Michael clicked his tongue again.
Meanwhile, the moment they left the site, Moss started grumbling. “The captain is so damn harsh. We barely had
enough to eat, and now he’s taken even more?”
“This place is nothing but traps,” Riley muttered with a sigh. “I really miss home.”
The rest joined in with collective sighs of their own.
Of them all, Trent had managed to hang on to the most food.

The realization hit like a punch to the gut. Everyone's morale instantly sank. Greta and Moss vented all their
frustrations out on Ellis. They had no idea that inside the rest tent, Michael and Ellis heard every single word.
Michael let out a soft laugh. “Freya and Trent really have you figured out.”
“Knowing too much just makes them harder to deceive,” Ellis murmured, eyes fixed on the screen in front of him,
already calculating his next move.

“They'll adapt after breaking a few more times,” Ellis replied with cold indifference.

Ellis replied lazily, his voice laced with amusement born of their long-standing closeness, “Better to get conned
bythan be chewed up out in the real world.”
Michael fell silent again. He wanted to argue—but couldn’t. The logic was too solid.
