Kaede Sato and Thomas boarded a special plane that was specially flown from the Rocket Team's headquarters to pick up the Rankers. At this time, many Rankers had already arrived on the plane. Sakaki Tomonari was among them.
This special plane flew from the north, so its first stop was the Rocket Team's base on the northern coastline of the mysterious island. It then flew clockwise to the eastern base where Kaede Sato was located.
Thomas boarded this special plane at the northern base. As soon as Kaede Sato's loyal subordinate got off the plane, Thomas immediately went to the entrance to wait for Kaede Sato.
It was no wonder. If it were not for Kaede Sato, Thomas would have been eliminated long ago. How could he still be standing here?
Thomas knew this very well. He did not lose his place because of the compliments he received after his promotion. Instead, he felt even more grateful to Kaede Sato.
The interior of the plane was like a luxurious private room in a high-class hotel. There were all kinds of delicacies and alcohol. There were also professional handsome or beautiful waiters to serve Kaede Sato and the other Rankers with the most meticulous care.
However, these waiters were obviously not ordinary waiters. They were a group of extremely persuasive people. Simply put, they were a group of sellers. They were not selling products, but the forces behind them.
Yes, these waiters were arranged by the big bosses of the major factions in the Rocket Team. Their purpose was to poach Kaede Sato and the other Rankers who had gone through the harsh test and had a bright future.
In order to poach Kaede Sato and the others, the big bosses of the major factions in the Rocket Team offered all kinds of generous conditions. For the Rankers among the Rankers, they even promised to provide them with Quasi God wisps in the future.
From this, it could be seen how much importance the higher-ups of the Rocket Team attached to people like Kaede Sato, who had stood out in the survival trial on the mysterious island.
Of course, for these special sellers, people like Thomas who had a clean background were the most welcome. After all, people like Die, Sakaki Tomonari, and Akikaze Rin who had solid backgrounds were impossible to poach.
Perhaps it was because Big Boss Sakaki had hidden Kaede Sato's background too well, coupled with the fact that Kaede Sato had shone brilliantly in this island survival trial, he was now one of the four giants of the Rocket Team's younger generation, together with Sakaki Tomonari, Butterfly, and Akiaze Rin. He was expected to become a Heavenly King in the future.
In particular, not long ago, he had fought Sakaki Tomonari head-on, which made him even more respected among the younger generation of the Rockets. As soon as these special sellers saw Kaede Sato board the plane, they immediately swarmed over like cats smelling fish.
Unfortunately, Kaede Sato had already become Big Boss Sakaki's subordinate. He had already entered the faction with the strongest and the most potential in the Rocket Team. How could he be interested in other factions?
Therefore, Kaede Sato chose to only smile and not respond to these special sellers who offered him all kinds of generous conditions. He didn't give any definite response.
It wasn't until a special seller who clearly knew Kaede Sato's identity and had been observing Kaede Sato in the dark for a long time helped him out that other special sellers were no longer pestering him. At this time, everyone knew that Kaede Sato had joined Big Boss Sakaki's team.
Therefore, some of the people who also chose to join Big Boss Sakaki's team quickly came over to greet Kaede Sato, the leader of the Big Four, in an attempt to get to know him.
However, perhaps because Kaede Sato fought with Sakaki Tomonari to save Die, many of the people who chose to join Big Boss Sakaki's team only wanted to get to know Kaede Sato. They didn't have a deep relationship with him. Most of them chose to circle around Sakaki Tomonari, Big Boss Sakaki's nephew.
"Hmph, this bunch of idiots. They're going to be in big trouble in the future. That bastard is a smiling tiger who eats people without spitting out their bones."
Thomas, who was sitting next to Kaede Sato, mocked in a low voice as he looked at the people surrounding Sakaki Tomonari.
After Kaede Sato brought him away, he told him what happened in the ruins. Therefore, Thomas also hated Sakaki Tomonari to the core, and at the same time, he was grateful to Kaede Sato for saving his life again.
Now that he saw those ignorant Advanced Rankers surrounding Sakaki Tomonari like dogs and neglecting Kaede Sato, he was instantly displeased and couldn't help but grumble to himself.
"Don't worry about it, Thomas. Everyone has their own ambitions. This rookie competition isn't over yet, so don't be too relaxed. Prepare yourself for the upcoming battles. If you can obtain a higher ranking, you'll be able to exchange for more benefits."
Kaede Sato ordered an ordinary waiter to bring some delicacies to the Swamp Monster, who had finished all the food on the table, and then said to Thomas with a nonchalant attitude through telepathy.
"Yes, Big Boss Sato, I'll definitely prepare well. I won't embarrass you."
Thomas hurriedly nodded when he heard that.
Two hours later, all the people who advanced to the next stage boarded the special plane that was about to fly to the Rocket's headquarters. This time, only 36 people could complete the second stage of the island survival trial.
In the last few days, the number of people who survived on the island was suddenly reduced by nearly half. A large part of the credit was due to the ruins exploration organized by Sakaki Tomonari.
In the ruins exploration this time, only Kaede Sato, Thomas, Butterfly, Xing, Akikaze, Sakaki Tomonari, and six of his subordinates returned alive. The other 25 people remained in the ruins forever.
Yes, Els and his subordinates had fallen. They died in the hands of Sakaki Tomonari and Mia, the two superhumans. Mia had completed her revenge.
Although Akikaze Tomonari had escaped death, his strength was greatly reduced. Other than the Bao Fei Long, the rest of the main Wisps were buried in the ruins, becoming the weakest among the four young Big Bosses of the Rocket.
At the same time, according to the rules of the number tags, the person who obtained the most number tags this time was undoubtedly Sakaki Tomonari. He had obtained 32 number tags and was firmly in first place on the leaderboard. Hence, he had earned a spot in the third stage of the finals.
The second and third place on the leaderboard were Akikaze Tomonari and Kaede Sato respectively. According to the rules, the two of them had directly earned a spot in the top four.
As for the remaining 33 people who advanced to the next stage, they would go through a series of battles to obtain the last two spots in the top four. From there, they would compete with Akikaze Tomonari and Kaede Sato for a spot in the finals.
The specially modified plane flew very fast. It took Kaede Sato and the others through the thick sea of clouds and flew all the way north.
Finally, after more than three hours of flight, it finally landed in a private airport in Yuhong City.
(Note: Yuhong City used to be called Rainbow City.)
