Chapter 197: Banquet Hall

"Okoye… When I came to this island, my only goal was to come out as a worthy candidate ready to join the ranks of the D.O.D. This right here puts a completely complicated spin on things. I feel that for the time being we should just watch how things develop and act accordingly."

Ilara replies with a sigh.

"So you guys aren't refusing to help??"

Okoye asks in a low tone.

"No. We would rather watch how things unfold for the time being."

Sai replies with Okoye letting out a sigh of relief.

"Alright then, I can get behind that."

Okoye remarks.

{FLASHBACK ENDS }

*********************

"Just like back then, you guys are unwilling to help out."

Okoye remarks in a low tone drawing Ilara's attention.

"Okoye.."

Ilara trails off.

"I shouldn't have bothered involving you guys. Nia came to me and I should have kept it to myself. Don't worry about it, I'll handle things myself."
