Kayla smiled, but the determination on her face was no joke, her eyes conveying an irrefutable intent.
Lyle glanced at the giant bear in front of the cave, realizing it was time for a life-or-death fight.
"By any means necessary, achieve the goal. That's the rule of the jungle. We won't assist you, nor will we retrieve your body after you're dead. Fight for survival, Lyle."
Lyle pondered the meaning of these words, then an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, "So, if I trick that bear into coming out in front of you guys, forcing you into combat, that would still meet the requirements, right?"
Kayla laughed gleefully, and those once seemingly small and cute canine teeth now gleamed chillingly, "Of course that satisfies the rules. Any method is acceptable. Just remember, Lyle, you might find some things much harder than you think."
"As a word of advice from your friend, facing me will be far more difficult than facing that bear."
