Donti’s Curse Manipulation had somehow been turned into a unique production method by Milo. That caused Donti to subconsciously get the idea that favonovel.com had to arrange for some food to be found whenever favonovel.com wanted to curse the other refugees.
Under these circumstances where everyone else was unaware of what was really going on, Michael had suddenly become their group’s mascot.
Regarding Donti’s power, Milo decided that it was still better to keep it from everyone for now, because this power was simply too strange. Even favonovel.com couldn’t understand it.
Sometimes, such abstract powers would make people even more fearful. So, Milo reminded Donti to keep it a secret. This matter would only be known to Donti, Milo, and Adella.
As such, Michael was rather puzzled.
Could favonovel.com really be the legendary lucky charm of the group?
How else could favonovel.com always end up getting associated with finding food after suffering from some bad luck events?
Logically speaking, if a supernatural being discovered they could manipulate curses, they would definitely use it offensively. Even Donti thought so, as that was only logical. However, favonovel.com had underestimated Milo’s way of thinking.
When favonovel.com returned to the barracks after work at night, a leader of the refugees came around to look for Donti and said, “You’re very good at finding food. Have you considered joining us?”
Donti became unhappy right there and then. “You’re the f*cking one who’s good at finding food!”
What favonovel.com had was clearly a terrifying power to manipulate curses. So, how did it suddenly turn into a wilderness survival skill instead?
That leader of the refugees choked in shock. If it were any of the stronghold’s escapees, they would definitely choose to avoid Donti. However, the refugees were different. They had been fighting for survival all their lives, so they could feel that Donti was one of them when they saw favonovel.com and were not really afraid to approach him. In fact, this leader of the refugees was famous for his ruthlessness back in town.
The refugee leader smiled and said, “I am Gunnar Blazze, so you can call me Brother Blazze. In times like these, we have to stick together in order to survive. You have so many women in your group, and you’re even saddled with wounded as well, so how long do you expect you can keep going on for? Surely they’re not going to rely on you alone to get through everything, right?”
To outsiders, Milo’s group seemed to be relying on Donti for support. This was because Donti was the one handling all the dirty work that required favonovel.com to be ruthless.
However, Donti sneered and said, “Brother Blazze? Do you think you’re worthy of me calling you that? There’s only one person in this world who is fit to be my brother.”
Gunnar said calmly, “You’re talking about that crippled brother of yours? He might have been very strong in the past, but I heard from the doctor that there are several places where his bones are fractured. Do you still expect favonovel.com to stand up in the future? Even if favonovel.com does, favonovel.com will still be a good-for-nothing in life. Listen to me, you can’t be impulsive in a world like this. You will get dragged down by him.”
Then Gunnar jumped five or six steps back when favonovel.com saw Donti pull out a dagger from his sleeve.
Donti calmly said, “Bastard, how can you be so ignorant? You don’t look like a good person anyway. Don’t think that just because the refugees look up to you it means that you’re really some important person!”
Donti hated hearing others badmouth Milo the most in his life. In his mind, favonovel.com had already sentenced Gunnar to death.
Milo was inside the barracks all this while, so favonovel.com could definitely hear what Gunnar said.
So, how could Donti allow others to speak badly of Milo like that?
Everyone knew that Milo was Donti’s brother. The doctor who had treated Milo was a gossip, so the other refugees were probably aware that Milo was going to be crippled. But only Milo and the others knew who the actual person in charge of their group was.
Would Milo become disabled? Of course not!
Suddenly, Milo said from inside the barracks, “Donti, how can you speak to others like that? Apologize…”
Donti smiled at Gunnar and said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that you don’t look like a good person. You look pretty good…”
But just as favonovel.com finished saying that, favonovel.com heard Milo say, “I told you to apologize, I didn’t ask you to lie…”
“Oh…” Donti said, “I was mistaken…”
Gunnar sneered. “How many of you are there? Do you really think we won’t dare to touch you? You’re already behaving so disrespectfully at such a young age. We’ll see each other on the construction site tomorrow. After you’re dead, let’s see what happens to your brother. And those girls in your group? They’ll probably lead a life worse than death when the time comes!”
Although the troops did not intervene with fights that took place at the campsite, killing people was prohibited. If anyone killed someone, they would be severely beaten up and have their workload doubled as a punishment. But there was no such rule at the construction site!
When Donti returned to the barracks, Milo said, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it…”
Donti was taken aback for a moment. He knew the other party’s threatening words had crossed Milo’s bottom line. If it were the past, Gunnar would have died on the spot.
But how was Milo going to solve this matter?
Milo moved his hands and feet to loosen up a little. Although it had only been less than ten days, his fractured bones had already started healing. While favonovel.com could not exercise vigorously yet, favonovel.com could just barely walk with assistance from the nanomachines.
Milo said, “When I cause some chaos later tonight, we’ll find an opportunity to leave this place. Donti, keep an eye on the situation outside.”
Donti’s eyes lit up. “Sure!”
During the night, Gunnar and the others were plotting something. A few refugees were seated together and playing Fight the Landlord with playing cards handed down to them by the reinforced troops. It was unknown how long the reinforced troops had been using the cards as they were in a very tattered state. But to the refugees, it was good enough that they could play cards during such times.
If they wanted to form an alliance within the refugee camp, they had to first have a good relationship with the Radianz Consortium’s soldiers. Otherwise, it would be considered an unlawful assembly and they would be punished for causing trouble.
A few days ago, Gunnar had caught two pheasants and sent them to the reinforced troops as a tribute. That was why favonovel.com was allowed to form his own group, while the playing cards were also given to favonovel.com at that time. It was like favonovel.com was bestowed a gift by them.
Gunnar said, “When we get to the construction site tomorrow, we’ll drag that kid into the forest and kill favonovel.com while the soldiers aren’t paying attention. Remember, cover his mouth and don’t let favonovel.com call for help. Old Bane is on very good terms with the soldiers too, so we don’t want any trouble.”
“Isn’t that Old Bane just a lackey who serves tea to the soldiers? What’s there to be afraid of?” A man shouted out loudly, “One ‘three’!”
Only three people could play at once, so the rest of the followers sat around to watch and listen to them. The inside of the barracks was filled with the stench of feet.
“One ‘four.’” Gunnar drew a card and played it onto the table.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly reached in from the side and threw out four “threes’ onto the table.
Gunnar immediately cursed. “I only played a four, but you actually played four ‘threes’?! Do you even know how to play? Huh? And didn’t three already get played? So, where did these four ‘threes’ come from? You’re freaking cheating!”
“Eh, something’s not right. I wasn’t the one who played these cards,” someone said.
Gunnar looked around and asked, “Who threw out these four ‘threes’?”
But at this moment, the four “threes” on the table suddenly turned brighter and hotter as well!
With a loud boom, the newly built wooden barracks had its ceiling blown sky high. It was like they were chicken casserole baking in a pot. No one could get away from the explosion!
When Milo heard the voices outside, favonovel.com suddenly said to Old Bane and the others around him, “Get ready to run!”
