[Sukhveer: What if Alex had his egg hidden inside the area where he holed up when the sub-scenario started, and he was making it seem like he could move away with his egg?]
This was a recent ssage that changed many things for people in Muzaffarnagar.
None of them had really thought of it that way before.
Yes, it was true that there were guardians who could run away with their eggs; there were those who could hide their eggs in their inventory as well, but what about Alex?
No one really knew what type Alex was, as no one had been able to catch him.
[Rashmika: It's possible that he had been tricking us all this ti.]
People slowly started to think back to all of what had happened.
[Krishna: Yeah, now that I rember, wasn't it after the fact that there were guardians who could move with their eggs in their hands was revealed that Alex started to run?]
Things started to make sense to everyone.
No one was doubting Garvit, of course. Garvit was a righteous man who could only think about the people's good; there was just no way he would collude with a man like Alex.
And all Garvit did was inform everyone about the new type of guardian; it was Alex who made use of that thing to plan things afterward.
[Yogesh: Also, I didn't see any kind of egg in his hand when I t him.]
People who had t with Alex, who had paid around 100 coins to Alex, slowly started to co up, revealing whatever they knew.
The thing that this Yogesh guy said was not actually a justified reason to doubt sothing, as there was still a possibility that Alex was able to store the egg in his storage.
Now, there were many people who were dubious of Alex, while there were so who believed that the only thing they would find after going back to the place Alex was hiding at first would be nothing.
Among the many people who believed in that possibility were the five leaders of the group ford to complete the quest.
All of them felt a bit off about all the things that had happened before. Why was Alex hiding in the forest when he had a mobile egg?
At first, they had thought that he was just passing the ti or maybe practicing sothing, but now it was different.
What if he really had his egg right there, and when he saw the chance—Garvit's ssage—he decided to change his strategy?
All five of them knew that right now, as they worked their hardest to get their power up, Alex was doing the sa. That guy was growing stronger as well.
Alex's growing strength was not actually good for the leaders. Yes, Karina and Mira had stepped out of the mission; they had surrendered to their fate.
Were they going to have the difficulty of their scenario raised? So be it.
Many people survive the raised difficulty in the second scenario. They could do the sa.
Ragha and Urmina, on the other hand, were hellbent on taking their revenge on Alex. Urmina never really admitted defeat; it was just that she was left with no choice at that ti, but Ragha was only doing this because he ca to know of the fact that Alex had one of his legs missing.
Saurav was with them for the sa reason—to defeat Alex. He just wanted to know how weak he was in front of Alex.
All of the leaders, excluding Karina and Mira, who didn't want to be implicated in their actions, were now headed toward the area Alex used or the area they had camped close to.
What none of them knew was that everything from the start was Alex's doing.
The fact that Garvit texted in the world chat was his doing; people finding out about his missing leg was also intentional, and now this streak of ssages that were going on about how Alex had fooled them all was also Alex's doing.
That Sukhveer guy was soone Alex had co across when he was returning to check up on his egg. It was Alex who had asked for the guy to relay that ssage.
Alex wanted to know who would catch him first. Whoever it is will be the first one to die after all. He didn't have an ounce of doubt that not all the leaders had given up yet, especially not Urmina, so he waited and waited until he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching.
The mont he heard that, he hurriedly jumped up the tree, cautiously staring at the ones who were coming towards him.
Alex was sure that it would be either Ragha or Urmina; he really hoped that it would be them.
Ragha had battle art, sothing that could help him finally take his unnad battle art a stage higher, while Urmina, well, she was just Urmina.
It was not that he was drooling for Urmina's ability; it was good, but not sothing Alex would want to have no matter what.
He just wanted to take care of her—he wanted to kill her. She felt like the one with the most animosity toward him; Alex could tell from the way she kept staring at the trees even after giving him the arrow.
He knew that he needed to eliminate her, or she would be more of a pain than a help, unlike the others.
'Hah...'
But as soon as he saw who it was, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of disappointnt.
They were just so random low-level guys. They were probably here to scout the area.
Well, what did he expect? He did kill one of the six leaders before, so, of course, the others would be cautious.
"I guess he's not here?"
It was then that one of the three n walking toward Alex's tree spoke.
"Well, we are still alive; that ans he's not here."
The other replied as they ca forward and stood right beneath the tree Alex was hiding on, their backs resting on the trunk, unaware of the fact that Alex was right above them.
"Yeah, I was shitting my pants, wishing that the next step I take is still safe."
The third man sighed in relief, his back drenched in cold sweat.
All of them were scared to even step into this area; the image of their friends and known people getting killed was still fresh in their minds after all.
"Let's not waste any more ti here, man; I feel really weird for so reason."
The first man spoke again, rubbing his palms against each other. That man was a sensory-type player, with an ability to perceive any type of killing intent if it were to be pointed at him, so even though Alex's gaze didn't have any killing intent in it, the guy still felt strange chills.
"Yeah, let's go. We just need to tell Boss Urmina about it, and we are done for today."
The second guy spoke before he started walking away from there, followed by the third guy, who yelled from behind.
"Hey! Wait for !"
Only the first guy was left looking around cautiously.
He could feel soone watching him, but he couldn't pinpoint the location, and this was the first ti this had happened.
He could easily pinpoint the owner of any malevolent gaze, no matter where they are hidden.
Soon, however, the guy shook his head and followed behind the other two guys. He failed to notice the shadowy figure that had jumped down the tree the mont he left.
His work here was done, so he just went ahead and inford their boss about it.
