Jairo Suarez turned to Raphael and said, “Mr. Carr, I know you're a wealthy person who only cares about money, but are you sure the person you brought can kill the monster without our help? There's only so much time you can stall by stopping us from sending help. Once Channing and the rest of your men die, victory will still belong to us.”
“Is that so? Well, I'm looking forward to it.”
Raphael sat in his chair, completely unfazed, as if he was not worried about failing to take care of the monster.
Meanwhile, Channing could no longer hold out in the monster's hands.
Channing was definitely faster than the monster in the beginning, but the latter's strength seemed limitless. Even after fighting for a long time, it never slowed down. In fact, it moved even faster.
“What are you waiting for? Come and give me a hand!”
Channing's body was already covered in wounds.
He almost burst a vessel when he saw Donald not taking any action.
Donald was in no rush. After all, the reason the two families had sent him in with Channing was to make him bait at the critical moment.
Little did they expect the monster to ignore Donald and attack the others first.
“You want me to help you? Sure. Will you fight over the spirit stone mine with me after I do that?”
Channing almost lost his temper. What the hell? How is he still negotiating under such circumstances?
Then again, he was only someone paid to take care of the matter. He dared not decide on behalf of his employer.
As there was no reply from Channing, Donald said, “All right, then. Since you want both my help and the spirit stone mine, you can continue fighting this battle on your own. I'll take care of it when you're dead.”
Channing was so taken aback by Donald's decision that his arm was chopped off by the monster.
“Help me! I won't fight with you over the mine.”
In this critical moment, Channing could not be bothered to consider so much in order to stay alive.
