These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 50: Powerful bodyguards
Once they were given the order, most of the monsters scattered without any hesitation.
It was only the Fanged Wolves that seemed to hang around a bit as if they wanted to stay with me.
These Fanged Wolves were the first monsters that I tamed and the ones that I relied on the most.
In the end, they were the ones that became the most attached to me.
However, I just couldn’t bring them out of the dungeon with me.
No matter how strange my powers were, they weren’t able to break the rules of the dungeons that were set by a being that no one knew the limits of.
So the only thing that I could do was pet them on the head and give them another order.
"Develop yourselves in this dungeon and make sure that you aren’t caught by the humans. There might be a time that I might need your powers again."
The Fanged Wolves revealed serious looks after hearing this order.
After looking at me for a bit, they gave firm nods before heading back into the dungeon.
Seeing them go like this, I couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.
I didn’t know if there would be a time where I might need their help again or if I would ever come back to this dungeon since I had already cleared it. But at least this would give them some kind of hope to cling onto and try to survive.
But I didn’t have much hope since these Fanged Wolves were only E Ranked Monsters in the first place.
As I watched them leave, I couldn’t help thinking of the Gale Wolves from the first dungeon that I had gone into.
In the end, Wang Teng’s father had used his money to call for powerful summoners to take care of the Gale Wolves that had killed his son. So it was unlikely they had survived even though I told them to gather their power like I did with the Fanged Wolves.
I hoped that the Fanged Wolves would survive.
In a sense, it was my way of apologizing to the Gale Wolves that I harmed.
Once all of the monsters were gone, I turned back to Iris and said, "Shall we leave the dungeon then?"
She turned to look at me and gave a nod.
She had also been looking in the direction of the Fanged Wolves as they left since the one that she had gotten close to was with the rest of the Fanged Wolves.
The two of us left the dungeon like this, but the moment that we came out.
"Young miss!"
When I turned in the direction of this voice, I saw that there were several men in black suits with sunglasses running over. They didn’t even look at me, all of their attention was on Iris alone.
As soon as they came over, they came in between me and her.
Or rather, they just completely surrounded her.
Part of it was so that they could make sure that she wasn’t injured at all.
The other part was to make sure that no one would be able to approach her.
Iris immediately revealed a displeased look when she saw these people acting like this, but she didn’t say anything as they surrounded her.
"Young miss, are you alright?"
One of the bodyguards came forward and based on their figure in their suit, as well as their voice, it seemed to be a woman.
She put her hands on Iris’ shoulder and started looking at her carefully.
Iris gave a simple nod as she said, "I’m fine."
The bodyguard didn’t seem to listen to her as she continued looking at Iris carefully to make sure that there wasn’t a single scratch on her.
Iris had already made sure to clean up after the fight, so there wasn’t anything wrong with her. Even the clothes that had ripped had already been swapped out, so no one could see a single thing.
When she finally finished, she turned to look at me.

I couldn’t see her eyes because of the sunglasses, but based on the way that she looked in my direction, it seemed that she had hostility towards me.
But that wasn’t the only thing.
It seemed like the other bodyguards were thinking the same thing as this female bodyguard as they were also looking at me.
Judging by the aura that they released, none of them were weak.
Or at least they weren’t weaker than the Thunder Deer that I fought in the dungeon.
That meant that all of them were at least C Rank or higher…
Just how was Iris that she was able to have all of these powerful bodyguards?
No, it didn’t matter who she was.
Right now, all that mattered was leaving this place.
Since they were showing me hostility, it didn’t seem like things would go the way that I wanted.
In that case…
With a cough, I said, "I’ll be leaving first then."
After that, I turned to leave without another word.
Only before I could, Iris suddenly pushed through her bodyguards and came over to grab my arm to stop me from moving.
None of the bodyguards had expected her to suddenly do something like this, which was why they weren’t able to react in time. But once they came back to their senses and realized what she did, they immediately stepped forward as if they wanted to solve this problem.
It was just that they didn’t get the chance to do anything as Iris spoke first.
"He’s the one that saved me in the dungeon. If you dare do anything to him, then I won’t forgive you." Iris said in a firm voice.
All of the bodyguards were shocked to hear this.
The dropped chins that they had were more than enough to show just how affected they were by her words.
At the same time, it seemed like they didn’t know where to go from there.
That created an awkward silence that filled the air.
