Ruthless! The Decision of Two Men!...

In the central area of the Giant Beast Forest Encampment, inside a large tent, Peros, Marcus, and Andrew sat facing one another, discussing something as though they were in a meeting...

Seeing Marcus and Andrew across from him looking utterly unconcerned, Peros's brows had already furrowed deeply.

"Are you two even listening?!" Peros's tone carried a trace of anger. "Since neither of you intends to intervene, then I'll do it myself. Why are you stopping me from sending people to investigate those disappearances?..."

"Peros, aren't you making too much of a fuss..." Marcus cast Peros an indifferent glance. "It's only a few low-ranking personnel who have gone missing..."

"A few?" Peros laughed in extreme anger and slammed his palm onto a sheet of paper on the table. "Take a look at the number of missing personnel reported here yourselves!"

"Is this just a few? It's several every day! And over the past month, more than a hundred low-ranking personnel have been declared missing!"

Hearing this, Marcus narrowed his eyes slightly and exchanged a subtle glance with Andrew beside him. Andrew immediately understood and said to Peros, "Is this intelligence accurate? It could also be a smokescreen set up by those people who have been growing restless..."

"That's right!" Marcus nodded and sneered. "Don't forget, those people have always wanted to take a bite out of us. They've had their eyes on our position for a long time..."

"That's exactly why we need to investigate, isn't it?..." Peros's entire face had tightened, looking exceedingly grim. "The low-ranking outer areas of the encampment have already fallen into serious panic. There are even rumors about plague-like infectious diseases or retaliation from some unknown magical beast. People are uneasy, and even the efficiency of hunting in the Giant Beast Forest has dropped considerably!"
