Johnny had his thick eyebrows deeply knit as he sprung up and darted toward her to grab a hold of her arm. "Stop being so stupid! If you really insist on entering the jungle, I can send someone to accompany you first thing in the morning tomorrow. What do you say? Wouldn't that be better?"
Carla blew a fuse due to his repeated attempts to get on her way. This forced her to pull out the dagger she had on her side pocket and point its sharp edge right under his throat.
"Johnny, don't you dare try stop me!"
Carla yelled furiously, intensely glaring at him.
Upon seeing the dagger that was pointed on his neck, Johnny simply let out a faint chuckle. It appeared that she was so well-prepared and quite intent on doing this. "Okay then, you win. Go ahead and do whatever you want. If you die in that jungle, nobody's going to come to pick up your body."

Carla must be scared out of her wits anxiously waiting in JA City. Who wouldn't be if they had been left without being told anything at all?
"Mr. Terence, it's time to move. I've surveyed the area. The coast is clear," Nathan informed him the second he returned.
Wiping his mouth, he quickly stood up and handed the water bottle back over to Rainer.
"We should go now. It would be best to get out of this place without further delay!"
