Chapter 124 - 124: Constitution, Conversation, Con

The Prisoners that were in their houses all caround tremble They have not really experienced an earthquake before in the Pit, and so the looks of fear on their face could be seen clearly

There's also the slight fear of the Locals What if that ru their army inside the Wall? They do not even knoas they have more than a thousand years of history and a thousand years to populate this place, there should be almost more than hundreds of thousands of them Even a million if they weren't in the constant threat of the monsters from the Portal

As far as the Prisoner population knows, the only person alive today that has gone to the other side of the Wall was Boss She was also known to be the oldest resident of the Pit now Soone, and yet she was still here

"What… as that!?"

Some of the Prisoners have started to panic as they left their houses one by one

"Are we under attack!?"

"I knee shouldn't have messed with the Locals!"

"What if… what if they have decided to get rid of us!?"

"Where is Boss!? Shouldn't she take responsibility for killing the Locals!?"

"You called forin the air instantly stopped as Boss' words entered the people's ears They quickly shut their le the to worry about, people," Boss clapped her hands, causing some of the Prisoners to flinch, "Reed has already checked the Wall, everything is fine"

The Prisoners all dispersed to the side even before Boss finished with her words One prisoner, however, approached her

"People are at their wits, Latanya"

The man held a different aura from most of the Prisoners For one, he was fully clothed, and two, his face was too clean and kempt, with his dark brown hair even slicked back

"Oh, Rick You need so?"

The man was Rick, the leader of the East side

"People are starting to whisper and gossip Is it really the right decision to antagonize and keep the Locals here?" Rick said as he looked towards the disheveled locals

"What do you think?" Boss, however, only said a feords before walking away, not even bothering to glance at Rick

"Hm…" Rick could only furrow his eyebrows as he watched Boss' back slowly disappearing into the distance He was about to head back to his own house, but before he could do so, a voice slithered into his ears

"Really… what are you so afraid of, dick?"

"Grant"

Rick's frown grew even worse as he looked at the man that whispered into his ears It was a red-haired h he looked skinny, the sharpness of his muscles could still be seen clearly His s that filled his face and torso

"We will protect your people, dick" Grant licked his lips as he stared directly at Rick's eyes, "Just give us the wo Grant's words, Rick only let out a tiny scoff, "This again? Do you really think we have a chance against the Locals? Why do you think Boss doesn't try to rally us up to destroy the Wall?"

"Pft, who cares I am more interested in the little fish that came in yesterday anyway Where is he?" Grant squinted as his eyes scanned the Eastern side of the Encaht on your side"

"If the boy is indeed on our side, then that's that Unlike you, Grant, we do not coerce or force anyone to live on our side"

"Oho, is that so?"

With both leaders talking to each other, the Prisoners on both sides started to once again gather up as the pressure in the air was starting to build up Their stares, ready to erous?"

The Locals, ere currently caught in the et If the two sides were to start a brawl, they would surely be involved in the fight

"Let the each other, then we can escape during the panic"

"Heh These people are nothing but barbari--"

"!!!"
