"Thank you very much for your assistance. We really do not know how to repay your generosity. If it were not for you, we would be dead right now."
There are three people present inside a hollow tree. It is Sam and the two girls he saved earlier.
He was meditating just a few minutes ago. But then he senses the presence of the Monsters and the two girls. He decided to save them and bring them into the hiding place.
Both girls' conditions have stabilized. The healing potions were extremely helpful in stabilizing their situation.
Both of them are deeply grateful to Sam. However, Sam is not thinking about it. Instead, he is thinking about something else.
'How did both of them arrive here? I really did not expect to meet Lisa's cousin.
In the main story, I do not think her cousin is in any danger. If I am not mistaken, she is very close to her cousin, and anything that happens to her will undoubtedly have an impact.
More importantly, Mira will be a key figure in the upcoming Monster invasion. Her sacrifice will play an important role in Lisa's rise to power.
Is this due to the butterfly effect? I have also gained 800 Fate Points. Clearly, this is another significant change in the story.
Sigh, I am not sure if all of this major change is for the better or worse.'
Sam has already recognised the girl with pink hair. She is Mira Radus, Lisa Radus' cousin.
Mira does not belong to the main family, but she has a close relationship with Lisa. In the main story, her sacrifice has a significant impact on Lisa.
But why does she have to face such danger? Also, why is she only with the other girl?
Sam had all of these questions, but he did not show his face. Instead, he chose to ask them directly about their situation.
"What happened with you and your teammates? I do not think both of you entered the danger zone on your own."
When the girls heard the question, they both looked down. There is a gloomy atmosphere created there.
'Definitely something happened to her teammates. Did they perish?'
Looking at their expression, Sam knew something had happened to their teammates.
"They betrayed us. To save their own lives, they sacrifice us."
Mira fell silent after she finished speaking. Her voice already carries a sense of pain. She was not sure how to explain what had happened earlier.
After considering Mira's situation, the girl beside her decides to tell her what happened.
"I sincerely thank you for your assistance. My name is Irena Kaus, and she is Mira Radus. My friend and I were part of a group of fifteen.
One hour ago, we came across a group of Golems inside a cave. We enter the cave to use as a safe haven and reclaim our power. We never expected to meet those Monsters in that way.
We gave it our all, but in the end we realized those Monsters were extremely powerful, and we had no other option but to flee for our lives.
But who could have predicted that we would run into another group of Monsters right away?
Mira protects us all at this time by using her life-saving artifact. Unfortunately, at the time, we did not expect our team to betray us.
Mira had used an artifact that required two people to activate. Mira and I take the lead in activating the artifact. That artifact formed a barrier around us.
But we never expected our teammates to attack us and push us beyond the barrier.
Outside the barrier, you can easily pass, but entering it is more difficult. In addition, after activating the barrier, the owner is not required to remain inside.
Mira does not need to stay inside to keep the barrier intact. Those people pushed us outside the barrier when we were depleted of spiritual energy and completely exhausted.
I-It just was luck to select a team like that who can betray you to save your life. As you can tell, they wanted us to draw the monsters' attention so they could flee the area.
In that situation, we do not have much choice but to flee for our lives. We have no idea what happened to those people after that."
Irene describes what happened to her and Mira. She experiences pain simply thinking about those people. This is understandable, given that she considered them close friends. It is natural to be hurt when close friends betray you in this way.
Sam is taken aback after hearing that. There was no mention of such a betrayal in the main story.
"Did you not try to contact the Warriors Association? Even if they needed time to appear here, they could have at least added those people's names to the blacklist.
Apart from that, did those people not fear the Radus family? After all, Miss Mira is a member of that family, and betraying her means turning the Radus family against you."
"Sigh, I am not sure what happened, but I have already attempted to contact the Warrior Association. Unfortunately, the connection did not work.
It is possible that my communication device malfunctioned. As you can see, we do not have anyone to help us in that situation.
Also, Mira is not a member of the main family. I am not sure if you are aware, but people from branch families did not have the same facilities as the main family.
Even if the main family found out she died inside the danger zone, they would simply conceal the information. Also, because she is from the branch family, those people can get away with only money or resources."
After saying all of this, Irena fell silent. Mira remained silent throughout the entire time, only looking downward.
Sam, on the other hand, is left speechless. Who could have expected this kind of treatment for the Radus family branch?
'I should not be surprised. This is not my previous planet. Everything here is determined by your abilities and achievements.
If you have low potential, your treatment will look like this. Sigh, there is no way to change these people's mindset.'
