679 Catching a cheater (2/2)
”Wait, so was Quinn wrong?” Dennis asked. ”The first set of movements weren't what he said.”
”No, Quinn was right,” Nate replied. ”It wasn't the same thing Quinn had said because they decided to set the game to random again. That's why he couldn't even last longer than ten seconds.”
”However, it also means, we can't prove they cheated,” Linda said.
Although, there was something Quinn could do, he could use his influence skill to get a confession form Wevil himself, but before that. Quinn went ahead and completed the level seven game a second time, blocking the attacks more normally this time.
”Well, it looks like you won, so the dispute is settled,” Mantis said, looking almost happy. ”However, you weren't able to prove we cheated after all.”
Quinn was going to use his influence on Wevil. To admit what he had done, but there was an odd look on his face.
One that looked frightened, Quinn had seen this a few times before, it was the face someone made when they feared their own death.
'If he gets outed here, then will Mantis do something to him?' Not wanting to cause any trouble for the others just over a few credits, Quinn decided to leave it.
”It's okay, I was just trying to mentally get him out of the game.” Said Quinn. ”I could see that if I claimed he cheated, it would throw him off his game and it looked like it worked pretty well.”
'He's giving him an out.' Linda thought.
”Oh, I see, so it looks like you're not just the leader of the faction because of your skill but your Brains as well. It's good to know that the other faction that shares this planet isn't filled with completely useless people.” Said Mantis staring in Dennis's direction.
'I'm going to pull that green hair of his out, and use it as grass to crap on!' Dennis thought in his head.
”If you really want to improve our relations, then I was wondering if you could do us a good deal on some Glathrium?' Quinn asked.
This was the other reason he was being nice; he was trying a different approach as Linda had suggested.
”Oh, I guess Glathrium is becoming harder to come by these days. Very few planets have it, and the military has already dug out all there Is on earth.
”I'll tell you what, in order to improve our relations and to forget about all these silly complaints, I'll give it to you for free,” Mantis said.
Quinn couldn't believe it, getting it for free. Maybe being nice was the way to go. There was no unnecessary fighting, no deaths and now no credit cost.
”I do have a favour to ask in return,” Said Mantis.
”Of course there would be,” Dennis sighed.
”Our group is still new to this planet, so we don't really know the best hunting spot for beasts, we were wondering if you could take a group with you when you go out for your next hunt,” Mantis suggested.
Dennis didn't like it, and neither did Linda honestly. She felt like something was up, the deal was too much in their favour, but honestly, Quinn didn't care.
Even if they were planning something, from using his inspect skill, he knew every single one of them were nobodies that wouldn't cause him any trouble. Whatever was going to happen, he was going to get that Glathrium.
”We're going on a hunt right now.” Said Quinn.
”Excellent, I'll gather a group of five to go with you then.”
