When I finished explaining what happened, everyone looked at me with strange looks. The greatest emotion that many of them had when they looked at me was doubt. It was clear that they didn't believe what I said. Though to be fair, there were a few details that I did leave out. Such as me failing to cut through the crystal and the fact that I had the ogres try burning the crystals. These were things that they didn't need to know. There was a long silence that hung in the air, but I could see the way that the others were moving. It seemed that they were trying to find some way of refuting what I said and even turning the other top contenders against me. The one that they seemed to want to move first was Huang Tuo and the Fire God Team. After all, he wasn't hiding the hostility that he felt towards me at all. But before any of them could make their move, the leader of the Luminous Knights Team said, "Alright, that's where we can start our investigations from then." The leader of the Dark Knights Team had an unwilling look in his eyes, but he also nodded in agreement. Everyone was shocked to hear this and there were some unwilling looks that appeared on their faces. Some of them seemed like they weren't willing to go on this wild goose chase. However, since the leaders of the Dark Knights Team and the Luminous Knights Team spoke, it was hard for them to actually say anything. The only thing that they could do was turn to the only ally that they thought they had in this place. The only one that they could turn to was Huang Tuo and the Fire God Team who seemed to have a grudge against me. But they never would have expected… "It's the only lead that we have, so there's nothing that we can do about it." Huang Tuo actually spoke up in support of this plan. This definitely wasn't something that anyone expected since they had seen the hostility in Huang Tuo's eyes as he looked in my direction. They thought that no matter what, he would have done all that he could to oppose this. Huang Tuo wasn't a fool though. He could naturally tell what everyone else was thinking and what they wanted him to do, so it was impossible for him to fall for their plans. After all, he had already suffered at the hands of this person that they were trying to set him up against. Because of this pit that he fell in previously, Huang Tuo was very aware of the abilities of this person and knew that he wouldn't make this kind of mistake. He wouldn't say anything unless he was certain of it. So he wouldn't be the scapegoat that everyone used. Once Huang Tuo said this, there was nothing else that anyone could say. After all, the only person that they thought that they would be able to rely on to go against this, but it didn't seem like he was going to say anything. Without someone to rely on, they naturally couldn't say anything about this. The only thing that they could do was follow along. Once everyone was subdued, the two leaders from the Dark Knights Team and the Luminous Knights Team came over to where we were standing. One might think that they would talk to Leaf, but they just went past her to talk to me. "We'll let you lead the way." The two of them said at the same time before glaring at each other. However, they didn't seem to break out in a fight in the end. I was completely caught off guard by this. I certainly never expected the two of them to let me lead the way like this. The way that they had said this was as if they were treating me as an equal, stepping back to let me take the lead in this matter. But no matter how one thought about it, that shouldn't be the case. That was what the looks on everyone else's faces said as well. None of them could understand or even believe what had happened. But since it was the two of them that were saying this… At the same time, they could see that the Huang Tuo and Leaf both seemed like they were going along with this. The only one that seemed to have an expressionless look on their faces were the Shining Bolts Team. They were the only team that I hadn't had contact with, so I had no idea what kind of team they were. With everyone staring at me like this, I had no choice but to lead the way. With everyone following me, we eventually reached the same room as before. Before we even reached that room, it was as if they no longer needed me as they all went forward towards that door that had a faint glow coming from beneath it. It was as if they all wanted to see just what was causing this faint glow to come from behind that door. When they opened the door, many of them were surprised to see the crystal that was there. However, the crystal wasn't the only thing that was there. There were also manta rays that were in this room that surrounded the crystal. With the way that they stayed close to the crystal, it seemed that they were recharging their energy from the crystal. But the moment that they opened the door and went into the room, the manta rays turned to look at the humans that entered. They had no choice but to take care of the manta rays, but if one looked closely… seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They could see that none of the top contender teams or our team entered the room. We had remained behind everyone else and just watched as they fought with the manta rays.
