Peter Ratri and the demons were perplexed with the actions of the rescuers. They were expecting the rescuers to prioritize making their escape together with the freed captives. However, the rescuers did not seem to be in a hurry to escape but have barricaded themselves inside the facility instead.
Apparently, it was their plan to take over Grace Field Farm all along. However, Ratri was trying hard to understand the motive of his opponents. “They’ve barricaded themselves inside?” Peter was confused. “What does that mean?”
At one point, Ratri even considered if the intruders plan to kill them all. However, it would not make sense since there are 2,000 Imperial Soldiers stationed outside.
As Peter carefully considered the matter, he suspects that they might be making some kind of demand, which might be revealed in “The Promised Neverland” chapter 168. Another possibility he considered is that they might have another plan of escape.
Initially, Ratri’s team of demons felt that they have the advantage of the situation due to their control of the facility’s system. However, it was later taken over by the intruders as well. It even reached the point where the facility’s demon guards were all rounded up inside one of the facility’s locations.
It was all part of their plan. They do not really intend to kill all the demon guards. They just want to gather them up in one place so they could conveniently trap all of them.
Their real target was soon revealed. It turns out that they were actually after Peter Ratri himself. “The head honcho we’re after is Peter Ratri,” the intruders said.
“The Promised Neverland” chapter 168 is expected to show how the team will capture Peter Ratri. With him as the hostage, it’s highly likely they will be making some demands that might even include their freedom.
But it remains to be seen if the Ratri clan will give in to whatever demands they might make in “The Promised Neverland” chapter 168. It is also possible that the clan might be willing to sacrifice their head.
Meanwhile, “The Promised Neverland” chapter 168 might also show what Isabella is up to at the moment. The Gracefield administrator was a no-show in the manga series’ latest chapter.
