Lei Jie did indeed send his men to pick up Ivica, and not just a few people, but everyone.
It turns out Li Kang returned earlier than he did, a full 40 minutes ahead.
By the time Lei Jie got back, there were only 106 people left in their camp, as Li Kang had lured away 70.
Jerry was even worse off, his team was reduced to just 44 people, as 51 were taken away.
So now, Li Kang's team has a total of 291 people. Moreover, Li Kang took these 291 people and already left, as he showcased his strength as a level 4 mage, which made no one dare track Li Kang's movements.
When Ivica saw Lei Jie and encountered her team members, she realized quite a few of her people had been led away.
"Brother, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. You returned as fast as you could. This Li Kang is too cunning; he set everything up when he promised Xu Yi." Ivica consoled Lei Jie, seeing the guilt on his face.
Indeed, this was all planned by Li Kang.
Foresight indeed overcomes shortsightedness.
