The contest of strength had been as exciting as Hathaway had hoped for. Not only that, but it had given him some inspiration. He was always someone that admired physical strength but always lacked it. However, seeing the contestants giving their all made him think that perhaps he could get even slightly close to their level with enough effort.
After thinking about his potential training regimen, Hathaway focused his attention on the incident that was once again being told. He hoped that this was merely an accident as initially reported. Still, there was the concerning matter of a rope being cut to initiate this accident. If it was only a mistake, that was one thing, but if there were ill intentions, then something had to be done.
Seeing the fallen stone statue with crimson stains left a bad taste in Hathaway's mouth. The priest was surprised it wasn't cleaned up considering that they wanted to keep this incident under wraps. Hearing the others in his party list their questions, Hathaway presented his own, "Is this always the path Jia and his assistant always took? Oh and this probably isn't important, but Is there any particular meaning behind this statue?"
