Chapter 172 Chapter 172 Matthias subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but the door fell too fast.
Matthias could only watch the stone door fall in front of him.
He was locked in the storage room.
What was worse was that there was no switch inside.
He was too careless.
He was blinded by sadness and resentment.
Just now, all he wanted to do was avenge Oneida.
He forgot that Ruby was cunning Outside the stone gate, Ruby looked at everything in front of her with satisfaction.
Just now, one had fallen off the cliff and the other was locked in the storage room.
No one could stop her.
She could take the biggest gem back to the training camp soon.
Speaking of which, the storage room in the cave was much hidden.
Ordinary people couldnât find it.
Rubyâs little habit had helped her to locate it easily.
Whenever she went to a strange place, she always liked to knock on the surroundings.
Unexpectedly, she knocked on the switch in the storage room.
Therefore, she had a plan when Matthias was saved by Oneida.
She pretended to be scared and let Matthias hold on to his grudges. Then, she waited for the opportunity to lead Matthias to the storage room.
The soundproof effect of that storage room was very good. Even if he shouted in it, no one would hear him.
In that way, Matthias would starve to death in a few days.
After all, without water and food, how long could he live?
Ruby turned around and picked up Oneidaâs backpack.
She unzipped the zipper and took out Oneidaâs gem.
That was the largest and most gorgeous gem.
Finally, it fell into her hand.
Rubyâs eyes flashed with intense pleasantness.
âOneida, Matthias... I didnât want to kill the two of you, but you wonât give me the biggest gem! So, I had no choice but to take it myself.â
Ruby put the gem in her bag and got rid of the backpacks of Oneida and Matthias.
Finally, she blocked the cliff with stones.
Everything returned to its original state.
There was no trace left.
What had just happened would also become a secret that would be sealed there forever.
No one would know it.
1/3 4:31 PM Chapter 172 Ruby smiled and put her backpack on.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from behind.
Then, there were some soft voices.
âIt seems that... we are here!â A joyful voice rang out. In the next second, several figures suddenly appeared in front of Ruby.
The young man in the lead was wearing a black coat. He looked handsome and cold.
It was Hendrick.
Behind him, there were about seven or eight people.
These people, including Roxanne, formed a team with Hendrick.
Under the leadership of Hendrick, they had just arrived at the cave where the gem was placed.
Unexpectedly, someone was faster than them.
A boy in Hendrickâs team saw Ruby standing in the center. He couldnât help but ask in surprise, âYou... Why are you here?â
After all, Ruby was notoriously weak.
There was no way she could be faster than them.
Hendrick looked at Ruby quietly as if sizing her up.
ãããã After a moment of silence, he asked coldly, âWhere is Oneida?â
He remembered that Ruby had formed a team with Oneida.
Now that Ruby was there, he didnât see Oneida.
He thought something was amiss.
Ruby didnât look guilty at all. She was very good at disguising.
G âIâI donât know...â Ruby looked down and murmured, looking a little sad. âI was with Oneida and Matthias, but we were separated in the fog, so I had to find the gem alone... And I arrived here by accident...â
âYouâre so lucky!â Someone sighed in surprise. âAre you the chosen one? Youâre the first to get to the destination... by accident.â
Ruby curled her lips in disappointment. âI donât want this luck... I wonder what happened to Oneida...â
Hendrick stared at Ruby coldly and observed her expression carefully.
It seemed that he was thinking about the authenticity of her words.
He thought with Oneidaâs ability, even if she was separated from Ruby, she should have arrived at this cave by then.
However, Oneida didnât show up.
Only Ruby was there.
Just then, Ruby pointed to the gem on the stone table and suggested softly, âHurry up and get the gem.â
Everyoneâs attention was instantly distracted.
They all looked at the gem.
âWow, these gems are so beautiful!â Some girls couldnât help but sigh when they saw the gems.
âBut there are only a few big gemstones... How should we distribute them?â Some of them immediately thought of the problem of gem distribution.
The big gem that represented high scores was very rare, but there were seven or eight people on Hendrickâs team.
They were faced with the same problem that Oneidaâs team had faced previouslyâto whom should this big gem belong?
2/3 4:31 PM Chapter 172 Hendrick glanced at the gem and saw the clue.
âPlease donât pick the gems in a hurry.â The young manâs cold voice sounded in the quiet space. âThere are only a few big gems. Mr. Lawson set this up most likely to make us have conflict. Therefore, we must not have internal conflicts.â
âThe reward you get should equal your contribution.â Hendrick looked at everyone coldly. âI have seen everyoneâs efforts all the way, so whoever did more will pick a gem first... Do you all have any objections?â
âOf course not,â Roxanne replied first. âCaptain Quinlan should be the first to choose.â
Hearing that, everyone immediately agreed, saying, âThatâs right! Captain Quinlan has been leading us here. He should choose first.â
âI agree too.â
âHendrick is the one who contributed the most.â
Upon hearing that, Hendrick didnât say anything more.
He didnât refuse and went to pick the gem first.
Undoubtedly, he chose the biggest one among the remaining gems.
The next order was decided by Hendrick according to everyoneâs performance along the way.
Ruby looked at them from the side, and a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes.
âWhat a united and harmonious team!â
She couldnât agree with what they were doing.
Since she was there, she had to leave with the biggest gem.
She thought it was ridiculous and pitiful for these idiots to give the biggest gem to Hendrick.
After choosing the gem, everyone was ready to return.
âCan I go with you all?â Ruby asked nervously with strong expectations in her eyes.
âWhatever,â Hendrick answered coldly before he turned around and left.
Ruby glanced at him gratefully and followed everyone.
