God of Tricksters

Chapter 1100 Fight Back

Chapter 1100 Fight Back

As expected, now that the time had come close to the end, the shore started getting crowded with people.

"How many herbs do you get from this island?"

"I'm not very sure. I think my group can get around a few billion just from this. It's truly a blessing."

"Hmph. Your group seems to be not that good."

The people were talking to each other. As much as they wanted to steal from others, they would become the public enemy if they did it. Hence, they could only brag or stay silent while waiting for the rest.

The entire community had agreed to return together due to the danger from the sea. Although they wouldn't meet the octopus again, the sea monsters wouldn't leave them alone.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared in the middle of them. Seeing their entrance alone was enough to know the identity of this group.

This group consisted of six people. And each of them was more famous than the other. After all, five out of these six people were among the top ten experts on the list.

"Look at them!"

"What? Since when did they team up?"

"How come this is the first time I've heard about them being good friends?"

"I thought they hated each other."

"Call it competitive."

"Five top ten experts in the list…"

That was right. The group consisted of Winston, Lexie, Paula, and the military brothers. They seemed to have teamed up when exploring this island.

Obviously, Winston's change would be one of the reasons for this team to possibly happen. Lexie also made a huge contribution to the creation of the team.

Their loot was inside two giant backpacks. As soon as they arrived on the beach, Lexie looked at the others and politely said, "Thank you for your cooperation. We'll take everything back first and split it evenly. We should be able to get ten billion Zils each."

"Alright. You're better than us in this, so I'll leave it to you." Paula nodded and planned to step away to return to her previous group.

However, she stopped in her tracks when she felt a powerful presence coming to the shore, followed by cheerful yet familiar laughter.

"Hahaha. We've finally come out! The seawater has risen quite high. In less than two hours, the island should be sinking."

Everyone turned around, finding the other famous group that could rival Winston's group.

And the loud man was none other than Isaac.

Their eyes soon intertwined with Winston's group as Isaac's smile became even bigger.

"Oh! It's Winston and the others. How are you folks?!" Isaac casually greeted him, but the cheerful tone was the opposite of their relationship, making the greeting look like a mockery.

Winston's eyes were focused on Theo as he had always seen this man every time he practiced.

"Well, Isaac. I thought you'd died after going alone previously. It's truly surprising that you could come out unscathed against that octopus." Lexie narrowed her eyes, pressing the matter. "It seems you have a way to escape from the octopus safely. If you actually gave that secret to others, hundreds of people didn't need to die."

When they heard Lexie's words, the people around them started whispering among themselves.

They still remembered how Winston actually fought the octopus bravely. Although he couldn't even deal any damage to the octopus, he helped as many people as possible to reach the island by stalling the octopus. That was one of the biggest reasons why Paula and the military brothers decided to join Winston during this mission.

"That's right. If we actually knew that, we didn't need to fight that octopus. Our brothers and sisters didn't need to die."

"The reason they went first was because they knew how to sneak in. It's not fair. No one deserves to die."

"That's right. They're not humans. To think they would hide it even though we have agreed with the alliance."

With just one sentence, Lexie managed to turn everyone's opinion against Theo's group. Of course, the big part came from Winston's actions. Since she had this kind of resources, she was planning to fulfill Winston's condition.

By manipulating their opinions against Theo's group, she could make Winston a similar 'hero' as Theo.

"…" Theo's expression darkened as he realized what she was planning to do.

"Hmph! You're going to use the good person card?" Isaac snorted, looking down on everyone. He was really pissed when recalling the promise. Theo didn't want anyone to know they had saved the island from sinking. So, he couldn't fight back against this argument.

And even if he said it, not many would believe it.

The crowds' voices gradually increased, mocking Theo's group for their selfishness.

Isaac gritted his teeth and glanced at Theo as if asking him to step up to handle them. After all, Theo usually had a way to do it.

"Haha!" Maya laughed before glancing at Winston. "This is truly hilarious."

"Maya!" Lexie glared at her while saying, "You should know that we're talking about people's lives… hundred of lives."

Theo suddenly raised his hand, stopping all of them from talking. After that, he walked toward Winston slowly, creating suspense.

Every step he took felt heavy, and the atmosphere became even more serene. When he finally reached Winston, everyone was wondering what he was going to say.

Would Theo give the answer? If that happened, it could be counted as a small victory. If Theo threatened Winston, he would look like an oppressor.

Lexie simply couldn't see any way to go against this argument since everyone would look down on Theo whatever he said.

However, Theo's statement blew their minds as he shook his head helplessly, disappointed in Winston.

"You want the secret, Winston?" Theo asked with a calm tone.

Winston furrowed his eyebrows, wondering how he should answer this. He had entrusted Lexie with this task, so he wanted to ask Lexie's opinion before giving the answer.

As if understanding her role, Lexie already replied. "Of course. This involves hundreds of people's lives. And if we talk about the future, there will be many more lives that can be saved."

Theo glanced at Lexie before sighing. "Sure. Let's fight right now. If you can stop my attack, I will tell you about it. Since you want to be a hero, you should be prepared to fight for the masses, right? What is your name again? Flexi?"
