No!

She’s making these efforts, not necessarily to team up with Link, but just to show Wizard Palo.

If the gamble fails, she won’t be the one to blame.

“Taylor…”

Isko couldn’t understand and wanted to say something more.

Lanny Taylor gave him a glance, immediately stopping him from talking.

The other two New Blood members had almost completely accepted Lanny’s leadership, saying nothing and having no opinions of their own.

Link thought carefully and felt that teaming up with Lanny had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that whether it was Lanny or Isko, or even the two silent New Blood members, they were all top individuals from the Southern Region Storm Sea New Blood.

If he could unite them and use them well, it could be a great help.

The disadvantage was that it would be difficult to completely unite their intentions.

Isko had already clearly shown his unwillingness to accept Link’s leadership and commands, and the two silent New Blood members clearly only obeyed Lanny’s orders.

If there were any disagreements, Lanny’s opinions could not only fail to help, but could become an obstacle.

If that were the case, it would be better not to form a team at all.

Taking everything into consideration, Link was more inclined not to form a team.

However, he was not a dictator and still wanted to hear his companion’s opinions.

“Could you excuse us for a while? We need to discuss.”

Link spoke frankly to Lanny Taylor.

“Okay.”

Lanny agreed and not only moved away herself, but also took the visibly reluctant Isko with her.

“What do you guys think? Should we form a team?”

Link looked at Elise, Buck, Ezio, Linn, and the usually inconspicuous Dalton, seeking their opinions.

“I don’t care, I’m fine either way. I’ll listen to the boss.”

Dalton spoke very actively. Although his words didn’t contribute much, they did express his loyalty. 𝐟reew𝗲b𝐧𝚘𝐯𝐞l.c𝚘m

Buck and Ezio very coordinatedly turned their heads to look at Linn, their strategist.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Linn’s face went slightly off-color, “Look at the boss. Whatever the boss says, goes.”

The more one thinks, the more they worry.

Linn didn’t want the boss to misunderstand that he was conspiring to form a small group.

If the boss really misunderstood, he wouldn’t have a chance to explain himself. Link chuckled, not taking this little episode to heart.

A great man once said, general ideas should be free and independent; within a party, different styles can thrive.

They should allow others to have their own thoughts.

However, in major matters, it is necessary to unify their thinking in advance.

Once their thinking is unified, they can’t easily change it, or it will collapse. “What about you, Elise? What do you think?”

Seeing that four out of his five companions were behaving evasively and didn’t want to think, Link turned to Elise Clark, who had been playing with her fingers.

She was the one with the most unique position in the small team.

Her opinion should be thoroughly sought and respected.

“Me?”

Elise blinked her big eyes, showing a cute, innocent expression like a little white rabbit, “Wow, you’re asking me!”

Apparently surprised, Elise paused for a moment before stating her opinion: “Green Pond doesn’t seem like a good person. She’s too cunning. I think we should just blow her up to end it!”

What a severe case of split personality.

She used the cutest expression and tone to say the most violent words.

However, Link understood Elise’s meaning.

He didn’t intentionally go to Lanny Taylor, just gestured apologetically from a distance.

In fact, he didn’t regret it at all.

Link himself didn’t want to team up with Lanny either.

He wasn’t afraid of reckless opponents, but he feared those who were cunning and deeply calculated.

Playing mind games, what a drag!

Lanny Taylor didn’t persist, she just watched as Link and his party left.

“Where should we go next?”

Isko let out a sigh of relief, then quickly tried to distract Lanny.

She had been staring at the figure of Link Grande all along.

“Follow them.”

Lanny glanced at Isko, she saw through his thoughts completely, but she didn’t show it on her face and merely gave a simple command.

Isko’s face immediately froze.

By her logic, they refused to team up and yet she still insists on following?

What the hell is this about?

Earlier, Isko was strongly against forming a team, worrying that Lanny’s attention would be drawn to Link Grande.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had to recognize that the gap between him and Link showed not only in their exam rankings.

It also reflected in their overall performance, such as academic research and decisive killing.

After finally ruining the team-up plan, they were now going to follow them?

This was even worse than teaming up.

Isko was frustrated, but in the end, he reluctantly followed Lanny’s footsteps. “Boss, they’re following us. What should we do? Should we get rid of them?” After carefully studying the real-time reconnaissance imagery and confirming the situation, Dalton reported.

As the team grew, it was natural to further clarify the division of responsibilities.

Otherwise, everything would be a mess, like a mob, completely losing the essence and true understanding of a team.

Buck and Ezio were clearing the path ahead; Linn, being meticulous, was in the rear, simultaneously in charge of the four Scouting Puppets, alert on both sides;

Dalton operated the flying sphere, conducting real-time reconnaissance all around to capture any anomalies.

As for the Bionic Eagle, it was Elise’s personal property, and Link gave it no thought.

The highest combat powers, Link and Elise, were naturally responsible for fighting and also conveniently collecting samples and making specimens for side missions.

In response to Dalton’s report, Link decisively replied: “Just ignore them; we keep moving forward.”
