I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

"Help!" Kasumigaoka Utaha shouted.

Immediately, the dark figure behind her fled at lightning speed, seemingly lying down wherever it happened to be.

A strange thing happened: as soon as he lay down, he turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's shout roused a whole bunch of people.

"Who, who!" The middle-aged capitalist stood up, feeling somewhat angry.

Damn it, I didn't even touch this woman in order to trade her for supplies!

You see, the point of venting on this island is just for fun. When the woman has a higher value, the food is what's valuable!

What if the goods are lost tonight, and Luofeng denies responsibility tomorrow?

The middle-aged capitalist counted the number of people and found that everyone was there.

He quickly asked the night watchman, "Did you see it clearly?"

"I didn't see clearly, but it was lying nearby."

There were five or six people lying there. I don't know who was so inconsiderate of the bigger picture.

"Keep a close eye on her. She can't be allowed to get into trouble, no matter who does!" the middle-aged capitalist said viciously.

"Yes!"

Listening to their conversation, Kasumigaoka Utaha had already roughly guessed her fate.

What to do, what to do?

She leaned closer to Eru Oreki and whispered, "They've already decided... to send me away?"

She was seething with anger when she said that. She was a person, not a commodity!

She belongs to herself, not to these people.

"Um... I'm sorry, Houtarou did his best." Oreki Eru hugged her knees, somewhat unable to look at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She didn't want to give up Kasumigaoka Utaha, but someone had to sacrifice themselves at this time.

When Houtarou came back, he tried to reason with them, but Houtarou Oreki was not a person who was good at arguing.

Hayama also spoke up for Kasumigaoka Utaha quite a bit; all he could do was say a few words on her behalf.

"I know." Kasumigaoka Utaha was very calm now.

She wanted revenge, revenge on these people.

Compared to these people, she felt she would rather give it to Luo Feng, at least Luo Feng was a handsome guy.

"He said he could bring one person. How about I take you with me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha whispered.

In that case, we won't be able to get them food.

"No, I can't leave Houtarou behind!" Oreki Eru shook her head quickly; she never wanted to be separated from Oreki Houtarou, no matter what.

"Phew... I understand." Kasumigaoka Utaha returned to her previous position.

She didn't want to bring anyone except the Oreki couple.

Ye Shan did something for her, but it wasn't enough.

"Let him talk, he's good at analyzing things." Oreki Eru shook Oreki Houtarou, but found that he didn't move.

Oreki Eru broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly touched Oreki Houtarou's head and found that it was burning hot.

He hadn't been eating well these past few days, which had already lowered his immunity, and then he got punched, did strenuous exercise, and then this downpour...

A high fever is nothing unusual in Japan, but this is outside!

"Quick, my husband has a fever, get me a fever reducer!" Oreki Eru said anxiously.

"Hmph, fever reducers?" The capitalist was overjoyed, but he still kept a straight face: "We've run out of fever reducers. He hasn't done any heavy work. We should save the fever reducers for those who do more physical labor."

Houtarou has always been against him, so it's good that he's gone.

Eru Oreki swallowed hard, her expression somewhat dazed.

What should we do? What should we do? He'll die!

“You…” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Oreki Eru: “How about this, I’ll trade the food, you tell the truth, and you trade him for a chance to live.”

Humans are strange creatures; when they are down on their luck, they want to see others down on their luck, especially when they have a legitimate reason to do so.

"Me? No, I have a husband..."

“I can take him with me, but that won’t get us food. Do you think you’ll survive? You saw what these people are like, how they tried to treat me before, didn’t you?” Kasumigaoka Utaha said, “Or do you want to die here with him? Is loyalty more important than your life?”

Oreki Eru opened her mouth, feeling that she couldn't refute it.

"What's wrong?" Totsuka Saika dragged her tired body over, touched Houtarou's forehead, and her expression changed: "Something bad is going to happen."

"Totsuka-senpai, what should we do?" Iroha Isshiki was completely at a loss.

She was terrified that women could switch food.

The only boy she was interested in is now married, and she doesn't have anyone she likes, but that doesn't mean she wants to be sold off for food.

There's a strange phenomenon now: none of these people are even considering the search and rescue team anymore.

"I don't know, I'm out of medicine too, I handed it all in." Totsuka Ayaka gave a bitter smile.

Eru Oreki gritted her teeth, thinking about Houtarou's life...

He will forgive me.

Chapter 487 More Beautiful Than You

The next morning, the middle-aged capitalist stood up and walked towards Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have been waiting for him all along, and calmly asked, "Have you reached a conclusion?"

"This was decided by a vote. You're doing better with him, and he's a handsome guy too, so you should contribute to the team..."

“I have a request,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said. “If you don’t meet this condition, then when I arrive I will just say I don’t want to change the food, and I believe he will be happy to accept that.”

The middle-aged capitalist was being nice to Kasumigaoka Utaha at this point, wanting to resolve the issue through discussion rather than coercion, precisely because of this.

Luo Feng doesn't have a gun; they won't even consider taking one unless they're truly in dire straits.

No matter how they analyzed it, they felt that Luo Feng was not someone they could negotiate with.

Talks are possible, but who will talk? What if someone shoots us dead?

"What are your requirements?" The capitalist's face turned cold.

“She’s with me,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said. “She won’t change the food, but her husband has a high fever and needs medication. That person might have some, so she wants to exchange it for the chance for her and her husband to live on.”

The middle-aged capitalist's expression changed.

Now every woman is a bargaining chip for food, and he really doesn't want to lose a single one.

"Or are you saying that, besides me, you even want to trade married women for me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice rose.

The other two, who had girlfriends, immediately became wary.

One of them died, leaving eighteen. If these four were to be separated, Ye Shan's group would see a significant increase in numbers, making them barely able to hold their own.

"How could that be?" the middle-aged capitalist hurriedly said, "No, no... This is how it should be, everyone is free."

Actually, those two couples were also somewhat tempted, but they thought that they hadn't reached a dead end yet, so they could hold on a little longer and remain faithful.

If all else fails, then go and seek refuge with them.

Isshiki Iroha thinks so too. She feels she can hold on a little longer, in case Luo Feng gets a lot of food. She can't bring herself to sell herself for this kind of thing.

Oreki Eru glanced gratefully at Kasumigaoka Utaha, feeling that her and Houtarou's efforts in taking care of her had not been in vain.

She also realized that even if she wanted to be open-minded, the other side might not let her go.

"Send a few people to help support him," Kasumigaoka Utaha said.

Finally, the middle-aged capitalist, along with Hayama, two burly men, Oreki Houtarou, Oreki Airu, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, headed towards the direction where Luo Feng was.

…………

Now Luo Feng's place has changed completely. The beach chairs look like poorly made woodwork, the parasols are tattered, and the grill has been turned into a bonfire with six fish stuck on top and two beggar's chickens buried underneath.

Shionji Yuuko lay on the bearskin, looking at a somewhat tattered book.

As for bear meat?

The bear paws were roasting there, and next to them was half a box of compressed biscuits and some medicine, as if they had been obtained through an adventure.

Because of the distance, it took them three hours to get there.

This distance was intentional on Luo Feng's part, as it would consume a lot of his stamina.

The group stared wide-eyed at what Luo Feng had.

Are they living the same kind of life?

A person looks at the grilled fish and instinctively wants to reach out.

boom!

A gunshot rang out!

Luo Feng's gaze fell on the man, and he smiled and said, "What, want to die?"

The man quickly stopped.

Having guns as a deterrent and actually daring to kill are two different things!

"Mr. Luo Feng, why do you have to do this?" Totsuka Ayaka wasn't there yesterday: "Weren't we all doing fine at the beginning?"

"Weren't you all doing fine at the beginning?" Luo Feng brandished his gun. "No matter what, profit comes first. Since I have the ability to get what I want, why should I bother?"

"Didn't she initially think I was a hooligan? If I don't investigate, won't I be left with this misunderstanding for nothing?"

"Looking back now, I was right!" Kasumigaoka Utaha retorted, "You're just a scoundrel who can't find a sense of existence in civilized society, so you can only act like a bully in places like this."

She's already risked everything, what else is there to lose? Go ahead and shoot me if you dare!

"Tsk, you'll see how powerful I am once we get back to civilized society," Luo Feng chuckled.
