Chapter 451 - Blood Debt
"Do you know why I didn't take your words to heart despite you reminding me again and again that such a situation might occur?"
Lei Luo forced himself to stand up from the bed and sat down on the chair beside the bed with Morton's help.
"I think you have your reasons."
"That's the bad part." Lei Luo shook his head.
"Everyone has too much confidence in me, including myself. The reason why I have this confidence is because if they were a few days later, there would be a new fleet arriving at the Holy City of Beauty."
"Another new fleet? Where is it?"
Morton's eyes widened, like a gambler who had lost all his money and saw the light of hope.
"According to the original plan, they should have already moved into the Holy City of Beauty in another day. However, after this incident, they had no choice but to change their plans. They will be stationed in a city of Satan's Wings. That city is less than 100 kilometers away from the Cape of Good Hope."
When Lei Luo said this, he paused for a moment before continuing, "There was a person named Katz. He used to be the vice-captain of a pirate gang in the free seas. Later on, he was infected with a strange virus that caused his entire body to deteriorate. Therefore, he retired and became a vagabond who wandered around. Before I left the mountains, I once won a sum of money for him by gambling. This allowed him to have the money to treat this virus. Logically speaking, his virus was extremely complicated, and it would take about two years to cure it. However, he was very lucky. When he went to treat the virus, he found out that he had just invented a special drug to treat the virus. Using the special drug, he only needed a month to recover all his abilities After that, Katz pulled a group of his former underlings who had been neglected from his original pirate gang and began to operate in the Free Sea. After half a year, his pirate gang quickly expanded from a small-scale team to a medium-scale pirate gang. However, after so many years of wandering, Katz himself no longer had high aspirations for a pirate career. When he first came out of retirement and reorganized the pirate gang, his goal was to gather some strength and then help me. When I persuaded the Grizzly Pirates to attack the Holy City of Beauty, Katz contacted me through my email. He asked me if I needed him to join. It was precisely because of his question that I wasn't satisfied with the current situation. I thought that we could quickly expand to a bigger situation."
He paused again and continued, "If there was an opportunity, why not do it? It was with this in mind that I started the next action. At the same time, it was also because of this that I was relieved to let Karman control the army. I thought, as long as Katz came, then his strength must be our iron rod, and that it would be enough to deter all the swing faction in the army. But I didn't expect that their actions would be faster than I thought..."
Lei Luo raised his head to look at Morton, his eyes carrying a hint of desolation.
"In the end, I was too confident...I will remember this lesson for the rest of my life."
"If this was the original, then I can't blame you for anything. You've thought about it carefully enough. It's just that Karman is too cunning."
When he said the name Karman, Morton couldn't help but grind his teeth.
"Unless we lie on the ground for the rest of our lives. As long as we can get up one day, we'll definitely find him and let him pay back this debt of blood a hundredfold or a thousand times over."
Lei Luo shook his head and said, "Naturally, Karman won't let it go. But, if we really talk about debt, the biggest debtor isn't Karman. Just by himself, he doesn't have the ability to control such a large-scale rebellion... he has someone behind him."
"Behind him...are you talking about Ulysses?"
Morton's eyebrows twitched. The matter wasn't that simple. This was something he knew long ago, but it directly involved such a high-level person, which still surprised him.
"I'm not sure. I haven't contacted Ulysses yet."
Lei Luo shook his head again.
"Before I left Ulysses, Ulysses gave me a magic communication beacon in private. He told me to use this magic communication beacon to contact him if I had any urgent matters.
"I'm currently testing the security of this magic communication beacon. The results should be available today or tomorrow. If I'm sure that this magic communication beacon is safe, I'll send him a letter to ask about the situation."
"You have to be so cautious when writing letters to Ulysses... "Morton suddenly understood as he said this, and his face revealed a look of shock. "Do you think that there's someone working with Ulysses?"
"I've been thinking about it carefully these past few days. For so many years, Karman has indeed been neglected and suppressed. Neither Ulysses nor his father are likely to really put him in an important position. Even if Ulysses wanted to do something like this, he wouldn't trust Karman to do it. However, it's hard to say. Perhaps he saw that I was certain that Karman wouldn't do this, so he asked him to come..."
Lei Luo pursed his lips and fell silent for a while. Then, he tapped the table with his fingers.
"No matter what, I still don't think it's natural if we assume that Ulysses was the mastermind, but if it's another person beside him, it seems logical."
Before Lei Luo could finish, Morton hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?"
"Right now, there's still no answer. I'm not sure yet."
Morton could tell that Lei Luo did not want to talk about this issue, so he changed the topic:
"All right, there's no rush to get to the bottom of this. What's most important now is to decide what to do next."
"I finally understand this world. You must have fresh blood in your hands. Moreover, it's fresh blood that you personally killed. It's so much that it's enough to make others fear your blood. Only then will others truly respect you."
When Lei Luo said this, he laughed coldly, and killing intent appeared on the corners of his brows.
"When I went to the Great Wall of Iron Blood, that Kronin evaluated me as a first-rate adviser, a second-rate general, and a ninth-rate king... Now that I think about it, his evaluation was very accurate. In the past, we were all too naive. We always thought of outsmarting others. We never thought that the things we outsmarted wouldn't be truly reliable. In the end, in this world, we still need to talk about strength. Therefore, we can not only obtain by intelligence but also obtain by force."
"Obtain...by force?" Morton looked at Lei Luo and finally repeated these two words.
"How do we obtain by force?"
