I was ambushed by those guys."

"I can understand how you feel. I lost two of my best friends a week ago, and I blamed myself for not being there for them."
