Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314
"It’s me." Sun Daren took out the Command Token: "National Master, do you want to try to snatch it from my hands?"
Indeed, the National Master had this idea, but she hesitated three times and ultimately gave up. The National Master had truly lost confidence. With her repeated probes, she proved that Sun Daren was the one who carried the fate of the Wood Dynasty. Although she still insisted that her realm was above Owen Bertram, such a person would always have different opportunities and chances. If she attacked, could she really win?
If she attacked and eventually lost, without being able to suppress Owen Bertram, she might have truly sent Sang Island into the Road of Despair by her own hands! Owen wouldn’t let Sang Island go with his personality.
If the National Master was alone, she wouldn’t lack the courage to attack, even if she knew she would lose, but she would still strive to fight! However, if she implicated Sang Island... The National Master sighed softly in her heart, not wanting to say a word, just silently turned around and walked away along the long street.
Sun Daren was puzzled: he clearly felt the murderous intent from the National Master, but she didn’t attack him?
There was even a moment when Sun Daren suspected whether the National Master was attracted to him. Of course, this absurd joke idea flashed by, but what medicine was the National Master selling in her gourd?
"Upon returning this time, I must order Jone to thoroughly investigate the inside information of Sang Island. The one that could make the National Master hesitate to attack would not be me. The answer must be within Sang Island."
Sun Daren put away the Command Token, and once again performed the Heavenly Butterfly Change, turned around and went back to the inn, telling Aunt Doris, "There won’t be any more problems in the future." The Treasure Fishers looked at Sun Daren enviously. In their minds, Sun Daren was still the lucky one who could get the Seven Mountains Divine Artifact reward. The level difference made the vision gap so huge.
Oliver received his reward, which was a gold coin worth the same as a Six Mountain Divine Creation. The National Master gave him the gold coin when she returned. Yutomi Jūrō was dead, and the National Master’s plan failed, but the information Oliver provided was true, and the National Master kept her promise.
Oliver fled overnight, not knowing what exactly had happened. The person who originally contacted him disappeared, and only the noble lady returned alone. Oliver believed something must have happened!
He fled the city and immediately followed a small road to escape. Not many people knew about this road, and the newcomer was even less likely to know about it. The night was pitch black, and Oliver ran as fast as he could, only hearing his own rapid panting in the silent night.
Suddenly he stopped. It was too quiet, something was wrong!
Sun Daren looked around suspiciously and suddenly turned around. His whole body jumped back like a frightened rabbit. He saw the newcomer, who followed him like a ghostly shadow with both hands, neither fast nor slow!
Sun Daren shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, human hearts are insatiable like a snake swallowing an elephant. Our acquaintance should have been a happy memory, but your greed has turned it into a disaster for you."
Oliver’s face remained astonished, slowly becoming rigid, and his vitality was drained from his body. Sun Daren turned around and went back to the city, and Oliver’s corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
Before his death, his last thought was: I should have listened to Joel’s advice; that fellow is really wise!
Joel got up early, packed up his things, and continued fishing for treasure. When he arrived at the spot, he saw that the others were already there, but Oliver was missing. He shook his head secretly, suspecting that Oliver hadn’t listened to his advice and wouldn’t have a good ending.
"The two Athena Divine Creations still couldn’t satisfy him."
Then Joel saw the newcomer from yesterday, walking along the Road of Despair, and forced a smile: "Will you fish for treasure today?"
"No, I’ll go a little further and have a look at the scenery."
Joel subconsciously wanted to persuade him but wisely shut his mouth. Oliver disappeared, and the newcomer appeared. It was evident that the bandits in the mountains wouldn’t be dangerous in the eyes of this person.
After Sun Daren left everyone’s sight, he took out the Command Token and stepped onto the Road of Despair.
Behind Sun Daren, the National Master bit her lips, also following him, even if she didn’t have the Command Token, she still wanted to try again!
