We fought here for half a day, only to have someone swoop in at the end like a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
The young man leaning against the tree heard this and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Who says the strongest is guaranteed to laugh till the end? The strongest might be the very first to get eliminated."
"Hm?"
"Wanna work together? My goal has never been to come in first—just want a spot to enter the warehouse, that's all."
"What did you mean by what you just said?" The guy hit by lightning looked uneasy, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"Minister Cai said, to get the target item, only the first three people to step into the doors of the Yu State Scorching Sun Department count as winners.
If you don't get the item, even if you're the first to return to the Yu State Scorching Sun Department, it doesn't count for anything.
We can work together—let's eliminate the strongest ones first, what do you think?"
