The green-masked man laughed in disdain as he mocked them, "I heard that you were smart, but it looks like that's not the case at all! Are you so sure that they'll help you? The two of us might not be warriors at the peak, but we're quite highly ranked among above-average warriors. It'll be easy to deal with all of you! Even if all of you attack us, you won't be able to kill us without sacrificing a few of you!"
The man in the blue mask laughed as he said, "Hey, Wellis, do you really think that highly of yourself? Why would they help you? If they help you, they might just end up dying. Are you that close to them?"
Wellis' lips stiffened as he found himself rendered speechless. The two in front of him were despicable, but they were right. He was merely acquaintances with all the others. They were all paying him to lead them into the Evil Plains. It was just a transaction.
If all of them fought against the other two, they would have a great chance of winning, but their side would still have to pay the price. It was possible that someone would die here. These people were no idiots. How could they possibly help him while putting themselves in danger?
However, he did not stand much of a chance if he was alone. Even though he had never offended the other two before, all those warriors at the peak and their subordinates were famed for being ruthless. He would not be spared!
Just thinking about that, Wellis had a bitter smile on his face. He clenched his teeth and said, "If all of you help me, I'll make sure to give you an Evil Badge each after we get out of here. As for your payment, I'll forget about it!"
For his own survival, Wellis was forced to give it all. Any amount of fortunes or treasures was nothing without his life.
Fane raised an eyebrow as he looked at Wellis approvingly. Wellis had made the right choice. When facing danger, one must be willing to give things up!
The man in a blue mask said coldly, "You should all think about it. If you help him, you'll be going against Desmond! Think about his position and the consequences of offending a warrior at the peak."
Everyone suddenly fell silent as they exchanged complicated looks with one another. No one could decide at that moment.
At that moment, someone suddenly said, "You should all think about it. They admitted to who they were right after Wellis identified them. Do you think they're planning on letting any of you off?"
Fane was the one who spoke.
Those words shocked everyone there as Fane's words were right on point. At that moment, their plans had been exposed. Based on how those people did things, they would probably silence all witnesses.
With that in mind, Morul's expression soured. He suddenly felt like a cornered animal as he shouted out, "Will the two of you kill us all?"
The man in the green mask glared at Fane before turning around to shake his head at everyone, "Don't worry, we're only targeting Wellis right now. As long as all of you leave voluntarily, I won't give you any trouble. I can assure all of you that."
As he said that, there was a look of kindness in his eyes as if he was really doing it for everyone's sake and would let everyone go.
The others started to hesitate again when they heard that. Fane laughed as he turned to look at every one. In their hesitant states, Fane suddenly felt like there was no point in having them around.
Wellis' fists tightened, and he was just about to speak when Fane grabbed his shoulder. Wellis suddenly turned to look at Fane with panic in his eyes.
