Before Asher could even walk far, he already saw Malrik. The man was already within the tunnel, as though he couldn't wait to see his brother. The moment he saw Asher walking forward, Malrik wore the brightest and biggest smile any Wargrave had ever worn as he immediately moved forward, pulled Asher into a hug, and lifted him off the ground as though he were still a baby.
Asher could feel the excitement coursing through Malrik's face and body, the man's joy completely unconcealed as he held his younger brother with genuine happiness.
"Big Brother, please put me down. I'm not a baby or a child," Asher spoke with an exasperated tone as he didn't bother struggling physically, as there was simply no need.
Malrik immediately agreed, putting Asher down before ruffling his hair as he spoke, "You rascal, look how powerful you've become, even hiding it so deeply. You really gave all of us a scare back there. HAHAHAHAH!" He laughed loudly and spoke without a care about who was watching.
