As soon as she finished speaking, an eerie silence spread all over the gas station. Though Bai iyue sensed the change, she still pretended to be dumb and asked, "What? Don’t tell that you just wanted to thank us verbally. We put our lives at risk to save yours. This is what we deserve."
Xiao Guan was left stunned when he heard Bai iyue’s words but he blinked his eyes and recovered quite quickly before saying to her, "Then can you give a few minutes? I need to discuss this matter with my team." Though he was the team leader, most of the supplies were with Hu Ajing and the two won who ca with her.
"You can," Bai iyue sneered. "But do remind them that it was us who dealt with the man-eating monsters when you couldn’t."
Though she didn’t say anything, Xiao Guan understood her aning. If he didn’t hand over a decent amount of supplies, they would probably be beaten by these people.
Xiao Guan was not willing but he had no choice.
"Is this necessary?" Yun Chuan asked after hesitating for a while when Xiao Guan walked away.
"It is necessary," replied Bai iyue coldly. "If we do not take their supplies, they would take it for granted. It is their fortune that they were able to survive today. But what if they make a habit of relying on others all the ti? Whats more, who can guarantee that these people will not follow us and ask us to protect them?"
"Look carefully; a few of the mbers have looked here more than once."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Guofu raised his cold face and looked at the crowd of people. Indeed, a few of them were looking over to where they were standing and seed to be teetering on the verge of speech.
"These people are not friends or family mbers. They are following each other because they have no choice," explained Bai iyue. "They have no bond or feelings for one another. So if they see a team stronger than the one they are following, they would hurry to cling to our team. By asking for supplies, I have cleared our stance that we do not take any idlers with us nor do we do idle work or charity."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, those people who were looking at their team stiffened and turned to look at Xiao Guan. Most probably that man had disclosed the matter of Bai iyue asking for supplies to his team.
Those who were looking at her team were no longer staring at them any more.
Seeing this, Bai iyue curled her lips and stated, "These people are like leeches. They only want to get their hands on supplies but they do no real work. If I hadn’t asked for supplies, then they would have co here to beg us, and if we hadn’t agreed, they would have called us all kinds of nas."
"It’s better to deal with such things before they go out of control."
Yun Chuan gave Bai iyue a thumbs up. He said to her, "Very smart, Miss Bai. I really didn’t expect such a thing. It seems like you are really perceiving."
Bai iyue simply smiled and didn’t say anything. She was not that smart; she was just used to dealing with these things. In her past life, these things were quite common and she soon learnt her way to handle them.
"Just pay attention to your surroundings." Bai iyue didn’t explain any further just as Xiao Guan returned. He agreed to give them a few of his team supplies and said, "We don’t have much; is this enough?"
He raised the box of mineral water, so frozen at, and packs of instant noodles.
Bai iyue humd. She had no intention to snatch the supplies of this team; she just didn’t want unnecessary trouble. With her ssage cleared, those idlers would definitely not co and cause trouble for her.
She turned to Bai Zhan and asked him to fill the gas tank and walked out of the gas station. However, as soon as she stepped out, she saw Lu Yin following Lei Yan, who was heading towards the small alley that was not far from the gas station.
Bai iyue’s eyes flashed with annoyance as she chased after the two won.
Lu Yin didn’t know that she had been caught; she was still following Lei Yan with a dagger in her hand. As long as she could slash Lei Yan’s throat, she wouldn’t have to worry about being abandoned any more.
She raised the dagger in her hand and was about to bring it down when soone caught her by her wrist and pulled her back.
Lei Yan, who sensed sothing, turned to look behind her but when she didn’t see anything, she happily rushed inside the small candy store.
"It seems like you really do not understand human language ah," Bai iyue grabbed Lu Yin by her throat and slamd her against the wall. "I told you that if you make another move, I will kill you. Is it because you think you are too strong or do you think that I was just throwing threats around that I do not an?"
"Let—let go of ." Lu Yin tried to get rid of the fingers that were clutching her throat and kicked Bai iyue’s knees with her legs. Seeing this, Bai iyue sneered and said, "Let go of you? If I let go of you, who will let go of Lei Yan? With how thick your head is, I believe even if I tell you to leave her alone, you wouldn’t listen to , right?"
"Then isn’t it better to kill you? After all, only dead people are obedient."
Lu Yin’s eyes widened when she heard Bai iyue’s words. She tried to struggle even harder when Bai iyue tightened her grip on her neck even more, making her gasp for breath.
BANG!
