Chapter 8: Here, There is No Hope
"A farewell?"
Chen Guodong felt like he had been struck by lightning. His outstretched hand hung in the air. Forcing a smile, his voice trembled slightly, "Why leave all of a sudden? Is it because of the previous distribution of prey? If there's any dissatisfaction, we can discuss it, can't we?"
Anyone could tell he was flustered.
A woman clutching a young boy looked on at the scene in a panic, her mind blank, forgetting to say anything to persuade them to stay.
Chen Fan was equally shocked.
He remembered Uncle Zhang mentioning before that the Wei Brothers probably wouldn't stay long. Who knew it would be fulfilled so soon?
"Brother Guodong, it's not what you think."
A man who resembled Wei Tiangong but was younger stepped forward, though he was a bit too embarrassed to look Chen Guodong in the eye.
"We have no issues with the distribution of prey or with you, Brother Guodong. It was you who encouraged everyone to dig deeper defenses and fend off the fierce beasts."
"Yes, yes."
The two others standing behind the brothers nodded vigorously.
