Man on the ark, forced to become king

Huang, who was hiding behind Chen, suddenly erupted.

From Chen's attitude, Huang could sense that this man might actually be able to help her. This might be her only chance in her life, and she had to seize it, no matter the cost!

But as soon as she said those thoughtless words, she regretted them.

Paying her a reward sounds nice, but what reward can she afford now?

You can't just make up a lie, can you?

In that case... there might be a slight chance of getting help, but if it turns out the reward was fake, then offending someone with such power would likely result in a worse outcome than it is now.

In fact, Lin Lu could guess a bit about Huang's situation. What kind of reward could a young girl who had left her hometown and lost her family offer?

However, he did not refute it, but instead looked up at the lush golden canopy.

Suddenly, the uncontrolled golden tree emitted a faint glow, and a leaf fell, drifting down and landing right on the girl's forehead. It then shattered into specks of light that seeped into her skin.

The Golden Tree, through its own spirituality, chose a person.

This is not impossible. The golden tree itself does not have the ability to think, but as the cradle of life, it still has spirituality. Once a person with a very high affinity for the power of the golden tree appears, the golden tree will react on its own.

For example, Mostima immediately manifested her golden angel form after receiving the blessing, and now she is bestowing a pure blessing.

This means that the tragic girl, Felin, has an extraordinary ability to adapt to the Golden Tree. Her body and her will have been recognized by the Golden Tree. She was born to be a member of the Golden Tree and may grow to an extraordinary height in the future!

Now... there's no way to ignore it.

On one side is a power struggle whose origins are unclear, and on the other side are the blessed individuals who could potentially become one of the future pillars of the Golden Tree. The choice is not difficult.

The people from his Golden Tree are not so easy to bully.

Isn't it just a matter of involving the Yan Kingdom's official authorities?

This matter is under Lin's control!

So what if we just bump into each other?

The information revealed by the wolf mother made him somewhat wary of the Yan Kingdom, but wariness is not the same as fear. What's wrong with intervening?

While the overall strength of the Golden Tree cannot compare with that of the entire Yan Kingdom, it still possesses five god-level powerhouses!

Those who would resort to such petty tricks to eliminate dissidents are unlikely to be those in the highest positions in Yan Kingdom. Would the Yan Kingdom's top leadership offend a power with several strong individuals over a 'trivial matter'?

Lin Lu simply didn't believe that politicians who were masters of making choices would make such an unwise decision.

"Are you sure you want to pay me? My asking price isn't low."

"I……"

Huang bit his lip, but ultimately shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I was just... I'm very sorry, I can't afford the price you asked for help."

"No, you can afford it."

Lin Lu stood up from her chair and pointed. Huang was surprised to find that a faint glow suddenly appeared on the surface of his body.

"The price is that you, from now until the future, belong to the Golden Tree and to me. In return, I can protect you from harm."

"I won't help you take revenge, but I can give you enough power to do so."

As soon as she finished speaking, golden light spread out. Huang raised her arm in a daze and found that her body and strength were growing stronger at an unbelievable speed. It was a feeling she had never experienced before, and she even felt that she could do anything now.

That's obviously an illusion. The Golden Tree's blessing doesn't have the ability to instantly turn a weakling into a master, and even if Lin Lu had it, she wouldn't give it to her.

The so-called omnipotence is actually just an illusion brought about by the rapid increase in power, because she was really too weak before, pitifully weak, and only after suddenly gaining power did she have that feeling.

"..."

Chen, standing to the side, glanced at the radiant Huang, then at himself, and felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

Is the teacher... trying to trick people into signing indenture contracts again?

She agreed to the same conditions in exchange for Lin Lu's promise to find Talulah for her, and now she's about to fulfill that promise.

So, at the Golden Tree, you can fulfill your wishes simply by selling yourself?

"I am willing!"

Just like Chen before him, Huang only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He raised his head with a determined look and said loudly, "As long as you can protect me and give me strength, I will be loyal to you!"

It's just trading the future for the present, right? Take it!

Whenever she closes her eyes, the images of her parents' voices and smiles often appear in her mind. If she has the chance, she will definitely take revenge on those people with her own hands!

A person should know their own limitations. Huang didn't think he was a genius or that he had much value. He was just a life, and if he could get a chance for revenge and protection in return, he would be extremely happy!

"Okay, I like your personality!"

Lin Lu grinned, feeling relaxed and happy.

He truly didn't expect that such an unexpected surprise would come to him while he was lying at home.

Being recognized by the Golden Tree means that Huang has the potential to grow to the level of the Crucible Knight in the future.

Despite killing many Forge Knights, the Forge Knights are actually quite formidable.

Those were the elite warriors who once followed the First King, Griffin, in his conquests of the borderlands! A mere handful of them possessed the strength to confront armies head-on, truly standing among the world's top powerhouses!

Just by providing shelter, you can reap a promising seed for the future. Isn't that wonderful?

As for revenge...

If he had the power, he wouldn't stop Huang from doing it. By the time this girl reaches that level, the Golden Tree might have already evolved into the Life Furnace or an even higher form.

By then, the real golden tree will stand tall on the earth, and it will be able to handle even the biggest troubles!

Now, let's first ask who's involved in this matter, and then get Wei Yanwu's opinion. Maybe that old fox will have a way to resolve it? After all, he's the lord of a city, so he has some status.

"Tell me, who exactly is involved in your matter?"

"I'm not quite sure either. I've only heard my father say that the person who attacked us might be related to a prince in the imperial court."

When his own affairs were brought up, Huang Gao's high spirits suddenly dropped, and even the cat ears that had been standing upright on his head drooped down.

She wasn't ignorant; of course she knew what being a prince meant.

Even the most incompetent and powerless prince is still a member of the royal family!

For ordinary people, that is an insurmountable mountain!

She agreed to the deal, but does this person really have a way to do it?

That's the prince...

"Your Highness..."

Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little numb.

So all his guesses were wrong? This matter really involves high-ranking figures in Yan Kingdom?

However, since he had already said it, as a man, he certainly couldn't say he couldn't do it at this point.

So what if he's a prince? Killing him is difficult, but protecting someone is still a viable option.

"Don't rush, just stay here and don't go anywhere. Xiao Chen, stay with her and don't wander off."

With a nonchalant wave of her hand, Lin Lu turned and went back into the house, intending to call Wei Yanwu first. At the very least, given that old fox's methods and control over Longmen, hiding someone wouldn't be difficult.

At worst, we can just take them back to Kazdel. Do you think the Yan people can go all the way to Kazdel to look for them?

-------------------------------------

"Hmm, Lin Lu?"

Inside the study, Wei Yanwu was sitting opposite Adams, who had regained his youth, drinking tea and chatting, when the telephone on the table suddenly rang.

Upon seeing the name displayed, Lao Long immediately perked up, waved his hand to signal Adams not to speak, and then picked up the phone to answer it.

Immediately, the dragon's smiling face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I need to find out more about this first. How about we meet later to discuss it?"

After hearing the reply from the other end, Wei Yanwu hung up the phone, his brows furrowed. He suddenly looked up and said, "Adams, Lin Lu is back. She came to me with something. She just took on a subordinate who offended a prince in the court. We don't know who it is yet. What do you think about this?"

How should I see it? I'll sit down and watch!

Adams rolled his eyes. After his body became younger, his mindset also became much younger.

He knew this old guy all too well, so why was he telling him this? It was obvious he wanted something in return.

So what if I offend a prince? This is Longmen!

To be honest, given Wei Yanwu's status, he wasn't afraid of any princes, especially since it was on his own territory. Protecting someone wouldn't be difficult for him.

Bringing this up to their face at this time is clearly a way of asking for money.

Didn't you want to contact Lin Lu again to ask for another Golden Tree Dew Drop? Well then, here's an opportunity. As long as the Swire Group spends a little money, we can take advantage of this favor.

Although Wei Yanwu didn't say it explicitly, Adams immediately understood and cursed him in his heart as an old fox.

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Old Long truly put this saying into practice. He made a good promise before, but now that he had the chance to make a profit, he didn't hesitate to take advantage of it.

But it doesn’t matter!

Swire Group may not have much else, but it has a lot of money!

As long as he can get another dose of Golden Tree Dew, it's not a loss. Adams will pay for it!
