CHAPTER 800: CHAPTER 498: SURVIVING THE NIGHT

"So..." Ming Lanyuan and the others looked towards Sui Yi...

The latter remained calm, slightly lifting her gaze, "Am I going to become famous?"

Pfft!

Cao Ling laughed.

"You were already famous, okay..." Cao Ling was saying this when suddenly she remarked, "It seems a bit noisy outside."

? Sui Yi went out to take a look, and it turned out that Nusser and other Hellfire stewards were being surrounded by several noble guests, discussing something. Due to their excitement, they sounded like they were arguing...

However, the discussion was consistent among them.

Electricity, traffic, the Duke of Communication, contact methods, and so on.

Is there any!

, No there isn’t! After receiving Nusser’s response, there was a sudden silence.

"So, now we can only hope our people notice the danger and come to rescue us, right?"

Mario’s young face showed a vivid expression, somewhat exaggerated, but couldn’t hide the worry in his eyes.

After all, from the plane explosion and ship, and power outage, it was apparent the mastermind wanted to trap them on this island.

"Even if our people could react quickly and send a plane to rescue us, it would take at least four to five hours... We definitely have to stay here for one night. Although we can endure and get through it, there’s fear of some danger..."

Mario and these bigwigs didn’t reach their current status without some smarts, especially having a keen judgment on the situation. The most terrifying thing at present wasn’t really the outage of the electricity and transportation...but why they were cut off!

Nusser maintained his calm, responding accordingly. However, since Yale was killed and their castle people were also victims, these guests felt embarrassed to overly press the opposition, even if in some ways... They were indeed a bit aggressive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for bringing you such trouble tonight. In fact, we at Hellfire are quite helpless too since it seems the opposition was well-prepared, and in Hellfire... Yale Prince isn’t the only one who died."

What? Everyone was taken aback.

"When the chaos erupted, we discovered that one-third of our internal personnel had disappeared, some bodies were found, and others vanished without a trace. I think these people were the opposition’s force, infiltrating us in Hellfire, killing and then doing a series of sabotage actions, trapping you on the island... Killing the prince, I suspect, was to leave us leaderless."

Most people accepted Nusser’s explanation... --outwardly accepting it for sure, though privately it might not be so certain, but now really wasn’t the time to tear off the disguise, as this place was the opposition’s territory, and they lacked concrete evidence to accuse them.

And in fact, this claim did get some evidence,

When those bodies were inspected by the nobles’ representatives, they had to admit that Nusser was telling the truth.

Yale’s death, Natasha and her group distancing themselves, leaving the group leaderless at present...

Landis, Muen Mashafeideli, Losar.

Landis represented the Martial Arts Power, Losar was from the local noble family of England, and Muen Mashafeideli was simply a good person...

These three parties overlapped in management, barely compensating for the current out-of-control situation.

As for why the Earl of Platinum and Lv Si didn’t get elected, the former had a bad reputation, and the latter was French...

After the representatives were chosen, arrangements were easily made. The guests present counted heads, then started arranging people to move back to their rooms, arranging for shifts to guard...

The guards concentrated on the protection.

This arrangement took merely a moment to complete, showcasing indeed that the people here were world-class elites.

Sui Yi got a newly arranged room, just needing to get through these few hours, and it would be safe tomorrow...

------

Sui Yi only had a backpack, previously arranged into the room by Hellfire people via ferry. Now naturally, Hellfire personnel assigned a new room, and she didn’t have to do anything from start to finish.

The noble butlers and followers’ capability to handle matters was excellent. Sui Yi sat on the room’s sofa, the oil lamp already lit, watching as these followers set up the bedding and nodded to her before leaving...

After they left, Cao Ling and Ming Lanyuan came over, the former glanced at the aloof Yi nearby, "Hey, are the three of you sharing a room tonight~?"

Yi shot her a cold glance, making Cao Ling fall silent.

She cursed silently inside, wondering what kind of people become best friends, with one or two of them being cold and aloof~

The room arrangement was simpler than before.

The so-called simplification meant multiple people staying in one room, whether on the floor or sharing the bed, at least three people per room.

This was also for safety reasons.
