At that moment, Kaegan thought of something all of a sudden and said, "Then we're missing one person since there's only nine of us. Could it be..."
He thought of something as he was halfway through his words. He stopped talking and nervously looked at Fade.
After all, Tiana, who was missing from the team, had withdrawn her participation because of her conflict with Fade. After the rebellion incident with the Long family, there was no trace of her as she had yet to be found.
Fade didn't feel anything wrong about that. He doubtfully glanced at Gregary and said, "Gregary, we still have one more empty slot. Why didn't we add another person?"
"Yeah, with one more person, we can have ten participants in the team competition. It'll give us a better chance of winning!"
Gregary shook his head and explained, "It's not that simple. It was only after the special training at the drilling platform that all of you managed to familiarize yourself with each other to have a connection and chemistry among the team."
"Hence, adding one more person at the last minute would be difficult for the person to become familiar with all of you in a short time. On the contrary, it might affect your overall performance due to the unfamiliarity."
"Besides, the ten of you were carefully selected by us. It's difficult to find another candidate who's stronger than all of you and who is suitable for the competition. If his or her strength is on par with you all, or even weaker than any of you, there's no point in him or her joining at the last minute."
"So, after Tiana's withdrawal, we decided not to increase the number of people but just participate in the competition with the team of nine."
Upon hearing his explanation, everyone finally understood and they nodded their heads.
"Well, there's still a few hours left. You can take some rest now!" After saying that, 6 reg ary got up and bid farewell to them.
Soon after, the team members didn't continue talking with each other but took a rest on the plane and tried to get into the best state for the contest.
A few hours later, the plane landed in Micovia. Everyone carried their own luggage and got off the plane.
As the team leader, 6 reg ary confirmed everyone's presence and was ready to leave with the team.
A phone call sounded at that moment. He motioned for the team to remain silent before taking out his mobile phone to answer the call, "Hello, Gregary speaking."
"What? How could this happen?"
"This is complete nonsense. It's less than three days before the competition. It doesn't make sense to add anyone into the team now!"
"Yes, it's my opinion. I don't agree, I definitely disagree!"
After hanging up the phone, Gregary seemed furious.
The team instantly felt astonished and curious at the same time. They wanted to ask what had happened.
Even before they could speak, Gregary's mobile phone rang once more. As soon as he saw the caller ID, his facial expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly picked up the phone, "General Liu, I'm Gregary."
"I just found out about it."
"This is too outrageous. I don't..."
"Yes, I'll complete the task," Gregary said as he straightened up his position.
Soon after that, he hung up the phone; his expression was solemn. He stood still for more than ten seconds without a word.
Tiger came forward and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what happened?"
Gregary slightly trembled and said, "The superior just called and said that he wants to add another participant to our team."
"What? Add another person now?"
"Are you kidding me? It's too sudden to add someone in at the last minute!"
"Then, what about familiarizing ourselves and the alliance among the team?"
