Not long after.

In the deep sea.

After forcibly stopping the growing underwater vortex that may cause huge problems.

A certain [Eclipse Stage Awakener] belonging to the [City of Cross] directly pulled out a seriously injured guy from the middle of the whirlpool.

Although not only did he not die.

It has not completely lost its combat capability.

But the other party now has no intention of fighting.

Look around.

His demeanor and behavior were almost like a dead salted fish.

And he is a dead salted fish who has lost his dreams.

The slap from Xi Shenlian and the complete destruction of his exclusive fleet obviously dealt a heavy blow to the other party.

Especially the former.

Xi Shenlian had no idea how much damage that painful and loud slap had caused to an old creature who was only a few hundred million years old.

What is hurt is not only the body, but also the dignity!!

Being slapped in public.

It was something the other person had never experienced in his life.

This is true even when the opponent is at its weakest.

In addition, he could clearly sense that the owner behind that power was not someone he could compare to...

so.

He felt that the other party was on the side of [City of Cross], so he simply chose to play badly where he was.

No more struggling.

After all, that would probably just result in a couple more slaps.

Then why bother! ?

There is absolutely no need.

So he chose to lie quietly in the center of the whirlpool and wait for someone to come and rescue him.

but.

He didn't know that the person who made the move had nothing to do with the City of Cross and was just a random guy wandering around.

What's more, they didn't know that the strong men in [City of Cross] didn't dare to act rashly when they saw him lying in the center of the whirlpool for a long time without any movement, for fear that he was secretly planning some super move. They waited for a long time until they were completely sure that there was no unnecessary movement before running over to rescue him.

But when the people from [City of Cross] came to rescue him.

After they met, his first words immediately silenced the other person:

"Did that unknown strong man send you here?"

"You don't even bother to look at me. How arrogant you are... but you have the capital to be arrogant..."

"To be honest, I never thought that your [Hanhai Sea Nation] would have such a deep foundation. It seems that I thought too simply..."

Hear these words.

The people of [Hanhai Sea Nation] had very direct thoughts in their minds:

'What on earth is this guy talking about?'

"I don't even bother to look at you?"

"Is there any background?"

"What background?"

Although they were all high-level officials of the [Hanhai Sea Kingdom], or even the management, they were still stunned by the other party's words.

"Did this guy misunderstand something?"

In a subconscious state.

This idea immediately emerged in the minds of many powerful people.

As they knew the [Hanhai Sea Nation] inside and out, they thought that the other party might have misunderstood something.

However, after thinking for a while.

Everyone instinctively thought of another possibility.

Do we really know everything about the [Hanhai Sea Kingdom]?

Are there any secrets hidden in [The Vast Sea Country] that we and others are completely unaware of?

Was the situation that occurred before due to those secrets?

After thinking carefully about this idea, they suddenly felt that the truth of the matter might not be as simple as they had previously thought.

perhaps.

Who knows, there might be some big secret hidden in the [Hanhai Kingdom]...

My thoughts were led astray on the spot!!!

…

A few hours later.

"ah?"

Facing the cryptic inquiries from his subordinates.

The [Hanhai Water Kingdom - Supreme Ruler], who was located in the rest of the [Hanhai Water Kingdom], directly expressed his sincere doubts.

"secret?"

"What secret?"

"What are you talking about?"

Although he was quite satisfied with his subordinates' successful capture of the troublemaker.

But he was still confused by the words of his subordinates.

He had absolutely no idea what the other person was saying.

And faced with this answer.

His subordinates were also a little skeptical.

He wasn't quite sure whether his boss really had no hidden cards or just didn't want to reveal them for the time being.

A sentence.

No matter how unreasonable it is.

As long as we imagine it enough, we can all rationalize it.

However, no matter how much you imagine it, things still have to be logical.

So after thinking about it for a while.

They still beat around the bush and told the previous situation and their guesses one after another, and their boss was also stunned...

…

That evening.

After some trouble.

Those [Awakeners in the Eclipse Stage] of the [Hanhai Sea Nation] finally followed the simple and crude method of elimination and set their sights on Xi Shenlian.

I can only say.

The elimination method is really useful~

Although simple and crude, it does contain profound truths.

As long as all suspicious targets can be completely eliminated, the truth of the problem will basically be revealed.

The only problem is that it is extremely time-consuming and laborious to eliminate, and it may take forever.

"...So, the strong man who had taken action to stop the violators before was actually Lord Xishen?"

Looking at the purple-skinned female humanoid sitting in front of him drinking juice, Xi Shenlian didn't know what race the other party was, but knew that the other party was one of the managers of [City of Cross], so he immediately replied indifferently:

"right."

"But you don't need to thank me."

"The reason I took action was simply because that idiot's attack affected me."

"There is no other reason, and it is not a heroic act."

"Of course, if you really want to give me some extra compensation, I don't mind..."

His words revealed that he didn't care at all about the matter, as if he was just talking about some trivial issues that were insignificant.

Hearing the presence of the person on the other end, all they could do was smile awkwardly and didn't know how to respond.

"Idiot..."

"If Mr. Rory Stanley heard you say this in person, he would probably be very sad..."

The Rory Stanley she was talking about was none other than the guy who had been slapped hard by Xi Shenlian before.

Because of his special identity, strong strength and good background.

Even though Rory Stanley caused destruction in the [City of Cross], killing a certain number of innocent people and damaging a certain amount of buildings, and was caught on the spot afterwards, the [City of Cross] still chose to treat him with courtesy and did not really treat him as a prisoner.

Even when official personnel talk about each other, they still choose to use respectful terms such as "Your Excellency".

It is true that doctors should not be punished.

This fully demonstrates that as long as you have strength and status, you can be willful.
