Chapter 30 - Consume (5) (2/2)

Yeon-woo asked, taking a quick peek at the players behind

Kahn and Doyle also looked perplexed

Kahn sighed lightly

“Well, we can’t do anything about them for now We’ll have to escort them out of this swamp”

As a o, just like Yeon-woo

Since they got the Hargan’s Crown they wanted, they didn’t have any reason to hang around here any longer The tutorial’s re quickly

“It’s not your duty to keep them safe”

“Hey, I have a human heart, you kno can I leave them here?”

Kahn scowled at Yeon-woo, but Yeon-woo looked calm

A hu he had always felt eird about them On one hand they could be stern, but on the other hand they were too soft They were too nice to other people Sometimes that attitude could be poisonous Not to mention, they were currently in a place where there were a lot of hyenas just looking for a chance to bite off their necks

Yeon-woo had a lot of advice he wanted to give them, but he decided not to because it was obvious that they wouldn’t listen to his advice Also, he was going to have to leave the before Yeon-woo’s concerns turned out to be real

“Uhive me some food?”

It wasn’t much of a deal at first All they did was to co for food These people had been held captive and couldn’t eat properly Doyle apologized for not sharing the food in advance and he handed out soed the jerky he received tightly in his arms and returned to his seat When the eyes of the other players gathered up on him, the player made eye contact with Ethan The player then nodded silently It was a cue to let him know his plan seemed feasible

‘Is that so?’

Ethan rolled up the corners of his mouth

In fact, it was Ethan’s order that sent hi when they tried to take care of this many people, but they are actually a couple of pushovers’

In fact, the plan Ethan had presented to Brend was very simple

‘My teammates and I will make a scene in order to slow them down And then, you will come forward and ask them for a break Do you remember the place where three rocks are placed outside the swamp? Lead them that way’

‘What’s about next?’

‘The three of the, so I bet they aren’t gonna say no Then while we’re on a break, he’s going to ht?’

Their plan was to lure Yeon-woo’s party to a designated location under the excuse of taking a break, and to catch Kahn and Doyle off guard to steal their ite by what I’ve observed, it’s a perfectly feasible plan’

Ethan’s trait was ‘Capture’ His trait allowed him to infer other players’ personalities and tendencies after observing their habits Thanks to this trait, Ethan had been able to co on his wits and words, even though he didn’t have any special talent

And he had exa Brend After that, he had figured out so from it What Kahn valued the most was neither money nor honor, but ‘loyalty’

Each person has a different set values and different standards And when people’s values collide, they tend to believe that the values they pursue are the absolute ‘justice’

In Ethan’s view, the loyalty Kahn and Doyle valued could be easily exploited People like the their own grave They could have ignored the players or leave the the them merely out of the sense of responsibility That was the evidence He even disliked talking behind his teammate’s back

‘In other words, if I don’t cross the line, I can exploit them as much as I want’

So Ethan sent his ist of it

‘No touching your loyalty or your pride, is it? Well, that’s easy Huhu’

But there was so on hisfishy about it, it’s hilance at the masked man who silently followed Kahn and Doyle It was Yeon-woo

‘That guy… I can’t tell anything no matter how hard I try’

He was the one as said to haveEven with that e his name remained anonymous within the tutorial

Normally, there could be only one case A person who doesn’t reveal himself, has strict self-discipline, and kno to cale the situation

Ethan’s trait did not show anything from him Moreover, whenever he watched Yeon-ith his minions to find out about him, whether it was a coincidence or not, Yeon-woo also turned his head his way and caught his eyes

Beneath the whiteHe felt naked before the two floating Will-o’-wisp-like eyes that seeave him chills all over his body

But that didn’t stop Ethan’s plan No matter how suspicious he was, there was no way he could have noticed theonna take the bullet and set the table for us’

Ethan scoffed at how dumb Brend could be In fact, the plan he had told Brend wasn’t the end of it, it was only the first step The real deal would happen right after that

Drawing their attention while his friend stole a little bit of their artifacts and Tokens? It was all a lie

‘Stealing isn’t enough They are Kahn and Doyle we’re dealing with The 3rd and the 11th ranks! And the other guy is the one who destroyed the Lizard the first place won’t be just a drea off a cruel look

TheAnd the et out of this trap either

Ethan then gave a signal to his an to throw tantruht now…”

“Can we slon a little? I, I’ really tired”

“I’m sorry, but I need to use a bathroom”

Later on, some people even started to lay down on the floor and refused toto ht now If I go out there, I’ll just be monsters’ food Then, I’d rather sit here all day!”

Kahn and Doyle were slightly annoyed They had a long way to go, but these players were dragging their feet down No, it wasn’t just dragging the their way They were now more like shackles instead of burdens

Doyle looked at Kahn asking what should they do

Kahn frowned and sighed briefly

It wasn’t like he couldn’t understand the hopeless towards their future, but he couldn’t just indulge all of theive away some of his Tokens and leave them here

It was at this naled Brend

Brend was the player who had taken the role of representing the others If such a person stepped up and ht listen to him

Brend nodded and slowly approached Kahn

“Well, I think the long captivity had them mentally tired I realize you are busy, but I’d really appreciate if we can take a break around here”

Kahn stopped walking and started to contemplate Then, he looked back at Doyle and Yeon-woo and asked for their opinions

Ethan, watching froot lots of friends waiting for you to show up’

It wasn’t just a couple of players waiting in the vacant lot Several troops with dozens of players in it The scavengers aiting inside

As soon as they enter the designated place, the traps would activate and Kahn and the rest of the party would fall into their hands

The reed

‘Huh?’

Ethan noticed there was so at hi from And there, he found a couple of eyes curved upward underneath the white ?’

The ht came to his mind,

‘We’re bust…!’

Ethan instinctively stepped backward He didn’t kno Yeon-woo had noticed him, but for now, he had to run away

However,

Swish

He saw soht in front of hi pain right in the middle of his forehead, the whole world turned red
