If they had lost contact with Florian as well, then the situation would be incredibly bad. It proved what Guardio had
said before.
Compared to how panicked Jake was feeling, Guardio was much calmer. He had already guessed that it was
possible, so he was still calm.
It was because he had already expected it when he tried to stop Florian, but Florian refused to listen. As time
passed, Jake got more and more nervous. He could not even remain seated.
He stood up from the mat and paced around anxiously.
After another ten minutes, there was still no news.
Then Jake, who was in complete panic, looked at Guardio said, “You were right, there really is an unknown variable
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtamong the warriors from the third-grade worlds. There’s someone who we didn’t account for among them, and
he’s our biggest threat!”
“Even Florian fell to him! Who is that person?! I have an even more depressing thought. What if it’s not just one
person, but two or three of them?!”
Guardio shook his head and said, “No need to panic. There should only be one person. If there were two or three,
then we wouldn’t be sitting here so safely right now. They should already be here!”
Jake looked at Guardio with some surprise, “How are you so sure?”
Guardio shook his head, “Manson isn’t an idiot. Even though he doesn’t know much, Manson should still know our
names and our backgrounds. He should have spat everything out after being tortured a little…”
“It’s precise because he revealed everything that Florian received in that message! Since they already know
everything, but never changed their plans, it means that they don’t have the confidence to beat all of us. They
might not even have the courage to appear in front of us. So, I’m guessing that there shouldn’t be that many!
There should only be one!”
Jake felt like Guardio’s analysis was reasonable. Before that, he even felt like Guardio was being too careful, just like
Florian did. He finally understood that he and Florian had been the impulsive ones.
They were not just impulsive, but stupid. They fell for their opponent’s plan, and Florian was done for. They had
basically lost an arm, and the situation would only get worse.
Jake started to panic.
He walked around in circles as he started to say anxiously, “What do we do next? We can’t just let them strike at us!
We need to figure out a way. We can’t lose any more men!”
Guardio took a deep breath as his eyes flashed helplessly, “We have to make plans for the worst case scenario. The
hunters have become the hunted. If we keep insisting on following our earlier plans, then we’ll have to pay a painful
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprice.”
Jake frowned and said, “what do you mean? The worst case scenario? Don’t scare me…”
Guardio shook his head as he said slowly, “The worst-case scenario is us killing off these warriors from third-grade
worlds. After all, there’s only one way to leave this place. Once a hundred people have been shaved off, we’ll be
able to leave this place since the game will end. However, we’ll have to bear with their anger after we’re out. It’s
still better than dying.”
The moment he said that Jake looked like he had been slapped a few times, “You’re saying that we have to end the
game to save ourselves?!”
Guardio nodded helplessly. Jake looked incredibly deflated as he sat back down on the mat.
His lips trembled as he said, “How could this be? I don’t want to! I want to meet him! Whether it’s just one person or
two, we should still see who that person is!”
