Dark Fox hesitated for a mont before looking at John and finally saying, "That's because I want to play the long ga."
Silver Tear felt even more confused.
If they really needed to do this, why didn't they just tie these people up in the first place?
Now, by letting them go, wasn't that just like releasing the fish back into the ocean?
"You know, sotis in fishing, you have to let the fish swim away. Sotis, only when enough fish are free will soone bite the hook."
Their visit here today was actually just to investigate sothing about Victor.
And indeed, from what yellow-haired had described, there had been a raid on the Immortality Church.
Although they didn't know who exactly was behind it, they could guess it likely had sothing to do with Victor.
Only Victor would have the strength for such a move!
"So, what do we do next? Are we really going to that underground city?"
Silver Tear asked deliberately, and John smiled and nodded.
"Yes, next, we'll head to this underground city to take a good look around, let's et this underground city!"
He was also curious about this Chaos Star, but the underground city had remained standing all this ti.
Who exactly was backing it? Could it be entangled with various powers?
If that was the case, they definitely needed to visit the underground city.
"But... they've already left."
In Chaos Star, any new face is quite conspicuous, especially a group like theirs—two n and a woman, with the woman being notably delicate in appearance.
Sotis, despite their desire to remain low-key, to others they might appear the most ostentatious.
Most importantly, they are unaffiliated with any power, making them a blank slate in the eyes of others.
This ans they lack any protection, leaving them vulnerable to everyone.
"If today they only had to contend with one side, that might still be manageable. But if everyone starts to take action against them, then it becos a serious problem."
"Don't worry, if soone really decides to make a move, they certainly won't let it go easily."
This trip to the underground city was intended rely to observe the machinations of the person behind the scenes.
Since the underground city is a hub of information on this planet, it ans there are many things they could potentially do.
For instance, they could gather so intelligence, or look into how the Immortality Church is recruiting—what exactly is going on there?
They might even clarify what's really happening, so they don't waste ti here.
Silver Tear and Dark Fox exchanged a glance and eventually nodded, signaling they roughly understood the plan.
If things were as John had described, then perhaps they could resolve their issues without wasting more ti here.
They could simply wait for their adversaries to co to them, which would also be to their advantage.
"Let's go. I believe the three of us still have so ability to defend ourselves here," Dark Fox said, allowing himself a small chuckle, which prompted Silver Tear to roll her eyes.
If the three of them lacked the ability to protect themselves, their trip here would indeed have been in vain.
Who didn't know the extent of their capabilities?
Wasn't this group they encountered a perfect example of biting off more than they could chew?
As they confidently walked out, they indeed caught many people's eyes.
Many knew of yellow-haired and his crew's reputation in this area.
Initially, when people saw yellow-haired targeting this group, they were worried for them, knowing full well what yellow-haired and his gang were capable of—usually, young won unlucky enough to fall into their hands t grim fates.
And if it were a man, he might even be thrown into the underground city.
Yet, unexpectedly, this group had co out unscathed.
Moreover, when yellow-haired and his crew had erged earlier, they appeared to have sustained severe injuries, with yellow-haired himself having lost a hand.
The lackeys nearby also wore expressions of terror, which raised quite a few eyebrows among the onlookers lurking in the shadows.
Who exactly were these people?
Why had they never been seen before, and yet now they were able to put yellow-haired at a disadvantage?
Many had initially wanted to take action, but now they forcefully held back.
They didn't know the origins or the background of these strangers.
If they were to act hastily, yellow-haired's fate might very well be their own future.
John calmly t the gazes of those around him.
He could roughly guess what they were thinking, so he wasn't bothered at all.
If they had the ability, they would have already charged forward and attacked them by now.

It seed these people were just envious for the mont.
What they might actually intend to do would depend on how things unfolded.
John and his companions were on their way to the city center when suddenly a person erged nearby.
This person wore a radiant smile and his tone beca very gentle upon seeing John.
"You three must have just arrived in Chaos Star today, right?"
Silver Tear and Dark Fox exchanged a glance; though nothing was said, it seed as if everything was communicated between them.
They had been curious if John's strategy would actually work, especially after how yellow-haired and his crew left in a sorry state.
If anyone really intended to target them next, they might consider the fate of yellow-haired's gang.
It turned out the bait worked better than expected; they had barely walked a few steps before soone eagerly approached them.
"I see that the three of you are sowhat unfamiliar here. Since you're visiting our planet, I naturally feel obligated to introduce you to so of our most unique places," the man said, smiling warmly as he offered a booklet to John.
His gestures and expression were very respectful, genuinely seeming sincere.
John, however, did not take the booklet but looked at the man with a half-smile.
"Although it's my first visit, that doesn't an I'm completely clueless."
With his knife, John gently nudged aside a cart in front of him.
His smile remained unchanged, but his tone grew colder.
"I really don't need this kind of thing."
Silver Tear instinctively glanced at the booklet in front of them.
It appeared to be just a regular promotional pamphlet with nothing unusual.
But why was John so wary?
Dark Fox maintained an expressionless face, but internally, he beca more vigilant.
The man, despite having his ruse exposed, showed no change in expression, still smiling gently.
He simply tucked the booklet away discreetly, his face growing even more deferential.
"It seems the gentleman does not fancy such things; no matter, if you accompany us, you will be our honored guest. We can guarantee you the top-tier services this planet has to offer."
As he spoke, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a badge, similar to the earlier one.
This badge, compared to the pamphlet, seed more intricate, featuring additional elaborate engravings.
Silver Tear subtly lowered her gaze.
Even from this distance, she could still sense the magical fluctuations emanating from the badge.
Even if she was slow to catch on, it was now clear that the booklet and the badge represented entirely different things.
