Chapter 312: Chapter 221 Terminate the Plan, Leave Parthe Island!_2

"From the moment we landed on Parthi Three Islands, everything deviated from our original plan."

Not a single step went as planned.

Whether it’s Laruo from Three Islands or Lian Nai from Seven Islands now.

There are too many underhanded tricks on Parthe Island; who knows what kind of surprises await us on Thirteen and Four Islands.

Shuangwei wants to back out.

Not because she’s scared, but because the return is not proportional to the investment at all.

How many people have died from the beginning until now?

And what have they gained?

The major gains on Three Islands were taken by Chen Qing, but even if you include Chen Qing’s gains and average them out, their profits were minimal.

This is simply a losing trade.

And obviously, Lian Nai has a scheme in mind.

Are they really going to step right into the trap?

"You want to leave?"

Chen Qing turned to look at Shuangwei, picking up on the implication in her words.

"I agree with her suggestion."

Ming Meng also silently raised her hand. Though it may seem cowardly, it’s better than being calculated against and falling into a trap.

Shuangwei and Ming Meng have been unexpectedly perceptive, sensing the danger all at once.

Indeed, there are traps and schemes waiting for them.

But if they don’t fall for it and escape from here instead, no matter how many schemes Yuan Fei and the others have, it would be useless.

It directly cuts the root of Yuan Fei and the others’ plans.

Very direct and crude, but also the most effective.

Right now, Shuangwei and Ming Meng’s biggest worry is that Chen Qing and Fei Huo won’t agree. After all, leaving halfway would look pretty disgraceful.

It’s somewhat embarrassing.

They don’t care, but smart people like Fei Huo and Chen Qing seem to care more about their reputation.

"I agree."

Unexpectedly, the first to agree was Chen Qing. She answered calmly.

Such a method might seem cowardly, shameful, and useless, but it’s the most effective.

What she needs to focus on now is developing her own armed forces. There’s no time to waste here. If you know it’s a trap, why step into it?

Are you asking for trouble?

To demonstrate your intelligence and strength by defeating the unseen mastermind’s schemes?

That would be the most foolish approach.

They are not heroes saving the world.

"Wait a minute."

Ma Xiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly looked in a specific direction—the direction where the survivor Cong Ze was hiding.

In an instant, Ma Xiu disappeared from his spot, and the next second, he appeared holding Cong Ze’s head.

He killed Cong Ze in just one encounter, without Cong Ze putting up any resistance at all.

This is the true strength that Shuangwei and others of their level as Hunters should possess, not like those worthless seniors before.

"I also agree with Shuangwei’s point of view. We can always plunder merchant ships if need be."

Ma Xiu’s expression was gloomy. He hated those who schemed from the shadows, acting as if they were the smartest in the world.

His implication was, if worse comes to worst, they could always turn to piracy.

What’s owed to the merchants can be taken from the merchants.

Chen Qing glanced at Cong Ze’s body. He seemed to be a survivor; she had some memory of him, but not much, not even remembering his name.

She would have to get someone to find out more.

The only one with an opposing opinion on the scene was Annie, but no one listened to him.

Annie, that guy, also seems a bit weird.

Fei Huo had not voiced an opinion the whole time, remaining silent.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing her dearest companion a bit troubled, Shuangwei asked softly.

"If you want to continue with this plan, I will definitely support you."

Shuangwei will always stand by Fei Huo’s side, just as Fei Huo will always support her.

"No, it’s not that."

Fei Huo shook her head, her brows furrowed tightly, a flicker of unusual emotion in her eyes.

"I suspect..."

She hesitated, unsure if her intuition was correct.

"Suspect what?"

Ming Meng pressed for an answer, intuition may be intangible, but for them, it’s often the most reliable thing. Intuition often helps them avoid a lot of dangers.

"Yuan Fei might be here."

Fei Huo’s expression was serious. The rumors out there weren’t entirely baseless—Fei Huo and Yuan Fei did share a certain connection.

However, their relationship isn’t good. If Fei Huo had the chance, she would definitely kill Yuan Fei.

"..."

Upon hearing Fei Huo’s suspicion, everyone’s faces darkened and they left without hesitation.

Shuangwei didn’t forget to pull Chen Qing along, which showed she had some conscience.

"?"

Chen Qing had heard of Yuan Fei’s reputation and had even interacted with her.

But why would this be their reaction?
