Chapter 1152: A Small Wooden Cabin
After traveling for a while, Irina took out a map, wanting to determine their approximate location before deciding on a direction for their actions.
Meanwhile, their companion was calling the people who remained on the highway, but there was no response at all; everyone understood what that implied.
The people waiting on the highway and those meant to meet them by sea were gone, leaving only one of the three operational squads of the Hunter’s Guild, despite their elite forces being fully deployed — a conclusion far too grim for anyone to accept lightly.
Lin Xi had doubled back and taken Gu Chuanshan away, completely disregarding the feelings of Irina and the others.
Some wanted to vent their frustration on Gu Fan, who had always been reluctant to cooperate fully, but as soon as Gu Fan noticed their hostility, he gave off a martial arts master’s aura to intimidate them.
Irina hastily tried to make peace, "Okay, everyone, remember one thing: if we want to get out of here alive, we must work together."
Someone objected, "How can we work together when they have someone who can fly and carry their people to safety one by one? We, on the other hand, end up being chased down and blocked by Organization X, only to be completely annihilated here."
Hearing this, Gu Fan felt their resentment and tried to reassure them, "Okay, since you’ve helped us, I can offer you a promise. Lin Xi will only take my parents because they are old and can’t help much anyway. I will stay and fight with you to break out of the encirclement. How about it? I could leave, but instead, I choose to stay and face adversity with you, so let’s consider it even."
Irina’s eyes narrowed with scorn, "At a time like this, you’re still driving such a hard bargain."
