"Carly, can't you slow down?" The fat man had eaten a lot and wasn't good at walking fast, so he was falling further and further behind Carly, which made him have to call out to remind her.
Carly stopped and turned to watch the fat man slowly move over.
"Fatty, what do you think about Mr. Ed inviting us to his place to rest?"
"Carly, are you sure the lord here is the one who killed the second-in-command?"
Yes, there's no mistake.
"That's great! We'll go directly to his territory and wait for him. He won't know our purpose. When he returns, we'll surprise him. Nobody will expect it! A perfect plan," the fat man said confidently.
Carly looked at the fat man and for the first time found him pleasing to the eye; being fat was truly an advantage.
"Hmm, your idea is perfect. I really underestimated you before. I never expected this! Mr. robber, you are such a low-key person."
"Hehe," the fat man's mouth was almost crooked from laughing. Getting praise from this brat Carly was harder than climbing to heaven.
"Yes, Carly, you'll have to discover it slowly. Perhaps you'll see a different side of me."
"Yes, I will try my best. But right now, we both think accepting the invitation is perfect. I just don't know what the leader thinks. The leader's thoughts are always hard to guess." Carly looked at the fat man leisurely.
"It's alright, just tell me what happened before. If the leader has any concerns, I'll take care of it." The fat man was now confident, and his words were full of assurance.
"That's great, the leader never believes me." Carly said, looking aggrieved.
"What are you afraid of? We've been together the whole time. I'll prove it to you." The fat man forgot that he couldn't read.
Haha, that's exactly what Carly wanted to hear. The fat guy was there to spy on her, and now that the fat guy is there to vouch for her, what's there to worry about in achieving her goal?
In the jungle to the east of the territory
"Carly, how's it going?" The muscular man looked at the fat man and Carly who had just returned.
"Chief, the outsider is indeed the lord of that place. This place is very wealthy, but the outsider has gone out hunting and we don't know when he will return. I made up a reason that we were separated from the group, and the outsider asked the steward to invite us to rest in his territory."
The muscular man looked at Carly, and Carly didn't look away but looked back at the muscular man.
After watching the muscular man for a while, he looked at the fat man.
"Yes, Chief, what Carly said is true. We have been together the whole time. Mr. Ed saw that we were in a bad situation and there were many mosquitoes in the jungle, so he invited us to rest in the big house in the territory."
Actually, the fat man wasn't with Carly when he delivered the letter, but the time was so short that he had already overlooked it.
Seeing that the leader did not object, the fat man continued:
"Chief, actually, our going there would be extremely advantageous for us. When the lord returns, we'll recognize him immediately, so we won't be afraid of going to the wrong person. And since they don't know our specific purpose, they won't be too wary. You see, this place is very wealthy. If we control the lord, and the others aren't very strong, we can seize this place as our base of operations. If the others are very strong, we can kill the lord, avenge the Second Chief, then plunder a batch of treasure and run back to our old place. Isn't that perfect?"
The leader was deep in thought again. The fat man's words made a lot of sense, but he was also a little afraid that something unexpected might happen, because Carly was much smarter than this fat man.
"You've been together the whole time?" the leader still asked, uneasy.
"Yes, Chief, except when going to the toilet."
