After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Coming to Pick a Fight, Huh?

Upon hearing the accusatory tone of the voice, Lu Sheng raised her eyes and saw Xu Xinya standing with a group of people not far from the camp, looking in their direction.

It wasn’t Xu Xinya with just her usual cronies—this time, it was everyone gathering together.

It seemed that everyone had already tacitly accepted Xu Xinya, the 6-star member, as the leader of the island. Whatever she instructed, they followed. If she came, they all came along.

Lu Sheng frowned instinctively, puzzled about what trouble these people were bringing now.

But in the very next moment, Xu Xinya marched over aggressively with her group.

When they saw the oily, aromatic roasted wild rabbit, the appealing curried beef, and tomato egg soup on Lu Sheng’s group’s table, everyone widened their eyes in shock.

Were these really what Lu Sheng’s group was eating?

This was way too extravagant!

The food looked absolutely delicious!

Since arriving on the island, everyone had been surviving on basic instant meals—either dry and hard compressed biscuits or painfully salty canned meat.

Only Xu Xinya had those high-end cooking packs for making proper dishes, but even then, only the few people who shamelessly flattered her could get a small taste. The rest had to make do with whatever food they got.

So when they saw the food on the table, many couldn’t help but swallow hard.

But then they started to wonder—where did Lu Sheng’s group get all this food?

Yesterday, they didn’t seem to have gotten much food at all.

Standing at the front, Xu Xinya first glanced at the table and then asked incredulously, "...Lu Sheng, where did all this food come from?"

"I remember very clearly that in the package your group of five received yesterday, there were only a few packs of instant noodles, a few cans of luncheon meat, and some rice. There was absolutely none of the food you have on your table now."

"Where did you get it from? Don’t tell me you stole it from others!"

Lan Yu’s stomach had already been growling in hunger, and she was just about to finally enjoy her meal when someone came to stir up trouble.

She rolled her eyes, exasperated: "Xu Xinya, do you seriously have nothing better to do than come looking for trouble with us?"

"If we stole anyone’s things, why don’t you all just check if anything’s missing?"

"Besides, did anyone see cooking packs like curried beef or tomato egg soup when the packages were handed out yesterday?"

Indeed, no one had.

With just one sentence, Lan Yu dismissed Xu Xinya’s accusations.

But if they didn’t steal from others, then where did all this food come from?

"If it wasn’t stolen, then where did all this come from?" Xu Xinya’s tone remained aggressive.

"I, as the leader, was worried that your group wouldn’t have enough to eat, and I specifically brought people over to share some biscuits with you and discuss the map search plan together."

"But as soon as I arrive, I see you eating better than everyone else here. What a waste of my concern."

"Do you know how massive and dangerous a wild brown bear is? If one saw you, it could bite half your body off in one go!"

"But you’re telling me you met a brown bear in the forest, and not only did it not attack you, it gave you food instead?"

"What, did you save its life before and it came to repay you? Do you even believe what you’re saying? If you’re going to make up a story, at least make it convincing!"

With no surveillance cameras near the camp, Xu Xinya had no qualms about being audacious, and the others didn’t hold back either.

After all, they outnumbered Lu Sheng’s group here.

If Lu Sheng’s group really had used some unscrupulous way to get food, then everybody else deserved a share too!

Lu Sheng felt her patience wearing thin.

"You asked about its origin. I’ve explained. What I said is the truth—whether you believe it or not, that’s your choice."

Her tone was ice-cold, "I’ll say it again. You can leave now. If you don’t, don’t blame me for what happens next."

The crowd didn’t take her words seriously, thinking Lu Sheng was just bluffing.

After all, while there weren’t cameras around the camp here, the island was covered extensively. They didn’t believe Lu Sheng would dare to physically assault them—was she not afraid of public backlash and online wrath?

But at that moment, unnoticed, one of the young men from Xu Xinya’s group had slipped away to Lu Sheng’s stockpile of supplies from last night.

Suddenly, with the sound of fabric being yanked—

The cloth covering their supplies was pulled away in one motion, revealing a small mountain of supplies for all to see.
