“Thanks, boss!”

Fang Wen thanked him first before unscrewing the cap and taking a couple of sips.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Tong froze, blankly staring at the Farmer’s Spring water in her hand, then turned to look at the eyes around her that longed for just a sip, suddenly realizing the value of what usually cost just two yuan.

It could make the normally rough and domineering Fang Wen humble and deferential.

Zhao Tong’s gaze shifted to Lin Baici.

Huh?

Have I seen this young man somewhere before?

The time Lin Baici spent in the elevator totaled less than thirty seconds, so Zhao Tong’s recollection wasn’t clear, especially since her targets were the wealthy, not a college student brought to Palm Harbor by a friend to broaden his horizons.

“After you’ve wet your whistle, keep talking!”

Lin Baici urged.

“Oh!”

Zhao Tong continued, but this girl, despite being fairly attractive, was obviously not the brightest, missing the main points as she spoke.

“Boss, the next wave of bird monsters is coming soon.”

Wang Mingfu took out his watch and glanced at it, “The priority now is to finalize the tactic for driving off the birds and protect this game at the smallest cost.”

“No need to finalize, stick to the earlier arrangements, you handle your own side, and I’ll watch over this one!”

Lin Baici didn’t trust Wang Mingfu at all; what he said was very likely a trap.

Wang Mingfu’s face stiffened, but he also understood that the fact Lin let Zhao Tong rather than him explain the situation meant that he was being guarded against.

Damn it!

Being too capable isn’t good either!

Wang Mingfu sighed, “Then we’ll go back and prepare!”

Wang Mingfu dared not stay any longer, lest everyone follow Fang Wen’s lead and defect to the young man, leaving his own side weakened.

“Go ahead!”

Lin Baici had no intention of collaborating with someone cruel enough to use living people as scarecrows, as for Fang Wen.

Naturally, he kept a volunteer thug who came to him.

“Let’s go!”

Wang Mingfu urged, but the people didn’t move, and a few women, after exchanging glances, suddenly rushed over and knelt before Lin Baici.

“Please, let us join your team?”

“I don’t want to die, please save me!”

“Handsome, I’ll give you all my savings, a full 2.6 million yuan, just protect me and help me escape this place, okay?”

Several women pleaded, crying their eyes out.

They were the unlucky ones about to be turned into scarecrows.

Seeing this, Wang Mingfu’s face darkened and he sank into anger, initially wanting to curse and even beat these women to teach them a lesson, but after glancing at Lin Baici, he suppressed the impulse.

Now, he wasn’t the one calling the shots.

“Haha, 2.6 million?

Is that a lot?”

Guo Zheng spit out a mouthful of saliva, amused, “This little money, what do you think you can do with it?

It can’t even buy one of my leg hairs!”

“Aren’t you really going to try some?”

Lin Baici swallowed the last eyeball of the Man-Eating Crow, wondering whether to provoke another wave.

What if I get addicted, what then?

“Scram!”

Guo Zheng cursed loudly, annoyed by the women’s crying and pleading for help.

Damn it!

We’re all God Hunters, so why aren’t you begging me?

Looking down on me, huh?

The women didn’t budge, just stared at Lin Baici, which made Guo Zheng even angrier, and he kicked out.

“Get lost!

Get lost!

Get lost!”

The women were immediately kicked about in disarray.

“Hurry up and go, don’t disturb the boss’s rest here!”

Wang Mingfu seized the opportunity to chase the crowd away.

After exchanging a glance with Wang Mingfu, the Jade Youngster also started mobilizing everyone to get moving.

Bang!

Zhao Tong, kicked by Wang Mingfu, finally came to her senses.

She wanted to run to Lin Baici, but after taking only one step, Wang Mingfu grabbed her arm.

“You dare to run, do you believe I’ll make you into a scarecrow right now?”

Wang Mingfu threatened in a low voice.

Zhao Tong was startled, shrinking away in terror like a quail.

Working in Palm Harbor, she knew how strict Wang Mingfu was and had been scolded by him numerous times.

Hence, instinctively, she cowered.

Wang Mingfu’s arm tightened as he quickly dragged Zhao Tong along, hastening everyone to leave without looking back, fearing the young man might change his mind.

Once they were more than a hundred meters away, certain that the strange trees obstructed their view from each other, Wang Mingfu immediately raised his hand and slapped Zhao Tong across the face twice with force.

Slap!

Slap!

Zhao Tong was utterly stunned by the slaps.

“What, have you all forgotten how you managed to survive before was thanks to me?”

Wang Mingfu roared, “You’ve seen what I’m like.

Have you ever seen what that guy is like?

Besides, if you die, I’ll still give your families two million, a bunch of ungrateful wretches.”

The crowd hung their heads, scolded by Wang Mingfu into submission.

Zhao Tong held her face, which burned with pain, feeling that there was something off about Wang Mingfu’s words, but unable to pinpoint what it was.

“Hurry back.

I reckon after another wave, these bird monsters should stop appearing.

They can’t go on forever.”

Wang Mingfu himself had no idea when the attacks would end, but he had to stabilize these people first.

“Boss Wang!”

The Jade Youngster approached Wang Mingfu, “What are God Hunters?”

“I don’t know!”

Wang Mingfu glanced at the Jade Youngster, then at the rest, “Do you think that guy is a good person?

I’m telling you, he’s a dark-hearted dog.”

“He finds these women a burden and doesn’t really want them, but he won’t say it because rejecting them would reveal his cold-blooded ruthlessness, lowering everyone’s affection and respect for him.”
