Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Bai Ze Island is full of criminals.

They are guilty.

Guilty of what?

Unwilling to resign to fate, delusional in challenging the authority of the Super Power Users, guilty of dreaming to fight for basic human rights.

Faced with Huo Wen’an’s inquiry, both White Eyebrow Old Zhang and Dongfang Ying fell silent.

After a moment, Dongfang Ying said, ”Mr. Huo, I am willing to work for you, but I am not a Super Power User, just an Ancient Martial Artist, I’m afraid I can’t be of much help.”

”As long as you’re willing, you can just be a mascot.” Huo Wen’an said seriously.

Dongfang Ying was stunned for a moment before realizing Huo Wen’an was joking.

It was a rather cold joke.

Dongfang Ying also relaxed a bit, and with a stern face, solemnly said, ”I will do my utmost to relieve Mr. Huo of his worries.”

Seeing Dongfang Ying express her stance, White Eyebrow Old Zhang pursed his lips, not rushing to state his position, but boldly asked Huo Wen’an, ”Mr. Huo, what do you intend to do on Bai Ze Island?”

Huo Wen’an looked at him, saying nothing.

White Eyebrow Old Zhang met Huo Wen’an’s gaze directly, risking his head hitting the floor, he asked, ”Do you want to be the king of the Bai Ze Realm?”

Dongfang Ying’s brows twitched, she subtly tugged at White Eyebrow Old Zhang’s sleeve, implying he shouldn’t offend Huo Wen’an.

But White Eyebrow Old Zhang moved Dongfang Ying’s hand away in front of Huo Wen’an and stared plainly and sharply at Huo Wen’an, waiting for an answer. ”Mr. Huo, please tell me.”

Huo Wen’an slightly furrowed his brows, responding with another question, ”What answer do you hope for?”

White Eyebrow Old Zhang showed a hesitant expression.

Huo Wen’an encouraged him with his gaze, ”Just speak your mind.”

White Eyebrow Old Zhang seemed hypnotized, genuinely speaking his mind. He said, ”If your purpose is to become the king of Bai Ze Island, then I have no intention of working with you.”

”I admit you are strong, but I have no interest in playing the game of ruling Bai Ze Island with a dictator. I am old, uninterested in achieving grand ambitions.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ying’s expression changed dramatically, she instinctively closed her eyes, feeling she would hear White Eyebrow Old Zhang’s head hitting the ground any second.

Xiao Qiao, on the other hand, looked calm.

To Dongfang Ying’s surprise, Huo Wen’an was not angered, but calmly explained, ”I’m not interested in ruling Bai Ze Island or proclaiming myself king.”

Dongfang Ying quietly opened her eyes, seeing Huo Wen’an’s indifferent expression, truly not angry at White Eyebrow Old Zhang, she sighed in relief.

White Eyebrow Old Zhang still looked contemplative.

Huo Wen’an suddenly mentioned, ”Perhaps you both have noticed, the relationship between Yan Wusheng and the Eastern Alliance is not as hostile as the outside world claims.”

Hearing this, White Eyebrow Old Zhang and Dongfang Ying looked at each other with slightly flickering eyes.

Clearly, they had already sensed the dubious nature of Yan Wusheng’s relationship with the Eastern Alliance.

”To tell you the truth, Yan Wusheng never betrayed the Eastern Alliance, he is a piece deliberately placed on Bai Ze Island under the pretense of rebellion. As for the role of this piece, I cannot yet disclose it to you.”

”Is that so...” White Eyebrow Old Zhang frowned, ”I suspected that old pervert wasn’t right, turns out his betrayal of the Eastern Alliance was just a sham.”

Dongfang Ying nodded, agreeing, ”I always said that scoundrel looked down on us, always thinking he’s superior to us. Turns out he’s not a criminal at all. In his eyes, we are all inferior criminals, who knows how much he despises us.”

White Eyebrow Old Zhang nodded, also agreeing with Dongfang Ying’s view.

Huo Wen’an gazed deeply at White Eyebrow Old Zhang and said, ”Uncle Zhang, you once were a renowned elite lawyer in the Super Power User’s legal realm, you almost never lost a case. As a lawyer, you were an absolute success, but you resolutely resigned at your most brilliant moment to seek justice for the common people.”

”Uncle Zhang, why did you do that?”

White Eyebrow Old Zhang let out a long sigh, remaining silent.

Huo Wen’an provided the answer for him, he said, ”Because the Divine Martial Realm was already deeply afflicted. This world’s technology developed in advance, but this advanced technology only serves the Super Power Users. The common people have lost their human rights, and the Super Power Users have become absolute rulers.”

”Uncle Zhang, you have realized that if the Divine Martial Realm continues like this, social civilization will rapidly regress. At that time, the common people might no longer be common people, but slaves forced to sell their human rights for a bite of food, to be used as livestock by the Super Power Users. You want to save the common people, so you resolutely stood on the opposing side of the Super Power Users.”
