"Instinct."
"Huh? Instinct?" Hawen almost laughed in exasperation at Lin Mo. "Can that keep you safe and put food in your belly?"
Monica said, amused, "Kid, do you know how dangerous what you just said was? I'm not unreasonable. Fine, since you won't join either side, we'll let you go free."
Teng Hai suddenly sided with Monica. "No objections here. Let him become one of the Wanderers. Monica, let's divide up the rest."
"Tch, split them however you want," Monica said casually. "The first seven from the left are mine. You can refuse to join and become Wanderers with that amnesiac."
Teng Hai continued, "Then the rest are mine. Same goes for my side. Joining isn't compulsory. You're free to choose to become Wanderers too."
Although the dozen or so newcomers had seemed fairly cooperative at first, several of them had been quietly resentful all along.
With Lin Mo taking the lead in rejecting the two leaders, three others gathered their courage and refused to join either Monica or Teng Hai, choosing to become Wanderers.
Hawen was assigned to Teng Hai's side. Timid by nature, he joined without the slightest hesitation, all for the sake of staying alive and having something to eat.
Chapter 828: Soma Island: Surprised? So Am I
In the end, Jahi and Holland never even fought.
Once the new prisoners had been divided up, everyone dispersed.
Monica and Teng Hai exchanged a glance, then left Central Square without another word.
After returning to their respective territories, both leaders tacitly gave the same order: have someone keep an eye on Lin Mo.
Jahi more or less understood Monica's intentions and went to carry out her orders without asking anything.
Holland, however, was still somewhat confused. "Boss, is that amnesiac really worth keeping such a close eye on?"
