Chapter 293 - 293: The Final Test Begins
Dawn broke the next day.
At the Rocket Team's base on the test island.
In the square where previous exams had been held, a crowd had gathered.
It was half an hour before eight in the morning, the time the final test was set to begin.
All the participants were already there.
Cain, along with Skye and the others, stayed in the far corner. At this final moment, there was no need to provoke unnecessary confrontations. In the final test, no one but oneself could be fully trusted.
The leaders of the various groups surely understood this.
They had gathered followers mainly so that, during the three months on the test island, they'd have some subordinates to help manage minor tasks in exchange for a measure of protection. It was a fair trade.
However, the number of people who would remain truly loyal after the test was something only time would reveal.
Probably only Xander was still fixated on the number of followers.
He stood at the center of the square with around thirty or forty people. Yesterday, he hadn't managed to recruit anyone from Cain's group, but he had succeeded in drawing in a few loners from Alec's group.
