King's Awakening Chapter 717

Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Docking!

Spirit Boat, cabin!

Hearing these words, Zachary's face sank abruptly.

White Mitchell just saved these guys' lives. Now they're returning the favor with treachery, even demanding that he capture him?

What, are they planning to kill White Mitchell too?

Zachary gave a cold laugh, his aura instantly turning icy.

The next moment, the atmosphere in the entire cabin was permeated with Zachary's presence, dropping suddenly to freezing point.

“What, are you planning to capture me too? Or, would you like to helm the Spirit Boat?” Zachary asked indifferently.

This…?

Faced with Zachary's intimidating demeanor, everyone was taken aback. They wanted to respond, but upon seeing the ferocious look in Zachary's eyes, they instantly shrank back, daring not to utter a word.

“A bunch of weaklings, only know how to stir up trouble, nothing more!” Zachary grumbled gruffly.

Had it not been the prestige of the Treasure Pavilion, he would not hesitate to slap them all. He couldn't stomach their attitude at all.

On the other side, everyone was furious at Zachary's dominance, but they didn't dare voice their anger.

The crowd then huddled together, covertly observing Zachary's movements. When Zachary was not paying attention, they dared to speak, “Guys, Zachary seems determined to protect that kid now. It won't be easy for us to make a move.”

“Fuck! I don't know what kind of magic potion those guys gave Zachary. He's even defending them. This is outrageous!” someone angrily exclaimed.

At this moment, someone shook his head and interrupted, “Now is not the time to worry about these things. The most pressing issue now is to get rid of that kid.

You have to understand that if we can take down that kid, the rewards from the four cities will be substantial.

If we can win the favor of the four cities, we won't need to risk our lives on the island anymore.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the favor of the four cities is worth more than a lifetime of hard work for ordinary people like them.

As individuals who had been walking on the edge of the blade for years, they were already tired and sick of such a dangerous life.

However, they had no other choice for survival.

But now things were different. A golden opportunity was right in front of them.

If they could help Mr. Leon get rid of White Mitchell, they could follow Mr. Leon and live a luxurious life.

Such a life was much easier than struggling for survival on the edge of the blade.

“So, what should we do now? Are we going to get rid of Zachary?” someone asked hesitantly.

Upon hearing these words, the rest couldn't help rolling their eyes.

What a joke, were they in a position to do anything to Zachary?

Let's not even talk about whether they could beat him, Zachary was a member of the Treasure Pavilion.

Throughout the Forbidden Land, how many people dared to challenge the Treasure Pavilion?

Moving against Zachary was simply suicidal!

Seeing the disdainful looks of the crowd, the man who had spoken shrank back in embarrassment, no longer daring to speak.

Then, the leader spoke up, “Stop talking about getting rid of Zachary. We can't touch him.

We should stick to the original plan and take action immediately once the Spirit Boat lands.

I don't believe that kid can escape!”

“But will Zachary intervene when the time comes?” someone asked worriedly.

“I don't think so. Zachary is protecting that kid only because he has been deceived. Once the Spirit Boat docks, Zachary will naturally come to his senses.” The man explained earnestly.

But after hearing these words, the crowd still looked worried.

Better safe than sorry.

If Zachary was determined to protect that kid, not only them, but even people from the four cities dare not act rashly.

At this moment, White Mitchell emerged slowly from the array room.

At this point, there was an air of fatigue on White Mitchell's face.

Obviously, even though he had borrowed the bloodline power of the Red Fire Azure Bird, manipulating such a large array alone was still quite exhausting for him.

Fortunately, the problem has been temporarily resolved for now.

Upon stepping out, White Mitchell noticed the strange looks from the crowd.

“You told them everything?” White Mitchell looked at Zachary standing beside him.

Zachary nodded, responding in all seriousness, “This is what I, Zachary, promised you. Now that you have done your part, it's only right that I give these insolent people a good scolding.

Don't worry, with me, Zachary here, they won't hurt you today.”

Upon hearing this, White Mitchell nodded and immediately turned around to find the God of Heaven War and the others.

Yet, Zachary once again spoke, saying, “I can protect you for a moment, but I cannot keep you safe forever.

How about this? Once the boat docks, you don't disembark. Instead, return home with me.

This way, you might still have a chance at survival. Otherwise, once I leave, these people will certainly attack you, as well as the people from the four major cities.”

Faced with Zachary's persuasion, White Mitchell smiled and shook his head: “Thank you, but I'm afraid I can't do that.”

Oh!?

Upon hearing this, Zachary was taken aback. He then looked at White Mitchell with surprise, “Your current situation is not at all optimistic, young man, I advise you not to test fate.

After all, even if you can safely make it to the Bald Dragon Island, I fear you'll end up dying there in the end.

The people from the four major cities will not let you off easily, and there are no few masters from the four cities who have come to Bald Dragon Island this time.

Your followers are simply no match for them.

Not to mention your folks, even I am struggling to deal with these many strong individuals.

If it weren't for my status in the Treasure Pavilion, I fear the people on this ship would have already made a move against you and your friends.

Listen to me and return with me after docking. I can introduce you to the Treasure Pavilion.

By then, if you have a position in the Treasure Pavilion, those people from the four major cities will not dare to lay a finger on you.”

White Mitchell gave a faint smile upon hearing this.

Zachary's proposal was indeed good, but joining the Treasure Pavilion would mean he would not be able to seek resources in the future.

Because the status of the Treasure Pavilion is transcendent and doesn't involve itself in worldly affairs.

If he joined, he would be surrounded by many constraints.

White Mitchell hadn't forgotten his mission and hadn't forgotten the fifty thousand soldiers who were still awaiting his return outside.

Thus, without any hesitation, White Mitchell politely refused: “Captain Zachary, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I have my resolve, so there's no need to persuade me further.

As for my personal safety, it's fine. As long as I can make it to the island, I'll manage everything else.

People from the four major cities are strong, but I am not weak either. If they choose not to provoke me, then it's all good. But if they insist on messing with me, they will have to pay a price.”

This…sigh…

Upon hearing these words, Zachary sighed helplessly.

In his opinion, White Mitchell was way too stubborn. His actions would only lead to his own death and the death of those around him.

As a powerless and insignificant individual, he was picking a fight with the four major cities. Wasn't this equivalent to throwing an egg against a rock?

Let alone him, even if it were Zachary himself, without the backing of the Treasure Pavilion, he wouldn't dare to provoke the people of the four major cities.

The major cities teemed with skilled fighters, a sight that no ordinary individual could cause trouble in.

At least, Zachary didn't see that possibility in White Mitchell.

In fact, Zachary could almost visualize White Mitchell dying at the hands of the masters from the four major cities.

He could indeed protect him until he landed on the island.

But, what after they landed?

Bald Dragon Island was surrounded by water on all sides. Without the Spirit Boat of the Treasure Pavilion, there was simply no way to leave.

By then, White Mitchell wouldn't even be able to escape if he could sprout wings.

Moreover, danger lurked everywhere on Bald Dragon Island. Over the years, Zachary had seen far too many treasure hunters who boasted of their abilities, yet ended up falling on the Bald Dragon Island, turning into nothing more than dry bones on the island.

Normally, if one-third of the people on a ship make it out alive, it's already considered quite good.

In normal situations, not even one-fifth of the people survive.

The strongest among White Mitchell's group was only about the Innate Six Stages.

Such strength was simply disdainful on Bald Dragon Island.

Any random spiritual beast would be enough to deal with White Mitchell and his group.

Under such circumstances, were they still thinking about treasure hunting?

Of course, surviving should be the first priority!

Unfortunately, good advice often falls on deaf ears. The young man, White Mitchell, appeared to have taken his advice lightly.

“Sigh….not listening to an elder's advice, a young man reaps his own sorrow,” Zachary said with a sigh.

Upon hearing this, White Mitchell responded lightly: “Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive, and so will my companions.”

Stay alive?

Return back home?

Sigh…

An inner sigh brimmed within Zachary. As any sane person would think, White Mitchell and his comrades were unlikely to get out of this alive.

“Best of luck,” Zachary said, somewhat disappointed.

He had intended to help White Mitchell, who saved his life once.

With just his words and the fact that White Mitchell secured one of the Treasure Pavilion's Spirit Boats, the merit would be enough for White Mitchell to join the Treasure Pavilion.

Although his status may not be high, at least with the identity of the Treasure Pavilion, no one dares to trouble him anymore.

Unfortunately, the young man was too impulsive to appreciate this.

Since that's the case, Zachary couldn't say much more, so he silently wished White Mitchell well.

With rumbling…

Just as Zachary was sighing to himself, the Spirit Boat seemed to have touched something. A booming noise emanated from the hull and it rocked a little, before becoming calm again.

Phew!

Zachary let out a heavy sigh of relief, finally taking the weight off his heart.

Years of experience told him that the boat had reached shore; everyone on board was safe.

However…

Zachary unconsciously cast his gaze in the direction of White Mitchell and his group, feeling a hint of regret.

“We're ashore. Get ready to disembark,” Zachary announced, glancing at the people in the cabin.

Hit the shore?

Everyone, who had previously been calm, had a variety of expressions in their eyes as Zachary spoke.

We've arrived!

This meant they could finally take action against White Mitchell!

Wealth and glory are within reach!

Thinking this, everyone began to place their hands on their weapons, preparing to take action at a moment's notice.

The atmosphere in the cabin instantly became tense.

Seeing this, Zachary's face darkened as he coldly scanned everyone: “What are you guys doing? What's this all about?

You, who told you to draw your weapon? Who permitted you to resort to violence? And you, why that look? Are you trying to threaten me?

In a rush to disembark? Fine, no one is getting off, everyone stay where you are!”

What… What?

As those words lingered, everyone's expressions froze.

What the fuck is happening here?

I can't even touch my own weapon?

Even a glare becomes a problem now?

At this point, there was only confusion in everyone's hearts, unable to comprehend Zachary's intentions.

Zachary, having silenced everyone, turned and walked in White Mitchell's direction.

“Disembark now, the sooner, the better,” Zachary declared without hesitation.

Disembark?

Why can they disembark?

Witnessing this scene, everyone's expressions became a lot more animated.

A conspiracy!

This is outright possible, indeed a scandalous conspiracy!

At this point, everyone finally realizes.

Zachary's sudden outburst was only a pretext; his true intention was to protect White Mitchell and his companions.

This can't even be considered a conspiracy anymore; it's just ridiculously blatant.

However, coincidentally, the Spirit Boat belonged to the Treasure Pavilion and Zachary was the captain.

The captain himself was also a master of the Innate Nine Stages.

Everyone had no choice but to abide by his words, whether or not they wanted to listen.

Hearing this, White Mitchell nodded, shooting a glance of gratitude at Zachary. Without any hesitation, along with the three from the God of Heaven War, they left the cabin and headed toward the outside.

Whoosh!

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone's mood suddenly became anxious.

White Mitchell was a piece of meat that was already in their mouths, but now, they could only watch helplessly as it slipped away.

How could this not make them anxious?

In a short time, many people looked at Zachary, unable to restrain themselves from questioning him, “Captain Zachary, your actions are biased, shouldn't you provide us with an explanation?”

“That's right, Captain Zachary. We all paid with Blood Stones to board the ship, and now you're favoring that kid. Is this the way Treasure Pavilion operates?” someone chimed in.

“Exactly, Captain Zachary. Treasure Pavilion doesn't take part in worldly disputes. Are you breaking the rules of the Treasure Pavilion? Aren't you afraid that we will complain?” Everyone spoke indignantly, their words tinged with a hint of threat.

Upon hearing this, Zachary's facial expression turned cold. He sneered and responded scornfully, “Threatening me? You're qualified?”

Boom!

The moment his words fell, Zachary's momentum suddenly surged. The terrifying aura of the Innate Nine Stages filled the entire cabin in an instant.

Hiss!

The overwhelming pressure directly weighed on everyone, making them feel as if they were shouldering a heavy boulder in just one encounter, causing them all to gasp for breath.

Some weaker treasure hunters couldn't stand the crushing pressure and knelt on the ground.

The next moment, the entire cabin fell silent.

Hmm!

Seeing this, Zachary snorted coldly and said without turning his head, “A bunch of ants daring to challenge me, Zachary? Do you think you can teach me how to do things? That's ridiculous!

I'm not afraid to tell you that today, I'm going to intervene in this matter. If you have the guts, you should do the same and protect this Spirit Boat like that young man just did.

A bunch of heartless and ungrateful guys, I'll tell you straight, if it wasn't for that young man, you all would be dead by now!

If you want to complain about me, go ahead. If I was afraid of complaints, I wouldn't be doing this.

But, I'm warning you, your complaints might not take me down, but my revenge will make you regret it!”

Having said that, Zachary turned around and walked into the cabin, not caring about their reactions.

You!

Upon hearing Zachary's overbearing words, everyone was left speechless.

Indeed, Zachary was right. White Mitchell had helped the Treasure Pavilion save a Spirit Boat, so a small favor wouldn't affect Zachary's position in the Treasure Pavilion.

Perhaps the Treasure Pavilion might even think that Zachary hadn't done enough.

In this way, not only would they be unable to take down Zachary, but they might also suffer Zachary's revenge.

Moreover, even if they complained about Zachary later, what good would it do? Zachary was in control of the Spirit Boat now, and those guys had already disembarked.

No matter how much they complained, it wouldn't change the current situation.

Thinking of this, everyone felt incredibly stifled. However, they could only quietly remain in place, not daring to utter another word.

Meanwhile, after White Mitchell and the others had disembarked, they prepared to enter Bald Dragon Island.

However, at this moment, a Spirit Boat slowly appeared behind them.

The Spirit Boat that appeared belonged to none other than the representatives of the four major cities.

“Fuck! It's that kid? How could it be? Why is their Spirit Boat faster than ours? Shouldn't they have sunk?” Mr. Leon stood on the deck, staring incredulously at the nearby White Mitchell.

They too had been in a difficult situation earlier. Their Spirit Boat, representing the four major cities, had also been in a predicament.

They had exhausted a great deal of manpower and resources just to get their Spirit Boat ashore.

As far as they were concerned, the Spirit Boat carrying White Mitchell had neither strength nor Blood Stones and couldn't possibly withstand such precarious circumstances.

They had originally thought they could get rid of White Mitchell with ease.

However, to their absolute surprise, not only was White Mitchell unscathed, he had even landed before them.

Seeing White Mitchell safe and sound, Mr. Leon was so furious he felt like his lungs were about to explode!

“Worthless! Worthless! Bunch of worthless losers!!!” Mr. Leon was enraged.

At this moment, it seemed that White Mitchell had also noticed them. He slowly turned his head and looked at the Spirit Boat belonging to Mr. Leon and the others.

For a moment, their eyes met.

White Mitchell smiled teasingly: “Mr. Leon, you're too slow. Play by yourself, I'm leaving first!”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Leon became even more furious.

Aaaaah!!!

I'm going to kill you!

I'm going to kill you!!!
