Chapter 42 - 42: Discovery
His expression shifted from grim to cheerful in an instant, showing a very friendly smile. He turned to that person and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I just discovered someone quite dangerous."
Upon hearing this, the person's expression changed slightly. "Someone? Do you know him?"
It's worth noting that finding someone on this vast trial island is no easy task. Even if participants enter the forest, most return the same day. Being this far from the base means it's not a one-day round trip.
Therefore, if someone can survive alone in the wild, they're definitely not to be underestimated.
Additionally, according to what Soros said, this person is dangerous, which means he likely knows him.
Soros gradually stopped smiling and nodded seriously. "Yes, he's the first place in the trial; who wouldn't know him?"
The person he was speaking to also became serious. Although his impression of Cain was based solely on that calm expression after taking first place, he felt a slight apprehension toward someone who could surpass Xander.
Soros's expression turned solemn, very different from the smile he showed others. With the person in front of him, there was no reason to hide anything.
As someone who had grown up with Soros, this person knew him well. Even back at the base, Soros managed to create a small yet influential force thanks to his help.
Thus, as the one who knew him best, upon seeing Soros's expression, his face changed drastically. "Don't tell me you plan to attack him, right? And how can you be sure it's him?"
After all, everyone knew this guy wasn't afraid to challenge Xander, someone clearly different from the rest, probably with connections in Team Rocket.
