Chapter 204: Chapter 179: What Exactly Was Equipped on Her Raft This Time

"@Harold Thompson, I just realized how gutsy you are! After everything that’s happened, you still dare to come out and diss the great Rowan Rhodes?"

"I read it twice and noticed Harold Thompson said it was Rowan’s seagull that stole their stuff? A seagull? The kind of seagull that sometimes flies around the islands and rafts?"

"Are seagulls Rowan’s pets?"

"A pet stealing things? Is that for real?"

"Unless this seagull has a spatial storage ability! Otherwise, how could it cause such heavy losses for the players?"

"I feel like what Harold Thompson is saying is fake."

"I can confirm one thing: Harold Thompson and his group definitely aren’t getting any advantage over Rowan."

"Let me analyze this. Harold Thompson and his crew dove down to the shipwreck’s location, but by the time they arrived, Rowan had already finished gathering everything—probably even dismantling the entire ship. Then, after Harold’s group returned to their raft, some resources and Equipment left on the raft disappeared. They saw Rowan’s seagull and assumed Rowan did it? No way. Based on the timeline, Rowan returned to the surface around the same time as you guys, right? If it really was a seagull, I think you should just accept it! After all, if a mere pet can cause you such heavy losses, you don’t stand a chance."

"@Harold Thompson, haven’t you always said ’might makes right’ and ’survival of the fittest’? Just accept your defeat!"

"@Harold Thompson, you really should have left earlier! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be in this situation where you didn’t get any shipwreck resources and ended up dragging yourselves down too."

"@Harold Thompson, are you sure you want to look for trouble with Rowan?"

"I think the final result will disappoint Harold. Based on my understanding of Rowan, she might just keep coming after you guys. Since she’s already taken the blame for it, she definitely won’t back down."

"You guys don’t actually think Rowan is the kind of nice person who just lets things slide, do you? Seriously?"

"..."

The players of District 122 engaged in a heated discussion regarding Harold Thompson’s claims. It was safe to say that they had a crystal-clear understanding of the situation and the mindsets of both parties. This was especially true for their analysis of Rowan Rhodes’s personality.

Even Rowan was a little surprised when she read it. However, she wasn’t as angry about Harold’s accusations as others imagined. After all, she was the one who had reaped the benefits. The profits in her hands were what truly mattered.

"Master, we’re back!" Seabird One’s voice echoed across the raft.

The next moment, a flock of seagulls swarmed in through the front door, every single one of them strutting with their chests puffed out. They felt deeply honored and proud of their little robbery expedition.

The moment she saw them, Rowan asked, "Whose idea was the robbery?"

The gazes of the numerous animals instantly snapped to Seabird One. Seabird One had been incredibly excited, but seeing Rowan’s demeanor, it suddenly grew apprehensive.

"Master, is there a problem?" Seabird One’s voice sounded significantly deflated.

The other seagulls lowered their heads in tandem.

"No, you did beautifully," Rowan laughed. She found their reaction quite endearing.

Seabird One’s eyes instantly lit up, and the other seagulls quickly regained their spirits.

"Master, I only made a move because they wanted to go down and ’bully’ you. Plus, they bullied Atticus before," Seabird One happily explained its reasoning. It wanted to make clear that this wasn’t an impulsive, hot-headed decision—they had carefully considered it.

Listening to this, the corners of Rowan’s lips curled up slightly. "But in the future, you can wait for me to come back so we can do it together! Otherwise, if something accidentally goes wrong, I won’t be able to save you."

It was only because Harold Thompson and his group had lacked vigilance. If they had left a few more players behind to stand guard, the seagulls wouldn’t have had such an easy time—especially with player abilities being enhanced.

Catching the underlying meaning in Rowan’s words, Seabird One grew excited. "Master, are we going to attack them again right now?"

"Yeah. They said I bullied them, so I’m going to show them what real bullying looks like." As Rowan spoke, she had already led the way to the control room on the third floor. Immediately after, she retracted the anchor. Looking at the raft not too far away, she began steering her own raft forward at full speed.

The moment Rowan made her move, Harold Thompson and the others instantly tensed up.

"Rowan is coming over."

"Harold, why the hell did you provoke Rowan on the world channel?"

"Now we’re going to be totally screwed because of you."

"Aren’t you guys angry that Rowan’s pet took so many of our resources?" Harold retorted indignantly.

"Of course we’re angry! But being angry is useless when we can’t beat her."

"Run."

"Harold, you have to be the last one to leave. You’re the one who provoked this."
