Li Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead. Being a chubby person, he was especially afraid of heat. The daytime temperature reached as high as 40 degrees, and if not for being on the lake, he would have been drenched in sweat long ago.

Could he agree to Ivica’s request?

Clearly, he couldn’t. When Li Kang left, he told them to be careful not to let Ivica and Jerry find them.

And now, they were caught by Ivica.

It was a huge oversight, way too careless.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have left the lakeside bay and would have just fished there. That way, he wouldn’t have been discovered.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now.

If he doesn’t agree, Ivica’s words will be confirmed, giving her a reason to act.

Li Wei was well aware of how powerful a 4-level mage could be.

Moreover, facing two 4-level mages, there was no way he could handle them.

It was too difficult, incredibly difficult.

Li Wei couldn’t understand why it was so hard for him.

"What, you don’t dare let me see my team members?" Ivica took out her weapon, making her stance clear.

"Act, take him down." Ivica said, and then immediately took action.

No matter what, disabling this fat guy was the best decision.

Li Wei never expected Ivica to be so decisive.

Ivica and her subordinates immediately attacked, thrusting two long spears towards Li Wei.

Li Wei had only advanced six days ago, and compared to Ivica, he was still somewhat inferior.

So, he couldn’t block Ivica’s spear.

The spear pierced straight through Li Wei’s body.

Li Wei was stunned, not expecting Ivica to be so ruthless, directly aiming for his life.

There was no time to counterattack, and he could only give up the challenge.

However, Ivica was prepared, restraining Li Wei’s hands, giving him no chance at all.

Ivica’s subordinate held the spear and stabbed it forward.

Li Wei desperately used telekinesis to block, so although he was stabbed, it wasn’t fatal.

The human healing ability on this planet was quite strong, and even if a hole was made, it would heal in a few days once stitched up.

But if there was another stab, it might not end well.

Originally, Ivica’s subordinate aimed to stab Li Wei in the abdomen, which wouldn’t be fatal. But unexpectedly, after Li Wei blocked it, the spear deflected and directly broke through Li Wei’s defenses, piercing into his chest.

Blood spurted out instantly, and Li Wei let out a wretched scream.

"Team member 366, Li Wei, deceased."

A voice echoed in everyone’s minds.

Li Kang froze upon hearing this voice.

Li Wei was under his command, and due to their shared surname, Li Kang had a bit of a soft spot for him. He was also one of the more likely people in his team to break through to level 4.

And now he’s dead?

Killed by a fierce beast?

But he had ordered his men to wait at a hidden spot by the lake until he advanced to level 5 before they would regroup.

Logically, they shouldn’t have encountered a level 4 fierce beast.

Then how did Li Wei die?

"Chen Hui, do you think it was Jerry and his crew who found our camp and killed Li Wei?" Li Kang asked.

With him was the military doctor Chen Hui. Worried about getting injured while tracking Xu Yi, Li Kang brought Chen Hui for assurance.

Chen Hui adjusted his glasses, saying, "I don’t think it was them. After all, it’s all being broadcast live, doing so would spark public outrage. Li Wei was quite honest and wouldn’t do anything too out of line."

Li Kang nodded, thinking Chen Hui made some sense.

Even though it’s not face-to-face, with the live surveillance feed, all eyes were on them.

Killing someone like that seems quite improbable.

"Let’s wait and see, hopefully, nothing major happens." Li Kang took out several Star Charts, and through the team member map on them, he could determine if there was chaos at the camp.

If something happened, his subordinates would surely come with the core team to find him.

At that moment, an irreversible situation would have arisen.

Li Kang certainly didn’t want that to happen.

After all, he needed those Star Charts in the hands of his team.

Moreover, he could be certain, they didn’t need to experience the horror of a level 5 fierce beast; just knowing how terrifying a level 4 peak beast could be would break most people’s spirits, engulfing them in a jealous frenzy.

At that point, Li Kang only needed to guide them slightly and make a promise. Those people would willingly hand over the Star Charts.

"Ivica was way too ruthless, killing directly?"

"My goddess went mad, killing in the live broadcast, that’s insane!"

"The most venomous woman’s heart, the old saying never lied to me; this foreign chick is too brutal. We’re all the same class, competing is fine, but going for the kill is too much." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"When Li Kang was snatching people, why didn’t you criticize him? Now you just stand up and babble. Moreover, it was clearly an accident just now, the spear was aimed at the abdomen, it’s that dead fat guy’s block that led to the deviation, are you all blind?"

"Regardless of whether it’s an accident, the person is dead, and there’s no denying that. If you make a move, you must bear responsibility."

"Responsibility? Can you put Ivica in jail or demand a life for a life? She’s on an alien planet; at worst, she won’t return. With so many admirers, she’d have a better life than us struggling corporate slaves anywhere."

Ivica hadn’t expected the fat guy to die.

But in an instant, she snapped back to reality.

Death was already a fact and irreversible.

Thus, Ivica’s long spear flew onto the small boat.

Her companion directly took Li Wei’s Star Chart, as if they hadn’t killed a person but a fierce beast.

"Can any of you take me to your camp and let me see those team members who were taken away?" Ivica asked expressionlessly.

At this moment, the people on the boat finally snapped out of it.

They were all scared stiff just now.

Li Wei was considered a master in Li Kang’s team now.

In the camp, only another person named Red was a level 4 mage; the rest were level 3. Yet, they hadn’t expected Li Wei to last less than a minute.

If they didn’t take Ivica there, they might all die in less than half a minute, right?

An opponent who killed Li Wei wouldn’t hesitate to kill others, would they?

"I, I, I can take you there." A person, frightened out of his wits, raised his hand, his face full of a pleading expression. But due to fear, his complexion looked awful.
