At that moment, Jack had been thinking about what to do with Maxcus when favonovel.com suddenly felt a strange movement.
He could sense the arrival of four men on the hill next to them.
The geography was quite complex where they were, and there were many hills and valleys that obstructed one’s sight-which the newcomers took advantage of to hide.
The ones who had arrived were Brock and the others, who were disguised as demons. Lazlo was after Jack’s bunch.
At the time, they had been quite far away from Jack and the others, having been almost twice as far away as Maxcus.
They just happened to be waiting there for someone else and witnessed Tanner’s group rushing in front of Jack.
Right after that, they saw Maxcus’ group arriving quietly before hiding behind the hill.
Seeing a total of nine warriors gathered in one area, both Lazlo and Lenny were ecstatic. After all, they only managed to capture six men even after being there for so many hours, which was embarrassing. Other than those who were working together, they did not know how everyone else was doing.
Only the Vermillion Tune Formation would display the results. Even without seeing the results of anyone else, they felt embarrassed just looking at their own.
The three of them captured only three men each, far from their most basic goal. Even though it was just the first day, their initial hall was quite an impact on them. Thus, when they saw nine warriors at the same time, they got so excited that they almost danced.
However, Lazlo quickly calmed down. Even though they encountered nine participants at the same time, it did not mean all nine of those participants were theirs to take. After all, there were only two of them, and there were nine on the other side.
Even though none of those nine were a match for them individually, it was hard to say anything if they banded together. Even if the two of them managed to beat all nine of the participants, it did not mean that they would be able to stop all of them from escaping.
The moment someone escaped, it would cause a chain reaction.
The fact that they were disguising themselves as demons would immediately start to spread. Then, the whole plan would be affected. They would have to shoulder the blame and would be punished seriously once caught.
To prevent that from happening, Lazlo immediately decided to go and look for help. Even though they would have to split up the rewards in the end, it was better than having the whole plan affected and becoming criminals. That was why they were shocked to notice that there were only five out of the nine left when they got back.
Lazlo’s lips twitched. “I thought we were fast, but four of them still left in the end…”
If this was the case, the four of them would only be able to get one each. They did not know how they would split the odd one out, but it was better than nothing.
On the other side, Maxcus was still trying to assure Jack of his integrity.
At that moment, Jack suddenly interrupted him, “Wait. If it’s about working together, I don’t mind.”
The moment that was said, Maxcus and the others were stunned. Even Lourain was confused.
Why did the topic suddenly shift to working together?
How was Jack even willing? Could they have missed something important?
Jack showed no emotion when favonovel.com saw how confused everyone else looked.
He maintained his calm as favonovel.com said, “I saw you three just now. Something similar just happened.”
