Chapter 324 Third Party

Mary facepalmed when the injured soldier attempted to lie to their face, but did it in a very pathetic way.

Only a fool would believe his words!

Military training drill gone wrong? What kind of dumb and hilarious joke was that?

Even the normally naive Vanessa rolled her eyes in exasperation. If possible, she wanted to undo her earthy vine and let the injured soldier bleed some more. Maybe he had too much bad blood that caused him to act so retardedly. "Should we just let him die and rot here?" Vanessa turned to Mary and asked, ignoring the fact that her words could be heard by the injured soldier.

Mary seemed to be in serious thought, contemplating Vanessa's suggestion.

And the injured soldier who noticed this became wary but was more prone toward frightened. At the end of the day, no one wished to die, not especially when they knew they could live.

"You know what, Vanessa. You're right, why did we waste our resources on him? It's not even our problem in the first place." Mary shrugged her shoulders and exclaimed, pretending to agree with Vanessa.

Naturally, Vanessa understood what Mary was trying to do.

So without hesitation, she slowly retracted some of her earthy vine, prompting the injured soldier to instantly feel some of the pain due to the vine being removed slowly.

"W-Wait a second," The injured soldier raised his hand, his expression filled with panic. He had just got some recovery and was not suitable to sustain any more injuries, let alone bleeding again.

"What is it?" Both Mary and Vanessa turned their attention to the injured soldier, seemingly annoyed.

Realizing he was not in the advantage of concealing information if he wanted to live, plus the fact that the matter was going to be revealed anyway.

The injured soldier chose to reveal what was going on. After all, a war among the military commanders wouldn't be a secret for much longer, no matter how hard they tried to suppress it.

Coughing a few times thanks to the injuries, the injured soldier began to explain the situation to them.

"Cough, Commander Phoebe was collaborating with Theobold to scheme against us, and our commander realized it. The commander then ordered us to strike against her in suspicion that she was planning something nefarious. But little did we expect, Commander Phoebe was prepared all along and managed to counterattack decisively."

"Hmm, I've heard that Commander Benedict was always referred to as Egg Benedict because of his intelligence, but I didn't expect him to actually try to fight Commander Phoebe." Mary was somewhat in disbelief.

Just what kind of mess were these military commanders creating?

Instead of being progressive in actually helping to suppress the monster waves. They were all trying to take advantage of it and wished to achieve their own selfish goal.

It was no wonder Mary could care less if Gearits City would turn into ruin.

The same goes for Vanessa, who can't fathom why someone would want to ruin their own city when there aren't many human cities left in this broken and torn world.

Mary was now continuing her role as a medic because of the revelation, couldn't help but interject with a hint of sarcasm, "So, they decided to have a little showdown in the middle of a deadly monster wave? How charming."

Vanessa, her exasperation somewhat transformed into a kind of morbid curiosity, chimed in, "It's like a soap opera, except with more blood and less romance."

The injured soldier's face turned bright red, seemingly embarrassed by their sarcasm and comparison of their actions being equivalent to a soap opera drama.

"Anyway, the injured soldier can be carried with your magicule, Vanessa." Mary packaged everything else back into the medical kit. "Now that we have unwillingly become a third party to their conflict, we might as well intervene to stop them."

Although confused as to why Mary would offer to take the initiative of helping someone, Vanessa gradually maneuvered her magicule, lifting the injured soldier up with the earthy vine.

With the earthy vine carrying the injured soldier, he was soon carried as if he were a baby, albeit much rougher and worse than a baby carrier.

"Can you be a bit more gentle with the earthy vine?" The injured soldier smiled bitterly and asked nicely.

Unfortunately, Vanessa turned around and glared at him. "Are you going to pay me for the service?"

"P-Pay you?"

"See, since you're not paying me, then why should I be gentle with you. It's not like I know you well. Plus, you should be grateful that I'm even doing this." Vanessa snorted, turning around and snapping her finger, slowing down the movement of the earthy vine traveling.

With that said, the injured soldier could only hold a gloomy experience as he endured this rough and slow journey to the Iron Sentinel.

Meanwhile, Mary held a dumbfounded expression as she looked at her.

With her knowledge of Vanessa, it was clear that she was rich, so why did she just speak like a poor person would do? That was a stark contrast to her status and identity.

"When did you become money-hungry?" Mary asked confusingly.

"Isn't it all thanks to that irritating Nathan?" Vanessa clicked her tongue and responded. "Back then, I was injured similar to that soldier. And that Nathan was one heartless piece of shit, who capitalized on that to rob me clean."

"Rob you clean?" Astonished, Mary glanced at her up and down, clearly mistaken by the implication.

Covering her chest area with her arm quickly, Vanessa was embarrassed by Mary's misunderstanding.

"No– not that kind of rob clean. I mean he robbed my wallet clean for treatment." She hurriedly clarified, though her face was still beet red, having recalled that she had once stripped naked for Shi Tian to treat her wounds.

Just remembering that incident made her completely bashful and shameful.

Although Vanessa's face was covered with a mask, Mary could sense that Vanessa was unusual. 𝑓𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝑚

'Huh, maybe there was something that happened. She's too suspicious.' Mary thought to herself, her curiosity getting the best of her as she wished to figure it out.
