nJeremy used one hand to place on the wall as a support while using another hand to cover his chest, the place where he was kicked on.

nAt this time, some people within the room couldn't withstand the current whimsical atmosphere anymore...

n

"Yeah, I also think there must be some misunderstanding between the two of you. How about we talk this out slowly and clearly?

" Morgan, who stood in the middle between Kahn and Jeremy, spoke up with a somewhat disturbed tone of voice.

nIt couldn't be helped that everyone else except for Kahn, the tutorial's organizer, to feel that there must be a misunderstanding between the two.

nAfter all, Kahn was the only person within this camp who knew about the System's mechanisms.

nAt the end of the day, Kahn was the only one who knew where everyone was supposed to be teleported to, and he was also the only one who knew about how Ortus worked.

nWhich meant...

nFor Kahn, Jeremy's existence was akin to an anomaly, who had come out of nowhere to disrupt the ongoing battle between the two camps...

nFor others, Jeremy appeared to be just an ordinary good samaritan, whom was accused wrongly by their camp's leader, no less...

nSo, the opinions were divided, and the majority was undoubtedly favored towards Jeremy...

n*Sigh...*

nKahn promptly sighed after his head cooled down a bit as he had felt really offended by Jeremy's words and behaviors earlier.

nNow, after the matter had gradually escalated into this, Kahn could only settle his rageful emotion down first before thinking carefully about his following actions.

nSoon, Kahn fell into deep thought with a slight frown between his eyebrows,

n'I am reigning these people with fear and authority, so I cannot kill the seemingly innocent man or other people here, whom had just come back from a scout mission, or else I will lose even more trust from other people within the camp. Then, if those people lose even more faith in me and don't listen to me anymore, we will lose to the kenkus for sure...'

n'If that happens, sir Yuriy will skin me alive for making him lose the bet... Fucking damn it!'

n'Calm down... I'm a water mage; I ought to feel calm like water, not hot-blooded like those fire dudes. First of all, let me rearrange his background...'

n'The man has come out of nowhere... He is stronger than a normal human by quite a degree, capable of receiving my half-forced kick directly on his chest... Morgan also told me that the man had finished the tenth wave with no other survivor... Then he has managed to survive three days within the dangerous forest...'

n'He either has heaven-defying luck, or he is a real deal. However, considering his toughness and evasive skills, he must have some decent fighting and physical capabilities, but not stronger than ordinary people by much...'

n'Furthermore, It looks like he should have an ulterior motive for helping out the scout team at that exact moment as it shouldn't be some random coincidences happening out of nowhere...'

n'From those factors combined... This man, Tommy Samson, is not normal in the least. But only I, who knows about how the Tutorial and the System operate, realize about the strangenesses and enigmas enshrouding around the man's existence...'

n'These ignorant people don't know a **ing thing! And my **ing life is on the line here, so I have to be careful...'

nAfter thinking until here, Kahn sighed lightly before continuing his thought with a depressed manner,

n'What should I do with this hell of an anomalous guy named Tommy Samson?'

n'Is there a way to verify the man's identity? Should I just kill him later on when no one is around?'

n'That seems to be a good idea... Oh, wait! I can let him do that!'

nHaving finished his long thought, Kahn's eyes lit up with a profound idea as he swept his gaze around the crowded guest room.

nAt this moment, everyone was looking at Kahn strangely as the latter had been silent for some seconds.

nRight when Morgan decided to open his mouth to talk this out, Kahn's voice was suddenly heard within the quiet room,

n

"As you had said earlier, I might have misunderstood something...

"

nWith everyone's attention was all on him, Kahn paused briefly before continuing,

n

"However, Tommy's background is still too obscure for us to skip. We also have no way to check his authenticity as he had said that everyone from his first stage was dead. Am I right?

"

n

"Well...

"

n

"You do have a point, but...

"

nBefore others could speak or disagree with his thought any further, Kahn raised his volume for a notch,

n

"So, when such a suspicious guy has popped up out of nowhere, as this camp's leader, I cannot let something like this slide by. After all, it might risk other people's lives later on...

n

"...

"

n

"...

"

nAfter hearing Kahn talking about 'as this camp's leader', everyone could only keep quiet despite still being skeptical of Kahn's words as they feared the man to fare up again.

nAt this moment, a bloody scene of Kahn killing three people with one keen strike suddenly popped up within their minds.

nAfter all, three days ago, the man, Kahn, had proposed himself as the camp's leader, but of course, he was opposed by most people within the camp as they couldn't just let a random guy become their leader.

nTo everyone's shock, Kahn had surprised everyone with his unmatched fighting prowess, and he even killed many people whom had opposed him in the past three days.

nMost people within the camp felt dissatisfied with Kahn's approach to controlling them; some even loathed him to the marrowbone for killing their friends.

nHowever, for the sake of survival and no more conflict, most people decided to accept Kahn's leadership.

nStill, such a leadership filled with fear and dictation was too fragile...

nEveryone only listened to Kahn partially for the sake of their survival, but within their minds were filled with dissatisfaction and disgruntlement.

nAt this moment, they knew that Kahn must have a proposal within his mind for him to talk this much. So, everyone decided to wait for the man's following words...

nUpon seeing everyone having no objection to his words, Kahn continued his piece,

n

"I want you, Tommy, to show everyone your Status Window to prove your innocent and identity. If you can do that, I will not pursue the matter any further, and you will be able to live here like everyone else.

"

n

"This is my last stand!

"

nKahn finished his speech with a cold tone and narrowed eyes.
