“Then why did you save her?”

Elise Clark was very puzzled by this.

She couldn’t understand Link Grande’s line of thinking.

If he already had suspicions, why did he bother to save a suspicious person?

“To confirm some suspicions.”

Link casually brought it up but didn’t delve into it.

Once he knew of the existence of the “Sea Sail Alliance” and that a significant portion of the Southern Region Storm Sea New Blood were obsequious towards local apprentices in North District,

he realized that even those in the top 30 weren’t necessarily self-reliant.

Not in absolute terms, but Link was at least 80% certain that among the other

28 people, some would secretly communicate with and even act as spies for local apprentices in the North District.

Andriya Norman’s hasty action of eating a fruit seemed profoundly unintelligent.

Would someone capable of ranking within the top 30 do such a thing, if they had any brains to speak of?

There clearly were other reasons.

This gave Link the faint impression that Andriya Norman wanted to deliberately be eliminated.

The changes in Andriya Norman’s expression and tone after she woke up fully confirmed Link’s suspicion.

She was definitely hiding something.

If so, surely Link couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless and manipulative, setting a trap with a person who still seemed to have some conscience left.

They were greatly outnumbered and vastly outmatched.

If he weren’t to use some trickery, Link didn’t believe his side stood much chance of winning.

Moreover, the enemy had already expressed a murderous intent. In a fight to the death, how could they afford to be soft-hearted?

They walked in silence for a while, ensured that their figures had completely disappeared from the scouting range of Dalton Collen’s group of four.

Link immediately sprang into action.

“Keep up.”

With a shout, he swiftly entered a hollow in the mountains chosen beforehand by the Flying Sphere, dashing into a cave to hide their whereabouts.

Four Scouting Puppets were arranged around the hollow to keep an eye out.

The Flying Sphere and Elise Clark’s Bionic Eagle were both sent out.

One monitored Dalton Collen’s group of four, while the other patrolled the surrounding area, checking for anything unusual or if any strangers were approaching.

Along the way, Elise Clark initially intended to urge Link Grande to tell her what suspicion he wanted to confirm.

But once Link Grande abruptly changed course to hide their tracks, Elise Clark immediately realized what he was trying to confirm.

Thus, she kept her mouth shut, fully cooperating throughout, doing whatever was asked of her.

The look in her eyes and the expression on her face conveyed a deep sense of surprise and anticipation.

So, this was the game they were playing!

“Interesting!”

“This is so interesting!”

“Hove it!”

“Hehehe…”

Inside the cave, Elise Clark was multitasking.

While fiddling around in her mini bag, looking for “toys” that might come in handy later, she was watching Dalton Collen’s group of four on her smart screen, laughing like a lunatic.

She even split the screen in two, one half showing the whereabouts of the four men, the other half zoomed in, focusing on Andriya Norman’s every move.

Link was also watching the surveillance and preparing, silent.

Silently waiting.

It wasn’t just Link Grande and Elise Clark who were waiting.

Many people were waiting.

Jasmine Kidman was waiting.

She didn’t know whether she was lucky or unlucky.

If you said it was bad luck, she was randomly transported to a very safe place, the mini bag with the wristwatch and mission list was right at her feet.

After learning about the main mission and side missions and just as she was about to put on the wristwatch,

Link immediately sent her a reminder and a request to bind each other s watches.

This made Jasmine very happy.

This meant that that bastard Link Grande still cared about her. 𝚏𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝚋n𝐨𝘃𝗲l.𝐜𝐨m

After reporting her real situation and providing her location, Jasmine felt somewhat relieved.

Even though she had started to gradually try to be independent and firm her own views in the previous two months,

Being thrown into this strange world alone, her instinct was to seek support.

She knew this habit wasn’t good, she wanted to change it but hadn’t yet been able to.

She would need to try harder in the future.

jasmine stuck out her tongue playfully, feeling a little embarrassed by her self- deceptive thoughts.

If you said it was good luck, she was stuck on this sandbar in the middle of the river as soon as she landed.

The river water rushed and raged, the current was swift.

The width of the river was vast, spanning over two thousand meters, stretching on endlessly.

There was only a patch of “reeds” growing on the sandbar, not even a single shrub, let alone tall, straight trees.

Aiming to cut wood to build a boat to cross the river?

There were no suitable conditions for that!

Swimming?

Crossing the river?

If there are beast on land, doesn’t it mean that there are brutal creatures in the water too?

Jasmine had tried it at first.

As soon as she got into the water, before she could swim out 30 meters, she was sensed by a group of aquatic beasts that looked like crocodiles but were several times larger and were forced back to the sandbar.

With the dividends from the Silver Star Flower Hybrid Cultivation and Glasswort Series, along with the trickle of awards given by the Serene Wizard, Jasmine Kidman also upgraded her equipment.

Mirroring Link, Jasmine wore the “Defender 3202” suit, purchased two reconnaissance puppets, and carried a certain number of various models of Self-Destructing Fire Thunder.

You could say she was armed to the teeth.

However, Jasmine still had no way of dealing with the river’s brutal creatures and the wide river.

The aquatic creatures’ teeth were sharp, their tails flexible and strong, their skin tough and their flesh thick, capable of both attack and defence.

Even though the “Defender 3202” suit could withstand the bite, attack and whip of the aquatic creatures, Jasmine’s body could not continuously withstand their impact and pressure.

What?

You say Iron Man, a mortal being, is on par with the gods?
