"We saw this monster first. We had been chasing it before, but we didn’t expect that it ran out of energy and died halfway. You don’t want to steal our prey, right?" The armored man’s smile carried a sinister edge, and he was quiet good at distorting truth.
The others team mber widened their eyes in surprise, never expecting Sanchia Calderon would dare utter such words.
How could he be so sure that this monster wasn’t slain by this man?
Although they had this thinking, nonen of them wanted to dismantled the armored man’s stance.
Their gaze fixed on the monster’s corpse, and their eyes brimming only with fiery intent.
If they could lay claim to this monster’s remains, it’d be a massive gain.
"Friend, what my companion said is true. We indeed spotted the monster first," Heriberto Cabrera calmly stepped forward, and standing shoulder to shoulder with Sanchia Calderon.
Both if them were the strongest in the team, and side by side, their combined visual impact and intimidation were unparalleled.
A month in this jungle, and this tactic had subdued many rival teams.
Of course, it was also because those teams lacked the strength and dared not engage in a fight.
Moving with injuries in this jungle would be even more disadvantageous.
Youma Loera who is hidden in the foliage, wore a look of astonishnt, and gazing incredulously at Heriberto Cabrera’s lying yet unflinching deanor.
Their captain had always been righteous.
Upon entering the jungle, Youma Loera had frequently reminded himself not to be swayed by personal gains.
But what was he doing now?
In truth, Youma Loera had sensed sothing amiss in the captain since he agreed with Sanchia Calderon’s plan to pursue the monster.
He simply hadn’t wanted to believe it, but now, he had no choice.
The captain’s composed lying deanor clearly wasn’t a first-ti occurrence.
Youma Loera transitioned from shock to disappointnt, ansbbthen to numbness.
Had he overestimated people, and believing there were those untouched by personal gain? Did such individuals scarcely exist?
"Do you have any evidence?" Kenny Lin’s eyes held sothing unsettling, causing the blood color in his eyes to deepen, and casting a crimson hue over his faces.
"The wound is evidence!" The armored man pointed to the monster’s injuries,with the thick blood that still oozing, as if it was their handiwork.
"How about i give you another chance?" Kenny Lin twisted his neck, and his cracking bones can be heard.
Heriberto Cabrera stared at him, his vigilance in his eyes was unwavering.
Although he agreed with Sanchia Calderon’s approach, he dared not underestimate the man before them.
Seeing the man’s arrogance even when alone, Heriberto Cabrera’s expression darkened, "Friend, as the captain of our team, even though we first spotted the monster, since you reached here before us, I can decide to share a portion with you."
"Captain, why waste words? He’s just one person, and we’re many. We have the upper hand, and he couldn’t possibly have killed the monster," the armored man was certain they could overpower the man.
"How can you be so sure?" Heriberto Cabrera countered, having his own suspicions.
The armored man sneered, "Look at him, there is no a scratch on him. If he really killed it, how could he be unscathed, he just trying to profit while pretending it’s genuine."
Heriberto Cabrera lowered his gaze; he also had the sa thoughts.
This man was too clean.
In this jungle, he hadn’t seen a single hunter that looked so spotless, not even among the elite of the Fruit Nation who stood at the top of the pyramid.
Moreover, this area was quite distant from the entrance.
Even if this person had just entered, it was impossible to reach here imdiately unless they had been hiding.
"It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble; our gains this ti are sufficient," Heriberto Cabrera simply didn’t want to make it more complicated.
"I know there’s only one person on the other side, but we still have to back down? I disagree. It’s either he leave or he die!" The armored man stood firm.
"I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can’t overpower one person."
"Yeah, Captain, I think Sanchia Calderon has a point," several other team mbers chid in.
With the division of contributions in their team, having one more person ant a smaller share for each.
Sanchia Calderon was always at the forefront, and often not leaving opportunities for the others.
Given their current gains, after dividing it among themselves they wouldn’t get much from this hunt.
Now, with this monster, their gains would be increase, and allowing everyone to get a share.
But if there was one more person, their shares would much less, and leaving everyone uhappy.
Heriberto Cabrera’s eyes were covered with a dark shade, and in his pupils was reflected the towering figure of the monster—a treasure trove.
Ultimately, he was persuaded by him and exchanged a swift glance with the armored man.
After a month, the two had honed their understanding, and often do coordinating strikes against a single individual.
However, the apparent attacker was actually the one who is being shielded.
By the ti the opponent realized their mistake, the situation would reverse, and the one who striking would remain the sa as attacker.
This tactic, seamless in execution, and had led to the demise of many people.
Kenny Lin suddenly lifted his eyelids, and witnessing the two strongest individuals in the team finally had faken an action.
His jaw slightly lifted, while observing their agile movents, his handso face began to adorned with a brilliant yet ruthless smile.
With only 25 minutes left until half an hour, and these people were truly wasting his ti.
His temperantal girlfriend would surely be angry again.
It’s better to end this quickly.
If the armored man and Heriberto Cabrera changed their perspective, they would notice the continuous drip of thick, and dark blue blood beneath the black coat of the man.
It fell into the foliage, and it was absorbed by the earthy and bloody-scented soil.
Youma Loera who is standing a bit afar, hadn’t heard what Heriberto Cabrera and Sanchia Calderon had said, but it was evident they didn’t want to share the monster remains with the man in black.
Having spent a month with them, he had so inklings.
But despite being teammates, he didn’t want them to resort to violence.
This man in black was emitted a dangerous vibe.
From the mont he laid eyes on him, he knew what he had feared previously.
Initially, he thought the sense of danger ca from the monster, but only to realize it was co from this man.
Before he could intervene, Heriberto Cabrera and Sanchia Calderon is already acted.
Their coordinated strikes, an intended pincer movent, were a lethal maneuver.
He had witnessed this move multiple tis.
They aid to swiftly dispose of the enemy before attracting more people or monsters.
However, those previous encounters were against monsters, demons, or demon cultivators.
Back then, it hadn’t felt wrong, as all three of them were beings that was incompatible with the living creature in mortal realm.
But now, they were using it against a human.
