The unremarkable-looking captain of the second team looked at the captain of the first team for a moment before turning away as he continued to observe the scene.While doing this, the captain of the second team said, "I should be asking you instead. Why are you here instead of joining your team to capture the culprit who attacked our people? Are you really that timid that you would rather stay behind and let your team face all the risks on their own?"There was pure disdain dripping from the mouth of the captain of the second team and it was clear that he did not want to have anything to do with the captain of the first team."Haha, don't be like that, after all, we are comrades who are in the same boat so we should get along well with each other."The captain of the first team laughed off the words of the second team's captain.His skin was sufficiently thick and it was like nothing could penetrate it at all.The first team's captain conti

Thirty minutes later...This was exactly how much time had passed ever since Arran and Brianna started their operation to confront the alliance while searching for the tokens he needed to advance to the next round.In these thirty minutes, Arran's location had been broadcasted to all the participants two more times but despite that nobody had managed to capture him instead Arran had been very slippery like an eel as he evaded the pursuit of his enemies while also taking the time to knock some of them out of commission.During this time, Arran had come across a number of close shaves where he was almost caught and defeated but with the help of Brianna and the various preparations in the form of different formations and traps that Arran had set up in the beginning, he was able to get out of danger where at times he would instead of being captured and eliminated, Arran would instead eliminate his opponents.It was like Arran was playing a game of tag with th

Hearing Brianna's urgent message, Arran frowned as he digested the implication of what he had just heard.After thinking for a moment, Arran simply sighed in resignation.Arran thought to himself, 'Indeed, what is meant to happen will definitely happen! Although I expected to be found sooner or later, I never thought that it would be this soon. I had thought that I would still have a bit of time to cause some chaos and reduce the combat strength of the alliance. Now that I'm already found out, I guess there is no need to stall any longer. I should end this now while I'm still ahead.'With these thoughts in his mind, Arran quickly raised his Holowatch and contacted Brianna who immediately picked up the call.From the other end of the Holowatch, Arran could make out Brianna's word coming out in a hurry as she didn't let him speak before she started asking."Hello Arran, can you hear me? Thank god you finally contacted me.""Where are you right

"Ah, if it isn't Mister Reed. Come, come and join us and let us have a look at you."As soon as the temporary leaders of the alliance saw Reed Truman coming over to them, they immediately generated smiles on their faces and called out to him jovially.With the way they were responding to reed's presence, it was like they were facing an important dignitary, one whose standing was not one bit inferior to them.If people saw this scene right now, they would think that the ten temporary leaders of the alliance were meeting with a foreign supervisor and not one who was technically their subordinate.Reed's expression was unchanging and he had a straight poker face plastered for all to see.His expression was unreadable and nobody could pry into the thoughts in his head.Reed finally reached the ten temporary leaders and he bowed nodded slightly to the ten of them as a basic show of respect.Since all of them were peers of the same generati

People were wondering why the alliance did not just immediately storm the cave and defeat whoever was inside. With their numbers, the alliance should be able to do this quite easily. After all, that was what gave the alliance to run rampant in this mountain.With their numbers, not many people were willing to mess with them and even those that were not afraid of the alliance would still never fight a prolonged battle with the alliance members.They wouldn't want to be overrun by the endless flood of reinforcement that the alliance could muster.Some people felt that this was actually a correct move by the alliance.Everybody had seen the large numbers of traps and formations that had been set up all over the tunnels leading to this cave.Some of those present here had been unlucky enough to fall into those traps and trigger the formations and they knew just how troublesome and sinister the traps were. anybody that was not prepared would definitely
