Chapter 2126 The Poisonous Snowy Mist

“They’re already suspicious?”

Quintus looked puzzled. “No way. Our disguises and performance were flawless. Who could’ve slipped up?”

Seeing him still so clueless, even looking back at the others as if to shift the blame, Magnus could hold his tongue, but Solana–a fiery–tempered ally–couldn’t. She lashed out, exclaiming, “Who else? Obviously, it’s you, the leader of this circus!”

“Me?*

Quintus pointed to himself, looking genuinely innocent.

“Are you that dense? Do Five Poison Sect members ever praise their leader the way you just did? And don’t even get me started on how you were bragging about yourself!”

Solana spat at him, mockingly repeating, “A man of unmatched valor and strength,’ seriously?”

“Well, I wasn’t wrong about that!”

Quintus scratched the back of his head sheepishly and finally laughed. He turned to Magnus. “Alright, Chief Strategist. What now?“,

Magnus analyzed calmly. “They let us in on purpose. They’re planning something. We need to halt immediately.”

“Halt?”

Quintus frowned, clearly perplexed.

The others, too, were curious about what plan Magnus had in mind this time.

Solana, in particular, had no strong feelings about him at first. But after seeing him repeatedly help Mackenzie retrieve treasures and offer brilliant strategies that felt almost like foresight, she couldn’t help but admire him.

Now, the moment Magnus spoke, her eyes lit up with anticipation. Unlike Claudette, she had a thing for brainiacs.

Magnus reached into his coat and pulled out a tablet. Bringing up a map, he explained, “These are aerial images I captured using a satellite before coming in. Aside from areas blocked by dense jungle, I’ve got most of the details mapped out.”

“You’re something else, man!”

Quintus looked at the photos and couldn’t help but praise Magnus. Even he, with all his experience, couldn’t have captured such images.

“Of course he is! Otherwise, how could we expect a guy like you, all brawn and no brains, to lead us in these complicated battles?”

Salona couldn’t resist firing back at Quintus.
