“That’s right. Everyone is here for the prizes, so we should unite. If we meet each other in the competition, we can hold back a little, as long as it doesn’t affect the ranking,” Philip said.
Everyone nodded upon hearing that.
Humans were creatures of emotions, after all. No matter how grand an event was, everything was rigged behind the scenes. As long as people were present, there must be something behind the scenes, so this was nothing unusual.
“In that case, we can be considered allies, but others are probably doing the same too,” Laurie said
Philip nodded as he agreed with her words.
The Heroes Conference this time had probably attracted many powerful people, and there would be many cliques among them. Whatever they could think of, the other party could definitely think of it too, so they had to take advanced precautions!
“Let’s not worry about others. After all, many people have not arrived yet. We don’t need to plan ahead. Let’s just take one step at a time and act accordingly,” Laurie said.
Philip was startled upon hearing that. Indeed, since the other party had not arrived, there was no need for such precautions, so he nodded.
“I think Laurie has a point. What do you think?” Philip said.
Dion had no objections. As for the female thief, she had not spoken a word so far, so she had no objection either.
“That’s settled, then. You don’t have to worry too much. The Heroes Conference is only a few days away. The exact timing hasn’t been revealed, but it should be within these two days. Everyone should take a good break,” Laurie said.
After thinking about it, he gave up. He just had to take one step at a time and not worry about such things. If anyone was really up to something, he had many ways to deal with it.
With that thought in mind, Philip put aside his worries and invited everyone for drinks. They would worry about those things later! Everyone got drunk and was carried back.
As for Philip, he looked at the empty bar counter and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he finally realized that a person had appeared in front of him at some point.
