Upon returning this time, Daniel and his companions carried a sense of pride and anticipation. They had deliberately brought back one hundred mercenaries, fully hoping to showcase their achievements and gains over the years to Xu Lin. These members had all been carefully selected and meticulously trained, each possessing extraordinary skill and combat experience. However, as fate would have it, just as they returned to the island, they were ambushed by those slaves, resulting in two members being injured. Afterward, during the fierce battle, several more were wounded, leaving only a little over ninety people standing before Xu Lin at this moment.
Right now, these ninety-odd people spread out in a circle, tightly surrounding Xu Lin in the center. Their gazes were as fierce as famished wolves, as if Xu Lin were their irreconcilable enemy. The hostility and desire for battle revealed in those eyes were almost enough to ignite the surrounding air.
Yet Xu Lin, encircled in the middle, appeared unhurried and entirely at ease. He lowered his head slightly, his slender fingers gently straightening his clothes. The movement was graceful and natural, showing not the slightest trace of tension or panic in the face of impending battle.
