Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds
Chapter 301 Surely there can't really be sword immortals, right?
Chapter 301 Surely there can't really be sword immortals, right?
"Radar detected a small cargo ship approaching Nathan Island. Judging from its trajectory, it is likely from the University of Tokyo area."
In the waters surrounding Nathan Island, more than ten kilometers away from the ship carrying Mo Yu and the others, a steel behemoth over three hundred meters long was quietly floating on the blue waves.
The carrier-based aircraft that constitute its deterrent power are parked on the deck like eagles.
Two blond, blue-eyed foreigners, dressed in sharp black suits, stood on the aircraft carrier deck, letting the salty sea breeze tousle their meticulously styled hair.
"It doesn't matter,"
Ron, with his slicked-back hair, curled his lips into a contemptuous smirk:
"All they do is engage in these pointless little tricks to futilely maintain their ridiculous, antique-like 'dignity'."
A bunch of short-sighted fools who simply can't see the true value of Nathan, this gem.
Or perhaps they know perfectly well what's going on, but lack the courage to actually get involved and take a share.
He paused, glanced around at the steel behemoth that represented Behemoth's formidable military power, and arrogantly added:
"Even if more people and a few more wrecked ships come, what waves can they make against a behemoth like our Behemoth? They are nothing but overconfident ants."
"."
The other one, Gade, had his hair meticulously styled with a center parting.
Upon hearing this, he silently took off his frameless glasses and slowly wiped the lenses with a silk handkerchief.
He actually has a mild case of aversion to stupidity.
I really don't want to see Ron, this self-righteous guy whose brain is empty except for muscles and prejudice, continue to spout nonsense here, foolish and unaware of his own stupidity.
The reason why the University of Tokyo ignored Nathan was because...
It wasn't entirely because of fear of conflict with Behemoth.
It's because they don't care.
For that ancient country with a history spanning thousands of years and a profound cultural heritage that is truly awe-inspiring.
Strategic locations and wonders that Behemoth considered treasures were nothing more than sand in the face of their extravagant wealth... plentiful and countless.
Even so, it is the most core and most valuable sacred tree of Nathan.
Gade recalled that he had only done some research out of curiosity and easily found more than a dozen items.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be too worried about annexing Nathan Island.
Since Nathan is of almost no value to the University of Tokyo, they will most likely choose to ignore him.
However, the increasingly tense standoff in the South China Sea has brought relations between the two sides to a freezing point.
At this critical juncture, it would be truly absurd for them to allow Behemoth to easily devour this prize.
Unfortunately, although Gade was also one of Behemoth's directors, he had little status in the family and the company because of his father.
Even if he voiced these speculations...
Ron, this arrogant egomaniac blinded by power and pride, was absolutely unwilling to listen to a single word, and instead turned around to mock his own cowardice.
Whatever.
Gade put his clean glasses back on and made a decision in his heart.
No matter what happens on the island next, he will... never set foot on the island himself!
Anyway, he didn't have much real power and was just a figurehead in this operation.
If anything really happens, it will be Ron, that stubborn and foolish idiot, who will take the blame.
He refused to believe that if he stayed obediently on this aircraft carrier, which represented the pinnacle of modern technology, what could possibly threaten him in this world or these seas?
Surely it's not like the University of Tokyo could actually send out a sword immortal like those described in folk tales, who would fly in on a sword and cleave the aircraft carrier in two with a single strike?
The absurd idea that suddenly popped into his head made Gade laugh out loud.
He had seen many extraordinary people, but how could he have seen such a powerful being capable of destroying the world?
It's nothing but absurd legends concocted by mediocre people...

"What? You mean, Mo Yu has landed on the island?!"
Meanwhile, in the Nadutong conference room, Zhao Fangxu received a phone call, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.
Others may not know Mo Yu's background, but the company's head, who has had several in-depth conversations with the Old Master, does.
In addition to the methods Mo Yu possessed, he knew of at least half of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.
Zhao Fangxu can say without exaggeration that there is very little in this world that can restrain this kid.
Otherwise, Na Du Tong wouldn't have turned a blind eye to him.
This thing, a humanoid natural disaster, just happened to end up on Nathan Island, an equally sensitive point of conflict, amidst the current sensitive situation...
This is like throwing a barrel of high-purity explosives into a pile of dry wood that was already about to ignite!
Old Zhao really had no choice but to think things through!
Zhao Fangxu hung up the phone, picked up a handkerchief from the table to wipe his sweat, and a look of worry and contemplation appeared in his eyes.
Beside him, Bi Youlong, one of the company's directors, sat with a stern face.
While still planning the operation against Nathan Island, the company not only failed to hand over the overall command to him, a veteran with rich field experience, but instead gave this important task to... Director Huang, who had always been in charge of scientific research and stayed in the logistics department, and he was still resentful about it.
It wasn't that he looked down on logistics or had any issues with Director Huang, who was in charge of logistics.
This kind of fieldwork task, no matter how you look at it, should have been assigned to him, right?!
Zhao Fangxu glanced at Bi Youlong, who was still sulking beside him, and couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
Thankfully, this time we chose Little Yellow instead of Swimming Dragon.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of 'world-shaking wisdom' could be generated when two ruthless individuals like Bi Youlong, who is radical in his actions, and Mo Yu, who is decisive and quick to blow things up, collide?
Old Zhao has a weak heart and really can't handle anything too stimulating.
In addition, Huang Boren needs to be reminded again about Nathan Island.
[Zhao: Mo Yu has landed on the island. Keep a close eye on things and act when the opportunity arises.] [Huang: Keep an eye on what? Old Zhao, you wouldn't be thinking of... having me take advantage of this opportunity to... do... you know... to him on the island, would you?]
[Zhao: (spitting blood) What are you thinking! With your abilities and your small group, even if I really asked you to get rid of him, could you? If you had that ability, I'd give you my chairman's position, how about that?!]
[Huang: (Relieved) That puts my mind at ease. I was really worried that you guys would hold a little meeting while I was away and vote on whether to sell it to me.]
[Zhao: ...Anyway, keep a close eye on him. Mo Yu is like a ticking time bomb; if you don't touch him, nothing will happen. But with Behemoth's gang, they're the type who'd kick a dog if it walked by; if the two sides get together, a conflict is inevitable!]
[Huang: Got it, I'll keep a close eye on it. I'll see if there's an opportunity to sabotage Behemoth.]
[Zhao: Hmm, you're teachable. The reason I sent you is because I'm confident in your cowardly, cunning, and treacherous nature.]
【yellow:???】
[Zhao: Hehe, enough of that. This concerns the fate of the nation, so be careful in everything! As for Mo Yu... if the situation allows, help her if you can. After all, they're family abroad.]
[Huang: Understood!]

Nathan Island, Royal Palace.
Elijah the cat sat alone in a shady corner, smoking a cigarette with his eyes half-closed.
Their young queen is currently communicating with the Emerald Society, the official supernatural organization of the former British Empire that banished the Forest Kingdom years ago.
They attempted to persuade the other side to help Nathan Island escape its fate of being annexed by Behemoth by referencing the treaty signed by their ancestors.
However, Wang was still too young, and having grown up on the island, his information about the outside world came entirely from books or the internet; he had never been able to see the world for himself.
Even with exceptional intelligence, one must possess unwavering determination.
But she was still a girl under twenty, and in many things she still retained a girl's naiveté.
The spirit of contract? It's just a piece of waste paper.
Moreover, the once-mighty British Empire, which destroyed the Forest Kingdom, is now just a small kingdom. It's hard to say who is the son and who is the father between the two countries, the United States and the United States.
To expect Emerald to condemn Behemoth? He wouldn't dare.
Based on Elijah's understanding of the Emerald Society, that old fellow, who upheld the family tradition of being a troublemaker, would definitely try to fool the king with a theory that seemed correct but was actually nothing more than robber logic.
The ultimate goal, most likely, is to persuade the king to destroy the sacred tree himself.
But it wasn't because of his bullshit theories; he simply didn't want Behemoth to profit.
Don't let Behemoth's formidable strength fool you.
However, we can focus solely on the aspect of the inheritance of extraordinary individuals.
With a history that is too short, their foundation is not even comparable to that of many small countries. They rely entirely on modern technology and biochemical modifications, barely surviving on the sacrifice of human lives.
Although the Kingdom of Japan and the Emerald Society are no longer as powerful as they once were and cannot compete with the United States and Behemoth, they are still formidable forces.
But deep down, they still maintain the same disdain and contempt that old aristocrats have for the nouveau riche.
They certainly didn't want to see Behemoth annex Nathan, as Nathan's resources could, to some extent, compensate for their own shortcomings.
It's important to understand that the "Forest Kingdom" was, in a sense, inherited from the United States. If it also inherited some of its traditions to supplement its foundation...
"Buzz~"
Just as Elijah was lost in thought, his cell phone beeped.
When I took it out, I saw it was a text message from an unknown number.
【I am coming. 】
A seemingly random remark caused a flicker of confusion to cross Elijah's eyes.
"Was it sent to the wrong number?"
He muttered to himself as he turned off his phone screen, intending to put it back in his pocket.
Suddenly, something popped into my head!
On that day, the divine tree exhibited unusual behavior.
Wang and his companions tracked down Ruan Feng's residence. Although it was deserted when they arrived, the traces left at the scene indicated that there were three people there.
Of those three people, he could confirm the identities of two of them.
Afterwards, behind the king's back, he contacted the person behind the scenes, wanting to inquire about the name and identity of the third person, who was also the most likely person to cause the strange behavior of the divine tree.
He didn't get a definite answer, only that he would give his contact information to that person.
He asked the man to give him a message when he returned to the island, but that request was refused.
I waited for several days, but I still didn't receive any contact from them.
Elijah had already given up all hope.
But this unexpected news rekindled a spark of hope in him.
Although he did not believe at all that Nathan had the power to fight Behemoth.
Yet they believed in the divine tree's guidance without reservation, almost obsessively.
He hesitated for a moment, then sent a message.
"I am Elijah, the guard of Nathan Island. May I ask your name?"
Elijah stared intently at his phone screen, fearing the other person might suddenly stop replying. Fortunately, his fears were not realized.
Soon, another message appeared on his phone screen, containing only two words.
