Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Then, the old fisherman controlled the cannon on the fishing boat, aimed at the cruise ship, and shouted loudly: ”This is the sea area of Divine Concealment Island, please return immediately, or we will open fire!”

Seeing this, the captain of the cruise ship felt the hair on his back stand up. With a pained expression, he said to the woman beside him, ”Miss Xu, you see, Divine Concealment Island is truly not a place we can enter!”

Rambling on, the captain said, ”I heard before that some of our peers entered the sea area of Divine Concealment Island, and the whole ship was bombarded. They had to row back on a small boat!”

”We should turn back.” The captain wanted nothing more than to retreat quickly.

Xu Xingguang gave the captain a reassuring smile and said, ”Don’t worry.”

Picking up the captain’s intercom, Xu Xingguang said with a hint of a smile, ”Uncle on the other side, please inform your pilot that his fiancée Xu Xingguang has arrived!”

The old fisherman was dumbfounded.

In his lifetime of countless sea trips, he had encountered many smugglers, but this was the first time he heard someone dare to joke about their pilot.

The old fisherman was skeptical but still recorded their conversation and reported it to the security department immediately.

The head of the security department of Divine Concealment Island was a loyal subordinate of Huo Wen’an, named Zheng Qin.

Zheng Qin was sipping milk tea and put on headphones to listen to the information from the fishermen. When he heard the name ’Xu Xingguang’, he bit down hard on the pearl in his mouth.

He quickly asked the old fisherman, ”What does the other party look like?”

The old fisherman had been waiting for Zheng Qin to give the order to open fire.

Suddenly hearing the minister ask about the appearance of the woman, the old fisherman was surprised.

Could it be that their pilot really has a fiancée?

The old fisherman was startled and immediately picked up his binoculars to look towards the captain’s cabin, only to see a woman standing in the hallway outside the cabin.

She was wearing a purple strap dress, her silk shawl and long hair swaying together in the wind. Standing there quietly, the old fisherman thought he saw a Greek goddess.

The old fisherman, lacking in education, honestly answered Zheng Qin, ”Looks like a fairy.”

Zheng Qin: ”...”

That’s because you haven’t seen the fairy’s fierce demeanor in the underground beast fighting arena.

”Let them pass, wait for my notification.”

With that, Zheng Qin quickly picked up the phone to call Zheng Lie.

Things were a mess on Zheng Lie’s end.

Last night, Huo Wen’an attended a Huo Family banquet. Halfway through the meal, he suddenly dropped his chopsticks and fell to the ground with the chair, lying there in agony, screaming terribly, terrifying the entire Huo Family into silence.

After Huo Wen’an collapsed, Old Sir Huo, in a panic, quickly called for Ye Mingluo and sent Huo Wen’an to the island’s hospital.

But through the whole night, Huo Wen’an’s condition did not improve.

The Huo Family waited outside, and despite the soundproof wall, they could hear Huo Wen’an’s screams.

Outside the corridor, Old Sir Huo, tightly gripping his cane, asked the butler with an unstable voice: ”What does General Luo say?” They were urgently contacting the Medicine Farmer Star.

The butler handed the phone to Old Sir Huo, ”Pilot, you should personally ask General Luo.”

”Luo Xiangyue, it’s me.” Huo Canghai asked directly, ”Where is the Medicine Farmer Star?”

Upon hearing the name Medicine Farmer Star, the expressions of the Huo Family members standing behind Old Sir Huo changed subtly.

It seems the rumor that the Old Sir was seeking the Medicine Farmer Star to cure Huo Wen’an was not false.

Whatever Luo Xiangyue said made the Old Sir hang up the call in anger. ”Bastard!” The Old Sir pinched his brow, feeling troubled, when suddenly a stranger’s voice interjected –

”Lord Captain.” Huo Canghai was still alive, so everyone continued to address him as Lord Captain.

Huo Canghai frowned and looked towards the speaker.

It was a tall, broad-shouldered young man with striking eyebrows and eyes, standing beside Mrs. Huo’s second son, Huo Wenbei.

Huo Canghai looked at the man and then asked his grandson, Huo Wenbei, ”Wenbei, who is he?”

Huo Wenbei bore some resemblance to Huo Wen’an, after all, they were brothers. They had similar looks, but Huo Wen’an gave people the feeling of a sinister, mysterious poppy flower.

Huo Wenbei, on the other hand, seemed like a lotus flower, with a clean, serene demeanor that was aloof and transcendent.

Upon his grandfather inquiring about the man’s identity, Huo Wenbei answered Huo Canghai, ”Grandfather, he is Jiang Mantian’s only son, Jiang Heng, the richest man in West Continent City.” Pausing briefly, Huo Wenbei added, ”He is an old friend. Since he was not feeling well, I invited him to Divine Concealment Island to recuperate and visit.”
