Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 581 - 299: Qian Luan’s Utopia (Part 2)

"Father!"

"Hua Yu" softly began.

The seated middle-aged man did not immediately reply, instead finishing the page of the book in his hand before raising his head: "Back again? Sit, how did things go?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, "Hua Yu" obediently moved a chair and sat in front of the man, then quietly began: "The leader ordered us to discuss the incorporation with the main pirates of the Pirate Alliance, but to demand immediate surrender, such reasoning..."

"We’ve tried to deliver the message as gently as possible, but it still angered the major pirates, directly provoking their attack."

"If it weren’t for our side having a powerful expert forcibly suppressing them later, I fear we might not have safely returned."

Upon hearing "Hua Yu’s" words, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, then sighed lightly, speaking softly: "Child, what do you think of the leader...?"

"The leader?"

"Hua Yu" was taken aback, quickly replying: "Father, the leader saved our sect from the Sin Domain, he is indeed our savior."

"Moreover, our ancestors were originally part of the leader’s followers, and now having been rescued by the leader, we should naturally devote ourselves wholeheartedly to repaying him."

"Hua Yu" spoke seriously.

"Our savior?"

The middle-aged man’s gaze suddenly sharpened, his eyes fixed on "Hua Yu," and he spoke firmly: "I previously recommended you to the sect to leave the Sin Domain. At that time, the sect’s task for you was to feign alliance with the Divine Hall, while secretly siding with the Ocean Court, to atone for the sect’s sins and help us escape the Sin Domain." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Why have I not heard anything about the progress of this matter?"

"By the plan, the leader was not necessary to save us; your actions should have given our sect a chance to enjoy legal release. Why did we ultimately end up in opposition to the Ocean Court?"

Hearing the middle-aged man’s interrogation, "Hua Yu" opened his mouth, then evasively replied: "Father, the situation was complex. I tried to establish contact with the Ocean Court at the time, but Divine Hall’s management was extremely strict, surrounded entirely by their spies. I found no opportunity to reach the Ocean Court, so..."

"Ultimately, we could only rely on the leader..."

"Child."

At this moment, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes: "Why were all the other people from the sect sent out dead, except for you who returned alive?"

At this moment, the Alchemy leader intentionally isolates those brought out from the Sin Domain by the Alchemy Sect, worried about revealing the location, so the middle-aged man did not know another Alchemist besides Hua Yu survived.

He only knew from sect rumors that, in the entire Sin Domain, only Hua Yu returned alive from the Divine Hall battlefield.

"Father, this..." Hua Yu stammered and then replied: "I was about to die at the time, but the leader intervened and saved me, which is why we could save you all afterwards."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man’s expression gradually cooled, he sneered: "Then how did the leader and you break through the Ocean Court’s blockade, break in here, and rescue us?"

"The Sin Domain exterior is sealed by the complete Ocean Scripture and stationed Law Enforcers. Without being a peak captain, it’s utterly impossible to impact the Sin Domain even slightly."

"Wanting to break into the Sin Domain is only possible via one route: getting the Law Enforcers to voluntarily open a path for you and the leader to enter."

Each sentence the middle-aged man uttered left "Hua Yu" paler, his lips moved, his mind racing, quickly formulating excuses.

Seeing "Hua Yu" in this manner, the middle-aged man disappointingly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After a while, the middle-aged man reopened his eyes, looking at "Hua Yu", softly spoke: "You are not Hua Yu, are you?"

Upon hearing this, "Hua Yu" felt as if struck by lightning, he stared widely at the middle-aged man, quickly speaking: "Father, I am your son Hua Yu..."

The middle-aged man shook his head, speaking quietly: "Hua Yu’s Alchemy Soul Splitting Skill, I taught him personally... your soul is incomplete... you are not Yu’Er."

This sentence completely crushed "Hua Yu."

He sagged helplessly to the ground, wanting to speak, but only managed: "I... I... I..."

"Hua Yu’s" lips trembled, his eyes panicked.

But soon, he took a deep breath and raised his head sharply, his gaze suddenly fierce, a trace of murderous intent quietly peeked through his eyes.

However, when he looked at the middle-aged man in that instant, "Hua Yu’s" just-formed intent shattered quietly.

He was not Hua Yu.

But he inherited Hua Yu’s memories and emotions.

In his mind, the middle-aged man before him was his father; he could not forget the father’s strict yet hidden fond gaze, nor forget the years where his father taught him the alchemical Seal Pattern step by step.

How could one abandon family affection?

The greatest weakness of life forms made by Alchemy Soul Splitting is the void in the heart.

Facing the family affection he longed for, "Hua Yu"... or rather Qian Luan, suddenly knelt down, big tears flowed from his eyes.

"I’m sorry... I’m sorry... It’s not what I wanted..."

"I’m very scared... I’m very lonely... I... I’m sorry... I’m sorry... I’m really scared... he’s too powerful, I must listen to him..."

Qian Luan knelt to the ground, crying bitterly, sorrowful and helpless.
