"Us? Deceive the princess? That's a pretty big accusation."
"Do you have any proof?" Xi Ping asked calmly.
But the Hunter Association members didn't respond to the question.
Instead, they stepped forward, surrounding the trio.
"We are following protocol," the leader said. "If you resist, we'll be forced to use superpowers. You'll be injured, and we'll still take you in."
Su Jiyai, Qin Feng, and Xi Ping exchanged looks.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and spoke through the telepathic link to Su Jiyai and Xi Ping.
"Should we just run? I can open a portal right now."
Su Jiyai shook her head slightly, still kneeling.
"No. If we run now, they'll never stop chasing us. And remember — the princess already knows you're the owner of the island. If we disappear, she'll definitely start watching it. We won't be able to move food anymore. Our whole plan will be ruined."
Qin Feng frowned.
"Then what do we do? We can't fight them all. There are too many."
