Clearly, there was a disagreement between William Howard and Charlotte Allison because of this matter, and the atmosphere between the two parties was somewhat tense. So much so that when everyone was setting up tents and preparing for dinner, William Howard didn't invite Charlotte Allison and her group.
Charlotte Allison remained on high alert, constantly carrying the silver box containing the key, as if fearing that William Howard's group might seize it.
After dinner, Charlotte Allison and Lucas Quinn went inside the tent, while Julian Wolfe and Paula kept watch outside, guns at hand, adopting a posture of high-level vigilance that wouldn't even let a fly enter.
William Howard's team set up some monitoring devices around to prevent any night-time attacks.
When he returned, sweaty from the hustle, he saw Charlotte Allison and her group already resting comfortably, and he immediately frowned and cursed under his breath.
