Chapman scoffed and said, "It looks like you don't know anything about this at all. I'll start from the beginning,
then.."
The day before, after Maxcus left the two of them, they immediately used the transmission arrays to relay the news
to everyone they knew.
After that, the news started to spread, and within an hour, most of the participants already knew about the cruel
plan organized by the warriors at the peak.
The fact that they were targets of such a cruel plan triggered everyone's anger. Some started to talk about how
they would fightback, but the sentiments quickly disappeared when a different piece of news was broadcasted.
The warriors at the peak, Desmond and Seymour, were gathering Heartblood. Each person's Heartblood would be

The moment Toman Battlefield ended, which was the seventh day after they entered, the participants could bring
the Heartblood they collected to Phoenix Valley and exchange it with the two of them.
To prevent too many people from appearing there and making the process too convoluted, they decided to
introduce a barrier.
Only those with the Heartblood of 50 people and more would be able to make exchanges with them.
Those with too few Heartblood could sell theirs to others. After that, the participants who managed to accumulate
50 people's worth of Heartblood would exchange it with them. It would save a lot of trouble and effort.
When they were making the deals, those who had a lot of Heartblood could make money by buying Heartblood at a
lower price.
The moment the news started to spread, the alliance they had crumbled, and all that righteous anger more or less
disappeared.
Lourain gaped for a long time after he heard that.
It took him a while before he said, "This method is sinister. Not only did they solve their problem, but they were
even causing us to kill each other. That way, they'll be able to collect the Heartblood to open the Radiant Hall!"
At that moment, Lourain finally understood what Jack meant before.
They truly had looked at things too simply. The participants were all just scattered. Just by pulling a small trick, their
temporary alliance completely crumbled.
Jack looked at Lourain. "They're pulling out all the stops for the Radiant Hall. How could they abandon the matter
just because news got out? They were definitely prepared. That's why I said you were looking at things too simply."
Lourain gritted his teeth. "Can't they tell that these people are coming from a sinister and evil point? They don't see
regular warriors as humans at all, yet everyone's rushing to be their mercenaries. It's just too stupid."

Jack sighed slightly. "This is human nature. For the sake of profits, they're willing to be ordered around. Just think
about it. Even if they do their best to kill a crimson demon, they'd be able to get just a bit over ten thousand. By
killing a single participant and getting their Heartblood, they'd get five hundred thousand. Comparing these two,
don't you think the choice is obvious?"
Lourain took a deep breath and felt quite miserable at that moment.
He had been a straight-laced person before and would rarely dwell on things. However, he felt like he had been
sighing a lot during the recent period. It was like everything he wanted to say was only able to come out as a sigh.
He could not do anything at all. He could not change anything.
Those people were led by the nose due to the intrigue of profits. Even after the truth was revealed to all of them,
those people were still willing to play along.
There was no point in saying anything in the end. All Lourain could do was just watch on.
