This statement did not spare a shred of dignity for Dalton Collen, Andriya Norman, Lutz Bailey, or Bahmir Balves.

If those six Tyrannosaurus-like giant beasts are considered dullards, then what were they, who were ruthlessly chased by those beasts and cornered into a narrow valley, managing to survive by the skin of their teeth?

A stupider version of dullards?

Bahmir Balves’ face hardened, yet he dared not vent his pent-up resentment.

This was too much!

If it weren’t for Wizard Palo’s bet and the need for the help of Link Grande, Balves wouldn’t want to put up with this unjust accusation.

“We’re ready and can set off anytime.”

Lutz Bailey promptly voiced his readiness, trying to quell the disgruntled Balves.

“Boss?”

Dalton Collen looked at Link, filled with questions.

He remembered the Boss saying that he didn’t want to mingle with the people from the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” as it would likely hold him back.

Wouldn’t the present situation put the Boss in a difficult position?

After raising his question, Dalton didn’t wait for Link’s answer and directly addressed Andriya Norman, “Let’s split up here. I’ll go with the Boss, and you three can go together, helping each other out.”

“Alright.”

To his surprise, Andriya Norman agreed without any objection.

She even sighed in relief, as if not traveling with Link was a refreshing and joyful matter.

“We should stick together. Having an extra person means an extra set of eyes.”

Lutz Bailey didn’t want to part ways, hastily adding, “There are too many people from the North District, and we from the Southern District are already few, belonging to Palo…”

Mid-sentence, Bailey became aware of Elise Clark’s status and quickly corrected himself, “In short, the more the merrier.”

“What’s your opinion?”

Elise Clark asked Link directly, “Will we take these deadweights with us?”

Link shook his head, spoke to Dalton Collen: “You go with them, I’ll go ahead.”

As he finished speaking, Link turned and left.

He only gestured for Elise Clark to follow.

Initially, he did consider bringing Dalton Collen and his group along.

It’s true that there were a lot of people from the “Pure Blood Will”, and fighting them single-handedly was not impossible.

But having a team would make things easier.

However, after seeing Andriya Norman’s series of abnormal behaviors, Link’s instincts and intuition raised alarm bells.

He has always placed a lot of faith in his intuition and instinct.

Given this, he decided not even to bring Dalton along and let him travel with the others.

He would make covert contacts later to find out just what Andriya Norman was up to.

“What should we do, then?”

Seeing Link’s straightforwardness, Lutz Bailey realized that his calculations had fallen through.

He looked at Andriya Norman, confused: “Why don’t you want to travel with Link Grande? His achievements and abilities are not inferior to Lanny Taylor’s. If we stay with him, it could save us a lot of trouble.”

Andriya Norman kept her head down, remaining silent.

It seemed she was still stuck in the shadows of being poisoned and waking up to a frightful shock.

At this moment, Bahmir Balves roared: “Hey, I don’t believe it. Without Link Grande, we can’t even move an inch!”

All this time, Dalton Collen was holding onto Andriya Norman’s hand, patting it softly, whispering soothing words. But upon hearing Bahmir Balves call Link by his first name, he flew into a rage, let go of Andriya’s hand, pointed at Bahmir’s nose and roared: “You fucking respect my boss, is his full name something you can blabber about? Without my boss, would you have been able to escape that place? You goddamn son of a bitch, I gave you face and here you are, yapping about!”

Bahmir Balves’ face turned red from being scolded, but he didn’t know how to refute.

After all, Dalton was stating facts.

Should he argue further?

Spit!

I, Bahmir Balves, the brilliant talent with lower fifth rank’s aptitude, would never stoop to argue.

He turned his head, refusing to look at Dalton’s detestable face.

“Enough!”

“Lutz Bailey shouted sternly, “Can we stop this infighting and making a mockery of ourselves! Have you all forgotten about unity and mutual help?”

Dalton Collen curled his lip, “Only an idiot would believe that.”

Lutz Bailey instantly shot Dalton a disdainful glance, with no words, just darkly staring.

Dalton Collen, having been through numerous brawls with the likes of Buck Watt, which toughened him, was not afraid and glared back.

“Collen…”

Andriya Norman tugged Dalton’s arm a bit, whispered his name and then turned to Lutz Bailey, “You should also tone it down, Lutz. We’re all on the same side. We shouldn’t fight amongst ourselves. This constant arguing really isn’t becoming.”

Dalton Collen muttered, “I don’t have such a companion.”

Andriya Norman gave him a reproachful look.

Looking at those slightly flushed eyes, Dalton Collen pursed his lips, but in the end, he didn’t contradict Andriya Norman, and shut his mouth, no longer arguing.

Lutz Bailey also quieted down.

Only Bahmir Balves was still sulking with an air of resentment.

After a long silence.

Lutz Bailey broke the awkward atmosphere and suggested, “We should get moving as well, just following behind Link Grande and the others.”

He paused for a while, perhaps to avoid having Dalton Collen misinterpret his intentions, and explained, “In this way, we can avoid many dangers in advance, so that we won’t end up causing trouble recklessly like before, when we had no idea what was going on.”

Bahmir Balves wanted to refute, but he was stared back by Lutz Bailey.

He rolled his eyes, growing even more frustrated.

Andriya Norman showed a flash of reluctance in her eyes, but in the end, she didn’t voice any objection.

Some things shouldn’t be done too blatantly.

Otherwise, it would undoubtedly cause a heap of trouble once they went out.

Dalton Collen didn’t say anything.

As long as it didn’t interfere with the boss’s arrangements, it didn’t matter.

In this way, the four of them hit the road again, following the path that Link and Elise Clark had walked on.

Ahead, on the road.

Elise Clark was walking side by side with Link.

Having seen the activities of the four through the mind of the Bionic Eagle to which she was connected, she curiously asked, “They are following us, aren’t you going to do something about it?”

“Do something?”

Link asked back in confusion.

If they wanted to follow, just let them do so.

If they really wanted to harm Link, Dalton Collen being an intelligent man, would definitely notice and warn him in advance.

Even if Dalton Collen were deceived, or even betrayed them, it didn’t matter.

There were the Flying Sphere Reconnaissance Magic Tools and the Four Scouting Puppets.

Surveillance was everywhere.

“Setting up delayed explosives and the like, to greet them with a surprise.”

Elise Clark proposed naturally.

Explosions were so much fun.

She loved the sound of explosions the most.

Speaking of this, it occurred to Link that he had never seen Elise Clark use magic often.

She used the wood system detoxification spell once when they collected water for the first time.

At other times, she would rather use Magic Tools than magic.

There might be some secrets or methods behind this.

Link didn’t askbluntly.

He refocused his attention on Elise Clark’s “suggestion” and flatly said, “It’s a waste if it’s unnecessary. Apart from hearing the bang, what else would we gain?”

Elise Clark pouted and made a funny face at him, mouthing:

Stingy!

But she didn’t call Link a poor man.

Because she knew that Link still had two dividend items at his disposal and was very capable of generating income.

After goofing around, Elise Clark’s curiosity popped up again, asking, “Did you find something wrong before? Is that why you refused to let them join us?”

Based on what she saw when Link Grande came to their rescue, Elise Clark thought he did not seem like a fan of going solo.

There must be a reason why he bluntly refused a potential team right before his eyes.

Link didn’t conceal anything and directly revealed the reason, “There’s something suspicious about that Andriya Norman. A top 30 freshman in the Southern District would just eat anything they find here? Even if the fruit had a problem, it wouldn’t have affected her so quickly. Additionally, she seems resistant to teaming up with me, she’s hiding something.”

“Just like that?”

Elise Clark’s eyes widen in surprise.

“Just like that.”

Link nodded indifferently.

He always tended to speculate about others with malignant intentions.

If it’s questionable, then reject.

To keep things simple and peaceful.
