As for what the Traitor would do, it was unpredictable.
Because no one knew what task the Abyss would give the Traitor.
Lu Heng looked at the group of people peeling the Dragon Scales, pondering one question, who was the Traitor?
By the time the materials on the Purgatory Sub-Dragon's body had been mostly stripped away, some Superpower Users wanted to leave.
Lu Heng waved his hand, and a troop of Black Iron Dwarf Warriors brandishing weapons stepped forward, blocking the Superpower Users who wanted to leave.
"What do you mean by this?"
Lu Heng opened his mouth to resolve their confusion, "Everyone shouldn't have forgotten the first Challenge Task, right? Now we have the most people gathered, and nearly everyone who is alive is here, which means, the Traitor is definitely among us."
Wang Zhehan frowned and asked, "You still suspect us?"
Lu Heng shook his finger, correcting, "I suspect everyone, except for my team members. Likewise, you all trust only your own teams and suspect everyone else, don't you?"
This chain of suspicion was so delicate, with each team only trusting their own members.
Even among team members, there wasn't a one hundred percent guarantee of being suspicion-free.
After all, it was possible for individual members within a team to take on the Traitor Task.
Of course, even if such a situation arose, the team would definitely maintain trust internally first.
After all, people who weren't close enough couldn't possibly become a team.
As for being betrayed by a teammate later on, that's a different story.
The Superpower Users who were still peeling the Dragon Scales paused their hands when they heard Lu Heng and became vigilant.
"So, what do you want to do?" Wang Zhehan asked, frowning.
"Quite simple, please sit down and have a good talk, see if we can figure out who the Traitor is. I've asked the Dakville Leader to prepare the Debate Hall, please head over there now," said Lu Heng as he extended his hand, pointing toward the Debate Hall of Black Stone City.
The Debate Hall had been cleared out.
Outside the doors were the bloodstains and broken bricks and stones left from the battle, while inside the hall was spotless clean, even with some food and water set upon the long table.
After the retake of Black Stone City, the Black Iron Tribe would flourish anew.
And as a human, Lu Heng represented the greatest benefactor and ally of the Black Iron Tribe.
The Black Iron Tribe would naturally not skimp on this bit of water and food.
The Superpower Users present heard Lu Heng's proposal and had various thoughts.
After all, staying could potentially be dangerous.
If Lu Heng were to do as Charles Water had done before, killing people one by one until the Traitor Task was complete, whether they would survive solely depended on luck.
The Superpower Users here had already completed three Main Quests and two Challenge Tasks, with only the first Challenge Task of clearing out the Traitor left unfinished.
Under such circumstances, as long as they could survive the last two days, they would be able to return to the main world.
The loss would only be the Divine Energy reward from the first Challenge Task, which, compared to staying alive, presented too high a risk for too low a benefit.
Therefore, most of the Summoned preferred to leave: "Let's just forget it, it's only one task short, we don't want to take this risk."
"What risk is there to take? The Bloodline Demons are already cleared up, the only threat left is that Traitor. Only the Traitor would be afraid and want to leave in haste," Lu Heng's gaze swept across the few Superpower Users wanting to leave.
Their eyes met Lu Heng's, and a chill ran through them, no longer daring to speak.
Lu Heng continued, "I promise not to falsely accuse the innocent. After we confirm the Traitor's identity, we'll take action. So, those without guilt in their hearts should stay. Those with guilt... can try their luck running away."
With these words, the forcing tone was quite clear.
The Superpower Users present all shivered inwardly.
During the recent fight with the Purgatory Sub-Dragon and Salein, they had witnessed Lu Heng's strength.
No Superpower Users dared to approach the Purgatory Sub-Dragon; only Lu Heng, who twice broke through to within a step of the Purgatory Sub-Dragon, first killing Salein, then cutting down the Purgatory Sub-Dragon.
Such terrifying combat power, now if anyone still dared to run, it was purely seeking death.
The Summoned on site immediately began whispering to each other, discussing what to do.
Lu Heng added, "If you all refuse to stay and catch the Traitor, then I'll have to treat you all as Traitors. A situation where I'm the only good person among everyone, it's actually quite interesting."
Wang Zhehan took a deep breath, raised his hand, and said, "I'm willing to stay and cooperate with you, as long as you promise not to senselessly kill the innocent. Those who have no skeletons in their closet, stay with me."
"But Lu Heng, I want to make myself clear, if you kill anyone before confirming the Traitor's identity, we will unite and resist you."
Hearing this, Lu Heng was very satisfied and nodded in agreement, "Alright."
With someone leading the way in agreeing to stay, those Summoned who had originally wanted to leave had no way out.
Teams like Charles Water, Park Hyun-jin, and others had initially wanted to leave.
After all, their relationship with Lu Heng was very stiff, and they could likely be targeted.
Now seeing that the Summoned led by Wang Zhehan had agreed to stay, they also didn't dare to forcefully leave.
Charles Water looked around and suddenly pointed at a person floating in the distance, saying, "What about that person? He is the one who has hidden the deepest!"
The person he was pointing to was unexpectedly Xie Shi'en.
Xie Shi'en had been floating mid-air all along, arms crossed, watching the situation below with great interest, never expecting to suddenly be singled out.
