“Lord Gleamt, you do not need to disembark. Everyone on our ship would love to travel with you.”
Gremt, who had already quietly come to the side of the ship, changed his expression drastically upon hearing Luo Xiu's words.
After seeing Turbo being kicked to death by Luo Xiu, he knew things were going to get really bad and only thought about making a quick getaway. But he didn't expect that the blond young man still wouldn't let him go.
He had previously intended to use everyone on the ship as bait to lure the enemy; if they were actually left on the ship, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"His Royal Highness Prince……"
His head was turned toward the Fifth Prince, his voice trembling slightly.
"Tsk..."
The fifth prince frowned, remained silent for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke:
"Since they've invited you, you should stay."
After saying that, the Fifth Prince did not linger. He led the people of the capital off the ship and disappeared into the air with a flash of a magic array.
Sweat immediately beaded on the forehead of Graham, who remained on the ship.
It’s over.
The fifth prince gave up on himself.
He immediately leaped off the boat, but Luo Xiu flashed past like a phantom and appeared directly behind him.
"What do you mean by this, Lord Gleum? We are all waiting for you on board."
Grimm was shocked; Luo Xiu's movements were far too fast.
He gritted his teeth, and a dark magic circle slowly rotated below his head, from which several streams of light surged and entered his brow.
In an instant, dozens of images flashed through his mind, and he quickly locked onto one of them, channeling his mental energy into it.
That's the scene of Luo Xiu's next action.
This is the fighting style of the Prophecy Mage; everything is accomplished in an instant.
After opening his eyes, he dodged to the side.
In the prophecy, he saw Luo Xiu reach down and grab his hair.
Without any pause or hesitation, he closed his eyes again, his mind racing as if a storm was rising, rapidly searching for Luo Xiu's next move.
But soon, he opened his eyes in fright, because Luo Xiu's hand was already on his hair.
There was nothing he could do. Even though he made a prophecy, it was still just a prophecy. He was too slow. Luo Xiu reached out and grabbed him the moment he saw him dodge to the side.
Moreover, Luo Xiu was carrying the Twisted Crystal of Fate given to him by White.
"Lord Grimes, don't be afraid, we will treat you well."
Luo Xiu, carrying the terrified and contorted Grimes, walked step by step back to the center of the deck...
……
……
A few hours later.
In a dimly lit room on the ferry.
"Wow--"
A basin of icy seawater was poured over it.
Grimm shuddered, opened his eyes, and saw Luo Xiu opposite him.
"Stop hitting!! Stop hitting!! Everyone stop hitting!!"
He retreated in horror, only to find that his entire head was bound with chains and he couldn't move.
Luo Xiu smiled:
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, don't be afraid, Lord Gremt, they're all tired of fighting."
Luo Xiu spoke in a gentle tone, as if coaxing a child, but the smile on his face was more ferocious than a demon in Gleamt's eyes.
"You probably don't know me, but I know you."
Luo Xiu stood up with a smile. At this moment, only he and Grimes were in the room. After hearing this, Grimes looked at Luo Xiu with a puzzled expression, wondering what Luo Xiu meant by those words.
Had he offended this blond young man in the past?
"I don't want to go into details about what happened before; upon closer examination, they were all minor matters."
Luo Xiu didn't intend to explain to Grahamt. Instead, he took out a piece of paper, handed it to Grahamt, and smiled:
"I just want you to help me find someone."
Grimes looked at the piece of paper that Luo Xiu handed him with surprise and doubt. It looked like a corner of a newspaper with a group photo of a large family on it. The faces all looked familiar.
who is it……
His gaze swept across the group photo, his pupils gradually contracted, and then his entire head began to tremble as he looked at Luo Xiu:
"It's you……"
"Shh-"
Luo Xiu put his index finger to his lips and smiled:
"You know who I'm looking for, right?"
"..."
"..."
Grimes's face was bitter:
"Larry came to me for help, so I did it for him. We have no grudges against each other. If this causes you any trouble, I—"
"Enough with the nonsense, Lord Gremt."
Luo Xiu's smile faded slightly.
He may not hold a grudge about what happened before, but if Grimes thinks he has only caused himself a little trouble, he is sorely mistaken.
When it comes to matters of life and death, there are no such things as minor troubles.
Seeing the cold glint in Luo Xiu's eyes, Grimes immediately stopped explaining, swallowed hard, and slowly said:
"I don't know where Larry is."
"You don't know now, but you can know, right?"
Luo Xiu's smile returned:
"Just like you knew where I was back then."
……
……
"found it."
Luo Xiu walked out of the room and came to White, who was sitting on the edge of the boat enjoying the sea breeze.
As the sun sets, it hides most of its body beneath the distant sea surface, its remaining rays turning the water orange-red. With the swaying of the waves, the surface shimmers and sparkles like scattered gold.
"Hmm, are you going to do it yourself?"
White took the note from Luo Xiu.
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Xiu smiled, grabbed a chair from the side, and sat down next to White:
"If you're not confident, I can also step in."
"You've changed, kid."
White reclined in his chair, looking completely at ease, his goatee fluttering in the sea breeze.
"If it were you in the past, you would have chopped him into pieces yourself."
People change.
Luo Xiu uttered a clichéd line, then magically produced a teapot and two teacups from behind his back, looking at White:
"After you went to the capital, did you still enjoy drinking tea?"
White laughed:
"You've really changed; you've started to enjoy life."
"It's not about enjoying life."
Luo Xiu tilted the teapot, and the boiling tea slowly flowed down into the cup, sending up wisps of white steam.
"I am enjoying this world."
He took a sip of tea. The distant sunset and the sea were incredibly tranquil, with only the occasional cries of seagulls in the sky reminding him that the twilight was not yet over.
He is indeed a very boring person, and this scene is the life he longs for.
At this moment, he was truly enjoying this wonderful yet dangerous world.
……
After finishing his tea, Luo Xiu called Leila, Tassanya, and Basil into the room.
"Meeting now."
Luo Xiu spoke, and the three people opposite him obediently sat down.
Basil hadn't initially planned to sit properly, but after seeing what the other two were doing, she decided to be more mindful and less rebellious for the time being.
"I'm about to say something very important."
Luo Xiu spoke slowly, his expression unusually serious.
He then explained that secondary relatives could choose an agent.
Leila and the other two stared wide-eyed at the news.
They were well aware of what this agent meant. Given the speed at which Luo Xiu's abilities were improving, perhaps one day, Luo Xiu would truly be able to bring the entire country under his control.
