"We're mainly concerned about people like Isaac coming to the island..." Fiona supplented when she saw Elijah silent.
"If you're worried about that, then I can assure you, there will never be n randomly joining this island in the future. Even if they do join, it will only be with your consent!"
"In that case, let's cooperate happily!" Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, her smile lightening up a bit as she reached out her hand to Elijah.
Elijah didn't shake her hand; instead, his expression grew more serious.
"You've finished stating your demands. Now it's my turn!" Fiona's smile froze.
"Do we have cups?" Elijah asked.
"Yes!" Emily responded promptly. She released Gabriel and hurried to the counter, returning with a stack of paper cups, which she placed on the table.
Elijah arranged the paper cups one by one, placing six in front of the table. Then he picked up the mineral water prepared for the tourists nearby and unscrewed it.
"Gulp, gulp," he poured the water into the six cups. Then he took out a knife and cut his finger, letting a drop of blood fall into each cup.
As everyone watched him, initially puzzled, they quickly guessed what he intended to do.
"My request is simple. All you have to do is drink this cup of water!"
"Is this a blood oath?" Gabriel behind them asked with interest.
But Fiona felt it wasn't that simple. "What if we don't drink it?"
"Then I'm very sorry, but those who don't drink cannot stay on the island!" Fiona pondered.
"Do all the people on the island need to drink it? Including your people?"
"Yes!" Elijah confird.
"Alright! We'll drink it!" Fiona decisively lifted the cup and drank it all. Hannah and the other two won also took the cups without hesitation.
Seeing the two cups left on the table, everyone turned to Gabriel and Emily.
"Do we need to drink it too?"
"I don't think we need to. After all, we didn't plan to keep you on the island anyway!" Fiona said indifferently.
"Huh? Sister, you're so heartless! Brother-in-law..."
"What your sister said is right!"
Elijah followed up.
"The service area outside the island also needs soone to guard it, and I think you're suitable for the job! You can't let a few unard won guard the door, can you?"
Gabriel looked at the weapons in Daisy's hands and then rembered the kitchen knives in the hands of the four won earlier.
Then he looked at himself, completely unard! Truly defenseless! He drank down with tears in his eyes.
Emily, on the other hand, was very happy. This indirectly ant that this group of people had accepted her.
"Although the process may have been unpleasant, the result is good. Welco to join my big family!" Elijah reached out his hand and shook Fiona's.
"Since we're family now, can we talk about what secrets you're hiding? Or... your supernatural abilities?"Fiona elegantly withdrew her hand, a faint smile on her face.
What a sharp woman! Elijah was amazed!
"Mutual respect! You've also hidden abilities, haven't you?" Elijah picked up another bottle of water and handed it to Daisy.
"Here, for you, your favorite chilled beverage!"
"Wow, how amazing!" Daisy exclaid in surprise. The water, which had been at room temperature, was already frosted and even beginning to freeze in the short ti it was handed to her.
"How is this possible?" Hannah, who had been keeping a straight face all along, showed a rare hint of astonishnt.
"Ability replication?" Fiona was also surprised, and at the sa ti, she seed to realize sothing.
When Elijah and Daisy deactivated their invisibility, she had a question.
How could it be so coincidental that two people awakened the sa ability at the sa ti?
At that mont, she speculated that perhaps an invisibility wielder could make their companion invisible too.
Now, seeing Elijah's ability to replicate others' powers, everything made sense!
"So, the blood from earlier was so sort of dium? A contract? That allows you to replicate our abilities?"
"Very clever!"
Seeing the subtleties! So much content deduced from just a detail. Elijah's admiration for Fiona's sharpness grew.
"I guess, even without our help, you could handle Isaac and the others, right?"
"Ah! So, the water at the entrance..."
Daisy realized it too! They intentionally flooded the entrance with so much water! Daisy suddenly understood.
If they could instantly freeze the water, it would definitely catch the enemies off guard!
If the enemy could be frozen, wouldn't the enemy beco a living target?
"Freezing such a large area of water is still quite taxing for Hannah. And there's no guarantee it would be effective against Isaac and his group. It's all desperate asures. So, we're very grateful for your help. We ca out of it unscathed!"
Fiona didn't feel it was sothing to boast about. When it cos down to it, it's a matter of fighting to the death.
That's sothing nobody wants to see. They were prepared to fight to the death. But who wouldn't want to live!
At this point, Elijah received so images from the mutant female zombie again.
Because of the distance, he couldn't receive real-ti images anymore, and the frequency of images being sent back had decreased significantly.
Shortly after, Elijah "saw" Henry being bitten and Isaac fleeing in a sorry state.
"Too bad, Isaac got away!"
It would have been nice to keep one, but letting a powered individual escape is still a threat.
Upon hearing this, Fiona couldn't help but sarcastically think about letting Isaac go: wasn't it their own doing?
Elijah didn't explain. With the facts discussed, his tense nerves relaxed.
Making a pact with six people and experinting with Hannah's "freezing" ability had been a significant drain on his ntal and physical strength, especially since they hadn't slept all night.
Relaxing now, exhaustion surged.
"My head is pounding. Are there any vacant rooms here? We haven't slept all night, and we need to rest now! If there's anything urgent, we'll discuss it after we've rested!"
The seed of consciousness had been planted, and the ntal suggestion had taken effect.
Elijah was no longer worried that this group of people would harm him. Next, he and Daisy needed a good rest; there were still many things to be done.
Seeing Elijah, who suddenly looked fatigued, Fiona, though a bit puzzled, didn't say anything more. Instead, she had Katherine take the two to a nearby guest room.
On the way, Elijah could clearly see so bloodstains and traces of dragged bodies that hadn't been cleaned up.
It seed there were quite a few zombies here initially!
"Did you clear out all the zombies here?"
Katherine nodded.
"Fiona used obstacles and Hannah's ability to trap the zombies, and then we killed them, gradually clearing them out."
Elijah could probably guess their thods.
No wonder the weapons in the won's hands were stained with blood.
Won who could face zombies directly were no less than n.
Elijah couldn't help but admire these four won once again.
Especially Fiona, smart, sharp, and courageous! And they're all so beautiful!
Truly a stroke of luck!
