I was left with 535 gold coins after I purchased the healing potion.
But after eliminating 25 players tonight, I obtained an additional five hundred and sixty gold coins.
'Awesome,'
It feels nice to obtain five hundred and sixty gold coins without breaking too much sweat.
If all twenty-five players were awake while I barged into their rooms, I would have probably been k.i.l.l.e.d by now.
Drifting the thought of being k.i.l.l.e.d aside, I decided to ponder on what I should do next.
Before dispatching all three guards, I managed to obtain an overview of what's going on and how a total of thirty players were gathered in this decrepit inn with rickety stairs.
The inn might look dilapidated, still it was big with many spacious rooms, but there was no food in it.
Of course, it had a kitchen and restaurant, but still, there was no food in the inn.
Only a couple of alcoholic beverages were found hidden in the inn.
So basically, there was shelter and booze but no food.
Fortunately for the players, they were in the woods, so there were a lot of animals they could hunt for meals.
The inn is currently filled with both male and female inmates, who had nothing but smiles all over their faces before I ended them all.
This was due to the recent truce both leaders decided a few days ago.
Almost all the female inmates in the inn belonged to a group of criminals working directly under Gabriella.
Since Black Paradise prison had inmates from across the globe, not everyone could comprehend each other's language, and this led to most inmates sticking close to those who they spoke a similar language with.
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Even though they were speaking the same language, not everyone gets to accept who leads the rest without a proper vote/ fight for who should be the leader.
With most decisions leaning towards the latter option for dominance of a group.
But why would they meet in the first place if it was going to end up in a fight?
That's because most inmates join other inmates to form a hierarchical social group.
A group is led by the leader and he/she helps to build a pseudo-family to increase bonds within inmates.
Gabriella, already, had a couple of inmates from her original gang joining her in black Paradise prison from her previous prison facility.
And the same goes for other inmates who were in a social group before being summoned here.
Just when the sleep inducing melody was played, allowing all players to be teleported before General Zhang, Gabriella, alongside her current family members were summoned to this inn right from the first day.
The same could be said about the male inmates as well.
The Big boss, Kevin, was already a popular figure in Black Paradise prison facility long before I got incarcerated.
And he had a number of lackeys he considered family following him of their own free will.
Few had nothing important to do but to join him, while others wished to learn a thing or two from him.
But Spencer was already recognized as Kevin's right-hand man and had gained a substantial amount of respect from the new family members.
When both groups of inmates arrived at the first day of the survival game, they fought against one another.
Both groups, with some neutral inmates spawned here as well, totaled a sum of more than seventy inmates.
They fought for two days but decided to form a compromise where both groups would help each other out until the end.
Their goal?
All four maps leading to the Obsidian key.
But Spencer had no idea I found a map in the labyrinth and so, I wasn't pressured to release the map.
___
Aside from knowing all this through the deceased guards' conversation, I also found out that both Kevin and Gabriella were not in the inn.
It appears both had taken a truck to see how far the main road from the inn was to the city.
If there was really a city, that is.
The guards didn't know either, but all signs seem to lean towards the possibility of there being a city away from this forest.
I wonder how far the city is from the Dead forest zone because it seems they've been gone for several hours.
Well, this could work in our favor.
Then I better free Jasmine as fast as I can and get us the h.e.l.l out of here.
Although, I doubt Jasmine would want that.
'Then we can ambush the two bosses with a surprise attack when they come back,' I thought to myself.
"Time to hide the bodies," I said as I dragged the bodies into one of the rooms where the rest of the deceased were.
Once I was done, I stepped out of the room and lifted my gaze towards the flight of rickety stairs, which looked like it could collapse anytime.
And just as I was about to ascend the stairs, I noticed the beam of light entering into the inn from the opened entrance.
I forgot to close the door after hiding the bodies of the guards.
The light beam turns out to be from the headlights of a truck belonging to the one Kevin and Gabriella took on their way out.

A/N:- I wonder how Ace would react once he discovers the City might not be their next destination. Anyhoo, this marks the end of another mass release. See you all tomorrow.
