"Damn it! This damn production team! I knew it! How could some yellow-skinned kid who hasn't received any training have such strong counter-surveillance skills!"
Sampem was indignant, but seemed to find a sliver of solace in his heart.
Just as he was about to blame the production team for his group's failure, Liu Sisi's next words brought him back to reality.
"Actually, your ambush that day had little to do with the program's notification."
"What!?"
"Hmph, your brother Simond is terrible at hiding his true intentions."
After Ye Feng discovered them, before he even used any tricks, he told them everything about their ambush, including its exact location.
Based on my understanding of Ye Feng, even without that notification text message, you would still lose.
He is a man who acts with a mixture of caution and cunning, and with a touch of treachery and slyness.
In addition to being extremely creative, they also possess exceptionally high intelligence, quick thinking, and mental fortitude.
"Look, even elite special forces soldiers lose this badly."
Liu Sisi pouted, and Cairnster, remembering his dead comrades, clenched his fists again.
These words hit him right where it hurt, so he had to quickly change the subject.
"Alright, stop interrupting, continue."
"Your deaths will do me no good. On the contrary, I will be forced to stay in Ye Feng's team and have him protect me until the end."
Although he is very strong and intelligent, I really don't want to stay in this endless rainforest any longer.
"I've never been on his side, and the production team is well aware of that."
As she said this, a hint of reluctance and sadness flashed in Liu Sisi's eyes, but it was only for a moment before her gaze turned cold again.
"To be honest, I quite like Ye Feng. He's smart, sentimental, and loyal to his brothers."
Without him, I would have died somewhere long ago.
If killing you all would win me a big prize, I would never have come here today.
But that's all in the future...
He has done me a lot of kindness, and I can't bring myself to do it.
Three days from now, at noon, I will drug them and knock them out. Then I'll leave them to you.
After it's done, I want 5 million.
"Mr. Cairns, you must also want to kill him with your own hands, right?"
Cairnster's serious expression immediately turned into a sneer.
He didn't just want to; he practically wanted to tear Ye Feng to pieces.
The humiliation and frustration inflicted on him by the other party could probably only be offset by paying with his life.
Now, it would be too difficult and dangerous for him to take revenge on his own.
This would be an easy opportunity for him to take revenge, a golden chance he had no reason to refuse.
Cairnster slowly walked forward and extended his hand to Liu Sisi.
“Miss Fitz, I accept your cooperation. Do you need me to help you find the medicine? I know quite a bit about this.”
"No."
Liu Sisi shook her head and slowly took a wooden jar out of her pocket.
Then pour some powder out and put it in your palm.
"This is a black mushroom, also called black boletus. I secretly dried it and ground it into powder."
"If you eat it, you'll suffer from neurotoxicity. You'll experience dizziness, blurred vision, and general weakness. You won't even be able to hold a knife."
Cairnster looked at the black, powdery granules. He had encountered this stuff during his first wilderness survival experience, so he was quite familiar with it.
He brought it close to his nose, sniffed it gently, and nodded in satisfaction.
"As expected of being ranked eighth, Miss Fitz, this is indeed very convenient, a brilliant idea."
Liu Sisi lowered her eyebrows slightly, her expression revealing obvious sadness.
"He taught me this trick... Hmph, how ironic that I'm betraying him for money..."
"Eh~"
Cairnster gently patted his shoulder…
"Isn't there an old Chinese saying? 'If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth.'"
Liu Sisi remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded with a helpless, bitter smile.
After discussing the details for a while, Liu Sisi left.
She sneaked out while Ye Feng and the others were sleeping, so she had to go back before they woke up, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
The three of them personally escorted him down the mountain. Their chance to turn the tables on Ye Feng depended entirely on this frail woman.
Watching her receding figure, Pera couldn't help but ask:
"Kane, do you think she can be trusted? What if she's lying to us?"
Cairnster shook his head.
"Pera, you still underestimate human nature and the allure of over 40 million dollars."
If she really was lying to us, her acting was just too good.
If they wanted to kill us, why didn't they just tell Ye Feng the location of our camp?
Wouldn't that be simpler?
The two men agreed that this made sense and both revealed sinister smiles.
Ye Feng might be able to handle external attacks, but a betrayal from within, especially one involving poisoning…
That's probably impossible to guard against...
Meanwhile, inside the Merrick Triangle Building—
Makuko was leisurely soaking his feet in his office. These days, in order to keep track of Ye Feng and the others' activities, he had even been living in his office.
He had been in the office all day preparing for today's big battle.
In fact, although he had expected Ye Feng's victory, he was still surprised.
Keep in mind, the opponent is the battle-hardened Cairnster.
I thought that even if Ye Feng won, he would definitely lose some of his men.
But unexpectedly, thanks to their ingenious ambush, they managed to take down their opponent without taking any damage.
This young Chinese boy always manages to bring him unexpected surprises.
"Knock knock knock..."
A knock sounded on the door…
"Come in."
Ugly Emperor walked into the office carrying a folder.
The paint on his face had faded a bit, and he looked much more tired.
These days, Makuko has had him personally keep an eye on Ye Feng and his group's movements.
After all, this battle was considered by them to be the pinnacle of viewership ratings, and they had to follow it personally.
So that when it is broadcast later, every exciting shot can be cut out.
"Sir, things are basically settled with Ugly Duke. However, it seems that the six people you booked are not very willing to participate."
As he spoke, he handed the folder over.
Makuko wiped his feet on his trousers, placed them on either side of the basin, took a look, and smiled disdainfully…
"Hmph... mercenaries, of course they only care about money."
If they don't agree, it just means the money they offered wasn't enough.
Instruct the finance department to allocate another 10 million to Chou Jue.
"If you want to make big money, don't be greedy for small gains. I must get these six people."
"yes."
The Ugly Emperor slowly withdrew from the office.
Makuko, however, was still looking at the document, his experienced eyes always revealing the shrewdness of a businessman.
He unconsciously lit a cigar, his already graying eyebrows furrowing slightly, as if he were pondering a difficult decision.
A moment later, he leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling, exhaled a puff of smoke, and muttered something under his breath…
"Battle Royale...this idea should be able to make money..."
