Angel swiftly incapacitated him, and Jayson surveyed the ship, assuming the form of the helmsman before reverting to his true form. He thoroughly searched the helmsman and discovered two storage rings. Putting them away, he proceeded to inspect the ship's hull. Gently tapping the wooden surface, he identified a loose plank and removed it, revealing a hidden compartment.A triumphant grin spread across Jayson's face as he beheld the gleaming gold bars and additional storage rings within the compartment. he wrapped his divine sense around the gold bars and storage rings, and spirit stones, before storing them away in his own storage ring. Ensuring the compartment was concealed once more, he made his way towards the motionless helmsman lying on the floor.Unbeknownst to the sea pirates on the neighbouring vessel, the ship had already been anchored, eliminating any suspicion of Jayson's activities. Retrieving a jar of wine from his storage ring, Jayson surprised Angel, who expressed conce
Jayson turned his gaze towards the voice and was met with the imposing presence of seven muscular men. The air around them was heavy with an unmistakable aura, warning Jayson that these were individuals not to be taken lightly.As the deckhands busied themselves unloading the cargo from the ship, Jayson stood up and followed Angel, disembarking from the vessel. However, before he could fully step away, a commanding voice called out to him, capturing his attention. Jayson turned around and found himself face to face with the same man who had issued the departure orders earlier."Hey, you! Come over here," the man barked, his tone leaving no room for ambiguity. Jayson hesitated, unsure if the command was directed at him.The man's expression darkened, revealing his true identity as the chairman of the shipyard. He sneered, his anger clearly visible. "Of course, I'm talking to you. Get over here," he growled with irritation.Jayson studied the shipyard chairman intently, noting the way h
The shipyard chairman's eyes filled with delight as he extended an invitation to the young man from the Ji family, ushering him into a cozy dwelling within the shipyard. As they passed through the gate, it was promptly locked behind them, leaving the two standing in the tranquil courtyard.At the heart of the courtyard stood a majestic tree, its branches reaching towards the sky. Paved pathways meandered through the garden, leading to small fields and scattered flower beds."Are you absolutely certain that he possesses the reincarnation physique?" the shipyard chairman inquired, his voice tinged with a sense of disbelief.The young man replied confidently, "I am positive. My grandfather provided us with a portrait of him, ensuring that we would recognize him and swiftly report back, leading to his immediate capture."Curiosity piqued, the shipyard chairman requested, "May I have the portrait?""Of course" the young man from the Ji family presented the portrait to the chairman of the s
Jayson stood in stunned silence as he absorbed the unreasonable demands presented to him by the man behind the table at the city administration hall.The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense, prompting Angel to gently tug at Jayson's sleeve.After a moment of internal struggle, Jayson mustered a forced smile and reluctantly agreed, "Alright, I will pay it all."Jayson handed over the requested spirit stones to the man behind the table. The man sent a clerk to accompany Jayson outside of the city. Together, they journeyed to the eastern wing of the city, where the clerk measured out an entire acre of land and allocated it to Jayson.Once the land was marked, Jayson and the clerk returned to the city administration hall to complete the necessary paperwork. However, as the hours passed, darkness enveloped the city, leaving them with no choice but to retire for the night. Angel and Jayson ventured through the bustling streets until they returned to the inn.Just as they approac
After they were done with their dinner, they retired for the night.Under the cloak of darkness, the sea pirates stealthily anchored their ship at the dock town shipyard. Disembarking swiftly, they made their way towards the residence of the shipyard chairman."Jack," the shipyard chairman murmured in surprise as his servant informed him of the sea pirates' arrival."Allow them entry," the shipyard chairman instructed his servant, curiosity piqued. Moments later, the sea pirate was escorted into the room. "Chairman Lu Kahn," the sea pirate greeted respectfully, cupping his fists and bowing his head.Chairman Lu Kahn shook his head, signalling for the pirate to take a seat. Once settled, the shipyard chairman inquired, "Jack, we had agreed to meet in two days' time to divide the spoils. Why have you come unexpectedly? The province authorities have increased their patrols along the seashore due to the surge in pirate activities.""I'm well aware of the situation; the reason I'm here is
Jayson was left speechless by Angel's actions. He gazed at her pale face, shaking his head in disbelief. "Why are you so frightened? He's not going to harm you."A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Young Master Xia One's lips upon hearing Jayson's comment. Nevertheless, he calmly approached, pulled out a chair, and seated himself.Jayson locked eyes with Young Master Xia One and retorted, "I didn't invite you to join us. If you're going to stay, you'll have to cover the cost of our meal. If you agree, feel free to sit; otherwise, kindly leave."Young Master Xia One's expressionless face darkened, but he suddenly broke into a smile and replied, "That won't be a problem. I'll pay for the meal."The three waiters standing a couple of meters away trembled at the sound of his words. Even the innkeeper, who had just emerged from the kitchen, stumbled and nearly lost his balance.Hastily making his way over, the innkeeper bowed with cupped fists and exclaimed, "Young Master Xia One, the
Xia One gazed at his younger brother, who lay on the floor bitterly complaining with a blank expression, and spoke firmly, "Brother, enough with the tears. Come with me."Without giving his younger sibling a chance to respond, Xia One guided him away, leading him into his private chambers. He dismissed all the servants and slaves, ensuring they were alone."Brother, I need you to help me seek justice. How can I show my face in Xia City after this?" Xia Wo lamented tearfully.Observing his brother's distress, Xia One slammed his hand on the table in frustration, silencing Xia Wo before he could continue."Brother, you should lay low for now and accompany me to apologize to the individual you've wronged," Xia One stated with a stoic expression.Xia Wo gazed at his brother in disbelief. He never expected that his older brother, who had always stood up for him and forcefully dealt with those who crossed him, would now request that he come and beg for forgiveness from someone who had humil
With an air of arrogance, the haughty young man next to him disdainfully muttered before striding towards Jayson in a fit of pique. He positioned himself in front of Jayson.Upon seeing someone obstructing his path, Jayson furrowed his brow. "Why are you blocking the way? Do you lack manners, or are you unable to see?"The Xia family butler turned around and observed the situation. He swiftly positioned himself in front of Jayson, preventing the haughty young man from directly facing him. "Young Master Fred, he is an esteemed guest of the third young master, please," the Xia family's butler anxiously implored with clasped fists.The arrogant young man addressed as Fred looked down at Jayson with disdain, sneering and snorting in contempt. "Brother Xia must have been deceived by this weakling. His cultivation level is barely noteworthy and he's not even worthy of being associated with your young master. He's probably from that sorcerer tribe."The Xia family butler forced a bitter smil
