Chapter 442: New Rules (part 2)

On the way home, the businessman explained that he and Skaur had met in the previous Round. The overweight scum wasn't a Monster, but he was no angel either. In order to survive, Will had been forced to team up with this bastard.

That was fine in Round One, because despite his flaws, Skaur was somewhat protective. Without his comrades, from whom he had been separated, the gangster was not so cocky, willingly choosing diplomacy over violence.

Because he was strong enough and Will did the talking, they had earned the trust of the other Villagers as they saved them on multiple occasions. Of course, their Round was not nearly as dangerous as Jake's.

The three original Monsters were natives that their Players had no trouble defeating. There were no Inquisitors or outstanding Players. As soon as the remaining Monster got his points, he left and their Round was over.
