Chapter 153 - Disagreement

David shook his head decisively. "Don't you worry, I didn't choose this because of you guys. I have some use for it, that's why I took it. As for the Microchip, I have no need for that." David casually stated.

Fergus only agreed after some words of persuasion from David.

And then he distributed the chips to his fellow teammates. He gave the ultrasound micro chips to Clover. A choice which David thought was stupid. But when he recollected how reliable Clover had been during the fight, his doubt cleared away slightly.

Fergus then placed the other chips at the hands of one of the other two boys, Dagrin.

David nodded his head slightly. It seems he hadn't been by love yet. He had thought he would give the other chip to April without hesitation, but Fergus seem to be a very rational person.

Clapping his hands, Fergus spoke "Okay! Clover and Dagrin, quickly accept the algorithm from the Microchips and throw away the chips when you are done, while we get out of here as fast as possible."

"Okay!" both Clover and Dagrin responded firmly, and they placed the chips they had collect on their wrist. Allowing for their AI to copy the information contained within.

After a while, when they were some with the process, both of the male students crushed the Microchips with their hands and it instantly crumbled into dust.

If they took the chips with them, others might be able to track them using some type of gadget and things might just get nasty anyways. And although the possibility was extremely low, Fergus was still very cautious, so he asked them to destroy the chips while they were finished installing it.

The Microchip would be useless anyways once an AI Installs the codes that had been placed and written in the chip.

Then he looked towards. He asked with his eyes in slight hope. "Do you want to continue fighting with us?"

"From what I observed during our fights early, your speed seem to be greater than the dive of us combined which means, your Exercising Method and your combat technique focuses on speed."

"You should join us, things will be quite easier with you sweeping in to open the supply swiftly. That way, we won't have to risk our lives to kill the beast since we can only evade them."

Fergus smiled as he explained the critical role he had planned for David.

"Nah, for some reason, I like being alone. Not much of a group guy since it makes me want to cringe."

But David didn't even give it a single thought and he immediately rejected the invitation.

Changing the topic from that, David asked "Are you not going to put on the Sky Walker?" David pointed at the gadget that was still hooked on Fergus's finger.

Fergus immediately shook his head. "Not while still in this competition. If I put them on now, it will simply incur the jealousy of the other students we might meet on the road, so I'd rather not wear it throughout the event." Fergus placed the boots inside his backpack.

David nodded his head slightly at Fergus's concern. He seems this guy isn't too stupid after all. David had been a bit, a little bit worried since that seem to trusting of strangers but he was glad that they were at least aware of the situation at hand.

Students participate in this lawless event might kill each other for just 1000 Gyno points. Who knows what would happen if they saw the Sky Cruiser which is worth more than 10,000 Gyno points back in the institute.

Waving his hands at Clover, and then nodding his head at Fergus and the team, while stealing a glance at April who still had some sort of resentment towards him for some reason.

"I will take the backpack though. Alright guys, this is goodbye. I will see you later." David casually took the backpack still on the floor but didn't immediately swap his things into the large backpack yet.

Revolving his blood, David stomped his feet and he vanished into the dense forest under the gazes of the reluctant Clover and the team.

"Does he not trust us yet?" Clover muttered sadly.

"No, he is been too careful, and that's how it was supposed to be." Olamide mentioned with a cool expression on his face.

"Or maybe he just likes being alone." April chimed in.

"No one likes being alone sweetie, me especially." Fergus took his eyes off the distance and he gazed into April's eyes with a smile that also seems to not be a smile and some fire which seem to be in his eyes.

April blushed slightly and she evaded his gaze with a smile on her face while she whispered in a small tone "You are not alone, I will always be with you."

The rest of the team whistled with a laugh aat their display of affection, it seems they are already used to the situation.

Phyllida sat expressionlessly on a luxurious looking chair, tapping her hands softly on the handle as she appeared deep in thoughts.

"Big sis, we have offered them the invitation and even stated the rewards you mentioned to them but they refused." A clan member spoke out softly as he stood before Phyllida, not daring to look her straight in the eye.

"Lu Feng and Janeane refused the invitation to work with us which means almost half of the people on the Rankings List refuses to give up." Phyllida speculated.

"If they continue to refuse our invitation, other students that had accepted would feel quite insecure and may even refuse to work with us as they claim that you are not reliable enough."

Pursing her lips slightly, Phyllida muttered. "It seems they don't fully understand the power of having a combat suit in one's possession."

"And I will have to change their minds on that as soon as possible." Phyllida let out an evil smirk as she stated to the one before her.

"Located the position of those who had rejected the request. Since they value their pride too much to work under me, I will have to crush that pride of theirs anyways."

"Okay sis. But what about the other students who seem foreign?" the guy hesitated to ask but he still asked.

Phyllida squinted her eyes as she remembered Aella, Droxford and some other foreign faces she had seen. This guys made her worried they most but she knew she could really mess with them.

"Just leave them be, we don't want to fall out of favour with them at this critical stage." Phyllida stated after some thoughts.

"Okay then, I will go scout the location of those people now." He said and he took his leave.

After about a minute, Phyllida turned her heads to the side. There, three guys were sitting expressionlessly on an empty sit while tapping on their holographic image like it's no body's business.

Phyllida curled her lips and she said. "You can voice out your disagreement, no need to be careful with me. I won't hurt you as we are all clan members right?"

Slamming down in his palm, the holographic image on his wrist instantly dissipated into countless bits of lights and they disappeared.

Phyllida smiled further upon seeing that action.

Brogan had a dissatisfied expression on his face "Why can't we just dominate the enter Stronghold? With that kind of power in our hands, placing first in the competition will become a simple matter."

He then sneered as he mocked. "But you seem particularly scared of those strange students. If that is so, then you don't deserve to wear the Combat suit. You should give it to someone who would showcase the prowess and might of the Combat suit not someone who would just sit still, doing nothing."

Phyllida suddenly snickered "You mean someone like me right? "

Brogan only grunted but refused to reply.

"Do you know why the clan leader gave the authority to command our clan member and refused to hand that over to you?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Brogans eye twitched softly and it appears that Phyllida had touched one of his delicate spot.

"It's because of this reckless behaviour of your. Your inability to think further into things made the clan leader think twice about granting the position to his own son." Phyllida mocked.

Brogan's face instantly darkened and he clenched his fist in anger. "Do not bring that up, that is not what I was talking about!" Brogan stated with gritted teeth while his clenched fist instantly shattered the wooden handle into pieces.

Clapping her hands softly, Phyllida giggled "What? You want to fight me? You should know that with the Combat Suit on me, I am almost three times stronger than you."

"I would like to remind you that a father would not truly ignore his own son. You position is only temporary, and we will see how you will fare in the future once I have been granted this power." With that statement, Brogan left the building with raging fury.

The other students that were in the room had long since quietened down, as they did not dare to breath loudly just in case brogan notices them and takes his anger out in them.
