Chapter 196 Go! Slap him twice across the face.
“Elder Lu, as one of the top figures in the world of supernatural beings in our country, I would be very happy if you were willing to go to Nathan Island.” Zhao Fangxu first echoed Lu Jin’s words, but then immediately changed the subject and said, “However, we don’t know how long you will be stationed on Nathan Island this time, and you will need to cooperate with the local troops. I’m afraid that at your age, Elder Lu, you might not be used to it.”
Lu Jin snorted coldly.
"Hmph! What's this about getting used to it? I've weathered many storms in my youth, how could I possibly lose points?"
"I know what you're worried about. Aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble for that bastard Li Muxuan?"
Seeing that Lu Jin was being so straightforward, Zhao Fangxu stopped trying to hide it and admitted it directly.
"We do have this concern. If Elder Lu's purpose is only to seek revenge against Li Muxuan, then I am sorry that I cannot mention Elder Lu's name."
Perhaps it was because he was thinking of Li Muxuan, but Lu Jin's face showed a rare expression of anger.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Jin gritted his teeth and said.
“Before, I didn’t know what happened between my master and Wugensheng. I blamed Li Muxuan for the murder of my Sanyi Sect members. I dreamed of killing that bastard Li Muxuan! But since I found out what happened back then, my thoughts have changed a bit.”
"But it would be a lie to say that I don't hate Li Muxuan at all. I did apply to go to Nathan Island with the intention of causing trouble for Li Muxuan, but don't worry, I won't do anything to him. At most, I'll beat him up and that'll be the end of it."
Looking at Lu Jin's serious face, Zhao Fangxu was unsure whether to believe him or not.
Although Zhao Fangxu really wanted to say that Lu Jin beating up Li Muxuan would easily trigger diplomatic conflicts, he held back from saying it, seeing how much Lu Jin had conceded.
After a long while, Zhao Fangxu finally spoke slowly.
“Mr. Lu, since you’ve said so, I’ll definitely trust you. I personally have no objection to you being in charge of Nathan Island, but I don’t have the authority to make that decision. Ultimately, it will be up to the military to decide.”
"Here's what we'll do: you go back first, and I'll report your name to them. If there are no problems with the military, I'll let you know immediately."
Seeing that Zhao Fangxu had already said so much, Lu Jin did not press him any further.
"Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Zhao."
After saying that, Lu Jin got up and left. Watching Lu Jin's back, Zhao Fangxu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Finally, we've sent this big shot away. Let the military deal with these troublesome matters; he can't handle these important figures anymore.
……
Nathan Island.
After carefully checking the area, Zhang Chulan and the others returned to the port.
“Brother Black, this area looks pretty safe. There’s nothing here, not even a large wild animal. But I saw some signs of a fight. I guess King Nathan’s side sent people to clear the area beforehand.”
Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Hei Guan nodded.
He also discovered quite a few of the clues Zhang Chulan mentioned, which shows that King Nathan really values this cooperation.
Nathan Island is a rectangular island that is longer from north to south and shorter from east to west.
The northern part of the island is a safer "market town," which was also the main area where Nathan Island previously communicated with the outside world.
The South is a “paradise” where lawless criminals reside, and it is the main residential area for criminals who have fled to Nathan Island.
The remaining central part is where King Nathan's palace and his most devout subjects lived, and the port that King Nathan allocated to them was located on the east side of the island, very close to the palace.
The terrain here has a depression, and there are no reefs in the nearby sea, making it a perfect port for a fleet to anchor.
However, it still needs some modifications before it can be used, and this is one of the tasks of Black Pipe and his team. They need to ensure that there are no dangers near the sea that would hinder the fleet's entry.
Just as the black tube was scanning the environment near the harbor, ripples appeared in the void, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
“Do not be alarmed, everyone. It is I, Elijah.”
When Elijah arrived at the beach where Black Pipe and the others were via teleportation, he found a group of people staring at him with tense expressions, almost ready to attack.
Zhang Chulan withdrew his circulating Qi and looked at Elijah with an annoyance, asking...
"Don't show up suddenly next time, it's kind of scary!"
"My bad, my bad." Elijah waved his hand apologetically. "I just came to ask you what to eat tonight so I could help you prepare."
"No need to trouble yourself, we brought our own food."
The black-clad man standing nearby politely declined Elijah's offer, explaining that since they were currently abroad, they needed to be careful and it would be safer to eat the food they had brought themselves.
Hearing this, Elijah said with some disappointment, "No need to be so polite. We should be considered allies, right? Now that we're on Nathan Island, we should at least show them some hospitality, shouldn't we? Anyway, the Dragon Balls have already been returned. How about we have a bonfire party to celebrate? With us Nathan Guards around, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing the words "bonfire party," Zhang Chulan suddenly tensed up, remembering the bonfire party he had attended at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.
That was a dark chapter in his history that he could never forget.
Elijah's words made Blackpipe hesitate. Indeed, there was no need to be too tense now, and since the country decided to establish a military base on Nathan Island, Nathan Island had automatically become their ally.
He had also heard about King Nathan's special privileges on the island; King Nathan could directly sense anyone on the island.
With her surveillance capabilities and Nathan's teleportation ability on the tower, they would basically not encounter any danger.
There's nothing wrong with accepting Nathan's invitation.
Blackie turned his gaze to Xu San, wanting to ask for the vice-captain's advice.
After receiving the gaze, Xu San lowered his head and pondered for three seconds before nodding to the clarinet.
“Alright, Mr. Elijah, since you have invited us so sincerely, we can’t refuse. We’ll do as you say.”
"No problem, just wait a moment, I'll go arrange it right away."
After Elijah finished speaking, he teleported away again and disappeared once more.
……
Nathan Island Royal Palace.
Elijah, who had just been teleported back, met someone who surprised him: King Nathan's maternal grandfather, Li Muxuan.
"What are you doing here?" Elijah asked, frowning.
Li Muxuan impatiently picked at his ear with his little finger.
"Then you'll have to ask your king. It was your king who summoned me."
"Perhaps your king misses her grandfather?"
Elijah looked at the jovial Li Muxuan and said seriously, "Li Muxuan, don't think that just because you're the king's grandfather you can be so disrespectful to the king!"
Li Muxuan had heard these words many times before. Seeing his impatient look, Elijah was about to get angry when Wakina came out of the palace.
"Quiet down, this is the royal palace!"
