The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 236 All done

Although unwilling, Clarence felt there was no point in continuing to struggle, as the enemy's abilities far surpassed his own. It wasn't just shooting skills; he could sense that the enemy was far more terrifying than anyone he had ever known before.

Instead of trying to find out what the other side has to say, why not just kill him immediately? Perhaps they want to recruit him as a team member?

Having reluctantly accepted the fact that he had failed, Clarence's gaze fell on the direction where Jiang Hui was, and he pursed his lips.

If it's the team this person belongs to, then it's easier to understand.

Having figured out Huan Xian and his group's purpose, Clarence, though still unable to lower his guard, felt much more at ease.

Huan Xian made the same request to Clarence, asking him to drop his weapon and come over on his own. Because of Clarence's exceptional marksmanship, the four men remained vigilant, keeping all four guns pointed at him at all times in case he suddenly attacked.

It was clear that this was an extremely proud man, unable to lower himself or save face. Huan Xian's demands and actions obviously humiliated him. Even though reason compelled him to obey instinctively, his expression grew increasingly awkward, his face turning as black as charcoal, which was quite frightening.

Zhou Xiuwen thought to himself that their soon-to-be teammate looked like he had a bad temper and wasn't easy to get along with.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he's skilled. This guy is truly the third formidable opponent he's encountered after Jiang Hui and Huan Xian. If Huan Xian and Jiang Hui hadn't been paying close attention during the fight, he and Hillman might have already been eliminated by the opponent's precise strikes. It's truly admirable.

Hillman felt a strange and subtle emotion welling up inside him, a feeling that was both that of a fellow traveler and a sense of shared misfortune. Perhaps it was the thought of his own cowardly appearance back then, inspired by the other man's less-than-ideal state. Well... it really wasn't very presentable. Did Jiang, who was watching, think he was too cowardly?

It's okay, we'll all be from the same country from now on anyway. What's a little embarrassment in front of my teammates? It's nothing! He's still waiting for these amazing teammates to carry him to victory.

But why does this guy look so familiar? Golden hair, handsome face, and the way he looks like someone owes him hundreds of thousands... it's like...

The moment Jiang Hui saw the other party appear, she couldn't help but think, "Just as I thought."

No wonder she felt her opponent's shooting style was somewhat familiar during the gunfight. And the fact that his gaze kept subtly falling on her meant she really was someone she knew.

"Clarence," Jiang Hui greeted him somewhat awkwardly.

Why should it be awkward? Because her teammate Huan Xian doesn't seem to intend to welcome this new teammate in the same way you would welcome a regular teammate.

"...Why did you tie him up?" Jiang Hui's face stiffened. Before Er Kang could even reach out, Huan Xian used an alloy soft rope that he had somehow produced to tie the person up tightly. Moreover, his technique was very professional, and it seemed that there was absolutely no chance of him escaping.

Didn't you invite them to be your teammates? Jiang Hui's smile froze on her lips.

Zhou Xiuwen and Hillman were also stunned.

Of course, the other party was also somewhat stunned. He had thought his guess was correct. But what was going on with this person's current behavior? Could this be one of the tests for officially joining the team, requiring him to be tied up for a period of time to gain trust before he could escape?

Clarence's previous stubbornness, mixed with unwilling arrogance and unconcealed humiliation, vanished completely in an instant, replaced by utter stunned silence.

"Have you forgotten what we were discussing? Isn't this the best solution we have right now? Hurry up and come help us, or we won't be able to run anymore," Huan Xian urged hastily.

While Zhou Xiuwen was still stunned by the other party's behavior, Hillman, who was used to accepting new things, immediately responded and went to help before even figuring out what was going on, quickly tying up... Clarence's legs.

Huan Xian seemed quite satisfied, and then directed Zhou Xiuwen and Hillman to help support the other party as they approached the central energy block. What could Jiang Hui do? Since her teammate was a thief, she naturally had to follow suit.

She was initially taken aback by the other party's overly bold actions, but quickly realized what Huan Xian was thinking. Actually, this wasn't a bad idea, and it relieved them of many worries.

So it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The two or three minutes they spent arguing were worth it. They wasted some time, but they gained a great helper. It was definitely worth it.

Having figured it out, Jiang Hui happily followed along.

Clarence: ...

The four who had just been arguing, along with a teammate they had forcibly taken back, "excitedly" headed towards the place they had just been avoiding like the plague.

Of course, it wasn't them who were going in, but this new teammate.

---------------

Despite seeing the nearly double-digit remaining energy, Holly's brow remained furrowed.

A teammate who was some distance away nodded slightly to Holly: "Captain, that person hasn't shown up yet."

Holly made no comment on this.

However, a girl sitting opposite the two scoffed and coldly sneered, "They're really good at hiding. How afraid of being discovered? Don't they dare to face you openly? What's the point of hiding like this..."

"Mu Kun, you're wrong. How could someone be in the top position if they didn't have real skills? Even if there are compensation points, they can't reach three hundred. Don't underestimate the enemy."

"What do you mean by that? Are you deliberately trying to argue with me? I just can't stand guys who hide and dodge. I didn't question her abilities, you—"

"What kind of nonsense is this! Don't lose your composure before you even face anyone." The one who had called for the captain earlier coldly stopped the two from arguing.

Although the two still looked unconvinced and didn't even glance at the person who spoke, they probably realized that their words and actions were inappropriate, so they each snorted and looked away.

Holly observed the various reactions within the teams with a cold eye, saying nothing. He casually glanced at the top name on the overall leaderboard, then looked up at the map. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, landing on a ranking number that appeared on the map.

"Looks like he finally couldn't resist coming out."

"This is... ranked third, Theofele Clarence from the second squad of the combat individual unit, in solo mode."

"Wow, he's really good at dodging. This guy is quite good at dodging too, but there's someone even better at it."

"L3 is right here near us, why don't we go check him out later? He doesn't even have a squad yet, what a shame."

Yes, it's such a pity. If only I had met him sooner. Holly's gaze lingered briefly on that name before quickly looking away.
