Chapter 291: Chapter 177: Hope Village Has an Alliance_4
Just now, when he beca a resident of Hope Village, the system also generously gave him quite a few Contribution Points!
Locke looked at Zhou Bai calling out his na, feeling a stir of excitent, but after the excitent ca a solemn expression, “Village chief, the lord of Barnes Village has also sent people to Hope Village, and they may be up to no good.”
“How so?” Zhou Bai asked.
Locke paused, then continued, “This ti when we ca out, the departure of several groups ahead of us drew too much attention; many of the followers had to flee… Our forr lord was rather unpleasant, Hudson is his confidant, and this group of soldiers must be here to scout things out. They’ve been following you all the whole ti.”
After listening, Zhou Bai also paused, feeling a bit embarrassed.
It was impossible for others not to be angry after taking one-sixth of their people.
However, thinking of what Bayer had said, he imdiately felt justified.
It was to the credit of Hope Village that it could attract so many people; why couldn’t Barnes Village keep its own residents?
And given Locke’s words, the reputation of the Barnes Village’s lord wasn’t very good, otherwise, why would so many people have run away with them?
Looking at Locke’s worried face, Zhou Bai said directly, “Let them scout if they want! As long as they don’t bring trouble to our doorstep. Even if they do, I’m not afraid. Since you are here, stay well in Hope Village. Have you encountered any difficulties since coming here, or is there anything you’re not used to?”
On hearing Zhou Bai’s thoughtful words, Locke felt moved.
“No trouble at all, everything is great, my family likes it here, and all the others are very welcoming,” said Locke, his face breaking into a smile.
He had just bought a Level 3 Residence, and after handing over the furnishing to a specialized team, his wife and son were excitedly shopping for furniture at the Wood Workshop!
If it weren’t for spotting Hudson, he would have been accompanying his family as well!
For the others, there was even less to say; compared to Barnes Village, this place was leagues better, and they adjusted much more easily.
Seeing Locke’s smiling face, Zhou Bai also smiled unconsciously, “That’s good to hear.”
Locke listened, his heart beating a bit faster.
The village chief was simply too kind! Such a down-to-earth leader of the territory was really hard to co by!
Holding back his excitent, Locke quickly said, “I’ve delivered the ssage, so I won’t disturb you any further, village chief.”
After getting Zhou Bai’s response, he took his leave.
He needed to settle his family quickly and then get his teammates acclimated to the rhythm of Hope Village, to fully integrate without letting the village chief’s expectations down.
After Locke left, Bayer asked eagerly on the side, “Do you need to keep an eye on their movents?”
Residents from Barnes Village would be easy to find in Hope Village, even easier to monitor.
Especially since they were just ahead not far away!
“No need,” Zhou Bai replied, glancing in the direction Locke had looked just before. He had already seen Hudson and the others and then declined, “Hope Village isn’t afraid of their spying.”
When they’re done spying and go back, only others will be hurt.
“Alright,” Bayer nodded.
At that mont, seeing Locke report to Zhou Bai and worrying they would be under surveillance from the people of Hope Village, Hudson and his n, who had been nonchalantly glanced at and then ignored, were stunned.
Although they felt like the other party wouldn’t dare to do anything to them, being completely ignored was beyond their expectations.
“Captain, it seems like they don’t care about us?”
Upon hearing this, Hudson tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, “If they really don’t care about us, we can just observe slowly here in Hope Village!”
With enough information for the Lord, they would have an easier ti explaining themselves.
Yet, he had a feeling that Hope Village was not sothing their own lord could control.
