Chapter 297: That’s enough
They were here on a mission and if there was loot that was wasted, this was not something that could accept that easily.
If there was loot that they could have gotten, but was burnt because of one person's pride, then they had to address this.
So everyone stared at Lin Fan's group and waited for an explanation.
When I heard this, I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows.
I could also see the way that the others were looking at us, so I could guess what they were thinking.
In the end, it seemed like this person had found a straw to grasp at and hung on firmly.
After seeing everyone's reaction, that person said, "I saw it all. They were scouting out the camp and had plenty of time to call for backup, yet they didn't do that. They just went ahead with their destructive burning the camp plan instead of coming to get help."
I couldn't help deeply knitting my brows when I heard this.
It wasn't because of what he said, but because of the fact that he had revealed.
He had been following and watching over us the entire time…
I couldn't help looking at Rupert who was still in the camp, but it seemed like he didn't know anything about it based on the look on his face.
So why did this person follow us?
I couldn't recognize this person's face at all, so I had no idea who this person was.
Since I didn't recognize this person, I had no idea if there was a grudge between us or not.
If there was a grudge, then there was a reason why he would be following us.
But if there wasn't a grudge, just why was he doing all of this?
Slowly, the Awakeners of the first dungeon raid team started to stir.
They moved forward as if they were going to surround us, but they stopped before they came too close.
However, with the way that they were standing, they were still close enough that we wouldn't be able to leave if we wanted to.
It seemed that they really wanted an answer to this question.
I calmly looked at them and said, "We found a kobold camp and we took care of it. Is there anything else that needs to be said?"
When they heard this, the Awakeners couldn't help knitting their brows.
The person who accused us revealed a wide smile when he heard this and said, "Yes, but you could have come back to report it and requested backup. But instead, you burned all of the kobolds and ruined all of the materials that could have been gathered. This is a waste of resources."
I looked right at him and said, "Then can you guarantee how many kobolds were in the camp? We had no idea what the enemy we were facing was like, so we chose to take quick action before they left."
"They were in a camp, how could they have left?" That person argued back.
"Can you guarantee that?" I said with a cold look on my face.
This time, they didn't argue back because they couldn't argue back.
No one could guarantee what the monsters would do in situations like this, so it was perfectly normal to do something like this.
But they had already been stirred up by that person, so it wasn't as if they could back down now.
One of the Awakeners was about to step forward to say something.
But before they could, Rupert suddenly gave a cough and said, "Are you done yet? Have you not had enough?"
Everyone was surprised to hear him suddenly speaking up like this.
Rupert narrowed his eyes to look at the person who accused us and said, "They did what they should have done in that situation. They were without any information on the camp and there was no guarantee that the monsters would stay, so they were within their rights to do this."
Rupert turned to the other Awakeners and said, "Don't forget where we are right now. This isn't the dungeon, this is the break zone."
When they heard this, the Awakeners couldn't help revealing awkward looks.
They had their greed stirred by that person and had forgotten themselves.
Rupert was right, this was the break zone and not the dungeon.
In the dungeon, they would work together, so anyone that didn't report these matters was in the wrong.
But in the break zone, they were supposed to work in separate groups.
So it was well within Lin Fan's group's right to do something like this.
In fact, it wouldn't even be wrong if they didn't bring anything back since this was just how it was sometimes.
They had gone too far in this matter and it was their fault…
But they couldn't just apologize to the new member of the team, especially one that everyone was angry with for causing them to come to this break zone.
So the ones that came forward to surround Lin Fan's group just gave snorts before turning around to leave.
The person who instigated it was left standing there alone to face Lin Fan's group.
He had a look of shock and dismay on his face, but he didn't dare push the matter and turned to leave.
But before he could, he suddenly heard a low voice coming from behind him.
"That's enough. Don't take this too far or else."
Chapter Enjoy:
He felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't turn back as he walked off.
Rupert watched him walk away before giving a sigh.
When he turned back to us, he said, "Sorry about that. It seems like they've taken rookie hazing a bit too far. I'm sure that they'll calm down now."
I gave a nod, but there was doubt in my eyes as I looked in the direction that person headed off in.
Rupert could see this, so he gave another sigh and said, "He has his own circumstances, I hope you'll forgive him."
I looked at Rupert for a bit before slowly giving a nod.
Though I remembered what that person looked like just in case.
It didn't seem like he would give up…
…
In a corner of the camp, the person that had accused Lin Fan's group was standing there with a locket in his hand.
In that locket…was a picture of Bing Xin.
He leaned in over that locket and stroked it gently as he said, "Soon, we'll be together soon."
His eyes quickly turned cold as he said, "I'll take care of the ones that are getting in our way."
