Chapter 106 An Easy, Effortless Thievery
Keith jogged around the island, using the forest a few times whenever he saw other groups camping at the borders of the island. Thanks to the information from his system screens, he was able to avoid most of the teams and had a safe path.
Almost an hour worth of jog later, Keith finally found the place he had targeted. It was Timmy's camp and it looked absolutely luxurious. At least compared to the camps that other teams set up.
They weren't allowed to bring the structures or tents that had been already set up in the previous island, but Timmy clearly had more than enough cloth to bring to this place so he could set up another tent.
Keith saw multiple blankets around the campfire, which totaled to 6.

'Hmm, so his servants sleep outside while he and his father's concubines have fun inside the tent.' he thought as he looked around.
There was no one nearby and Keith knew the reason already.
'Thanks to Clark, I have such a great opportunity.' he thought to himself as he walked towards the tent and kicked the wooden box that was beside it. He opened the lid and found a lot of ice inside, which he pushed to the sides.
Buried in the ice, were well cut pieces of meat and all of them were rolled up in a wax paper. He silently grabbed all the meat and took off his shirt to use as a bag. He tied the ends together and was about to jog back to his camp when he stopped.
He turned around and stared at the tent, the look in his eyes complicated.
Timmy was an asshole in the novel, but right now, in Keith's reality, Timmy had done almost nothing to Antagonise him in any way. On the other hand, Clark was the main character of the novel who had done a lot of good things even though the way he did these things were questionable.
Yet, the main character of the novel went ahead to try and get Clara. It wasn't a direct attack on Keith, but Keith didn't like it in any way.
He stared at the tent, with one side of him wanting to push the tent into the fire and the other half telling him to leave Timmy alone.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Almost a minute later, Keith sighed and turned away before he began to run back. This time, he didn't stop to turn back at all.
'He becomes a true asshole after the war... but there's no need to make his life difficult right now. Though, I don't really feel good about it for some reason.' he thought, but as he felt the weight of the meat that he was carrying, he smirked.
'Well, it doesn't matter much. Without any food, he'll have no choice but to try and fight someone to steal their resources. And now he's trying to chase Clark, which will make him lose a lot of energy and also water... oh man, he's going to struggle.'
On one end, Keith had stolen all the food that Timmy had brought with him, which was just meat and on the other hand, there was Clark who was making them run around the forest, which would make them thirsty and prompt them to drink more water.
Both of them targeted the same person, but each of them had their own plans.
'Funnily enough, I had this plan in my mind way before I found out about Clark's plans.' he thought and couldn't help but chuckle.
He jogged slightly faster, almost starting to run but stopped after a few minutes as he managed to reach his camp.
Both Clara and Amelia had their eyes peeled open, scanning the surroundings intently like they were trying to spot a chameleon.
'Maybe I shouldn't have lied about the invisible kiddo... but at least they didn't sleep, so that's a good thing I guess.' he thought as he walked towards them.
"What are you guys doing?" I ask as I place the bag on a stone and look around, "By the way, did you guys see any flat rocks here? I need one right now."
Amelia and Clara turned to look at him, "No, I've only seen roundish and cubic rocks here when it comes to shapes, but most of them have weird shapes. Also, what did you bring and can you still sense that slippery invisible pig?"
"Oh, nah I don't sense anything right now. At least not anything dangerous. He could technically still be somewhere near but we'll need Laura if you wish to catch him. But well... I guess it's better to just do our thing since I don't really sense any danger." he blabbered his lies without any worry.
As he talked, he grabbed two long spatulas and kicked the stones that were placed around the fire. He replaced them with bigger stones and stacked two stones each on two ends before placing the spatulas on top of them.
He then nodded to himself and grabbed the spatulas again before using the ends to pierce three meat chunks. Once done, he placed it on top of the fire with the ends of the spatulas resting on top of the stone towers.
He silently watched the meat drip it's juices onto the fire while he heard Amelia talk.
"Ugh, this damn Clark and his twin minions. I absolutely hate them and I hate them even more than Timmy right now! Ugh!!! If I get the chance, I'll strangle them to death!"
Keith chuckled as he turned to look at her, "Well, maybe you should just sleep for now. I'll keep watch so take a short nap. But do keep in mind that I'll wake you up since I don't want you sleeping for the whole night. Consider tonight as a training period since there will be no nap times from tomorrow onwards."
"Bleh... but yeah, I understand. I'll take a nap with Clara for now so wake us up whenever you want to. Good night."
