The twins glanced at the struggling guy, who was drowning, but they didn't care. "Don't let him breathe for even a second," said the younger of the two. The servant shoved the man's head farther into the bucket.
The man struggled to stand up, but the servant's hands were like Iron, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't even budge it slightly.
The young twin grinned at the sight of the man's suffering and went to his brother, who was sitting on a big black boulder, drawing on its moss-covered surface with a stick, and said, "Brother, with this one, we only need one more."
"I see," Li Wei absentmindedly replied.
Li Hai curiously climbed the boulder and looked at what his brother drew; his blue pupils constricted, "Is that for real, brother?"
"Yes," he clicked the boulder with the stick, right on the point south, "Me, Elijah, and you were the first to arrive on this Island," Li Wei paused for a second and then looked straight up at his brother's eyes, his veins bulging in anger, "Yet, some bastards have already taken two of the Glues, the ones in the north had also been claimed."
They were supposed to be his.
Li Hai went silent, then remarked rather dejectedly, "The Mang family is too strong, those demonic bastards," silent, he then glanced northwards, the forest stretching in his view, but it was too far away for his eyes to penetrate.
"I even heard a beast settlement and some runaway Wumas are living there. To get them in mere 3 hours, this one must be a Monster among even the Mang lineage."
"It's Mang Ra," Li Wei clenched his hands around the stick as he said the name, his face darkening slightly.
"That…Mang Ra?" Li Hai asked with hesitation, "We are going to compete against him?" he could feel his heart trembling.
Li Wei's face darkened more, he glared at Li Hai and coldly asked, "What? Are you saying I'm below him?"
Li Hai's heart skipped a beat, "No, Brother—"
Li Wei just glared at him, and Li Hai… stopped speaking.
Gulping, he looked towards the side at the servant and the man — the Glue — in the distance, then said, "Brother, we at least have one Glue for you."
His brother just looked back at his drawings for a second, turned northwards, then said, his voice deep and foreboding: "Mang, Iron Cult, us Li, the Oberion Family … I don't care who gets the Glues, but I, I will not use it with only one my dear brother," he smiled and focused on Hai's face, directly on the blue eyes that reflected his own, "I don't care if you don't get any, and I certainly don't care if you die, you get me one more…even if that costs your life. Understand?"
Li Hai looked at his brother's face, the same brown color as his, the same black hair as his, the same blue eyes as his, 'Yet… we are so different,' he lowered his head, his eyes ever so slightly moist.
His hands clenched.
He had expected too much out of the family again.
And finally,
Am I… going to die this time?
Li Wei turned Northwards, then said in a calm tone, "I know one thing coming here, and that is, unlike the rest of them, we have two people, and I believe the Ancestor of Everhart shouldn't interfere if someone wants to take the Glue inside… after all, it is unlikely that a member of their family is the Glue, It should just be some servant."
Li Hai nodded, his teeth weakly clenched.
Yet, Li Wei didn't care and looked at his drawing, drew a straight line from the south to the center on the moss-covered boulder with the stick in his hands, and said with an interested tone, "North the Mang, South us, West the Iron Cult, East the Oberion… all fighting for the last Glue… which of them do you think will reach it first? No, which of us do you think will catch it first?"
Li Hai's heart skipped a beat.
the man being drowned took his last breath and died, drowning.
The servant loosened his grip.
