I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 422 - 80: Estrangement

"I am the master of the camp, and a competent... wise leader doesn't need any compliments from followers, I can do everything on my own, if you don't want to follow, that's your loss!"

"I don't care if you stand by me or not, I don't care about your thoughts at all... The thoughts of anyone besides me are meaningless... I don't care about those either."

Saying this, Mokaka directly opened the barrier of the camp.

"I know the reason you want to leave is because you don't trust my music, and you're afraid of that Buddha statue, thinking that gathering together will eventually spell doom."

"But it doesn't matter."

"You will eventually understand that only I can save you."

Mokaka whispered harshly.

But clearly, for those civilians who had already made up their minds to leave, it held no deterrent power at all.

The majority didn't even glance at Mokaka again before turning around and leaving.

Those who had benefited from the girl were a little better, saying a soft goodbye to Mokaka before leaving.

But other than that, there were no further actions.

The originally noisy and lively camp suddenly became much quieter.

Looking at the mess around her, Mokaka clenched her fists, unable to restrain the nameless fire in her heart.

It was the first time she was so angry, even the emoji on her headphone screen was twisted with rage.

But little could she expect that the departure of the civilians was just the beginning.

As she watched the civilians leave one by one, Mokaka's guards also started to feel uneasy.

Several Apprentice Death Gods first stood up, leaving their original posts, and headed towards the gate without turning back.

Then, the Mercenaries followed suit...

In an instant, the guards around Mokaka were all gone.

"What are you doing?"

Mokaka's pupils shrank slightly, and she asked instinctively, "Come back, I, as your employer, order you to return..."

"Save your strength, young lady."

A young Apprentice Death God said without looking back, "It's too late for that act."

"We're not like those country bumpkin prisoners; we know what that statue is... That's an Alef Creature, not something a little girl like you can handle. Even if the Personal Guard of the Hugo Clan came, they couldn't deal with it."

"The only chance for survival is to scatter and run until the Alef Creature vanishes completely."

"Staying here will only get us sliced to pieces bit by bit..."

"Though the hiring fee you pay is high, it's not worth our lives." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Saying this, the Apprentice Death God fished in his pocket, took out an employment contract, and threw it in front of Mokaka at random.

"Look carefully, the contract clearly states that if faced with unsolvable life-threatening danger, we have the right to disobey, and the employment contract is considered automatically terminated."

"Stop posing as a young lady everywhere, commanding us; you don't have the ability to solve problems on your own."

"We would advise you..."

The young Death God paused slightly, then said meaningfully, "Sometimes, people tend to misjudge their abilities, treating family resources and inherited wealth as part of their own capability, leading to arrogance."

"If you really want to be a leader, to become the person of your dreams, the first thing you should do is drop the young lady act and treat others as equals."

"Honestly, I really dislike your father, Caliduo Hugo; his Hugo Pharmaceutical used some dirty tactics in their expansion, but I must admit, in dealing with people, he never acted superior; so, you'd better learn from him."

"Sigh..."

Saying this, the young Death God sighed softly and shook his head helplessly, "Talking about this at such a time is already meaningless."

"Under the Lotus Platform of the Karma Remnant Buddha, our chances of survival are less than one in ten thousand. What's the point of talking about growth?"

"Everyone should just seek their own fortune."

When he finished speaking, the young Death God disappeared into the night.

And the other guards also left silently, leaving no complaints behind, only thinking about how to keep themselves alive.

Just now, the Karma Remnant Buddha had again crossed the forest area.

A small group of Apprentice Death Gods had gathered together, cornered by the Buddha, and desperate enough to launch an attack on the Lotus Platform.

But they hadn't even gotten close before being sliced to pieces by the Immeasurable Calamity.

In the face of the Alef Creatures, resistance was meaningless; gathering only brought death faster.

As the young Death God said, to survive, they had to hide separately.

"..."

Mokaka slumped on the sofa, her eyes swollen involuntarily.

If the departure of the civilians made Mokaka feel unprecedented anger, now the departure of the guards brought her a sense of humiliation... and helplessness.

She wanted to refute it, but upon careful consideration, it seemed there was nothing wrong with what the young man said.

But the girl was unwilling to admit it; ever since she could remember, she was the pride of her parents, who completely outshone peers in talents and appearance.

She would not admit she was wrong... Even when the facts were laid before her, she was unwilling to face her own "incompetence."

"Lord Mokaka..."

In the end, only Tian En still stood by Mokaka's side.

No matter that Mokaka's "true face" was long exposed, no matter that she was now betrayed by everyone, this young girl Tian En still did not leave her.

"If you need, I will help you think of a way; I can help you a bit too..."

Tian En tentatively said, trying to comfort Mokaka.

But how could a girl in a rage hear this?

Earlier, that young Death God said she was "useless," and now Tian En's words, though meant to help, seemed to Mokaka as dismissing her incompetence.

Her ideal image was that of an independent "perfect leader" needing no help from others.

But now Tian En said she needed help, which, in another sense, implied she was indeed incompetent, didn't it?

This directly hit Mokaka's sore spot.

So, she lowered her voice and spoke in a tone almost like a hiss...

"I don't need it! I don't need Tian En's help... you're dissatisfied with me too, you're also complaining about my incompetence, right?"

"Go away... just go away!"

By now, Mokaka was somewhat speaking without thinking, only considering her own thoughts, completely unaware of what her words meant to Tian En.

"You're just my subordinate, you have no right to interfere with my decisions... or criticize me!"

"I don't need people who won't listen to me!"
