When Joey saw Medes, the gray duck, flying towards him, he had no intention of catching him. He thought that the duck was Medes, and the image of catching him was too beautiful for him to bear.

He dodged to the side, and Medes missed his target and landed on the ground. However, Medes didn't dare to leave immediately. Instead, he spread his wings and swayed his plump body to hide in Joey's footsteps.

Joey glanced down at Medes at his feet and suddenly realized that the three female elves in front of him were indeed people he couldn't afford to offend.

Medes was at least fairly strong, yet he was so easily manipulated. If he didn't have a magic-resistant artifact, he would really be at their mercy if he encountered someone like that.

"Lady Lefreya, you misunderstand. This is not what I said. How could I dare disobey your instructions?"

Joey immediately explained that he didn't want to be turned into a duck again.

"Not you?"

Chris also looked suspicious. They had only arrived here yesterday, and only Joey knew about it. He had only been gone for a short while, and someone already knew about it. Who else could it be but him?

"It really wasn't me!"

Joey has an extremely strong will to survive.

He knew that if he didn't give a clear explanation, he would be in serious trouble.

He turned and walked to the door, closing it again, nearly stepping on Medes who was standing at his feet.

"My big boss came here last night. Although he didn't go inside, he sensed your presence!"

"Yesterday? You mean..."

"That's right, I'm talking about Field Admiral Garp!"

"Caw caw caw!"

As soon as Joey finished speaking, Medes started yelling, clearly remembering Marshal Karp's instructions not to let anyone know that he had gone to Ashfury City.

But Joey didn't care about all that; he just wanted to get through this hurdle first.

Besides, Field Marshal Garp isn't here right now. If a secret isn't known to the person involved, it will remain a secret, right?

"Garp?"

"Leviathan, that's the old man, the human marshal who went to the territory!"

"No wonder the person outside yesterday made me uneasy; it was him!"

Joey overheard their conversation and it seems they've figured things out; the misunderstanding should be cleared up now.

"Bang!"

Just then, Medes, who was standing at Joey's feet, also returned to human form. He stared at the three female elves in front of him, and despite his bravery and skill in battle, he still felt a trace of fear.
