Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild
Chapter 711 - 347: Sub-grade Star Soul
Meimei raised her hand, and with a slight casting, a flow of water slipped through the crack of the door into the room, while the outside water spread over her delicate palm, vibrating slightly, making the sounds inside much clearer.
As the darling of water, she showcased such a technique.
A quarrel was happening inside the room.
The quarrel was between a somewhat hoarse female voice and an even hoarser, older male voice, the latter likely belonging to Karon.
"Dad, stop being obsessed with those outdated ideas. Do you still want to be that king of yours? Look at your life, even the shipyard might not respect you—"
"Shut up! Mary, how dare you talk to me like that?"
Karon’s voice was full of authority, but also suppressed anger and disbelief.
"That’s because I’ve seen different sights these days."
The woman named Mary, who called the old man Karon ’Dad’, should be middle-aged, hence her somewhat hoarse voice.
"The Holy Speriel Empire, it’s an Empire, they can easily bring out such Celestial Team Level combat power. Isn’t it way off from the kingdom you dreamed of? You only have an ignition key and haven’t even seen the shadow of that big ship. Meanwhile, I’ve seen the gigantic monster battleship manufactured by the Empire."
The sound of a cane hitting the ground came from inside, clearly showing that Karon was infuriated.
"Mary, you’re the most worthless of my children, but you should at least recognize whose wealth you are enjoying. You should also have some understanding of the bigger picture!"
Karon’s cane slammed onto the floor again, making a thud sound.
"Though the Empire is powerful and a good partner, ensuring independence and power is essential to call it a partnership; otherwise, it’s like sending oneself as fresh meat into their mouths. The Ancient Battleship is the dependency we must grasp."
"Is that so? You patriarch have controlled everything in our lives, and the brothers competed for power for you, resulting in their deaths." Karon’s daughter said sarcastically.
"You scoundrel!"
Karon cursed fiercely and began coughing violently, with his secretary quickly patting his back to ease him.
Once the old man caught his breath, as if relieved, he was no longer annoyed and sighed: "Forget it, I shouldn’t have expected anything from you. Seeing your fanfare, calling me here claiming to have important discoveries to discuss, I thought you’d changed."
"Of course, but you just didn’t listen to me. Haha, let me introduce, my sweetheart."
"A pretty face, you’ve played with so many men, each of them telling me that it’d anger me to death."
What does this mean? Is there a family drama unfolding inside?
Outside the door, Li Ang, Farina, and Morales exchanged puzzled glances, while Meimei quietly explained to them: "I can see inside. It’s a young man, always hugging that woman named Mary."
"Why didn’t you say earlier, is there anyone else?"
"Three Sky Knights."
"It should be Boliya and his crew. Why were they called here?"
Li Ang was a bit surprised, those three guys were still under his Spiritual Driving. However, when he’s absent, they would act according to the original pattern; who could’ve summoned them?
"Just listen to me, you’re wary of the Empire; we can collaborate with another powerful group, a strong Celestial Group, what do you think? Once we find the Ancient Ship, with these sky warriors, especially my sweetheart at the helm, it would surely conquer the skies!"
"Those Celestial Group members were brought here by the Empire. Do you have the ability to ally with them?"
"Then guess who my sweetheart is?"
Outside the door, Li Ang listened more and more intently. He looked at Farina and Xiaomo, and their expressions were gradually changing too.
With tacit understanding, he felt that the two of them had the same guess as he did.
"Could it be?"
"Is it possible?"
"Perhaps it is."
Seeing the three of them as if hit by a huge shock, but not overly shocked, Meimei and Meluna exchanged a rare glance, full of confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
"Meimei, let me ask you, that ’sweetheart’ in the room, what does he look like?" Li Ang took a deep breath.
Seeing Li Ang and his two friends suddenly becoming serious, Meimei, although unaware of the reason, also became serious and said, "He has a bit of a round face, a bit like a baby face young man..."
"No need to say more."
Li Ang, Morales, and Farina all showed an instant of extreme horror on their faces, but quickly shifted to an extremely serious attitude.
"Break in immediately." Li Ang stood up, raising his monster-strengthened Demon Arm, and punched the door.
As the wooden board burst into countless fragments, chaos erupted inside. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
A young man with a baby face stood in the middle of the room, his right hand’s alien blade piercing the chest of the old man seated in a wheelchair, and his left hand’s ripple dagger stabbed through the belly of the middle-aged woman still holding him.
"...he’s the leader of The Soul Apex. Quickly, give him the ignition key..."
The woman’s latter half of the sentence wasn’t even finished.
Her chubby face changed from affection to surprise, confusion, and fear, but as an ordinary person, her life was taken in an instant, falling to the floor, becoming a corpse.
"Poor woman, even to death she didn’t realize she was enslaved by lust, indulging in a dream she made up for herself."
The crystal cage hanging at the young man’s waist sparkled brightly, blocking all the splintered door wood from outside.
Without even glancing at the intruders, he continued to look at the yet-to-die old man, sneering contemptuously: "You are a failure too. You spent your life and couldn’t completely control even one shipyard. Your family isn’t your right hand, not even considered pawns, but rather your burdens.
"Ah, your life only provided me a clue about the City of the Ship’s Rudder and such a grade of ancient creation, so it wasn’t lived in vain."
"You won’t find where I’ve hidden..." the old man said with a twisted face of resentment.
"This is the self-importance of the weak. When your daughter brought me into this room, I already knew where things were. Letting you perform one last act was just out of pity for you."
Karon glared wide-eyed and finally breathed his last.
"Let me see, uninvited, who are these uninvited guests—"
The young man turned around, the surprise evident on his baby face interrupted his composure for a moment, but he immediately resumed his deliberately indifferent expression.
"Ah, unexpected indeed, the lagging witch, thief, summoner are all gathered here."
Brandishing the blood on his alien blade, Rams dual-wielded weapons, top-tier magic-enhanced equipment across his body glowing, standing confidently against the intruding crowd.
