Chapter 1432: Chapter 690: Dissolution and Joining_3

The team leader naturally did not want Yenia to leave. Their temporarily formed squad had unearthed six mammoth ivories, four of which were discovered by Yenia.

However, Yenia used to dig soil, and now digging for ivory, she didn’t quite understand some of the rules, which allowed the others to take advantage of her.

Originally, she could have dug on her own, but being used to cooperation in digging soil, she called others over as soon as she found something, and thus, the ivory was shared.

This last time, Yenia had learned the rules, but unexpectedly, she encountered the patrol.

That turned out to be quite a loss.

"But I heard from Victor that the money has already been deposited," Yenia said expressionlessly.

The team leader stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Yenia, asking,

"You’re really quitting?"

"I’m quitting, I’m tired," said Yenia, her voice revealing exhaustion. "I’m a woman and have been doing this for so many days, I’ve had enough."

"Alright." The team leader took off his gloves, pulled a package out of his chest, extracted a stack of money from it, counted it, and handed it to Yenia:

"This is five thousand US dollars..."

"I should get ten thousand!" Yenia didn’t expect the team leader to withhold money at this time.

"Only part of the money has come back, not all of it," said the team leader, his voice unfluctuating, "I’ll transfer the rest once it’s fully returned. Leave me an address or account number."

Yenia almost bit through her lip.

They themselves were a temporary team, and trust among them was very fragile.

But being a woman, Yenia had no choice but to follow the team here.

Otherwise, she might even be killed in her sleep at midnight.

Now that she was being bullied, what could she do?

Yenia snatched the stack of bills harshly and turned away.

The team leader’s mouth curled into a mocking smile as he continued his work.

Watching Yenia from a distance, Victor came up to her when she approached and said,

"How about it? We cooperate, split it sixty-forty, I take sixty, you take forty..."

"I’m leaving," Yenia left behind these words and hurried toward the campground.

She wanted to get to the nearest highway before nightfall. Only there would she be able to flag down a car to Viola’s location.

Otherwise, she would have to walk there.

Watching Yenia leave, Victor fell silent for a while, then walked over to the team leader.

"Boss, just let her go like that?"

"She can’t leave," the team leader said confidently, "The closest road out of here is over twenty kilometers away. She’s just acting on a whim right now. Once she realizes that even if she wants to leave, it’s dangerous, she’ll come back."

Victor nodded.

Yenia slung a big bag on her back and at the campground, she hid the money inside her clothes and just walked away.

She had arrived by car with others, but now that she wanted to leave, she definitely couldn’t drive the car away.

Now Yenia only felt regret, regret for joining this team.

She walked while making a phone call to Viola.

"You’re coming over?" Viola was a bit surprised.

Yenia walked out of the campground and followed a path trodden by off-road vehicles while talking about her ordeal.

Viola was in a difficult position, she couldn’t call the shots here.

"Tell that Chinese rich person that if I stay with you and we find a mammoth ivory, I only want half its value! The same goes for rhino horns! Believe in my ability, I found most of the ivory in our team!"

Yenia learned that as soon as Viola and the others arrived, they found a woolly rhino, which confirmed that such resources truly existed there.

So, if she went on her own, even if she only took half, she would still earn more than by staying with this team!

Viola said with difficulty,

"I need to ask."

"Alright, go ahead and ask." Yenia had made up her mind. Even if those people were unwilling, she would not stay here. She would go and search nearby on her own so that if there were any danger, she could call for help.

After a short while, Viola called back—when Yenia answered, she was still somewhat nervous.

"Sean Knight says welcome aboard!" Viola spoke cheerfully, "He’s asking how you will come over."

"I will walk there... walk to the highway and hitch a ride." Yenia felt a surge of excitement, "If I get a ride, I should be able to reach your place by nightfall."

Viola was taken aback upon hearing this and asked instinctively,

"You don’t have a car? I remember when you were in our small town, you had a car, right?"

"At that time... the car belonged to the team. Our team leader stepped on landmines by mistake and was blown up. The team disbanded as well." Yenia smiled bitterly.

If her former team hadn’t disbanded, why would she have come here?

"Then wait a second..." Viola covered the phone and relayed the situation to Sean Knight.

"Tell her to give us a location. We’ll send a car to pick her up." Sean Knight turned his head and said to Elijah Hastings,

"Send two people and take Viola to pick up that Yenia."

Just now, as soon as Viola mentioned it, both Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings agreed.

An experienced hand was naturally much easier to work with than a newcomer.

They had encountered a woolly rhino upon their arrival and, with the aid of extraordinary abilities, Sean Knight felt it was more down to luck.

So, now that an experienced hand was joining, they naturally welcomed her with open arms!

Elijah Hastings immediately assigned two team members to drive.

Viola blew a kiss to Sean Knight, then followed the edge of their camp and started walking while saying to Yenia,

"Tell me your location and how to get there. I’ll bring the car to pick you up!"

This gesture genuinely moved Yenia.

Considering the treatment offered by these people...

And then recalling the treatment she had previously suffered, Yenia almost wanted to cry!

"I’ll send the location to your mobile phone," Yenia felt a surge of strength fill her body at this moment. The five thousand US dollars that had been extorted from her didn’t seem all that important anymore.

Viola ended the call and arrived at the campground, watching the two team members grabbing their guns and getting into the car.

Viola took her seat in the passenger seat and started giving directions to the location marked by Yenia.

The off-road vehicle spewed a plume of black smoke and shot off.

Sean Knight and his team had removed the woolly rhino’s head along with its horn, then buried the hollow place again before returning to the campground.

At this time, Yenia was still trudging along the road, alternating between deep and shallow steps.

Knowing that someone was coming to pick her up, she wasn’t so scared anymore.

To save the battery on her phone, she hung up and decided to wait until Viola was nearby to call again.

Not knowing how long she had walked, Yenia suddenly heard a beast’s roar!

"Hm—hm—hm!"

An ox!
