While Michael knew that Karson didn't like him and was going to refute any idea he proposed, his suspicion did indeed carry some merit. Considering where they were about to go, it was of utmost importance for them to be careful.
"The aliens are sadistic creatures. They will not hesitate to take on human appearance to fool us. However, they don't know we are watching them from afar. Since there wouldn't be any real benefit for them to act like scavenging humans, we can conclude that they are indeed real humans."
Karson visibly tensed, his eyes going back to the survivors. He was clearly debating how he could refute Michael's words, yet nothing came to mind.
"He is right." Stephen patted Karson's shoulder. "If they were aliens, I would have felt it. Their disguise can't go past me."
Seeing that Stephen agreed with Michael's words, nobody bothered to go against them. If a Grandmaster claimed the scavengers were humans, no one could say otherwise.
