Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675

Aria thought, These critters won’t kill us, but they sure as hell slow us down. If the opposing team picks up the pace, they’ll clear this path hours ahead of us.’

After finally clearing this wave, a teammate, panting slightly, shot Saintiger a withering glare. “You’re too damn slow! If you were with Wade, you wouldn’t be dragging your feet like this.”

Saintiger grumbled, “They’re just some venomous bugs, not even dangerous. You’re the one who insisted on tagging along.”

“And I was wrong for helping you?”

“I didn’t ask for your help.”

For Saintiger, helping Team One defeat Echohawk mattered far more than any so-called reward.

Saintiger was rooting for the other team to win, though he wouldn’t actively sabotage his own side. At most, he’d just be a bit half-hearted about it.

The teammate fumed, “You just don’t care about winning…” He suddenly collapsed.

Yvonne, right behind him, instantly caught the falling man. “He’s out cold.”

Aria rushed over to examine him. “Venomous insect bite,” she diagnosed tersely.

“How is that possible?” Yvonne blurted out, her voice full of disbelief.

Yvonne crouched down to check the member, Yancy Ximenes. When she saw the fabric above his ankle had been slashed by a blade, her face darkened.

“This was clearly done with a knife,” she accused, glaring at Saintiger. “You and I were the closest. I use a whip, but you use a knife. Was it you?”

Saintiger frowned, protesting, “Why would I slash his uniform? He was the one who darted into my space. I was too busy fighting off those venomous insects. How was I supposed to notice if my blade grazed him?”

The other team members couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Aside from Echohawk, you’re the strongest in our team. If you’d just been quicker, would he have needed to step in and help you deal with those venomous insects?”

“If you didn’t want to join our team, you should’ve told Mr. Murray. What gives you the right to drag us down with you?”

The team’s message was clear: Saintiger’s slacking got his teammate hurt, intentional or not.

But Saintiger, feeling wronged by their baseless accusations and deliberate targeting, snapped, “Since you’re all so convinced I did this on purpose, then I’ll just go help the opposing team.”

“Hold it,” Aria commanded. Saintiger ignored her and kept walking.

Aria glared at Saintiger. “If you quit now, we’ll never win first place. Is that what you want? Mr. Murray’s orders are clear: the

team must remain intact.”

Saintiger stopped in his tracks and turned around, snapping, “You’re the ones forcing me out.”

Aria stared at Saintiger and demanded, “Do you truly have a clear conscience?” Saintiger fell silent.

Chapter 675

Aria took out a bottle of medicated powder and sprinkled it on Yancy’s wound. Standing up, she ordered Saintiger, “You carry him on your back.”

“Why should I?”

“He got bitten by that venomous insect thanks to you. Whether directly or indirectly, this is on you. Are you really going to deny responsibility, or are you just too proud to carry your own teammate?”

If any evaluators were watching from the shadows, he could easily be disqualified, and after that, it would be incredibly difficult for him to be trusted with significant roles again. After all, Yancy’s injury was indeed due to him.

Saintiger couldn’t claim he was blameless. “Fine, I’ll carry him,” he grumbled.

Aria pulled out several medicated pouches from her backpack and distributed them. “Everyone, put these on. They’ll ward off insects,” she instructed.

Saintiger secured Yancy on his back. “Will these pouches keep those bugs from earlier off us, too?” he asked, a hint of skepticism in his voice.
