Chapter 604: Chapter 274: Yes, He is the Young Master_2

"Worst comes to worst, I’ll just join another game to free myself."

Gao Xin had already talked with Solomon and pre-selected a game.

Whenever he wished, he could call to join and there would be a sky warship to pick him up.

Though joining a game now meant he would enter at the gold-level difficulty, which was incredibly high.

But when faced with irresistible force, using the game to escape was a common tactic among the top warriors on the island.

The super games were high risk, but if reality presented an even more perilous deadlock, it was better than losing one’s life outright.

...

On the other side, the battle at Tongling Village had ceased.

Upon seeing Hai Ma appear, Wan Kai’s gaze intensified.

With Hai Ma arriving, that meant he now called the shots here.

Wan Kai knew very well that he was completely outclassed by this man, even at his peak.

He didn’t expect that Sea King Port would dispatch a Quasi-Dragon King just for him; they were giving him too much face.

However, it was also good that it was Hai Ma.

"Brother Kai, long time no see," Nato said with a smile.

Wan Kai shouted, "Hai Ma, can you let my people go first? I can die here."

Nato quickly said, "Don’t misunderstand, Brother Kai, I won’t harm your people, and I’m not here to kill you."

"Miss Sivina, please stop."

"We’ve already lifted the Execution Order on Tai Sui and Wan Kai."

Upon hearing this, Sivina ceased fighting and landed atop a ruined wall.

She bore no grudge against Wan Kai and was solely focused on Tai Sui.

Nato then tore the restraints off Gao Shu and the others and deployed the Repair Field to help detoxify them.

Seeing this, Wan Kai breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks, Hai Ma, I’ll remember this favor. I’ll take my people and leave now."

He leapt to where Gao Shu and the others were.

But Nato said, "Sorry, you can’t leave yet."

"There have been some misunderstandings between you all and Sea King Port, and I am here specifically to clear them up."

"I have already had a feast prepared to apologize to you."

Wan Kai immediately realized what was happening, "You want to recruit me to join Sea King Port?"

Nato smiled, "If you wish, Brother Kai, from now on, Sea King Port will be your home. If Tangren City dares to trouble you, I’ll handle it."

Upon hearing this, Fujihara Tomohiro remained silent, but it was his subordinates and Sivina who were shocked.

"What? That’s Wan Kai, the commander of the Dragon Guards of Tangren City!"

Nato took a deep breath and said, "He has already defected."

Sivina said in astonishment, "But hasn’t he killed so many of our people? Could the Seal brothers accept this?"

Sivina couldn’t help but be surprised; after all, Wan Kai used to be the True Dragon of Tangren City.

And Tangren City was at odds with Sea King Port.

They fought in every national war, every single one!

Wan Kai had killed many warriors from Sea King Port, and naturally, Sea King Port had also killed many from Tangren City.

After all, which True Dragon didn’t carry a weight of blood debts?

The two True Elephant Level enforcers present harbored deep hatred for Wan Kai, not because they were Fujihara’s men, but because of lingering past grudges.

Even if Nato convinced these Elephant Level warriors to let go, what about his brother Seal?

Seal didn’t like Wan Kai, and although they didn’t have a life-and-death feud, he held deep hatred toward Gao Long, the first City Lord of Tangren City.

After the Vermilion Bird Gate incident, Seal was all smiles, even lamenting that he hadn’t personally ended him.

And someone like Wan Kai, as long as he was alive, would surely seek revenge for Gao Long.

How could Seal agree to such a person joining Sea King Port?

Nato said firmly, "The current Tangren City is no longer what it used to be, and neither is Wan Kai."

"Brother Kai, if you’re willing, I’ll talk to Seal. There’s no actual feud between you two.

"If you join Sea King Port, we will naturally lift all restrictions on you, help you return to your prime, and not to mention other resources and treatment."

"As for your past conflicts with Lv Zhao and others, I promise that if a national war breaks out and you seek revenge against Lv Zhao, I personally will join you in that fight."

Wan Kai’s whole body shook upon hearing Nato’s promise, which hit right where he itched most.

He certainly wanted revenge; he dreamed of it.

For seven years, he had concealed his real name, living like a man who had lost everything.

Revenge seemed an impossible feat, and nobody knew better than him the depth of Tangren City’s strength.

He pinned his hopes on Gao Shu, waiting for the day she would grow into a True Dragon.

Yet even so, vengeance was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Let alone considering the power struggle, just speaking of Lv Zhao, without the strength of a Quasi-Dragon King, one simply had no qualification to challenge him.

And now, Hai Ma Nato, also a legendary Quasi-Dragon King, had actually agreed to help him take his revenge.

The allure was too great.

However, the condition was to join Sea King Port, which made things quite complicated.

The two cities were sworn enemies, after all. Would he really turn against old acquaintances from Tangren City in the future?

If there was a chance, not just Sea King Port but the entire Evil Dragon Empire would hope to annihilate Tangren City.

He hated Lv Zhao, he hated Han Ziming and those people, but his feelings towards Tangren City ran deep, and he didn’t want it to suffer a catastrophic disaster.

His desire for revenge also included supporting Gao Shu to replace Lv Zhao and take over the management of Tangren City.

If he joined Sea King Port, then this plan would come to nothing. Could it be possible to use Sea King Port to take revenge and then defect afterward? That would likely lead to a situation spiraling out of control, a situation he definitely couldn’t handle.

"Sigh..."

Wan Kai was truly tempted, but after much contemplation, he still refused, saying, "I’m sorry, Hai Ma, I really appreciate your regard for me."

"But from the beginning to the end, I’ve always been a person of Tangren City, and I will die as one."

"I will never betray Tangren City. The one defining me as a traitor is Lv Zhao, he’s the real turncoat!"

Hearing this, Nato gave a wry smile and said, "I can understand you, don’t worry, it’s okay if you disagree."

"But if you don’t join any force, what can you rely on for revenge?"

Wan Kai had no response, as the nation’s wars had raged on for so many years without a single one of the three countries and nine cities falling.

Even the top-tier figures had scarcely died.

Looking back through the history of the entire island, the most devastating Dragon-level loss was that internal conflict within Tangren City...

It could be said that it was impossible for any individual to bring down Lv Zhao; the best option was to join another force and use their strength.

Yet he was reluctant to join any hostile forces, willing only to consider alliances like Milan, but the entire order of Milan wouldn’t accept him. They recognized Lv Zhao, who presided over Tangren City and its nearly twenty Dragon-level figures.

Why would they ruin their alliance with Tangren City over one Wan Kai?

The ideal way for Wan Kai was to wait for Gao Shu to rise and, together with her, kill Lv Zhao, then take control of Tangren City with the prestige of the former City Lord, resolving the matter with a political coup that didn’t involve external forces.

"Is it the orphan of Gao Long?" Nato, seeing him silent, suddenly spoke out.

Wan Kai responded with a calm expression, "It seems you all believe that the City Lord still has descendants alive."

He knew some people would speculate about this. He had lain low for seven years and had been forced to reveal himself to save someone, leading to being chased down. Was he just bored?

But let them guess. He had already been exposed, so as long as he didn’t admit it, it didn’t matter.

Unexpectedly, Nato chuckled and asked, "Is it Tai Sui?"

At this, Wan Kai was the one who was truly surprised.

Hmm? Tai Sui? Is that what everyone thinks?

Wan Kai, lost in his own perspective, suddenly realized that from the viewpoint of others, if there had to be suspicion about Gao Long having an orphan, of course, they would suspect Tai Sui.

The exposure occurred when he saved Tai Sui... If it weren’t for someone he absolutely had to save, why would Wan Kai have exposed himself?

True, he had acted to save Gao Shu, and Tai Sui had been saved incidentally, but in others’ eyes, Tai Sui would definitely seem the more noticeable one.

Who was Gao Shu? No one knew her.

But Gao Xin, on the other hand, had drawn far too much attention of late.

"So they suspect that Tai Sui is the City Lord’s orphan..."

"Come to think of it, if I were to say there’s no orphan, surely no one would believe me, so... should I let him stand in for now?"

Wan Kai’s mind started working quickly. The reason Gao Shu was still safe now was precisely because no one knew her identity.

Thus, even though Gao Shu had been captured, she was only treated as his subordinate to lure him in. The main target remained Wan Kai.

But such a situation couldn’t last forever. Once outside the territory of the Evil Dragon Empire, those from Tangren City pursuing him would definitely be concerned about this matter.

In due time, to be on the safe side, they might kill or capture everyone involved.

It might be better to let Gao Xin assume this identity for now. If things went south, at most Gao Xin would be captured, allowing the others to be spared, thus protecting Gao Shu.

"That’s right, the young master has been too high profile these days, and even I can’t cover for him anymore. I suppose you’ve all already guessed." After a moment’s thought, Wan Kai finally spoke.

He directly affirmed that Tai Sui was the orphan of the Gao family.
